Just Who Is Donald J Trump?

All of what you say might be true. Trump 

While everything you guys might be saying about Trump may be true, let's not pretend that THIS most recent spike in cases nationwide is on Trump. He might be ignoring the crisis, but it's comical how every time I turn on CNN the "huge mystery" of the spike in cases is laid at his feet. I keep waiting for Scoobie Doo to pop out of a corner and solve the mystery of why the cases are where they are today. No, it surely wouldn't have to do with millions of morons running around in huge crowds reeking havoc everywhere they went would it? I'm all for a peaceful protest, but unfortunately we now clearly see that mass gatherings conducted from shore to shore wasn't such a great idea. Each individual has a choice to make the problem worse or better. Golfers at Hilton Head made observations about the general public (not protestors, so I'm not singling them out completely) with many referring to the laid back attitudes towards social distancing "a zoo". 

Unfortunately, we live in perhaps the MOST SELFISH country in the world. It's time for PEOPLE to step up and fix the problem without waiting on Trump to tell them to do it. 

I don't think anyone is expecting Trump to do anything; that horse has left the barn.

He delegated responsibility to the Governors as soon as he lost control of the situation & some Governors in red states are dealing with the issues caused by their fealty to him.    

States governing themselves.  

They refused help. This is not all on Trump.  

Right scooby-doos,

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people....

The Tenth Amendment  to the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights..

States Rights......

It's laughable to even state any kind of nonsense that the pandemic is on Trump. That is always suggested by all the haters. Now, your

response will be that Trump should have acted earlier. that also is bullshit. SO, the question none of you haters have never answered and

will never answer as I have asked a nauseating amount of times. When would have you dem geniuses responded????? It definitely wouldn't

have been before Trump did. Remember your party saying "why shut down travel". He's a racist and xeno! REMEMBER????? Pelosi says

keep dancing in the streets?????????? Anyone have a response??? Keep on hatin, I love it!

i am forced to agree

Hi KellyM_1964, welcome to the politics forum... After only 5 post in 11 years,, what motivated you to start posting in this forum?

Are you also one of those who are choosing to leave SBR?

US response could have been earlier if Trump didn't dismantled Obama's pandemic response team of National security council.  By downplaying severity of pandemic, Trump administration wasted months in not preparing for the pandemic.  His early travel ban proves ineffective in preventing US from having the most coronavirus cases and deaths of any country in the world.    History of past pandemics show travel bans are overrated according to World health organization.  No evidence of travel ban saving any life according to John Hopkins university.  Without a vaccine, most effective preventions have been lockdown measures such as home isolation, closure of businesses, social distancing, mask wearing, testing and contact tracing. 

"1/3 Person" .... you didn't answer SNORKEL's question.    "" WHEN"  would you DEMS have Responded  !! You are proving his point ..Lol.. 

Trump's handling of Covid-19 pandemic is a failure.

Too funny.....    I stubbed my toe its trump's fault..... my car broke its trump's fault....my hair is to short.... etc.  ... Everything is his fault when things dont go your way on the flip side when all good .... it's someone else to praise.  People, we are to blame.  Majority of people did not social distance themselves , masks were hardly worn do this is what we get for being selfish and arrogant.    Soon we will be a Marxist society .   I feel bad for all your kids and grandchildren.    Our elected officials are supposed to work for us instead they fight each other.  

done when China was deceiving the whole world along with the WTO. You insist travel bans were ineffective- THIS IS SIMPLY AN ASSININE STATEMENT

you keep making- It's simple ACCORDING TO "people with common sense". Are you going to spread the disease more if you let people from these infected

countries into your country? Geezus that statement is major league ignorant. (NO MATTER WHO YOU QUOTE- "ACCORDING TO.")Unbelievable you

keep standing by that statement. IS there any "according to source" you don't believe in? NOW, ANSWER THE QUESTION or admit it would have been

after the Trump response. You can't do either can you. Major lack of any credibility.

Good to see you Snorkel...

We're still good for a hundy on the election, right?

You can donate my winning hundy to Meals On Wheels in your neck of the woods.

Third - let me lay one more question on you and give me some according to's. What has the democratic party done to help alleviate the 

          Chinese virus or the violence within the protests? Let me help you - Not a fk'n thing as usual. Let the mob dictate your party's

           direction! Who was the last democrat to denounce the rioting and looting? Oh, wait, your party doesn't use those terms. I'll await

           your response.

Midnite - missed your rhetoric - definitely still on my man

For those with weak memories, here's a few more of Trump's finer moments...

Encouraged violence. Said that he’d like to punch a protester "in the face"; that his supporters should "knock the hell" out of protesters—“I promise you, I’ll pay the legal bills”; and that the police should not protect suspects' heads when loading them into squad cars. This moron throws rocks at babies not punches at grown men. He has no idea how it feels to hit someone in the face. It's not a great feeling hitting or getting hit. This leech doesn't even pay his own legal bills & he offers to pay the bill of others??? Good luck to Tulsa getting their recent security costs for his ego stroke ever getting paid.

Refused to release his tax returns for public inspection after having previously promised to do so. On other occasions, he falsely claimed he could not release them because he was under audit. When, in 2019, Congress subpoenaed Trump’s tax returns, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin refused to comply—kicking off cases that went to the Supreme Court. Take a pick as to why he doesn't want to release the...money laundering, tax fraud, embezzlement etc.

Said Judge Gonzalo Curiel is unfit to rule on a lawsuit filed by Trump University students because :he's a Mexican" (in fact, the judge is an American citizen born in Indiana). Trump would later settle the lawsuit for 25 million. His organization committed outright fraud, 

Called on Russia to hack and release presidential Hilly Clinton emails.

Broke with U.S. policy of supporting Ukraine over Russia’s invasion of Crimea, saying “The people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were.” From what he heard, really? Heard from whom? Vlad???

Denigrated the family of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in 2004 while serving in Iraq, after Khan’s father delivered remarks at the Democratic National Convention. He even attacked the mother of the fallen soldier. His support of our troops is total bullshit.

Before Election Day, repeatedly hyped unfounded fears of a "rigged" election. Then, after Election Day, he stated, without any evidence, “I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” He's doing the same thing here in 2020.

As one of his first official acts as president, deployed White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer to lie about the size of his inauguration crowd. Spicer's attempt to spread this lie made him look like a fool all around the world.

Blasted the news media and bragged about the size of his inauguration crowds—as well as his intellect—in front of the CIA's wall of stars memorializing agents who died in service to the country. He as no sense of there being a time and place for everything. Unless he's the focus of attention, he couldn't care less at these sites.

Enacted the “Muslim ban” that, through executive order, prevented foreign nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States for 90 days; the order was quickly contested in the courts, and its enforcement was blocked. His racist order. which was later reversed, caused chaos in airports all over the world.

Created a federal commission to investigate voter fraud that failed to find any examples of voter fraud. Zilch! Nada!

Remained silent when security forces working for Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, attacked protested outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C. He allowed American citizens to be beaten on American soil by a dictator's security crew. Another example of his gutless lack of leadership.

God or Trump.

Pick one.

You can't follow both.

Take the third choice impeach him...............

The country will just replace him permanently.

Yesterday Trump retweeted a video showing a supporter yelling “white power!” before later deleting it as an aide said he didn’t hear the words. Today he retweeted a video showing a white couple brandishing guns at peaceful black protesters.

C'mon now. We are talking about the President of the United States acting like this.

He's gotta go!

Trump administration's immigration policies have mostly been failures.  Recently, federal appeal court has ruled that Trump administration's use of pentagon funds to build border wall is illegal.  Diverting funds violate constitutional right of congress to control spending.  No one is above the law but Trump likes to invent fake emergencies to implement pet projects.  Only 3 of 212 miles are new barriers along the border.  Most construction repair or replace existing barriers build during Bush and Obama administrations.  Despite Trump's promise, Mexico still hasn't paid for wall.

Furthermore, a federal judge has ruled that detained children of illegal immigrants must be released because law requires government to protect their health and safety.  Although illegal immigration has been declining for years and no real crisis, Trump administration is wasting taxpayers money by unnecessarily keeping military at south border for show as a political stunt.  In addition, court has allowed common sense DACA program to continue temporarily to protect innocent children born in the US.  According to most economists, DACA demise would cost US economy dearly.

There's an article on the Mother Jones website that describes the amount of debt the Trump Organization has coming due in the next couple of years.

The title of the article is "Trump Has A Half Billion In Loans Coming Due. They May Be His Biggest Conflict Of Interest Yet."

The hospitality industry is not doing well & it's not too rosy on the horizon. It's long article but worth a read IMO.

You do realize that Trump's shut down travel ban didn't actually shut down travel from China right? It only disallowed non-citizens from entering the U.S. from China. However, American citizens who had been there were still free to come back, which likely brought cases here. He also still allowed entry from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao, which were not included in the ban. Some flights were immediately halted from China, while others were permitted with the Airlines discretion. In reality it was not much of a "ban" at all from China. His travel ban from Europe didn't even happen until mid-March, and considering America's first case was from Europe that was far too late. His pseudo travel "bans" were complete failures and did nothing to prevent the virus from arriving to the U.S.
