able to bring in our country's best talent to work together to solve this crisis. He takes credit for everything but also understands how problems should be addressed. He reaches out to the successful companies in the private sector to help. He doesn't depend on government to provide all the answers. Maybe that's why the dow jumped almost 2,000 points today.
I also thought the Texas and New York governor’s press conferences today were spot on. I like Abbott, I don’t like Cuomo, but today they were both straight forward and showed a good grasp of the facts and presented a bit of leadership.

He has organized a private sector component and he deserves credit for that.
He cut red tape and deserves credit for that as well.
You are so full of bile and hate you can’t see straight.

and imagine being stupid enough to pay for it.
But, the health officials cannot assess the risks until we have reliable data.
We cannot have reliable data until we have accessible and reliable testing.
Hence, it is imperative to shut down social interaction so we can get a reliable snapshot with good data. Italy made the mistake of not doing so. Their hospital beds are overrun.
Yes, it is disruptive to school kids and families and businesses, but we cannot guess wrong on the trajectory.
Once we have the good data (next week perhaps), then federal and state health officials can manage the various risks in our respective communities.
An extended “snow day” won’t kill us. We’ll bounce back quickly.
I feel better about our nation's response as a result of the presser.
Donald was Donald. Immediately, he chimes in about how his admin has done such a fabulous job and has done so much better than other countries. This shit just infuriates me and is beyond old. Nobody believes his hyperbole and it only serves to make him look foolish.
It was a dud of a presser until he turned it over to his admin - the chick Dr was excellent, I thought - and particularly, the industry leaders who have pledged support. That's what I wanted to see and hear.
Donald is ultimately responsible so he gets the credit for a good showing. I just wish he would talk less and try - as much as it goes against every fiber of his being - to stick to facts.

Trump has fucked this up from the jump. The fact that he is finally getting out of his own way does not impress me.

done for you to say that he is “getting out of his own way”.

He would be better off not patting himself on the back for the job his admin is doing. We have heard enough of that shit. I guess he just can't help himself. It's who he is.
Now he should just STFU. No one cares about his "big" India deal.
Taking credit or assigning blame is also not leadership.
but he still is bringing the best and brightest in to solve this crisis. Take a look at who spoke today. Public Private partnership. Over and over today he asked reporters to question the experts. Of course the media only tried to attack Trump.
He was bragging about how we only had 15 cases.
What a tool.
Just solve the feckin problem and we will figure out who was to blame for it.
that case Trump wasn't lying just given wrong information. While I will admit he lies a lot, in this instance he was mislead. Fauci backs him up.
and have the CDC redo the whole thing.
Again, how is ANY of this helpful in solving the problem?
Literally, all he can do is blame other people.
not prepared. Should we have said the same about Sars 12,000 deaths under Obama? Did you post how incompetent he was? If it's just Trump saying this that's one things. But the officials at CDC and NIH are saying the same. These are not Trump people Fauci has been heading NIH since the mid 80's. Stop being such a partisan.
Look it’s real simple. Blame and credit later. Right now just fix the problem, and given what he is, I would get the feck out of the way of the experts and stay there. Tweets included. Just stop the political games. If he does that I’m happy and behind him.
P.S I’m buying next week. Some good stuff out there cheap.

Now he should go into quarantine until the virus crisis is behind us.
That speech was a total disaster so let's not pretend that his tweets are the only problem.
But agree he was better today. Hopefully this is the moment the tide turns.
