There was an advert featured on US tv that shows all of Trumps Covid 19 misinformation. Nothing strange in that you may say except it was made and paid for my a division of the Republican party. Another advert called "Fox and Fiends" bought and made for by another Republican party offshoot showing all the misinformation they talked about. The reason is the Republican Party is trying to distance themselves from this Covid 19 mismanagement.

The former chief of the Republican Party presidential campaign was interviewed and said some interesting statements. One year ago the Republicans thought after 2020 the Senate could be 60 40 in their favour. Six months ago they were hoping for 50 50 with a Republican VP having the deciding vote. Today they say they will lose a minimum 4 seats for sure. As he says for the next 4 years it will be a Democratic House, Senate and President. He mentions this will drag the Republican Party into the wilderness,  

The sad part is the Democrats will choose a candidate whose only gift is the ability to defeat Trump.

Still if Biden gets the nod he may choose AOC as his VP.  

I seriously doubt it. She is popular. And very cute. But not VP material. I think Klobuchar is most likely. A formidable ticket.

It barely matters. Covid already beat Trump in the first round. His opponent will be Biden. And he will make a good president. Some decency and dignity may even return to the US. I will take minor senility and major experience, over huuuuge instability and danger any day.

None of what you posted helps your case. I have simply pointed out that the assertion many leftists have made, that Trump called the virus a hoax, is FALSE. And when leftist organizations don't jump at the chance to blame Trump, they're usually right. So let's stay on track here.

 

Trump did NOT say the virus is a hoax. True or false?

 

PS: Do you really think there are "thousands" reading this board? If you're that concerned about it, it's you who has your own photo as your avatar. Do you really think a big chunk of these "thousands" don't read your posts and think... well, things that aren't so complimentary? I would encourage you to reconsider this entire line of trolling.

Trump DID say the virus was a democratic hoax. That is on video. End of story. Your honor, I rest my case. 

Your incessant defense of the indefensible must be exhausting. 

I would choose Thailand over most places in the world at this point. Especially ground zero, NYC. That would be the last place in the world I would want to be at this time. 

If this were going to blow up here, it would have happened long ago. Chinese were mobbing this place two months ago. Barely 100 new cases a day. Within a couple of weeks this is likely to level off here, in my opinion. The heat is a real ally. Just look at the numbers in every tropical country. Brazil is the only one with more than 10,000 cases and they are huge with over 200 million people. 

This is not the Zombie apocalypse!

No notice. Just leave. Gone baby gone. When this thing is over, safe to expect tourism to never recover from this. 

It is the inconsistency of the policies and lack of notice that is the real issue here. Extremely disrespectful behavior toward foreigners. 

Definitely no kissing of strangers at this time. What a drag! Corona blows. 

1. Covid is NOT spreading like wildfire. The panic must stop. 100 new infections a day is a mere cheek pimple. 

2. The army never had trust. In the past 6 years they have displayed a stunning level of incompetence, total disregard for the common Thai and a disdain for all foreigners, other than their Chinese favorites. Immigration has been borderline abusive. While the virus was raging in Wuhan they were still allowing Chinese and Europeans to enter Thailand and they shut the country to tourism way too late. 

And they consistently hired from the bottom of the barrel. Pipat for tourism. Anutin for health minister. Really? They were the best ones available?

I guess the real question is, what has this administration done to earn trust?

He did't literally call covid19 a hoax. But his words and inaction reveal that he didn't believe it was a threat. In other words a distinction without a difference. 

He literally called the democratic reaction to Covid a hoax. That cannot be denied. He was caught with his pants down. He was outed by Covid. He was unmasked by a disease after all of his previous scandals could not do so. Now, alot more people know who he really is. 

Sorry guys, but you deserve all the flak we could possibly dish out to you. You have spent years abusing us, directing racist and xenophobic venom our way, putting inane roadblocks in our way when it comes to the renewal of a retirement or marriage visa, and now you are asking us for tolerance and understanding? Sorry. Not gonna happen. You should be a peak efficiency right now, since there is barely anyone coming, or going out of the country, and barely any tourists here. So, what I think I am hearing is just more excuses for poor service, and a total ability to take responsibility for your actions, or inactions. Man up. Do your jobs. Stop moaning. You deserve the criticism. If you cannot handle it get another job. IF YOU CAN find one! You have no sympathy from the downtrodden ex-pats, that is for sure. 

At this time of economic shutdown, when tens of millions are without an income, you should be grateful you even have a job and a salary. Accept it. Be grateful. Be nicer. Get some humility. Your job is alot more than many of us, and most of the nation has.  

And this is an opportunity for you to improve. Think you guys can do that? More services should be available online anyway. You are asking us to stay home after all.

Get your act together! Be responsible. Waive all extension requirements, for now, and waive all 90 day reporting. This is a time of crisis, right?

"Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax."

 

Checkmate.

Please stop. Can't you see how much you are embarrassing yourself in front of thousands? I know how hard it must be to defend this guy. But enough is enough. Why can't some of his supporters just admit that much of what he says is inane, inaccurate, misleading, and just big, fat lies?  Here are quotes from your own source. He has been misleading the American public since day one.

On Jan. 22, asked by a CNBC reporter whether there were “worries about a pandemic,” the president replied: “No, not at all. We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

On Feb. 26, at a White House news conference, commenting on the country’s first reported cases: “We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”

On Feb. 27, at a White House meeting: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”

As previously stated, the assertion that Trump said the virus was a hoax has been debunked. If that is your perception of the video, know that even leftist web sites like WaPo and Snopes have abandoned you.

My heart truly goes out to you. I hope you are able to recover soon.

I'm getting a bit tired of the Trump admirers who use "Trump Hater" as a label. Fact is, his initial downplaying of coronavirus is going to cost a lot of American lives and American jobs. COVID-19 cases in the USA are double that of any other country. While one can argue China is concealing the real number of infections, it's still a damning statistic.

Harry Truman kept a sign in his office saying the buck stops here. About time Trump was presented with one.

 

Ignore it. A parrot could come up with more creative lines. It is not in Trump's nature to take responsibility for problems he has precipitated. He has blown this in a historic manner. And continues to change his advice daily. 

Trump is the last man in the world you want, when a crisis emerges, and you need a real man to demonstrate real leadership. 

Fortunately, Covid already beat him in the election. All Biden has to do is show up.

You say I am incorrect "again". Specifically, what does your post debunk as to what I posted? Additionally, since you said again, which was the other time I was incorrect?

 

So far, all I see is your false claim that Trump said the virus was a hoax- which I gladly pointed out for you.

Deny it all you want. I included an attachment of a video where Trump claimed this was a democratic hoax. If you watched him utter those words and are still asking me to prove this for you, there is not much I can do or say. You believe what you want to believe. 

Sorry guys, but you deserve all the flak we could possibly dish out to you.
