Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI was watching MSNBC, and Trump said again today that no one could have seen this coming.
He said that no one could have predicted this even as close as one month ago.
Except for the minor detail that this has been covered by the media since November, and there have been thousands of stories about the corona virus, my guess is that Trump missed all of those stories, and his daily briefings, and has already forgotten all of the questions posed to him by the reporters at every one of his press appearances.
The other alternative, that the media avoids at all cost, is that Trump is adding to his 16,000 plus lies.

(42,641 posts)That so many people could vote for an idiot, and still support him after 3 and 1/2 years have exposed how unfit he is.
But we know that this is another example of the GOP attempting to rewrite history.
Remember that we have always been at war with Oceania.

Hey Republicans, remember what happened the last time a republican president screwed something up this badly?
That's right, a black man got elected. Wanna take bets on what the american electorate will punish your fossilized party with this go round?
My bets on something resembling Universal Health Care. And that's for STARTERS.

(4,723 posts)He did nothing because he feared if he did, he'd spook the market and hurt his reelection. Well, Sparky, ya did nothing and your beautiful, perfect, grand, great, market ain't doing so hot now. Maybe if you'd done something months ago, this clustertrump might not be such a cluster.
In my 46 years, I've never seen anything like this. I've never seen a president so absolutely worthless--worse than that, actually, since he is actually making things WORSE with his irresponsible, reckless behavior. And I am including Dubya "Heckuva job, Brownie" Bush in this.
Good grief, man, go hole up at your golf course for a few months and let the adults handle things.

(10,230 posts)Trump was only concerned about riding the economic wave till November. He never give a rat's ass about anything else, certainly not our health and safety.
