No, it is sad. Tens of millions of Americans will be affected in the coming weeks - not by the virus, but by the panic that has been generated purely as a political tool. And when this is over, and people go back to their normal lives wondering what the big deal was all about, our press and their political allies will shift the narrative in order to continue their main political goal by any means necessary. And if that means a complete reversal in their rhetoric, they won't hesitate for a second.
In the meantime, there have been small nuggets of truth dotting a superfluous crescendo of DNC talking points - Gavin Newsom's praise of the Administration being one. But President's enemies don't care. Their contempt for this Administration supersedes everything else. And they will rejoice at the destruction of our economy if it means removing Trump from office.
Sad indeed.
Thank you for the response
@Hoodat . Your's is a perfectly logical opinion. One I'm sure the President would agree with. From my point of view I think it will be harder for President Trump to respond to the virus if he only sees it in terms of panicked over-reaction and a political tool of the democrats and MSM. I bet Nancy Pelosi hopes Trump continues the battle from that perspective. I pray for the best and expect the worst. I dare not utter the worst, but I expect thousands of death in the coming month, because this virus looks to be doubling every 3 days in terms of exposure and deaths. I don't care that much if the rats are being too cautious, because I still have no faith our President see the dangers. I don't understand why President Trump doesn't want to be known as a compassionate man who loves all life and championed a response...but he seems like he prefers a running against the rats, and preoccupied with his golf score "image."
In good times of economic prosperity the American people want a do-nothing Administration and Congress. The GOP excelled at passing nothing for two years, and Congress only got better at nothing when Pelosi took the House.
But when times are troubled voters want decisive action. It sometimes doesn't even have to work to help lift the national spirit, if it is absent a credible alternative. But leadership requires more than phoning-in a performance and blaming someone else.
I know that you are perfectly satisfied with the administration's response...looking around at the stock markets, the super markets, empty streets, and fast filling hospital beds, I remain unconvinced of the President's competence, much like the last three years.
