It's crap now. The only direction for him is up from this point. Unless we have a repeat performance from Corona. Then it probably won't matter.

So emotional. Its as if you expect the president to be popular. It also seems like you buy everything the media feeds you.

I'm not emotional at all. I'm amused!! And the last I checked, a free press is guaranteed in the Constitution as a check and verification of what ANY administration is up to. That's why the founders included it - but you know that, troll.

As for ANY President being popular - I think they have to earn trust and popularity ................ not use coercion and threats to make themselves look big. I think they have to be truthful to the American people - which again - video and audio tape PROVE beyond doubt Trump is NOT. Hell - even some at Fox are having to face the music now. It gets tougher & tougher when the LEMMINGS get closer and closer to the cliff.

What did Trump try to hide? The WHO was obviously downplaying this at China's behest. And what do you know, China was smart enough to stock up on medical supplies while telling everyone else they had it under control. And what WERE all those industrial incinerators for? And that sulfur dioxide plume? So many Chinese mysteries here.

What's humorous is how long we have known China was a cruel and oppressive nation, but somehow Trump is worse. Laughable if it wasn't so pitiful.

I'm surprised.
The WHO has been criticized for acting too slowly or not criticizing China enough.

Yet Trump did the same thing. That's what he's trying to hide.
In fact the WHO acted more responsibly than Trump did.

Here's how critical Trump was of China.
Jan. 14
The World Health Organization issues a statement about the first COVID-19 case outside of China, saying, “There is no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.”

Jan. 22
While at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump is asked whether he has a plan to contain the coronavirus in the U.S. Trump responds by saying that the U.S. does have a plan and that he thinks it’s “going to be handled very well.” He also said that he thinks China is in “very good shape.”

Jan. 24
"China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus.” "The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"

Jan. 30
Trump said China was "working very hard" to stop the coronavirus outbreak.

"And we are in great shape," he said. "China is not in great shape right now, unfortunately. But they're working very hard. We'll see what happens. But we're working very closely with China and other countries."
February 7

"Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!"

"I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the -- the problem, the virus. It's a -- it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."

February 10
"I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard."

February 13
"Well, you never know. I think they want to put the best face on it. So you know, I mean, if somebody -- if you were running it, you'd probably -- you wouldn't want to run out to the world and go crazy and start saying whatever it is because you don't want to create a panic," he said. "But, no, I think they've handled it professionally and I think they're extremely capable and I think President Xi is extremely capable and I hope that it's going to be resolved."

February 14
… while speaking to National Border Patrol Council members, Trump said China was "working very hard on this."

"It's a tremendous problem," he added. "But they're very capable and they'll -- they'll get to it."

February 18
"I think President Xi is working very hard," Trump said. "As you know, I spoke with him recently. He's working really hard. It's a tough problem. I think he's going to do -- look, I've seen them build hospitals in a short period of time. I really believe he wants to get that done, and he wants to get it done fast. Yes, I think he's doing it very professionally."

Asked if he trusted the data from China, the President declined to answer the question, instead, again, praising the Chinese President.

"Look, I know this: President Xi loves the people of China, he loves his country, and he's doing a very good job with a very, very tough situation," he said.

February 23
Speaking to reporters on February 23 on the White House South Lawn, Trump was asked if Xi should be doing anything differently in his handling of the crisis.

"No, I think President Xi is working very, very hard. I spoke to him. He's working very hard. I think he's doing a very good job. It's a big problem. But President Xi loves his country. He's working very hard to solve the problem and he will solve the problem. OK?"

February 29
“We’ve been in very close contact with China, including myself with President Xi. He very much wanted this to happen,” said Trump. “He wanted this to get out and finished and be done. He worked — he’s been working very, very hard, I can tell you that. And they’re making a lot of progress in China.”

That's what he's trying to hide.

And what was the media doing at the exact same time? Yep, downplaying Corona for the masses. Even Nancy made a point to keep "China Town" open for business (no, that couldn't be obvious pandering could it).

I realize that opposing Trump is important to a lot of people, but doing it JUST to oppose opens the whole issue up to interpretation errors due to a complete lack of critical thinking. It's as if Trump could advocate for oxygen and leftists would say he's racist toward helium. It's become THAT ridiculous.

So keep parroting the press with walls of text if it builds ego. There's no way I'm going to see you as a level headed thinker on this issue. When it comes to Trump, you have no reasoning ability that I can see. You're not even slightly inclined to entertain the remotest possibility that you might be even a little incorrect, about anything. We're not communicating much here.

I certainly don't suggest that Trump does no wrong, but I'm not going to lean into the wind and say everything he does is wrong. That's something a fanatic might do.

As much as I dislike the Clintons, Hillary dodging sniper fire was the right move!

All of this "I hate Trump" crap is gratuitous Lemming behavior. Try sticking to the issues above the personalities and everything will make more sense. Letting the media push emotional buttons is what causes all this misplaced aggression.

There's no way the far left could be confused with centrists. The Alt-Left maybe, after all, "Alt" does lean toward the opposite. Which is why Alt-Right is so confusing these days. It's being treated as "Right" when it's not.

Problem with bulls in China shops is they do an awful lot of damage that can't be repaired. And Trump is much worse than a strong slap in the face--kick in the nuts is more like it! Another four years and there'll be no shop left, and he'll be kicking in doors all over the neighborhood!

Coronavirus: Is the Media Over Hyping the Threat?
Coronavirus news
14 February 2020

The current outbreak has been much more prominent in media coverage than recent epidemics, including Ebola. For example, a Time Magazine study shows that there were 23 times more articles in English-language print news covering the coronavirus outbreak in its first month compared to the same time period for the Ebola epidemic in 2018.
Since reports first started circulating about the new mystery illness on January 12, and up until February 13 2020, I have tracked reporting in major English-language newspapers around the world, using the LexisNexis UK database. This includes almost 100 high-circulation newspapers from around the world, which have collectively published 9,387 stories about the outbreak. Of these, 1,066 articles mention “fear” or related words, including “afraid”. ~ 2

Feb. 7, 2020,

For weeks, the coronavirus has been covered by news outlets around the world. Television channels have been flooded with information about the outbreak that originated in China with live updates. The media has diligently reported on the number of deaths, infected patients as well as possible causes of the virus. ~ 3

Political Flavor Aid, pointless.

If this was a recipe for brownies Trump would be protested for using white flour instead of soy (Racist and anti-Chinese at the same time, SCORE!!!!!).

It's like listening to a radio station that only has a dozen CDs (but shitloads of commercials).

It seems like the purpose of this thread has been to take the heat off of China, you know, for poisoning the planet. And then assigning ALL of the blame for this on Trump.

This is why the hard left narrative fails so often, there's no basis in reality AND the "agenda" comes shining through every time.

What's it going to be like when Trump is elected again? <------ Bait
