    Of his botching of the corona response. Of not having viable test kits until WEEKS after they should have been available. He has been late on every single response. If I'm right, Americans will pay with their lives for his f*** ups.

    Because of what? A test hasn't stopped anybody from being sick. lol
    The US just made it the norm to close schools. People still can spread it at pubs and restaurants.
    All Donald did, is stop people from entering the US with the virus.
    But it's already in the US.

    Yeah.

    Trump screwed up massively.

    Hoping for a "miracle" and not taking things seriously.

    This ALL on Trump.

    This is idiotic. No rational person blames President Trump for a global pandemic.

    Now we hear Canada is closing it's borders to anyone not Canadian or American, the left will have to change their talking points soon. The leftiest Lefty Prime Minister doesn't agree with Biden or Bernie, he actually cares about his citizens like Trump.

    You do realize we have what 3 or 4 times the amount of people Italy does right? Are you saying we're doing a better job than Italy?

    You realize we are testing at like 1/10th the rate of Italy?

    You are saying that we are doing an objectively worse job than Italy?

    Not looking good to be in such a shape when you're not immune to convid19.

    .
    The virus was already in the US. Didn't make any sense to not include the UK in there. Trump had to flip flop on that too.

    Indeed. So far he did nothing to prevent the rapid spread.

    Do you, like 2/3rds of Republicans, believe that the media is hyping this virus and that investors are sacrificing billions in assets just to get Trump?

    There's so much unknown. Is it that there's a bunch of walking Corona's and we don't know, or is it that our situation is different? We need to find out.

    Believe me. The millions of Americans who know that Trump is a ****ing moron who lies all the time were already altering their behavior to prepare for this virus long before Trump changed his tune.

    It is the millions of Americans who actually believe Trump when he said this is just like the flu and when he said that he stopped it that are in trouble.

    Get used to the idea of President Biden.

    Democrats had to get used to an IMBECILE like Trump.

    Pot meet Kettle.

    Anyway, back on-topic, Trump's actions were too little/too late.

    His huge mis-step was downplaying the initial threat (and he is now playing catch up).

    A ban doesn't make the virus spread less fast.

    They got the virus. It's already spreading. It's too late for such a measure. The only thing it does, is stop people going to the airport. It's a place where 10.000's of people gather.

    You are correct. But we can blame him for the botched response.
