Don't be a hack and be blaming one political party or the other because that is just ridiculous. That serves no purpose except to be d******e. There is plenty of blame to go around if you want to be that way, but the t***h of the matter is that even the experts were fooled by this because China was lying through their teeth to the rest of the world about this v***s and gave us very bad information and we were not able to prepare for this the way we really needed to and therefore were basically caught with our pants down. Even Dr. F***i related that same information to us Saturday evening at his briefing that we underestimated the contagious aspects of this disease because of the bad information we received from China's under reporting of their number's to the rest of the world.

I'm a conservative's, conservative, but that's a bad idea. People have to survive. That includes everyone.

I honestly don't know what the democrats expect the president to do. He has been going on the advice of Doctor F***i and the others. They are the ones who have been telling him what to tell us to do as far as social distancing and so on. Yes, he has not shut down every state, however, don't the states governors have any responsibilities during this crisis? Does the president have to do everything and the governors are responsible for absolutely nothing at all? What is a governors job then? Is Trump responsible for every ventilator in every state? Is he responsible for every mask that is to be made, or are there other people in government that have the responsibility to make sure that these type of things are taken care of. Is the president responsible for picking up the phone and ordering every piece of protective gear that every man and women in the healthcare industry is in need of? Does that really fall under the presidents job description or are there other people that do that job that CNN & MSNBC should be criticizing instead of Trump.

What about the people on CNN & MSNBC that told us simple minded viewers that Trump was being a r****t and a xenophobe when he banned China from entering our country back on January 31 of this year. Where is the criticism of Nancy Pelosi when she told the people of San Francisco on February 25 to come out and celebrate with us and not to worry about the v***s, there is nothing to be concerned about. Where was the criticism of Bill DeBlasio for telling New Yorker's to go out to the movies and go be in public and enjoy the city of New York, don't worry about any v***s, its not gonna hurt anyone in New York. That was barely three weeks ago! I don't hear any criticism of Governor Cuomo calling for New Yorkers to not worry about any silly v***s, "New Yorker's are hardy people" he said and told people there was nothing to worry about. The media certainly isn't showing clips of themselves telling us simpletons how we shouldn't worry about what the fear mongers are telling us about this so called epidemic, which just a month ago many of them were down playing and calling no worse than the flu, but are now criticizing the president for not doing enough.

It must be awful easy to sit in a chair in front of a camera, day after day and call the President of the United States a dumb ass, but when you think about it, the president has not only the responsibility to keep us safe from the v***s, but he also has a responsibility to keep the economy going as well. I have not heard many reporters and pundits talking about this, just that Trump is not taking the v***s seriously enough. The president has to do a delicate balancing act between shutting down the country and re-opening it again in a timely fashion without doing it too quickly and risking starting another wave of infections, but he is absolutely correct when he says this country needs to get back to work again. Bad things are going to happen from this country being shut down, misery will follow this shutdown and it won't all be v***s related. Bad economies lead to bad other things, suicides, domestic abuse, poverty, disease, starvation, homelessness, so its not only a medical crisis we are in.

Donald Trump is being made out to be a fool by the media, but he is really a man of vision, and is and has been way ahead of the curve during this whole crisis right from the beginning, starting with the banning of all flights in and out of China on January 31, which he was roundly criticized for, then banning flights from Europe which he again was criticized for, only to be proven right for doing. He will again be proven right for looking ahead and preparing ahead of time to get the economy opened as soon as possible. Trump is a lot smarter than he is given credit for and when we come out the other side of this we will all be better off for having him as our president than we would have been than if Hillary had been leading our country during this crisis.

I don't understand you liberals. When Trump closed the country to China, Trump was a r****t and a xenophobe and he was over reacting, according to all the democrat politicians and CNN & MSNBC. Then when he closed off the country to Europe it was the same cries from the same people, Trump is over reacting!

When Trump said that the country needs to go back to work as soon as possible, he didn't say it would open up come hell or high water on Easter, like CNN & MSNBC would have you believe, they twisted his words. He said he would listen to the experts and come up with a plan, and it might involve opening up sections of the country at different times, however he ALWAYS said he would listen to the experts, something that the news media conveniently forgets to tell us in their quest to make the president look as bad as possible.

It is becoming more and more clear that the country or at least most of it will not be ready by Easter to be opened back up for business and the President I'm sure will do what's in the best interest of the health of the country. He is a very pragmatic person and the health and safety of the people of this country are first and foremost on his mind. We will be fine as a country, the president will get us through this process and when we are past this, we will be a stronger country than we ever were.

Its too early to put any reliability in polls. The campaign hasn't even began yet, no debates, nothing. Do you really think Biden can compete with Trump in a debate? All the polls showed Hillary blowing Trump out also, but it didn't happen either. Trump will win in an e*******l landslide and the popular v**e also.

Trump is doing everything in his power to get this under control and is doing as good of a job as anyone can reasonably expect.

He has to deal with the same people, at the same CDC, as Obama and Bush did before him. Trump is not a one man band, he does’t do every job himself. It’s not his fault we don’t have enough test kits and we wouldn’t have enough test kits if Obama or Biden or Bernie or anyone else was President right now. We were caught by surprise by this and we are playing catch up, however we will catch up. It has nothing to do with Trump being greedy or trying to give patents to his cronies.

To say Trump poo poo’d this on purpose so more people would get the v***s is an irresponsible thing to say.

Amen to that.

All you do is complain about how stupid Trump is, but I have never seen you say one thing about what you would do differently to make them better.

Learn how to spell.

Welcome to OPP Daredevil. I think you will find the mix of lefties and republicans about 50/50, but the lefties definitely have a handful of posters that are a bit over the top. I’m sure you’ve probably already figured that out by now. Enjoy your time here.

Not going to happen PR. Democrats don’t know the meaning of coming together or compromise. All they know is seek and destroy. Even when our very survival depends on coming together they can’t stop their childish antics for the overall good of the people, they have to keep up with the hatred and political destruction at the expense of the public for their own power. They have an agenda that will not be stopped by or for anything or anyone.

I firmly believe that the liberal media is working hand in hand with the democrats to create hysteria among the masses at grocery stores and put unnecessary blame on President Trump to get him v**ed out of office. I hear over and over again on CNN & MSNBC that this is what will finally get Trump v**ed out of office. They are acting giddy about it. It’s disgraceful to watch grown people reporting on a horrible health threat and watch them talk to each other all excited about how this could finally be the end for this president, sick.

They h**e Trump way more than they love this country. In fact I think there’s a lot of democrats that just outright h**e this country and what it stands for.

Doesn’t China have the biggest socialized medical system in the world? It didn’t seem to work out too well for them did it?

Go back to grade school.

That's the part I don't understand that people can't get through their heads is that the standards get lowered every time the government gets involved with running anything. How do people think things will get better just because the government gets involved? Hasn't history taught us anything?

Yeah it started with LBJ
