By what conceivable logic would you assume that the mayor of New York City was kept in the dark about a pandemic?

ANSWER: the logic which is based on the notion that everything bad is 100% Trumps fault.

Think for a minute about the assumptions you are making. Trump should have known in January that we needed a lockdown, but the speaker of the house and the mayor of NYC didn't know that in late February? That's plausible to you?

National security adviser Robert O'Brien has accused the World Health Organization of being "a bit of a propaganda tool for the Chinese," and said the White House is investigating whether money from China influenced the WHO's judgments during the coronavirus crisis.

O'Brien said China "controls" the WHO, and said the administration's investigation is intended to uncover how.


of course lets keep the blame away from Trump .. seems once again he is only responsible for the Positive things....

And you fail to note Trump's long history of failing to inform anyone (or exclude them from info)who doesn't agree with him politically on things that matter.

Not sure what Trump has to do with what Pelosi and Diblasio said in late February?

as horribly as Cuomo, DiBlasio and Pelosi have treated Trump he's always been there for them when they needed him....heard the Governor of California thanking and praising Trump recently as well...

it's too bad some people insist on constantly being divisive and the media acts only as instigators and bomb throwers....pretty messed up really

Never been anything like it.

Make no mistake, Trump brings a lot of the negative comments upon himself with his tweets and passing the buck. But that being said, the liberals and the media have completely blown a gasket. They hate his guts and are fanatically dedicated to destroying him, even if it means pretending some of his policies haven't done a ton of good. They ignore everything positive, and never stop shrieking about the negative.

There are reasons Don the Con is asked tough questions.


Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Obviously that's true, it's totally fair that his behavior and actions are discussed.

But how unreasonable would it be to ask for a speck of consistency, accuracy, fairness in the coverage? "Fair" to me, means when he screws up he gets held accountable, and when he does something well he gets some credit. How many times have you mentioned the benefits of the economy for his first 3 years? Or, and sorry to bring up a sore subject for you, saying he's evil for putting kids in cages when Obama started the practice and he gets a pass?

Governors Cuomo and Newsom have said a lot of positive things about Trump regarding the virus. Is that ever covered?
