I repeat:

 

Epidemiologists around the world state that tens of thousands of unnecessary US deaths occurred due to the mismanagement of the virus by the 45 administration. I won't bother posting any links for two reasons:

 

1. People capable of critical thinking already know this.

2. 45 supporters don't care about facts & truth.

So you quote another's opinion as fact?  LOL.  Weak sauce, but that is your opinion so I support your right to voice it.  ????

45 recently tweeted to halt all Corona virus stimulus package discussions, then tweeted to walk this back.

 

Is it time for the 25th amendment NOW?!? He's raging on steroids and is displaying behavior even suspect for him. And with 7 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in self-isolation because 45 exposed them to the virus, the nation is in a precipitous level of attack.

Either you have zero understanding, of how the US works (as a Federation/Union), and what the President's job is and isn't, or you're being facetious on purpose.

 

He can't win either way. Does he intervene, then he#s the Fascist interfering with the States and their elected legislature & governors. Does he do nothing, then it's "why didn't he stop the riots" and "He's responsible for all deaths".

 

Maybe it's a combination of both...

 

In addition to what other posters commented, there's this - it's not about the President's job, it's about the man himself.

 

A President can choose how he addresses opposition, disagreements, political rivals and the constraints of sometimes having to cooperate with them in order to get things done.

 

Trump's stance, from the get go was confrontational, antagonistic, denigrating. That's not so much about politics, as reflecting his personal style and character.

 

Maybe not the best way to handle a national crisis.

Well, here's a little something for you to chew on:

Cornell study: 38 percent of COVID-19 misinformation fueled by Trump

A Cornell University study published Last week shows that President Donald Trump was the leading purveyor of misinformation during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The study analyzed 38 million articles published by traditional English-language news media from all over the world from Jan. 1 to May 26, 2020 using Cision Global Insights, and found 1.1 million instances of coronavirus misinformation. Of those 1.1 million articles, 37.9 percent included mentions of Trump in relation to misinformation, making him easily the leader, at least in the English-language media landscape.

No stopping relentless Trump spreading misinformation.

The COVID-19 superspreader in the Rose Garden that burst the White House bubble

Our View: Amid coronavirus, maskless Supreme Court nomination ceremony turned into a form of biological attack on the top echelons of U.S. government.

 

THE EDITORIAL BOARD |  USA TODAY

10 hours ago

 

When the history of America's failing response to the novel coronavirus is written, a chapter will certainly focus on the Rose Garden images of Sept. 26 at the White House.

 

There, amid a presidential celebration of a rushed nomination to the Supreme Court, America's leaders behaved as if over 200,000 American deaths from COVID-19 as of that day never happened. Air kisses and bear hugs flowed freely among the couple of hundred attendees, and a smaller group later inside the White House, with little evidence of mask wearing and none of social distancing

President Trump is absolutely right in telling us to not be afraid.  The virus has a high transmissibility rate but a low mortality rate.

Especially if you have immediate admission hospital, best doctors, chopper transportation, clearance for experimental drugs and at no cost except to taxpayers. This treatment would not have been available to any other person, not in the WH. Preferential treatment.

He can keep flapping his gum cause no one listening. Haven't you read that majority of Americans and around the world don't trust Trump nor think he is trustworthy.

The actual mortality rate won't be worked out for some time, probably years.  However Covid 19 has a mortality rate many times that of the flu.  It also causes long term problems for some, the exact number also won't be worked out for some time.

 

Bottom line:  Don't live in fear but respect the virus and take reasonable precautions to avoid it.  Wearing a mask and social distancing are reasonable precautions.
