Trump to press: ‘No, I haven’t consulted past presidents … I don’t think I’m going to learn much’
March 23, 2020 | Frieda Powers

President Donald Trump is not making plans to consult his predecessors about how to handle the current coronavirus emergency facing his administration.

Trump was asked during a press briefing at the White House on Sunday about the possibility he would reach out to former presidents for advice on how to navigate the nation through the health crisis which currently has over 41,000 confirmed cases in the U.S.

Trump asked if he would reach out to past presidents for coronavirus advice:

“I don’t want to disturb them, bother them. I don’t think I’m going to learn much. … If I felt that if I called I’d learn something and that would save one life … I would make the call in two minutes"

Honestly, none of them have faced this situation.  Of the living Presidents, I would trust none of them for advice.

The media is dying to breathlessly report President Trump consulted Obama.

That they cannot is a feather in Trump's cap.  He's learned a lot since becoming President.

I don't know that my President, and still yours too, Donald “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things," Trump would learn much from talking to anyone.  But a photo op with former Presidents showing unity and support for our President's plan is a missed opportunity to show others, who might not recognize the President's brilliance, and that We Are All In This Together.

Obama didn't do jack during H1N1, why would Trump consult him on anything?

And how would posing for a picture next to O'Bastard the Ineffective be considered a good "photo-op?"

Jimmy Carter - is he lucid (even ignoring his TDS)?

Bill Clinton - one of the two most indolent Presidents in my lifetime

GWB - would probably, reasonably, respond, "I don't know enough about what is happening to offer meaningful advice"

BHO - the other of the two most indolent Presidents in my lifetime, who F'ed up response to H1N1, and who didn't replenish the national stockpile of respirators after the H1N1 pandemic

Trump was too nice to respond, "Why would I do that?"
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

   If it was a herpes outbreak BJ Clinton's advice might prove invaluable.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
