It would be nice to see this president look and act like a real president for once, especially concerning a scary national health issue like this one. However, this is not to be the case and Trump will blame everything and anything he wants to on the Democrats because he's that stupid and so is his sizable and gullible base.

What's needed now more than ever is a leader who's honest and articulate; Trump's neither. Trump's genomically unable to act any differently. Leopards and spots. Corrupt spoiled class brat fathered by a corrupt man.
Trump can only blame. The notion of taking responsibility for your own actions being the basis of morality is never even acknowledged by the narcissistically impaired.
Recall, too, he was impeached.

Poor Donny feeling unloved again. Daddy Trump must have really been miserly with his affections. Hopefully his sycophants can keep his alternative reality alive. Poor kid.

It would be nice to see the Democrats look and act like real leaders for once instead of just criticizing the president and politicizing this scary national health issue.

Pfffft! Trump has taken strong action, hell, even Tulsi Gabbard admits that.
Recall, too, he was impeached.
Recall too, he was acquitted. Forever.

Dodge. Or are you admitting he's dishonest and inarticulate. How does anyone know what Trump's actually doing and whether he's 'taking strong action'. His history of lies makes him untrustworthy, as do the lies told by his admin and then parroted by their favored media outlets. I watched the Fox 'news' interview of Gabbard. The Fox talking face tried to manipulate Gabbard by asking her pointed questions, and to Gabbard's credit she wouldn't play along. Gabbard's main point - from my perspective - was that everyone needs to work together, not fight each other. The executive especially needs to start trying to unite, not further divide. The role of a leader, after all.

Wow, that top photo says it all - Donnie with "Q" pasted all over it. And we all know what "Q" means right?
*QAnon: is a far-right conspiracy theory detailing a supposed secret plot by an alleged "deep state" against U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters. The theory began with an October 2017 post on the anonymous imageboard 4chan by someone using the name Q, a presumably American individual that may have later grown to include multiple people, claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States. Prominent QAnon follower Liz Crokin, who in 2018 asserted that John F. Kennedy Jr. faked his death and is now Q. Media outlets have described QAnon as an "offshoot" of the widely discredited and debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory. *
These Trump supporters are flat out nuts....

Haven't seen the democrat candidates looking and acting like a real president. All they are doing is running around the country fixing the blame(s) on Trump. And they are wishing for a recession. After all, that's what got Obama elected.

Trump's White House proposed $2.5 billion in funding.
Chuck Schumer proposed $8.5 billion in funding.

Only Trump could politicize a virus outbreak. He must think the voters are well thick.
The fact of the matter is, he's tried to downplay the risk and has handled it badly by appointing Pence to muzzle the CDC.

Yes, Q is an omnipotent Star Trek character who has vast powers :D
I take it you don't believe there are evil people in positions of power who want to take down Trump and keep the U.S. in perpetual wars. Keep your head in the sand.

Yeah, the Democrats love to throw money at stuff, they think that's all you need to do. Wish they would have funded the wall that we need. It's getting built anyway.

Thoughts and prayers stockpiled and ready for deployment. Again.

I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall rather than the US government paying for bits of fence.

nah Obama got elected because of all the wars and the huge financial mess left over from the last Republican POTUS
wtfjapan

only about 200 miles of new wall have been built since Trump came in the rest was just replacing existing wall and fencing, 1300 miles to go, goodluck . lol

Donny has lost it , again!!!
The stock markets was the only thing going for him, now even thats gone.
Boy, November must seem so scary!!!!!

This is what happens when you delegitimize all expertise and politicize everything- when you actually need something to be taken seriously, it’s just impossible to be done. Trump has no legitimacy to deal with this virus in a competent way. I hope that there are enough people still left somewhere in the government and private sector who are able to rationally manage this situation.

That's the spirit, ulysses! Keep cheering for the collapse of the stock market and the economy!

You're confusing Trump with the Democrats. He's just defending himself against their outrageous accusations.
