US's head cheerleader.

Donald Trump was warned at the end of January by one of his top White House advisers that coronavirus had the potential to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans and derail the US economy, unless tough action were taken immediately, new memos have revealed.

The memos were written by Trump’s economic adviser, Peter Navarro, and circulated via the National Security Council widely around the White House and federal agencies.

They show that even within the Trump administration alarm bells were ringing by late January, at a time when the president was consistently downplaying the threat of Covid-19.

According to figures from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, by Tuesday more than 368,000 cases of Covid-19 had been confirmed in the US and more than 11,000 people had died.

Shit like this happens when you act in accordance with your political agenda rather than on what commonsense would dictate.

He implemented a travel ban against China, against World Health Organisation recommendations, in the face of allegations of racism against China from the media.

Some of you are probably alive right now because of what he did.

That doesn't make him perfect, but that fact can't be ignored.

 

I watched this entire pressconference. MSM does not mention that he wants to investigate why African Americans have alot higher rates of infected than any other minorities, because they want to maintain the image of a racist President.

 

If black people are for some reason more at risk of being exposed to this virus and dying, as the President mentions during this same press conference, that should be covered by the news. The refusal to cover and share that information is irresponsible and dangerous.

Of course you pull the travel ban out of your hat, which actually was the ONLY good, albeit halfarsed of course, decision your dear leader made in the crisis to date DESPITE the experts HE EMPLOYS telling him what should be done.

 

When other countires acted it was still a "democratic hoax". Need I go on?

 

If he would have acted when he should have he could have halved the death toll and the recovery period, at least! But it would have taken someone with courage to do this.

 

It is amazing how quick you lot forget, doesn't even take a month.

Your, and not surprisingly, the media's selective focus on specific timeframes are clear indicators of playing Captain Hindsight.

 

You love to cover how Trump responded to the initial reports of the Corona virus when they first appeared, and specify those dates. You never specify the time of this memo appearing which allegedly warned Trump's administration that the situation would grow into a worldwide pandemic. But this memo came up around the same time he placed the travel ban on China. Despite the fact that he denies having read it, he still did it.

 

You are blaming a man for responding to the Corona-virus in exactly the same way everyone else initially did.

You are yelling "shame" at a man you already deem incompetent, because he does not hold the supernatural foresight able to predict the outcome of a new and mostly unknown virus spreading, that the leaders of the origin country initially lied about to everyone, including organisations focused on disease control.

 

The clips of him saying that nothing is going to happen, everything will be okay, can be reproduced for every single leader on the planet. Some are still going on. Even the WHO told people to go outside to restaurants and enjoy time with friends and family, for several days straight. And the US government funds the WHO, who in turn advise them and the President on how to respond to virus outbreaks.

 

But he did block China when it became apparent that this was in fact a global threat. Despite the media you listen to trying to paint him attempting to do it out of racism, and the WHO saying it was not necessary.

 

Using these clips just proves that the media are selective in order to paint him bad, which in turn misinforms you and many others to not trust anything the government says, despite the fact that they are some of the first to actually take preventive action on a large scale in order to prevent the virus spreading despite the huge impact on the economy.

If Trump did not care about people he would not stop travel or businesses. He would do what you had expected him to do to keep the economy going well and secure his re-election.

 

The fact that he did that one thing, means that the media are now contradicting themselves. And have to resolve to selectively focusing on what he said then(when no-one knew or took this seriously) and they have to hide what actions he really is taking in this moment(like saying loudly that black people are more affected by the virus and they are investigating it).

 

He was the one who said masks were missing. Media accused him of making up conspiracy theories.

Whoop de fucking doo, people had been stealing and stockpiling masks in the millions in order to take advantage of the pandemic and price gouge to sell it back to hospitals and medical workers who needs it.


If Trump comes out and says they found a cure tomorrow, are you going to not take it or give it to your family it out of political spite?

 

Because I'm not sure you would.

Perfect example of a cult Trumptard who at present makes up somewhere between 40% and 60% of the United States. Probably closer to 60% than 40%. Bigly tremendously sad.

It's like you are sitting on the tip of Stephen Colbert's dick, desperately awaiting whatever drops of saliva from his pandering lips, so they can lubricate your inevitable entry into a second-term Trump Presidency.

 

Here's my advice: Get Corona and die. It will reduce your carbon footprint(because Mother Earth is clearly more important than human life), and there's plenty of people exactly like you left to do your job.

 

OR

 

Find a new hobby. Maybe something actually useful to society. Go plant a tree, volunteer somewhere.

It would take way less effort than what you're doing here now and you would actually have a goal in life.

Whatever you choose to do, just promise to always wash your hands before and after jerking guys off.

 

Edit: changed "standing" to "sitting".

ROFL,

 

More importantly, rather than arguing whether this was racist or not, ask yourself: Did blocking people from China coming and doing NOTHING else in stop the pandemic? 

 

Hindsight you say? When your orange twat and his media allies called it a hoax the WHO already severely warned, gave clear guidelines and several countries were already in lockdown. There is NO EXCUSE for his actions.

 

Even for those that were in lockdown then we could have said yeah it was hard to forsee, when in fact it should not have been. 

 

The bojo and the orange twat are personally responsible for 1000s maybe 10000s of deaths.

Nothing else? He contacted the companies responsible for any drug that could be used to treat it.

Media: blames him for trying to monopolize them for USA, using unnamed source.(No surprise)

Company in question flat out denies that ever happened immediately.

 

He called out the lack of masks, media said he was making up conspiracies on the spot.

And again it turned out to be true.

 

The countries in lockdown had considerably higher infected early on. Asking unaffected countries to lockdown completely was considered by all, including WHO, unnecessary at the time.

 

WHO gave warnings, of course they did. It's their ONE JOB about any imaginable health risk to the world.

They still had press-conferences after and literally told people to go to public places.

 

Blocking China travel so early saved MILLIONS. So you can take that 1000s remark and suck it.

 

COVID-19 can spread from one person to three. That is exponential growth because it goes from 3 to 9 to 27 to 81 to 243 to 729 to 2187 to 6561 to 12683 to 59049 in ten steps! That's ten coughs or ten sneezes or ten handshakes. All of which could happen in a day. Symptoms may not even appear for 5-7 days. That is a long time people can infect others in crowded areas at an exponential rate.

 

Blocking travel from the main source of the virus which is the biggest contributor to the U.S economy by production and export was a suicide dive for Trump and he still fucking did it.

 

So I salute you Captain Hindsight. Without you, how would we know what we should have done, now that we know better?

LMFAO! Yeah, Trump saved ZILLIONS of lives. Just listen to him and Trumptards, they'll tell you. Have you been asleep the last 2 months of the Trump reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic or just watching Hannity and Trumptard State Media? Look at the timeline of his leadership failures. It's criminal incompetence on display from an unfit president. Sorry but it's just fact.

Wake the fuck up.

Sure, post another one of your trigger compilations. Did you even watch the whole thing? It clearly shows how he adapted to the severity of the situation as it got worse. Just like everyone else did. You're helping my argument.

You would do better just to plagiarize that image, because posting it as your own response contradicts everything in it.

You're copy pasting opinions, even someone elses thoughts, because you are not even able to make your own.

That's why my comments are usually longer and you guys complain about walls of text.

 

You can't handle information unless it's been edited and compounded into a short opinionated message.

But reality doesn't work like that. And you expose yourself to someone elses' biases by continuing to do so.

That "quote" was probably stolen by someone using it for an entire different purpose.

But you had seen it somewhere and thought: HEY THAT WOULD FIT AS A RESPONSE TO THAT ANNOYING GUY ON SPIKED.

 

Ugh. The lack of effort. The unwillingness to even try.

Is this what they teach you on twitter? I'm asking because the image is clearly cropped for that type of smart phone virtue signaling. It's has been copied and pasted so much the JPG has lost all its quality. Stolen so much that there's no telling who or what that person originally intended it for.

 

Free arguments in picture form referring to a "foundation of knowledge".

This clearly originates from a university education worth thousands of dollars.

Meh, just let them circle jerk their way deeper into communist beliefs, I don't think there is any saving them at this point. We can and have been running this joint on half it's cylinders for long enough anyways.

 

They'd rather be devisive and bitch than try to actually fix anything. I mean, they listen to late night talk show hosts more than those in charge that have experts all around them.

 

Community College Commies gonna Community College Commie.

The cheerleading can be replaced any time now with honesty and actual leadership. On March fucking 6th, Trump said

 

“Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is,” during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Moments later, Trump added that anybody who needs a test gets one.

“But as of right now and yesterday, anybody that needs a test — that’s the important thing — and the tests are all perfect, like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect, right? This was not as perfect as that, but pretty good”

 

His dip into his total lie about the memo, a redacted text which for some reason we've never actually seen, was idiotic obviously with Trump still calling it an actual transcript. Keeping it simple, my only question is this why the fuck is it APRIL 8TH, over a MONTH later and I know I can't get a test and most people can't. He just straight lies in his MAGA hat and he knows there are enough retards in his cult so it doesn't matter. What a complete joke.
