Giving me bad karma for that, is anti-religious (you're passing judgement) I am just a man. Of no significance. Who found religion to be full of lies, and wrong doing, conflicted teachings I understand microwave communications. I do not stand for the NWO, it sucks. |

Quoting: Tyrone Slothrop You mean like this? Jan. 22 – “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control.” Jan. 24 – “It will all work out well.” Jan. 30 – “We have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at the moment – five. And those people are all recuperating successfully.” Feb. 10 – “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.” Feb. 19 – “I think the numbers are getting progressively better as we go.” Feb. 20 – “…within a couple of days, is going to be down to close to zero.” Feb. 22 – “We have it very much under control in this country.” Feb. 25 – “…the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus… They tried the impeachment hoax … and this is their new hoax.” Feb. 26 – “We’re going down, not up.” Feb. 27 – “It’s going to disappear. One day like a miracle – it will disappear.” Feb. 29 – “Everything is really under control.” (The vaccine will be available) “very rapidly.” March 2 – “It’s very mild.” March 4 – “…we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.” March 6 – “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.’ Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.” March 7: “I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” March 10 – “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” March 16 – (asked to rate his own performance) “I’d rate it a ten.” |

It's a joke. They renamed Pneumonia, Tuburculosis, and Bronchitis and called it 'covid19'. Then he caved, like he always does. fucking moron virus tards actually believe in this fairy demon unicorn virus. |

He shoulda said "Mind your immune system". The end. His problem is the same as all politicians. They try to interject themselves where they don't belong to justify their existence and they fuck things up worse.

She had the chance to walk away, like the others. All of them must be voted out to save the US . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79390508 I think people who say something like "Trump's death count" are really stupid. First, you don't know what anyone else's death count would be. Oh yes you do, you know why? The more you like someone, the lower their count would be, in your hypothetical world. Second, you are using the empirical, numerical value, be it cases, deaths or whatever, to lay blame, and assign incompetence, which implies that if someone did everything right, no one would die.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77963296 United States 09/17/2020 07:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said President Trump should have been “straightforward” with the American people regarding the seriousness of the threat posed by the coronavirus earlier this year after recordings revealed he downplayed the pandemic. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79369354 “I believe the president should have been straightforward with the American people. The American people can take hard facts, and he had an obligation as president to be straightforward with them and to tell all that he has known,” Collins said at a Senate debate in Maine Friday evening. The remarks come after recordings of interviews between Trump and veteran journalist Bob Woodward revealed that Trump wanted to “downplay” the coronavirus’s threat in the early months of the pandemic. "I wanted to, I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic," Trump said in a recording released by Woodward. "It goes through the air," Trump said in another part of the interview. "That's always tougher than the touch. You don't have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breath the air and that's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus." The comments to Woodward came at the same time as Trump was publicly comparing the coronavirus to the annual flu and suggesting the pandemic would simply disappear. [link to thehill.com (secure)] Everyone knew what was going on, it was a global event. Trump jumping up and down with his hair on fire would have caused half the country to attack him question the seriousness of virus, just like they did with hydroxychloroquine. |

Personally I’m fine with how Trump handled it. If anything he went overboard with the lockdowns and masks. I’d love to see how this stupid RINO c&nt would’ve done it. |
