In 3 years time when you mention the word Trump, people just can't stop laughing.

The biggest joke/failure in US history...

Republican Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNBC.
In response to a very general question regarding the Trump Presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two solid minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump Presidency has done to our great country:

“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.

"When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.

"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale.

"And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk."

Trump supporters must be confused out of their minds over the Dear Leader's constant flip-flopping.  "Don't wear a mask."  "Wear if you want."  "Need to wear."  Maybe Trump will decide to take down confederate statues next.  If he thinks it would help him get reelected, Trump will say anything.

As cases rises in states around the country. . . 

 

It used to be deaths they tried to terrify us with. Now it's cases. Clearly, they are running out of steam as the pandemic runs out of new victims.

 

Poor old Don. Sounds like the globalists have finally got him into the pen with the rest of the sheep. Well, he's always been a pragmatist. If you can't beat 'em. . .

The US is playing catch-up with Europe, thanks to all their silly lockdowns, so there are bound to be a few more deaths, mainly among the elderly and vulnerable who, as usual, are not getting the protection they deserve and constitute up to 75 percent of all fatalities.

 

The article says the deaths are  "corona-related", which is shorthand for the fact that they include people who died from a variety of other causes, from cancer to falling off motorbikes or shooting themselves in the head while having the virus in their bloodstream. 

 

The official stats are notoriously unreliable on both sides of the Pond and not least in the UK, where an inquiry into their fantastical nature is even now in progress.  Subtract care home deaths and those caused by lockdowns, and the "deadly" pandemic starts to look suspiciously like your average seasonal mild flu epidemic.

 

As for "pandemic will only get worse", not a jot of evidence is proffered to support this latest example of media fear-mongering. This is because the corporate-controlled media hack who wrote the headline knows it's utter tosh.

First you claim it is cases 'they're trying to frighten us with in stead of deaths', when shown your claim is not true you explain away 'only playing catch-up'.

 

Corona related means just that, and is in no way shorthand for 'lumping all who died with the virus as died from the virus'.

 

Your claim it looks just like the seasonal flu is, in your own words, utter tosh.

Time to take off that facemask. The hypoxia is obviously starting to kick in.

 

“We're asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance, wear a mask, get a mask. Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact, they'll have an effect and we need everything we can get,” he said.

 

Yet, he still didn't get it correct. CDC and every other credible health official has pleaded for mask wearing, EVEN IF YOU CAN PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING. The only possible exception is when you're in your own home.

What has happened to all expats from America who live in Thailand? They always contribute to forum discussions about Trump and his "alleged" policies and the "Left" etc. Why haven't we seen their thoughts on "flip-flopping" by their illustrious leader? 

You dont really think that all American expats that live in Thailand are Trump supporters do you? Ever consider a number of us have left for LOS **BECAUSE** Donald Trump is in power? ( not why I left but it is a very happy coincidence)

Famous conservative commentator S.E. Cupp points out the worthlessness of 45's new tactic. He can't be gone from office soon enough!

The Covid 19 transmission mechanism is still not fully understood.  In particular, it is not clear how long particles that host the virus can stay suspended in the air.  It is possible they are a risk for some time after the infected person leaves the area.  That would explain why the virus spreads rapidly in the US south and southwest during the summer when everyone escapes the heat by staying inside in air conditioned places. 

 

So, in public places wear the damn mask inside, even if the place isn't very crowded at the moment.

I have to admit I learned a lot about Americans after this Trumpism became the reality it is. Sad I never thought people like those that were enabling a person like him could become a reality. Often I would swear out loud. "I hope he does win so I can witness the outcome I knew would become reality. " I surely was shocked this could be what it has turned into. I hope that this hard earned lesson from those who decided not to vote now will  end up as the true Americans come November.

There will always be a large number of people who don't want to think, they want a loud decisive leader who promises simple answers, quick fixes and convenient scapegoats.  Look at how many expats from western democracies supported the 2014 coup.

Krataiboy,  The USA President, is Doctor Death, you may know him as Donald Trump.

  Maybe think of the 140 thousand dead so far and the next 140 thousand as one tenth of

the US population.    If the USA is lucky they will only lose this many people to the

corona virus, if not it will be a half a million people.    Lets see by November first

what the numbers will be.  Does anyone want to vote in a guy like Donald, again?

 Geezer

Your maths are off by an order of magnitude. That would be 1%.
