Bad display of leadership.

Whilst I love not listening to Donald Trump talk about anything, this to me is an ominous sign. Trump can no longer silence the scientists at the briefings and so he has had to silence them by disbanding the Task Force and its podium. 

Sadly it will not stop Trump and Pompeo's evidence-free evil lies.

If you like satire and haven't checked it out yet search for "Once upon a Virus"...a compellingly truthful and funny video about 2 minutes long.

He is not happy that Dr Fauci has better approval ratings than him. Also typical of him to avoid blame for failing to lead and unify. Now he just blame the state Dems governors. He is a real disappointment in every aspects.

 Fact check your source"Defending his early response to the coronavirus pandemic".

The first sentence is wrong ,It wasn't a pandemic until March 11!

 

 Jan 30th:

DeGette, "who serves as chair of House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations panel, which oversees the CDC and NIH, said after the briefing that while the virus remains mostly contained in China, she remains concerned about the amount of time it will take to develop and deliver a vaccine to people throughout the U.S. should it start to spread here".

"Public health experts have warned that travel bans are not effective at stemming the spread of a virus and can make responding to an outbreak more challenging.

“From a public health perspective, there is limited effectiveness. And then there are a host of other reasons why they can actually be counterproductive,” said Catherine Worsnop, who studies international cooperation during global health emergencies at the University of Maryland".

This was the oppositions response to the POTUS when he banned china the next after the hearing on the31st.

 

 

Please source a dem positive response to the POTUS handling of the virus! Can you!

 

 

I see that you shifted the conversation away from Fauci. That’s fine if you got nothing to add that Trump misquoted Fauci for his own benefit. Typical. 
 

Anyway you again don’t quite fully understand that there was no ban but a travel restriction and there were many gaps that allowed travelers back from Wuhan. On top of that, other international airlines have stopped their flights to China before Trump’s restriction announcement.

A POTUS is only as good as his head infectious disease advisor,fauci, especially when he said late January "the virus is not a major threat to the USA ,at this time"

 

 Your accusation's mirror the opposition party narrative!

It was late February and Trump misquoted Fauci. Fact matters.

So the loudest critics can flaunt and fraud quarantine and masks and social distancing day in and day out, running their mouths about how everyone should stay home etc but if the President shows up without a mask.... Even if hes likely to be the most tested person on the planet... 

 

THE HORROR! HOW DARE TRUMP! 

 

????

More accurate that he is the most rested person. He wakes up at 5 am, watched cable news till noon and spend most of the rest of the day on executive time and then dinner. Played more golf than any previous president too. ????

So 3 years ago we were the leader of the free world, but now we aren’t. And if we elect a democrat as president, we will resume being the leader of the free world? 

The global leadership was lost 3 years ago when he announced the wall paid by Mexico and closer relationship with Putin and Kim. It just got terribly worse culminating with his speech at the UN being mocked and by NATO allies. Any President will be better in leading than Trump.

An alarming insight into democrat voters minds. It appears that they openly crave shine over substance. They want somebody again that can look suitably "progressive" and read carefully prepared platitudes from a teleprompter while achieving absolutely nothing at all. Granted, Trump is a bit rough around the edges. When media personalities attack him, he bites back, harder. When they make up tall tales to beat him, he gets on Twitter and debunks the fake stories. They just can't handle it.

 Trump is POTUS. He has more Presidential achievements under his belt than any President since Washington. In the next term it will be even greater now the hoaxers have exposed themselves and had their cards marked. He will always be remembered as the President that got stuff done, despite an outpouring of hatred the likes mankind/peoplekind/personkind? has never seen before.

I hope you right and the world leaders will stop laughing at him and lamenting that US is no longer the leader of the free world

I seem recall a statement someone once made suggesting people stick to the facts.

If you are actually interested in the truth check Gallup.com, 

Gallup is generally regarded as unbiased.

The May Survey has him at 49% not the 42% you stated, this current approval rating is higher than Obama’s was at the same time in his presidency.

As your post asked “Why the necessity to twist?

The facts were lifted from the topic article. No twisting if you bother to read the article. You link your polling to Gallup dated 1/5. What about this latest 5/5 polling.

Since when was citing evidence necessary?  Have we forgotten already the lack of evidence in the "Russia" debacle?  Or, need I remind you the impeachment was pushed forward by the Dems with no evidence?

 

Trump has as much a right to speak his opinion as any Trump hating Democrat...thank you!

Trump is POTUS and should act and speak like one with decorum and not like a drunken in bar. He is a disgrace whenever he speak. He will never be presidential. 

If we don’t have to listen to his daily briefing of lies and confusing messaging then dismantling the task force is good. But what about federal coordination on medical procurements and policies. It’s a abdication of duties and responsibilities. Disappointing that Trump decide to wind down the task for in the middle of the crisis. Leadership is badly needed and missing in this crisis.

I wonder how long will it take for the tvf leftists to twist this into another anti trump rant..... ????????????????

Why the necessity to twist. Facts speak for itself. 
 

Overall, 42% of Americans said they approved of Trump's performance in office, and 53% said they disapproved. The president's popularity has remained relatively flat for more than a year.

Disengagement? Huh? Where do you see disengagement?

Maybe from this.

Donald Trump's message to Xi Jinping: the United States intends to disengage with your country to the greatest extent possible. 31 Oct 2018.

Hmmmm Globilization is an easier word to say than define. Trade is worldwide, that is for sure. The non western countries are totally involved but play the game a bit differently.  I doubt Trump can actually write off China debt, one trillion of treasury bonds I believe. If you default on your treasury bonds who will ever want to do business with you again. Where will Trump buy his MAGA hats! 

Many eastern countries make cheap goods for the Western market China, Bangladesh etc, etc. We owe our comfy lifestyle to them. Walmart and Amazon depend on them for their profit margins. It would take years for the US to replace cheap Chinese goods with goods from other countries, and the US will face horrendous inflation. Not going to make any prospective POTUS popular. 

Trump make US and China disengagement since he walk into the White House. When two economic super powers employed a take no prisoners tactics, the only outcome is a zero sum game and the geo economic fallout that will drive the world into an economic meltdown that could lead to violence. It’s matter of which will take the pain better. Xi is President for life while Trump will have to face his voters. That seem a very foolish strategy for Trump. He is only doing this for his domestic supporters who will not take kindly to him if the economy soured. Still think he is only postering and will not have the fortitude to stay the course to decouple from China.
