Trump’s latest tweet
This is why this man was unfit for the present moment. From the beginning, to now and beyond, only one thing has mattered to him: the effect of this on his re-election.
That’s why he dithered at first.
That’s why he wants everything opened by Easter.
That’s why he seeks to shift blame, first and foremost.
I saw this tweet and depression set in. No other leader anywhere in the world would say this.

Oh. So in the proper context, Trump's tweet wasn't so bad?

41 had a 90% approval rating around Desert Storm. W had the same after 9/11.

It’s called the “rally ‘round the flag” phenomenon
Support for the government always rises in times of crisis. GWB’s approval rating after 9/11 was in the 90s - an all-time high.
It’s temporary, though.
Come on Cheeks. A CNN link. I know you're better than that.

Did you read it?
According to CNN, enemy #1, Trump's approval is at an all time high and approval for his handling of the crisis is at 60%.
I didn’t but have seen those same numbers
Elsewhere. Shocking that CNN would carry the truth about Trump.
Trump is correct as usual that the economy needs to keep moving full steam ahead

Do you live in Queens? Or is this a reference to... err... an orientation?
Don't take me wrong. I'm joking. I just thought that everyone in NYC wanted all federal resources and $ focused on the 5 boroughs.
I am sure I could beat any man in a fist fight

I am not currently in Queens and am against the economic stimulus bill

He’s bored. No rallies, no state dinners, no summits. Just governing and dealing with a virus.
Can’t use all his toys. Can’t golf.
Trump also wants to get the country back to work
(no message)
I think that pretty much sums up the Easter reopening. Golf and MAGA rallies to follow.

It is sad, isn't it? That this is what we have chosen as a "leader."
If only there had been less than 17 Republican candidates... we might have an adult President.
Yup. Beyond depressing.

The real threat to the media is that they lose their control of the panic button now. Trump did not
tweet that the virus was a media creation or that everyone should go back to work. In fact, the precautions that we now follow are at his admin's guidance. But he did accurately call out the msm's behavior of intentionally inciting panic for political motives as well as off hope to the country of a recovery that would be sooner than the Left would like with the upcoming election and a candidate that is mentally unfit and is being hidden now.
No Donald said it was a Democratic hoax.

Not about the virus, professor, completely out of context.
(no message)
Wrong, he said the spread of the virus was a Democrat hoax.
He said it more than once.
Why do you continue to push back when there is video and contemporaneous evidence contrary to your arguments?
That’s why you’re called a cultist.
It’s not about you. Who cares if you are depressed?

You got all that and depression from one tweet? A new level of TDS.
And don't forget to wash your hands and practice social distancing. There I helped you today.
See you at the beach. Party on.

You're stroking a boner from the tweet and you told him to wash his hands? Good grief.

Who here follows Trump's tweets?
(no message)
Not his supporters, that's for sure.
Hearing what he actually says would change their version of reality.
I've been doing pretty well ignoring almost everything he says, and just watching what he does.
(no message)
It's interesting you guys don't apply the same criteria to Biden
As you focus on all his verbal gaffes, but ignore his years and years of service in the Senate and as VP.
Did you watch what the unpatriotic cowardly cock sucker did during Vietnam. I did. Fuck him
His talk is just bull shit.
Only crazed liberals read Trump's tweets

Are you saying you don't?

Yes. I never see his tweets unless you guys post them.

Maybe you should check out the scumbag you voted for. You might learn something.

I don't. The only way I find out about them is here on the Open from Lefties.
(no message)
Probably don't watch his press conferences either, huh?
Ignorance is bliss I guess.
So, only "lefties" follow Trump on twitter?
(no message)
That's right, jim. Think about it.
(no message)
Far too deep for me.
(no message)
I'm sure there are a bunch of lefties that follow him.
How else would they find out what to be depressed about? I don't follow him but I see his retweets from people I follow. They crack me up.
Stroking a boner? Wow. You got that from what I said. You're a sad person.
And I was just reminding him to wash his hands. Looking out for his well being since his TDS level is out of control. He could have forgotten.
He now has all his eggs in one basket.
(no message)
and that basket is the US recovery - which you are strongly hoping will fail.
(no message)
Not one person is hoping the recovery will fail. It is offensive to suggest otherwise.

That comment right there is hilarious, or stupid. Bill Maher admitted as much.
(no message)
Not one, no. There are many with TDS.
(no message)
And not one of them is hoping for a failed recovery.
Give me a break. Geez.
You want a recovery after the point that Trump is harmed irrreparably, but no sooner...and
if it means the country is irreparably harmed, then so be it. You are ill.
No. I am not ill. I am offended. And you ae

I'm hoping this thing is over with long before then, but science and the short history of this virus
tells us, we're not going to free from it for sometime
But the real question is, why would a sitting president make a dumbass prediction (publicly) like that when the obvious is obvious
not to mention those who work in the field are hoping at best for it to be over june/july?
He's a selfish fucking moron who cares little for this country - he's throwing dice and it's for his benefit, not yours.
Well even Cuomo said there is evidence the curve is flattening in New York and thanked Trump.
(no message)
What he said was, the numbers in NewYork are doubling in 4 days not 2
2 which had been the norm for almost a week. The isolation and shutdown appeared to be working.
The numbers will still overflow the hospitals and ICU bed count by Friday. The death toll is rising rapidly.
Corona virus as an intelligence failure
I know this guy; he is an expert on intel failures.

What a biased, amaterish article! Let's review a few things you seem to willfully forget
It was the WHO who reassured our CDC and in thurn the CDC then the president about the corona virus in mid January (see the WHO Jan 14 tweet saying that it wasn't transmitting human to human if you don't believe me). The WHO had been lied to by China and provided with false data which they took as fact.
DESPITE THIS, as signals rolled in of China expelling foreign reporters and continued conflicting reports came out of China, Trump elected to halt all travel to our largest trading country - this despite the media calling him a racist, and this despite the fact that it would hit his economy in an election year. To this day, it is the single biggest move to "flatten the curve" that has been done by anyon in the world to date.
Now, let's look at your article. Specifically this gem of a quote of what passes for journalism these days:
"Last week, the Washington Post reported on the steady drumbeat of coronavirus warnings that the intelligence community presented to the White House in January and February. These alerts made little impact upon senior administration officials, who were undoubtedly influenced by President Donald Trump’s constant derision of the virus, which he began on Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control." ".
a) Her source of information is the hyper partisan WaPo
b) Her claim that the alerts coming in made little impact on senior officials is clearly false since they did carry out the most drastic option available which was to shut down all travel to China, despite the WHO health experts still not calling it a crisis
c) Her statement that Trump senior staff "was undoubtedly influenced by President Donald Trump's constant derision of the virus" is a fucking assumption made by a clearly biased, and unprofessional journalist. yet you take this as fact.
Tell me how she can know what was influencing them, and tell me how she supports her claims about trump who still acted more strongly than she or the rest of the media thought was appropriate at the time?
Now, since we are talking about intellegince failures, when has the intelligence department done something right? They missed 9/11, WMD's,Soviet collapse,
Bay of Pigs, Rosenbergs, Iranian Revolution, Soviets into Afghanistan, etc., etc.. A department littered with so many failures who also spied on their political opponent yet failed there too, ultimately.

The article is crap regardless of chromosomes for the reasons I stated. You have to do better than
"He is an expert". What he obviously is, is a partisan based on the points that I made.
It seems the "experts" are the most influenced by their own political bias. This has been true for a
long time, especially on the left.
They are certainly at least as influenced by partisanship as anyone else.
