Trump Knew Virus Was Deadly as He Misled Americans

[exGOPer]

So much for Trump not wanting to incite a panic.

Trump’s campaign solicited donations with a fear-mongering text warning of violent attacks by anti-fascist activists under a Joe Biden presidency: “ANTIFA ALERT: They’ll attack your homes if Joe’s elected.”

Here's an honest question.

Lets go back in time, say early February (the first U.S. case was Jan. 21).

What would have happened had Trump ordered masks, social distancing, restaurants/airplanes/gyms/etc at 50% capacity.... and because of his actions (with the luxury of hindsight)... no one died? Or very few did. We would have never known just how bad it could have become.

Had he taken those actions, what would the court of public opinion leveled on him? I mean Biden called him xenophobic because he banned China. Imagine what would have happened if he shut everything down from the start. He would have been seen as a nut. Right?

We didn't have a crystal ball. As far as we knew, it was in fact similiar to the flu. But even if he said "people are dying in China and I have to do this".... he would have been skewered by "both sides".

In a way, he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't. Its easy to look back with 100% clarity and level judgement as a Monday morning QB.

That said... "not wanting to incite a panic".... it sure didn't stop him with regards to the infamous caravans. So there's that.

But still.... had he shut everything down and nipped it in the bud early on, we'd have never known and I'm 100% sure the Dems would have had a field day calling him a germaphobe that ruined the economy for the small business owners and the average working person.

....just sayin'. Am I wrong here?

he would have been hailed as one of the greatest presidents in the last 40 years.

the cult will follow him everywhere so they would be in favor of lockdowns. They are only opposed because he opposed them.

the rest of the country would see our death rate vs the worlds and it would be hard to argue he was in-effective.

further if he had shut everything down, economic relief would have been less haphazardly implemented.

he would have shown real leadership - like Bush 2 did on the evening of 911. He would have had an approval rating of 70percent. Democrats would attack him but nothing would stick.

I said some things about Joe and his handlers.

You posted about Trump and did not touch Joe with a ten foot pole.

Not a problem. I understand why you would do that.

giggle.

Uh I put Joe and Trump in the same campe...you want to differentiate them not me...but Trump is the President so only his record can be seen clearly.

I dont know who Joe's team will be yet but when Trump came into office he sucked his team's dick and you all though he had some magic vision or leadership.

But your attempt to obfuscate the point is irrelevant..

For COVID I would trust Joe to step aside and let his medical appointed team task force derive policy and plans for dealing with a pandemic rather than Trump bragging he knows more than everyone.

Only psycho's believe Trump misled Americans.

Oh, you can definitely trust that Joe will be stepping aside and others will be taking charge.

Just like everything else, including his campaign.

Joe would have to step aside for everything. He would just be a puppet standing up there. You know, kind of like he already is. ha ha

Trump knew the snowflakes would panic like they did when Hillary lost the election in 2016.

He didn't want to give them permanent PTSD.

Do one knew what was going on with the virus. The medical community really let everyone down. The still don't seem to know what is up.

Don't wear masks. Wear Masks. Wear gloves. Don't wear gloves. Stay inside. Go outside.

When Trump went to close the border with China he was called a Xenophob.

Blasio, Mayor of NY, was telling people to come to New York City. Said people with virus could blow on your soup and you would still be OK.

If anyone thinks Joe Biden would have done better just look at California, Oregon, Washington, Kenosha, Minnesota. If these are examples of leadership God Help US All.
