Keep believing, you might also still find some fellow staunch believers in the islands of the Phillipines from WW2, still praising the emperor.

While I wish it were not true, Americans are on the way to winning the race to the most killed by Covid-19 thanks to the incompetence and inaction of your hero, Trump*

This week we will likely surpass Italy in confirmed cases and unfortunately shortly in deaths.

If the leader had not claimed for months that he had it under control perhaps it would have been different.

Aren't you tired of winning yet?

*The president solely responsible for the death of the most Americans in history.

Dammit, Pete. Stop twisting everything. There was not a leader in the world that was ahead of this crisis. China? No. Europe? Not one. Russia? Putin just acknowledged it YESTERDAY when he postponed his rubberstamp election.
And it is the medical and scientific community that is laying out the response for a pandemic, not the leaders... Does he babble and go off course during the press briefings? Yes. Would he rather put the economy back in gear, instead of dealing with a pandemic? Yes. Wouldn't we all? I would rather be hearing from the VP, who is in charge of the panel assembled to put the battleplan together, along with hearing from those other members of that panel.
In conclusion, we are in this now, up to our collective waists, along with the rest of the world. I have gotten onboard with past Presidents I did not vote for in the past during times when the nation needed to bond together. Didn't always taste good. But I was on the right side of the battle. The American side. At some point, in my opinion, you have to back your President when it is an issue that threatens your nation. I hope everyone will back the American response instead of tearing down anyone and everyone until the man in the office is replaced...

and it’s ok to bash him
if he deserves it. but saying it’s his fault that someone drank fish tank cleaner? it’s blatant lying.

we don’t need to pucker up and kiss trumps arse. but is a speck of honesty and fairness that much to ask?

You ought to try that honesty thing out.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that H1N1 killed about 12,500 Americans between April 2009 and 2010, far fewer people than typically die each year from the flu.

Though the H1N1 virus had begun spreading in Mexico, the first case in the United States was detected on April 15, 2009, in a 10-year-old patient in California. Two days later, CDC laboratory testing confirmed a second infection in an 8-year-old also living in California. Within one week, the CDC had activated its Emergency Operations Center to respond to what it had identified as an emerging public health threat.

That was when only 20 cases of H1N1 — and no deaths — around the country had been confirmed.

Two days later, the administration made an initial funding request for H1N1 to Congress. Eventually $7.65 billion was allocated for a vaccine and other measures.

H1N1 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on June 11, 2009.

As a measure to aid in controlling future pandemics the Obama administration developed the PLAYBOOK FOR EARLY RESPONSE TO EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASE THREATS AND BIOLOGICAL INCIDENTS, it was completed in 2016.

Wonder what the next administration did with that?

Jeebus, Pete. When are you going to discuss like an adult? The last part (in bold) is like throwing chit at the wall to see what sticks in order to "prove" a point....
Just what department, under the Obama admin's oversight, developed this playbook??? CDC? HHS??? Connect some dots, for crying out loud... You throw out that statement expecting us to believe, what? That the playbook was left in the Oval office? And the Trump housekeepers just threw it out? Trump insults my intelligence enough. At least he is not signed on in here. Try to do better...
