I have to admit I stole this from another forum but it shows just how closely your mind relates to that of your hero POTUS ..... he is full of crap too! Trumps assessment of the situation ..........
Feb. 27: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.” — Trump at a White House meeting with African American leaders.
Feb. 29: “And I’ve gotten to know these professionals. They’re incredible. And everything is under control. I mean, they’re very, very cool. They’ve done it, and they’ve done it well. Everything is really under control.” — Trump in a speech at the CPAC conference outside Washington, D.C.
March 4: “[W]e have a very small number of people in this country [infected]. We have a big country. The biggest impact we had was when we took the 40-plus people [from a cruise ship]. … We brought them back. We immediately quarantined them. But you add that to the numbers. But if you don’t add that to the numbers, we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.” — Trump at a White House meeting with airline CEOs.
March 4: “Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number.” — Trump in an interview on Fox News, referring to the percentage of diagnosed COVID-19 patients worldwide who had died, as reported by the World Health Organization.
March 7: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” — Trump, when asked by reporters if he was concerned about the arrival of the coronavirus in the Washington, D.C., area.
March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.
March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.
A day later, on March 11, the WHO declared the global outbreak a pandemic.
Last, but not least,
March 17th, “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
POOTIN
...... must have tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks, I know I did ?
The POTUS is my hero and for good reason.
I was just watching some YouTube analysis on how far reachinh his intelligence is.
This from a content creator that is critical of Trump, or doesn't like him.
Love him or loathe him, he is definitely charismatic and continuously corners world leaders and his American opponents like Bush, Clinton, Biden, Sanders and so on and he does hit like a sniper.
The narrative above is a blue print of exactly what is occurring in Australia too. Our PM has acted in a cool and calm fashion. His opponents have accused him of being too relaxed and to have down played the crisis
That is not true in Australia or the USA. We look at our leaders for direction and leadership. The last thing the people need is to see panic from our Governments. At the same time, Australia and USA have been preparing the country for a gradual shutdown, have readied their military, hospitals and have opened Infectious Disease wards.
Australia and USA would be the only 2 countries I would like to be right now. And as a permanent citizen I can go when I like.
If I could participate in US elections (which I can't yet), then Trump has my vote everyday and twice on Sunday.
