Donald Trump

@mace1229 A lot to unpack.. here's my perspective.. and ftr, I'm a centrist Democrat and support many center to center right policies, but I do despise Trump because of many things, but mostly because of his boundless narcissism.
1. You hit the nail on the head regarding the his initial response. (1.) He ignored the intelligence he received in Jan/Feb (2.) He minimized the issue publicly (3.) He riffed about how it would go from 15 to 0 (4.) He mused that he didn't want to disembark the Americans from the ship in SF bay because he "liked the numbers where they were" 4. His presser at the CDC while wearing a campaign hat was abominable.
2. He did hype the drug. Is it his 'fault' that they took it in AZ? Not culpably. Would those people ever even think about it if he didn't riff about it at his news conference? Well maybe not. It was stupid and still connected to his magical thinking process where he invents what he wishes to be true.
3. Brian Williams - I'm sorry, no way that was intentional. They were idiots, starting with the NY Times reporter. Journalists are evidently bad at math. I picked that up in two seconds. No way did they 'plan' that. And why would they? To what end? If the are liberal media, how does Bloomberg's spend hurt Trump? Sorry, it doesn't make a lick of sense both practically and for any purpose.
4. Yes, the gov't can force factories to re-tool. He did it today to GM to make ventilators. Cuomo has been asking him to do it for three weeks. I've been bitching that the army needs to build temp hospitals. Trump can do more federally. He has been, and continues to be slow to react. And it's his re-election chances that are on his mind first and foremost, IMO.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/27/trump-slams-gm-over-ventilator-production-delays-costs-151885
5. There are many of us who have watched these past month of slow action, magical thinking and press conference disasters, and that's the same thing we saw when he cut up the JCPOA, pretended he had a deal with North Korea, built his sham wall, etc. These are the same behaviors we've seen over and over. So, speaking for myself, I'm laughing about it while I am sequestered in my house, just like you, while my company's revenue is cut by 15% this month, and probably 30% next month. We saw this coming when Trump faced a REAL crisis. Every other crisis has been one of his own invention... caravans, North Korea missile tests, Iran bombing, etc. He has invented things and then claimed victory. This is real and he was painfully slow on the draw. Now we're all at home.0 -
Read this nonsense as to why we are where we are. This should piss everyone off but it won’t. Because they “believe.”

It seems like people that hate Trump are possibly more obsessed with him than his supporters. It’s like saying you hate Silversun Pickups but that is the only band you ever listen to. Very strange dynamic if you think about it. I wonder if all of the added attention just fuels his ego even more? I can’t imagine any president has ever been talked about or covered as much as him. It’s been pretty much 24/7 for the better part of 4 years.Listening to Carnavas is why the SP reference was thrown in. Anybody else around here a fan of theirs? That run of Pikul, Carnavas and Swoon is crazy good.0

He is fucking up everything he touches and is turning America into a shithole country dictatorship.Of course we should be obsessed with that POS and doing everything possible to save America/the environment/education/the poor/the middle class/minorities/healthcare/allies/the deficit/ etc. from him0 -

These are the guidelines put forth by the CDC. They are the same guidelines the CDC pushed for WEEKS before Trump even acknowledged that COVID-19 was a problem. Suddenly they've become "Trump's guidelines", put out in such a manner as to appear that he is somehow responsible for solutions to the problem. This card, printed at taxpayer expense, reeks of campaigning. UGH!!"0
