(9,895 posts)You also pulled the US resource OUT of China in a fit of pique because the answer was already in place, but your FAR superior predecessor was responsible for it and your fragile, infantile ego could not abide that he was so much better than you in EVERY respect.
Donald J. Trump is a life-long fraud and loser. Later today, after the SCOTUS determines that the Constitution does NOT grant him king-like status, expect him to once again grab his ball and storm off...hopefully for good, or at least until he is sent to prison.

During a flood, I don't base my actions on what my neighbors are doing or not doing. They can deny the water is already in their house but that does not mean I opt to ignore the dangers of flood waters to my own home. To my family. I don't get to watch as my house is destroyed and my family drowns and blame my neighbors for my decision to not act.
My actions to defend my family and my home are not based on how my neighbor reacts to a crisis.
Like in hurricanes. Just because my neighbor decides to ride it out doesn't mean I should.

(232 posts)...would have been time he spent
1) Calling it a 'Democrat Hoax'
2) Claiming it was under control
3) Generally standing around with one thumb up his butt and the other busily typing about his great ratings
It would have made no difference in his response, which President Obama described accurately.
