Good, maybe they will get sick quicker and be asked to stand down. I'm okay with a Pelosi presidency for the foreseable future just so I can feel like our country has a fighting chance to do better once this settles down.
First off, he completely ignores what his CDC and WHO experts say re: naming of the virus. But worse, approximately one-fifth of American citizens are Americans of Chinese descent. But he wants to be "accurate"...
Bullshit... Continue to see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, when it comes to China while they keep raping the planet up the ass. Re: Trump, there is plenty of domestic blame to go around trust me. But not before the world does something about China imo. They are a common enemy the world should rally against.

It sneaks up on him and most of his admin. He knew nothing months ago. He knows a bit more now. However, this is not static and is fast evolving. We can't afford such an incompetent leader in an emergency, but yet here we are.
It fires up his base while avoids his answering where the test kits are that he has been promising for weeks...
I wonder if Frank Luntz conducted the focus groups/polling that suggested calling COVID-19 the "China virus" would be money for redirecting attention from Trump's lies and how much he has bungled this crisis (much like he has bungled most every aspect of this job except lining his pockets). This pandemic is beyond his control. This is an easy win as far as easy wins go. Listen to the scientists and professionals. Let the CDC lead. Listen to the people who know who the federal government works and what capabilities and resources the federal government has at its disposal. Care more about succeeding with actual results instead of looking successful for you voting base and riling up xenophobia. I mean, he is so incompetent that he can't bring himself to be honest and be good at his job for selfish and cynical reasons. I really hope our country learns its lesson about the importance of competent leadership in public office. Edit: I mean... you can't make this **** up. You have former federal officials tweeting at the president to get him to do basic stuff like release the strategic reserve of ventilators and use the defense production act to meet our medical equipment needs... sigh. This dude seems more responsive to tweets and pleas on foxnews channel than to the remaining experts in government (those who he hasn't already driven out of their jobs for not being loyal).
stockpiled 10 ventilators ....... lol hmm. .. let's see what world can do. I guess you can wait for another 5000 years.
What on earth are you talking about? You are drinking Trump's koolaid. Plenty of domestic blame to go around for this? I am sure you will find a way to spin this and blame Pelosi haha.
Meanwhile he relies on his son-in-law to canvas ideas in FB groups. Trump runs the country like he ran his "empire" - a family small business. He doesn't know how to delegate because he doesn't trust. He's a micromanager who is stuck in the weeds and tries to be involved in the minutia and that makes him incapable of running a large organization or a country for that matter. We all know he is a complete and utter disaster. What's amazing is the 40 some percent including people like @ipaman continue to support him. You can understand the die hard ones who seem him as their god-leader, but he really can get away with anything and not lose support. How does a clearly incompetent leader man-child like Trump garner so much loyalty? My only guess is that it comes down to the race baiting he does which they really identify with him. His anti-Science anti-liberal mindset seems to really appeal to those who feel the same way. He taps into their anger and they really bond with it. It's truly remarkable.
It has been a childish response from a weak government, he and his team cut most of the people that would have been ahead of this.......lord I hope his cult followers realize we need an actual leader in power to be effective in times of stress. DD
