How much of this is Trump's fault?

[Maranatha]

wow.

Have no fear, I didn't blame Obama for SARS or Ebola.

You just seem completely ignorant of the continuous misdirection, misinformation, and mishandling from the Trump admin on how this disease has spread. It this had been ebola we would all be in deep bovine feces at the moment. Completely inept, completely clueless. He's out there claiming testing is bad. He's holding rallies that will become super spreader events.


Nevermind, you can't hold the opinion you do if you've listened to or care about the science of it and the data.

There is only fault if some calamity has occurred, and it was Trump’s job to do something to mitigate the effects or prevent the calamity, and he failed to take appropriate and timely actions.

If he fails because he is incompetent, it is the voters fault for electing an incompetent POTUS.

Yeah, all those IDIOTS who voted for Trump, knowing full well there'd be this big virus from China three years later......

[Mountain Man]

No - because most of the actions that prevented that were taken in opposition to what Trump wanted to happen. And our return to crazy growth is almost 100% tied to his pressure on governors to reopen too soon. Indeed, even today Pence is our there trying to say things are actually rosy and Trump has been continuing to pretend testing is a 'bad' thing. It's just like a twilight zone episode where the leadership of the country is actively trying to get as many people sick as they can. The Trump admin is clueless, inept, and dangerous.

The POTUS is one of the most important jobs in the world, and the world is not short of problems. So he or she must be at least as able as any other world leader, and it is the voters responsibility to make sure of it. If American voters settle for poor performance, their empire, wealth and influence will fade away.

Good thing we didn't elect Hillary!

[Watermelon]

Good thing we didn't elect Hillary!

Hillary would’ve done a much better job and the US would still have credibility in the world stage.

[Cow Poke]

Yuh

[Whateverman]

Hillary would’ve done a much better job and the US would still have credibility in the world stage.

This is true.

Peewee Herman would have done a better job.

[whag]

Hillary would’ve done a much better job and the US would still have credibility in the world stage.

But the world stage is a cesspool of corruption.

[Watermelon]

But the world stage is a cesspool of corruption.

Then imagine how incompetent one must be to lose credibility there.

Then Joey Biden is your man, he has all of he right stuff and will be your savior over the bad orange man.

I think the buck stops with the leader. Trump seems to have done a very poor job on Covid and hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead and dying, who need not have, as a result.

I really wish people wouldn't be so cavalier with the numbers. Just checking this morning, deaths in the US are at 125,000 - 128,000. That's not "hundreds of thousands".
It's this kind of exaggeration that makes you guys look not so credible.

Graphic: Coronavirus deaths in the U.S., per day



2,467,147 - Confirmed cases in U.S.

125,547 - Deaths in U.S.

And we rarely see reports on recoveries.
