"President Donald Trump acknowledged the “deadly” nature of the coronavirus earlier this year in a series of recorded interviews with The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward, even as Trump publicly sought to dismiss the disease’s threat to Americans amid its initial U.S. outbreak."

It's on tape in his own words. Listen for yourself.

"So you approve of the President hiding the truth because the American public is too stupid... Is that what leadership is?

Do you really feel that way or just being cynical?

Giving the facts would have ultimately saved lives."

Good God, you really are that fucking stupid.

Then why did you even ask?

They have a better shot at surviving in China. Just sayin.

I was watching videos of a young couple that was stranded in China.
They posted videos daily with what was going on there . They lasted a week and disappeared.

2MUCH---->Show us anything you've said that isn't just opinion

Why would I go dumpster dive into my own history to satisfy your opinion?

"Again, that's an opinion."

Show us anything you've said that isn't just opinion. We await your pivot and deflection.

EROTIC---->But you are proving the point . . . you will defend Trump no matter what.

No it doesn't prove that point at all. All it means is that it's convenient NOW to pull a speech from a former President that the Democrats accused of being senile while in office. Next thing you know you'll be advocating the country stop for 5 days to honor John McCain. Or perhaps times does heal all wounds LOL

@PHX

Don't play the game.

Post it.

Post what Carter and Mondale said about Reagan's leadership. Of course, it would have to be post their time in office.

But you are proving the point . . . you will defend Trump no matter what.

“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things (accomplishments and aspirations), not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”

That is a speech by a leader who didn't treat the citizens as dumb asses.

Then you have Trump's approach.

Here is another leader:

"Message to the Congress on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Epidemic Action Plan

August 5, 1988

To the Congress of the United States:

I have approved a 10-point action plan to advance the national and international response to the public health threat caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and the AIDS epidemic. These strong measures require compassion, cooperation, and commitment from all levels of government and all segments of society.

It is imperative that action and progress continue in the Federal government and in the private sector, as well as throughout the Nation. Those infected with the HIV must be treated with dignity and compassion as our health systems accelerate their response to the infection. To this end, my initiatives direct that every Federal agency adopt policies and guidelines on compassionate treatment of HIV-infected persons in the workplace. I ask that unions, schools, businesses, and private citizens consider adopting similar guidelines. The 10-point action plan is consistent with the fine work and recommendations of the President's Commission, which has moved the Nation forward in its understanding of the HIV infection and AIDS.

I now ask the Congress to take another important step forward; I ask you to enact the FY 1989 appropriations for HIV activities as expeditiously as possible. I further call on the Congress to adopt the FY 1990 budget request regarding HIV measures as soon as possible after the budget is submitted.

It is imperative to the future of our Nation that we move with compassion and skill to ease the tremendous human, social, and economic costs caused by the HIV infection and AIDS. I know we can work together in this matter of tremendous concern and priority for all Americans.

Ronald Reagan

The White House,

August 5, 1988."

Hmm. What does this say about Trump's leadership?

Danbury, CT, Us

Correct , he let Americans come home instead of possibly dying in China.
Where did they go ? Into quarantine.

But he didn't shut down all flights from China.

Danbury, CT, Us

Someone is getting SCHOOLED.

Didn't the Dems call Trump racist for shutting down flights from China witch prompted Nancy our slurred speaker to do a photo op in China town ?
Just going by memory here .

Well, that’s an opinion

Defending Trump's incompetence is like a reflex action for you guys.

Jump over to the COVID thread and read from the beginning. A lot of smart people panicking over innuendo, changing data and Orange Man Bad rhetoric. Hell, some of those seemingly smart people are still hiding under their beds. So if the seemingly smart people are panicked on what most really don’t know...there is no help for the idiots.
