You have to see it in relation

So are you suggesting that it's all normal and we should forget personal distancing, hand washing and masks/shields, getting tested to see if you have the actual virus, and don't bother with treatments, all just a waste of time?

I think he was correct in not wanting to create panic. But he should have prepared both the people and health authorities, and he failed there.

All he does is incite panic. His entire campaign is based on it. Surely you don't buy this load of ???????

Searing honesty from man of peace and Nobel nominee Trump. He has done a magnificent job handling the virus. I don't care what the revisionists say, I remember him taking severe steps to limit travel and being bashed by the usual quarters with the usual lame insults. To my mind control fell apart when the leftist mobs hit the street in democrat run states. Hard to blame Trump for this, but maybe another party could rightfully take the blame?

 Looking forward to Trump's next moves in the corona fight. I hope he unveils a vaccine just before Nov 3rd. 

The only bit of truth I took from this post were the words "My Mind Control". Oh...I am also so glad Trump is hard at work in the lab coming up with a way of being able to inject bleach by Nov 3rd since Trump himself is going to be the one that "unveils" the vaccine. You dont even see how shamless and desperate you are (or maybe you actually do) that your target is "just before Nov 3rd" and not "as soon possible for a safe and effective vaccine to be ready to protect the world".

Surely you don't disagree with my statement that not creating panic is a good thing?

Of course I don't disagree with YOUR stating it, but the painfully obvious point is that Trump saying it is just another instance of him whitewashing a turd. He's a "lier" (his spelling, not mine). Again telling yet another lie to cover up, slime and slither his way out of another one. Surely you don't buy it???

This is nothing short of the greatest betrayal of the country in US history.

 

That guy stood in front of his base calling it a "Democratic Hoax" when he knew the reality of it full well. How many tens of thousands died because of his willful inaction ? Knowing full well the virus is airborne, he dissed mask wearing and instead promoted bleach, disinfectant, and a useless drug.

 

As for 'not wanting to cause panic', panic is what he thrives on. Besides, advising proper caution and being honest with adults is responsible, not panic-inducing. Nobody will buy that drivel, except perhaps his base.

 

The fact that he spoke of these things ON TAPE, in 18 separate interviews with Woodward suggests an abject stupidity that boggles the mind. He seems to have no control over his impulses, and such a degree of insecurity that he has to boast of all the things he knows, such as the new nuke weapon program (begun under Obama) for which he is trying to take credit as well as initiating a news arms race, as neither Xi nor Putin are going to sit still now that they know.

 

He is a threat to the entire planet, a disgrace, an embarrassment and unfit for anything beyond being on Social Security Disability Insurance.

 

What he has wrought upon the country is simply unfathomable.

Three or 4 decades ago many big companies / multinationals tried to recruit the new uni graduates with the highest GPA (grade point average).

 

Some still do but many realized highest GPA is not a guarantee of high performance on the job, many of these companies now use a completely different recruitment approach often called assessment centers.

1) ANYBODY can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Hitler was once nominated. Nomination is meaningless.

 

2) A consortium of university medical departments (Northwestern, Harvard, Northeastern and Rutgers analyzed data and found that protests caused much less Covid spread than such things as 45's rallies, Sturgis, etc. Apparently the fact most of the peaceful protesters wore masks had an extremely positive effect.

One of the greatest Presidents ever , precisely because he does not care what those outside the United States of America think of him. He is not in a global popularity contest.

If you are "not sure" that it reaches the "legal threshold" then it cannot be "certainly" criminal negligence by your own words. The rest of your post likewise does not meet the non-nonsense speech threshold which demands coherence and logic of thought as in how A relates to B.

Most people inside the United States believe Trump is the worst President ever.  What the heck are you talking about?

Some old trump talking points, FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. e.g. exactly which current Dems policy articulates Open Borders and outsourcing jobs to China?

 

Late term abortions - another false claim

 

https://www.statesman.com/news/20200227/fact-check-do-democrats-support-abortion-up-until-and-after-birth

Not a false claim. The law is what they have argued for is the only reason that there can be another side to the issue. When a Governor is on live television describing his view on how a Doctor would ethically handle a live birth abortion - that is not imagination. As for outsourcing of jobs to China, if this were not the case, then you would not have had a decline in manufacturing in the USA, as well as Obama quoted arguing that because we have a new world - manufacturing jobs would NOT be coming back to the USA. Propagandists are propagandists, the problem with them is that it is easy to see right through them as they attack the obvious with the opaque and the exceptions to the common case. The Austin American Statesman,I used to work there. Quite a liberal paper and wouldn't put much credence in a Democrat fact check. I almost forgot open borders, again this is a Democrat policy. A call to decriminalize the border, as well as complete agitation against the building of the wall, as well as supporting with money the caravans that were moving North. Something which Mexico has stopped with Federal troops on their side. Fear? yes I fear these and many other Democrat policies greatly - as should all Americans.

Yet support a candidate that has suffered from mental deficiencies since birth.

Yet another response comment which is nothing more then an insult. The President of the United States does not suffer from any mental deficiencies other then perhaps a large ego if that is classified as a deficiency. He has had a remarkable life prior to being President - seems to be loved by all of his immediate family - and has done quite well as President of the USA. How does that stack up with your own accomplishments?

No problem, but as per the last election I do not believe trump will receive the majority of votes, maybe can scrape though owing to the Electoral College process - hopefully not.
