See the post I reacted to, and see Trump's statements regarding violence against protesters and media at his rallies.

I did read  the opinion of one poster, how does that possibly classify as typical behavior of “The Trumpers”

Does the behavior of one anti-Trump poster who called for beating President Trump with a bat, or the American poster calling for violence against President Trump during his UK trip make all  Trump haters violent?

Your statement was “that way of thinking is typical for Trumpers” you are merely backtracking now and failed to address any of my questions regarding your original quoted post.

One more question, would you seriously let the opinions of a proven bigot alter your decisions or hold them in any regard?

That way of thinking is typical for the Trumpers. And yes, violence is not something they want to avoid.

Cambridge.org  defines bigotry as “the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life:”

Do you agree in a normal functioning society bigots are normally considered to be ignorant?

Do you think the stereotyping of a group of people is a form of bigotry?

Do you have credible evidence supporting your statement “ That way of thinking is typical for The Trumpers” and while you are backing up your statement how can you possibly have knowledge that “violence is not something they want to avoid”

Trump has listed the criteria thst states need before they can open.

 

Not 1 state has reached that criteria yet 43 will open and trump agrees with it.

 

The embodiment of stupidity.

We neither need nor desire your permission or approval to do anything.

Your many unfactual reference free posts should be taken into consideration when evaluating your editorial opinion prices, and then we can quickly disregard them and continue with our lives somewhat saddened we did not win your approval however,  we will continue to open our states, let people begin to earn a living again and start rebuilding our economy.

No one is preventing you and the others with your mindset from staying locked in your rooms you, why don’t you stay locked down for the next two years?

No, they want trump to get out of the way and let the experts do their job. Let the experts that he appointed conduct the briefings, just go play golf.

 

Just what did his virus committee do.

 

nice pic of trump in the op, glad he is wearing protective glasses to shield others from the virus.

 

But thats really trump. He only thinks of himself. Protective glasses to protect himself. But he wont wear a protective mask to protect others from him.

The President and the Chairman of his highly successful corona task force VP Pence have already explained they are tested often and they are not carrying the virus.However i  USA add  I was amused with Governor Cumo holding a press conference announcing he wants people arrested for not wearing masks. He was sitting at a crowded conference table, and yes you guessed it No Masks, and even more ironic during the same time period his moron brother positively diagnosed with the virus and supposedly in quarantine ( broadcasting his show from his basement and calling people dumb for going to a park) was involved in a recorded argument walking around in the Hamptons with no mask, and he absolutely had knowledge he was infected.The hypocrisy of the left knows no limits

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.

- 05/01/20 02:52 PM EDT 

That is the date of Gallup’s latest poll May 1 , not Jan 1. Showing Trumps higher than you stated approval ratings. You actually have to go to Gallup’s site to see that President Trumps approval ratings are higher than Obama’s were at the same time in his presidency and you might recall he won the following election by a landslide. Sad but true.

Apparently instead of asking about what I am reading you should be more concerned about HOW you are reading.

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.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/495695-trump-hits-49-percent-approval-rate-in-gallup-poll

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?

No. He ignored the warnings, which first came to him in November 2019. Eighteen times warnings were put into the PDB. He ignored them all.  He also dismantled the Pandemic Response Team that had been set up during the Obama Administration, which was used so successfully to ringfence the Ebola outbreak.

 

His supposed "China Ban" had so many loopholes it still allowed tens of thousands of Chinese into the US. Also, he was warned as early as January that the virus had spread to Europe and was making its way to Europe through a route other than China.

 

He failed to use the War Powers Act to instruct the development of tests and to begin building ventilators.

 

He claimed, falsely, that everyone repatriated from China was being tested. They were not. Some spread the virus. He claimed anyone who wanted to get a test could get one. They could not. He made all sorts of spurious claims about how many tests could be carried out daily, when in fact the US even today, in May, has tested fewer people than he claims he is doing every day.

 

He pushed a dangerous anti-malaria drug as a cure, when all the scientific evidence said otherwise.

 

He suggested injection or consumption of bleach and disinfectants, causing Poison Control Lines to ring off the hook, then he claimed he was 'being sarcastic' (a lie), and making matters even worse because that excuse says he's okay with 'making jokes' about an affliction that is killing tens of thousands of Americans.

 

He is demanding pork and other meat producers go back to work, despite the fact the employees cannot get tested and are afraid, while he will not allow anyone near him who hasn't been repeatedly tested.

 

He ignored warnings from Anthony Fauci.

 

He ignored warning from Peter Navarro.

 

He ignored repeated warnings from CIA, which were based on both HUMINT and SIGINT sources, plus analysis by medical experts within the agency (yes, the agency has doctors and health experts).

 

His inaction, his false statements, his bungling of testing, his use of needed PPE and medical equipment as bait to individual US States, his absurdities that demonstrate his total lack of understanding of any science, his dismantling of a comprehensive Pandemic Response Apparatus, his slashed funding in 2017 onward for CDC, all contributed to unnecessary deaths in the US.

 

And now, incapable of accepting any responsibility, he points fingers at Dr Fauci, China, Obama, CNN, anybody other than the man in the mirror.

Nice response with a few good debatable arguments, although the early warnings are somewhat questionable, and the conflicting information from the WHO and China make determining when this should have been panic mode hard to determine.

As far as the loopholes in the travel ban that does not mean he did not save numerous lives with what he did. As you are aware many of the people who were allowed to enter the country were American citizens returning from China. Considering all the Democrats crying with the restrictions as they were, I can imagine the noise if he was denying American citizens reentry.

As far as the dismantling of the Pandemic Response Team please refer to Reuter’s fact check, March 26”  Partly False claim: Trump fired entire pandemic response team in 2018. You are correct it was an essential part of stopping the Ebola outbreak, however it was just absorbed into the NSC.

on March 14 John Bolton described the changes made as streamlining.

Boltons final words in the article “The angry left just can’t stop attacking, even in a crisis”

i appreciate your constructive response to my post, you have not really changed my opinion but you did present some nice opposing points of view.

Trump received a crisis and failed so far his inept response has cost many thousands of lives it does make sense to diversify the supply chain that’s been a topic of discussion for decades it does not make sense to vilify a foreign nation in time of crisis it should be a time of cooperation and unity to defeat a common enemy but trump needs a deflection so all bets are off 

President Trumps early travel restrictions saved countless lives and his response has been stellar.

President Trump’s does not need to deflect on this, it is a strong point for the Republicans and a the behavior of the Democrats is what will lead to their losing the House to as more of their shortcomings are exposed.

Holding a foreign country accountable for their actions is to be commended not criticized, and since you have already stated unity and cooperation are what is needed perhaps you should be supporting the duly elected President of your country, instead of pandering to the country that cause this global crisis.

Sure health care women’s rights to reproductive control 2 ond amendment immigration the environmental issues the 1 amendment failure to protect our constitution failure to protect our elections from foreign interference that’s just a start not to mention the worst unemployment since the Great Depression how many dead now probably 70,000 by morning because donald lacked the courage to tackle carona head on there’s a few issues for ya

The fact that you think President Trump needs to deflect or distract anything to divert attention from your list of concerns is pretty amusing. Those are all losing items for the out of touch Democrats, and I think the majority of Americans will side with President Trump on most of them.

as far as you placing any blame on President Trump for this virus shows that your hate has replaced any logic you may have once possessed. The virus, is on China, a d any delay in reacting is on the misinformation from China and the WHO. President Trump’s travel ban on the Chinese was a lifesaver and one month after he implemented it Pelosi was in San Francisco’s Chinatown telling people to come on down and join the party. Biden called Trump a racist for implementing it. I think the Democrats delaying the stimulus package and then filling it with pork will come out to haunt them.

All measurements of unemployment where at historically low levels before the Virus, and it is the Democrats who are now prolonging the lockdowns and keeping people from their sources of employment. President Trump will have a field day discussing those points and only a fool or a traitor would be laying the unemployment on President Trump instead of China.

So it is my opinion, President Trump would love to be talking about those issues, while adding the illegal immigration problem along with the associated crime, and the continuing efforts of the Democrats to confiscate our guns. 

President Trump is not hiding from or distracting from anything, especially the list you provided

Trump was knocked out in the first round by Covid. A TKO on impact. Gone, baby gone. Get ready to say President Joe. He will make a far better president. Think of how refreshing it will be to actually have a president capable of negotiation. And one who is willing to embrace our allies. And one who does not tweet like a 13 year old. And one who does not have such a bizarre relationship with "truth". And one who is willing to hire competent people, and not throw them under the bus the first time they disagree with him. One who has self esteem, and is comfortable within his own skin. Big changes. 

Your post was very entertaining and made great reading, my only suggestions to improve it so it can be taken in proper context is your first sentence should have been once upon a time, and your closing sentence should have been they lived happily ever after.

You have a great imagination and I wish you well!
