I wish even a fraction of the energy used to go after Trump, would go after the Chinese CCP.
Trump didn't start the damn virus and try to cover it up.
THE CHINESE DID.But, I guess oh well, that's OK. No big deal, we don't want to be racist. Maybe the next virus that comes out of China, given their track record, we'll find even more evidence of what we did wrong, and we can apologize because that's what the progressives seem to focus upon.
Right anger, wrong target.

Oh he tried to cover it up alright. He made light of it for months while he was being warned by many experts that this shit was going to explode. "but the stock market! if it falls, I'm doomed. Let's just lie some more. It will die away with the warm weather." There is your nutshell of why he acted the way he did. I didn't much care for Hillary either, but you all stepped in the dog crap pulling the lever for this idiot.

Then there is no reason to elect or change leaders of any country, is it? We're all on autopilot and nothing ever makes a difference.
Let me ask you, do you think President Obama did a good job with the economy?
I think Mr. Obama did a good job trying to sink 1/7 of it.
But in your scenario, it doesn't matter...Obama has little or no effect.

I never said that they have no effect, but I do think (like Xenon says better than I) that their effect is not as much as people think (and not as much as they themself think).
I do agree with your point that you make in a later post that the President can make people feel better about the economy and that can help (or hurt) the economy. (Hopefully I interpret your meaning correctly).
Maybe this is a bad example, but imagine that it is 15 C out.
For people who are in favor of President Trump, it is sunny, blue sky, puffy white clouds. Just seems like a nice day.
For people who are anti President Trump, it is still 15 C out, but it is gloomy and cloudy, there are dark clouds, etc.
One day feels better/worse than the other, but the reality is that it is the same day.

Isn't it funny how the "my body, my choice" people are reacting to this?
A bit like pro-lifers telling everybody to get back to damn work for the good of the many?

The fallacy in 89th's assertion is that the federal government does not impose shutdowns. The states do. Can you imagine if Trump had done that unilaterally? He'd not be just Hitler, but Hitler squared!
Had he encouraged states to, or even taken the deadliness off the virus seriously, some states may have shut down earlier than they did. Most waited until the last week of March.

And if pigs had wings.... you want to make him responsible for something not in his power to do. The states had to come to the realization on their own time in order to get public cooperation. This is not the PRC.

Is everybody forgetting how we were warned that H1N1 was going to be catastrophic and would fundamentally change our nation? How did that go? Remember how Avian Flu was going to be a disaster of epic proportions? I do. Ebola was coming. We spent three days watching the news and debating on whether those healthcare workers should be allowed back in the US. Over and over again there have been media panic attacks over this kind of crap. Eventually people tune Chicken Little out. There was no way any state was going to take serious action until they could clearly see this was happening.
Trump took appropriate actions when it was appropriate to take. He's had his high points and he's had his low points. His low points do not include him pointing out that it's not as serious as the media is portraying a lot of this, because he's not wrong. It's not the end of the world. Will Smith is not going to be left alone in New York to try to discover a vaccine while horrible mutants hunt at night. Mel Gibson won't be driving around in a souped up muscle car fighting off chainsaw wielding bandits in the desert wastelands of Ohio.
This is serious fvcking business, but by pushing this narrative too far, people are rebelling and are losing faith and trust in the media and public officials.

I’m not saying he’s responsible, I’m saying had he not downplayed the seriousness of the virus so much, it could’ve helped in preventing tens of thousands of deaths. Studies confirm this, and Trump’s own words are clearly on the record.

Now you're moving the goalposts from encouraging states to lock down to taking it more seriously.
