this orange spoiled rich kid loves to claim he is a self made , what ever he is..

And I will agree, he has some amazing failures all of his own making.. near impossible, but he did them..
No list but one example, one reference.. one,,, no. gotta stop or will have no end..


Donald Trump managed to destroy a sports franchise.

New Jersey Generals - Wikipedia

Almost from the moment Trump bought the Generals, he sought to use them as a vehicle to get an NFL team. To this end, he began advocating moving the USFL from a spring schedule to a fall schedule, directly opposite the NFL. His long-term plans called for moving the Generals across the Hudson River to New York, which had not had a team play within its borders since the Jets moved from Shea Stadium in Queens to the Meadowlands. He intended to have the renamed New York Generals play at Shea until the construction of a new 80,000-seat "Trump Stadium" in Manhattan.

In 1984, he convinced most of his fellow owners to move to a fall schedule in 1986. Trump contended that if the USFL were to hold its own against the NFL, it would eventually force a merger with the more established league—in which the owners of any USFL teams included in a merger would see their investment more than double.

However, the revamped Generals never played a down. The 1986 season was cancelled after the USFL won only a nominal $3 verdict in an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL; the league folded soon afterward.

This is one of Trump’s business failures.

Trump’s casinos also went bankrupt. It takes a special kind of fool to go broke in the gaming industry. Somehow, Trump did that, too.

Yes, Trump has failed. Many times.

None of that has anything to do with your topic: "Consider for a moment the person we have guiding us during this health crisis"

You forgot to mention that yes, since Trump is not a doctor or a scientist or capable of handling things himself, he has appointed Mike Pence to focus on the v***s....and Pence has appointed a task force in late January to "monitor, contain, and mitigate the spread of the v***s, while ensuring that the American people have the most accurate and up-to-date health and travel information." It is headed up by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, a former pharmaceutical executive who was appointed by Trump about two years ago, and is comprised of 11 other administration officials:

-National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien
-Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield
-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony F***i
-State Department official Stephen Biegun
-Acting DHS Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli
-Department of T***sportation official Joel Szabat
-Deputy National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger
-Adviser to the chief of staff Robert Blair
-Domestic Policy Council Director Joseph Grogan
-Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Coordination Christopher Liddell
-Office of Management and Budget official Derek Kan.

On Februrary 27 he added:

-Deborah Birx, US Global AIDS Coordinator and Special Representative for Global Health Policy;
-Stephen Mnuchin, Director of National Economic Council;
-Larry Kudlow, Secretary of the Treasury; and
-Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams.

emily, you must never watch trump near daily updates on the medical crisis.. that what passes for leading..

It is a clear boondoggle to have that piece of useless protoplasm in the position he is in..

Yes, this should meet the bar for insults, it is intended to do so..

A trump high light for himself and his never see the t***h cult is the unending train of insults from the orange non brain..

Oh, but one word of criticism toward trump and all you can do is have a hissy fit..

You may one day see the light, but it will be far later then when it could matter.. the day is near and he and his will be sitting in the court docket, no longer under the protection of sitting in the oval office..

dumb and dumber is not even close to the stilted grade school response struggling thru a prepared script..

I am close to agreeing with those who say that he is mentally ill..

"One word of criticism toward trump and all you can do is have a hissy fit." Really??

You call my listing of the person Trump appointed to help handle the v***s crisis (Pence) and all those experts Pence has appointed a "hissy fit?"

Oh, and my dear permafrost, you lie so easily! Re-read your post and tell me that it's just "one word" of criticism towards Trump!!

I wonder what all of you who put orange in front of wh**ever would say if people referred to Obama as the black blob, blackenfuhrer, his followers as black cultists, etc, etc, etc. Sounds pretty stupid doesn’t it.

And your entire life on OPP is one big insult to everyone...yes EVERYONE who disagrees with you! And you pepper your insults with off-the-topic insults of President Trump and everything he stands for. And then you add a ridiculous meme...about 98% of the time to your insulting TDS posts:

The meme-reliant troll:

The meme-reliant trolls of the world are a unique bunch. While they have a lot of opinions and aren't necessarily afraid to share them, they only feel comfortable trolling if they can hide their social commentary behind the lighthearted veil of a meme. You'll rarely catch this troll tweeting directly about politics, but they'll never pass up the opportunity to t***sform the latest Trump drama into a lawn boy meme.

Obama was a disgrace and divided this country. But I digress.

The ‘but they did it to Obama’ is not a valid defense.

I never referred to Obama by anything other than his name and I detested his r****m and politics. I also never did that to Trump and I don’t like his politics either.

I expect stupid from kevyn and am never disappointed. A Marine should know better.

Oh yeah....lots of OPPers figured you out long ago. I stand by my words: You cannot stand to be opposed. When someone has the temerity to actually express opposition to your views, you insult them.

Let me use the insults you just used in this post alone:

- "your stinking Trump support..."

- "...can not stand the trump tactics of h**e..."

- "...when it is returned the orange pig of filth where it originates"

- "to your mind no one should give tit for tat to the orange king of insults..."

- "...it may hurt his thin skin and via t***smission hurt your own petty and non thinking mind as well"

- "IN this mixed time of his own ineptness and the wrath of mother nature.. I don't give a damn"

- "do not insult the slim bag, it hurt the cult who worships him"

HA HA HA.... the only trump nuts are you fools in the orange cult.. you have no clue as he strips you of both wealth and rights and you are his best joke about getting your v**e before he tosses you aside..

Consider how stupid the idea is,,,, v**e for the one who removes heath care, removes consumer protection, has you pay for wall street sins, has you pay all interest charges on your credit card after you die.. limite your education to nothing more then cogs in a wheel.. has you pay for the luxury of the ultra rich while your children wonder if they can ever go to a school of higher learning..

Oh well, I will shut up you do not care.. nothing bothers you as long as your orange blimp is happy and coddled..

No go back and find out what the fish wrap media wants you to do if anyone ever starts pointing out what you really should worry ab out.. they have figured out what they want you to say and will be happy to couch you.

Nature often does wh**ever is necessary in order to make the most number of experts wrong.
Robert Preston: Crisis in the Red Zone.

The Story of the Deadliest Ebola Outbreak in History, and of the Outbreaks to Come.

Curiously, 2 months ago, before this c****av***s outbreak, I read this book on a whim. Saw it on a shelf at the library and was intrigued. It is a chiller and a thriller, a terrifying account of the insidious lethality of pathogenic v***ses.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An urgent wake-up call about the future of emerging v***ses and a gripping account of the doctors and scientists fighting to protect us, told through the story of the deadly 2013–2014 Ebola epidemic

“Crisis in the Red Zone reads like a thriller. That the story it tells is all true makes it all more terrifying.”—Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sixth Extinction

From the #1 bestselling author of The Hot Zone, now a National Geographic original miniseries . . .

This time, Ebola started with a two-year-old child who likely had contact with a wild creature and whose entire family quickly fell ill and died. The ensuing global drama activated health professionals in North America, Europe, and Africa in a desperate race against time to contain the v***l wildfire. By the end—as the v***s mutated into its deadliest form, and spread farther and faster than ever before—30,000 people would be infected, and the dead would be spread across eight countries on three continents.

In this taut and suspenseful medical drama, Richard Preston deeply chronicles the p******c, in which we saw for the first time the specter of Ebola jumping continents, crossing the Atlantic, and infecting people in America. Rich in characters and conflict—physical, emotional, and ethical—Crisis in the Red Zone is an immersion in one of the great public health calamities of our time.

Preston writes of doctors and nurses in the field putting their own lives on the line, of government bureaucrats and NGO administrators moving, often fitfully, to try to contain the outbreak, and of pharmaceutical companies racing to develop drugs to combat the v***s. He also explores the charged ethical dilemma over who should and did receive the rare doses of an experimental treatment when they became available at the peak of the disaster.

Crisis in the Red Zone makes clear that the outbreak of 2013–2014 is a harbinger of further, more severe outbreaks, and of emerging v***ses heretofore unimagined—in any country, on any continent. In our ever more interconnected world, with roads and towns cut deep into the jungles of equatorial Africa, v***ses both familiar and undiscovered are being unleashed into more densely populated areas than ever before.

The more we discover about the virosphere, the more we realize its deadly potential. Crisis in the Red Zone is an exquisitely timely book, a stark warning of v***l outbreaks to come.


The most ignorant fools on this planet are those who think they can hold one man accountable for the outbreak, spread, and consequences of a lethal v***s. Crisis in the Red Zone dispenses with that stupid notion.
