Does any of you understand the concept of innovation? Spit-balling ideas, including some really hair-brained ones, in the hope that something useful comes from it. I'd be curious how all of you would have felt if he were to ever propose the potential benefits of injecting mustard gas or other poisons to attack the virus. Hardly sounds safe or sound, does it? I only raise it up because deliberate injection of mustard gases were the first attempts at chemotherapy. That’s so true. I’m at my most “innovative” after having a few wobbly pops. For example, I determined that a group of CDCers should be hired to coach the Canucks on random nights. The team would prolly do better, amirite? On the other hand this pandemic, is somewhat more serous. So Maybe, just maybe, the commander in chief should leave the innovation to others and act like he has his sh@t together during these uncertain times. His moments of inspiration, which are all too frequent, don’t really inspire confidence amount the masses. Further, the fine citizenary that constitutes Trump’s base might do something really stupid, such as follow his suggestions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the supreme idiocy shown by so much media that anything orange man does is bad is not appropriate. Nor helpful. And then rabid consumers eat it up... yay, something else to attack Trump with. Why... because it is such a bad idea, or because of who said it. Because, in January, Trump wanted to restrict travel into the country. What happened? Media, experts and Dems freak out, to the point where Dems were drafting legislation trying to remove Trump's ability to restrict travel (where had we heard that before?). How long did it take for those same people to criticize him for not restricting travel? By March, Trump gets attacked because he wasn't taking this thing seriously enough early on. Oddly enough, neither were countless other democrat politicians (of various levels) or the media that supports them. But no, it's only Trump's fault. How many are attacking him over the mere mention of hydroxychloroquine, a drug that already has the FDA stamp of approval and was being used my doctors (you know... experts) in other countries to treat covid 19. To mention the drug, to give people hope that a medical treatment... is that such a bad thing? Or how about how he was attacked over the supply of ventilators. I won't get into the debate over the state of the emergency supply resulting from the previous administration, but the death rate of covid 19 patients using ventilators can get pretty high (80% in NY is probably the worst). Does that mean that all the Dems and others criticizing Trump about not having enough ventilators should be attacked because they support something that might be worse then hydroxychloroquine? No, it doesn't. People are scrambling to do the best they can in a horrible situation. That includes doctors. Experts appear to change their mind every two weeks. A month ago, my wife was verbally attacked by a UPS store manager, because she was wearing a mask. A week or two later, there was a sign on the door, of that very same store saying customers could not enter without wearing a mask. I hope that a-hole feels better about being a dick to my wife. All of this anti-Trumpism going on now is pure politics. That is my point. You evidently have incredibly low standards. People expect more from the guy with the top job. Is that really too much to ask? It’s not antI Trumpism; it’s actually anti stupidity. The man is an inferior leader and is a disaster as a President. He hasd a golden opportunity to reform his image and be someone that people look up to admire. But nope, he has totally screwed the pooch. The Trump “hate” isn’t politically motivated. Intolerance of reckless stupidity doesn’t need politics to help it take root. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Obama gave a briefing, did we have to wait and see if his words were sarcastic or not? That's a big issue with TRUMP, you can't take him seriously. And you don't need to spin them to make his words look bad. He does that all on his own. i heard the Saturday Night Live was having trouble finding material to parody Trump because Trump was doing a great job of it himself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his arrogance he thinks he’s smart enough to tackle these issues and he’s just not. Makes himself sound like even more of a baffoon. A doctor would have simply said we’re looking into every possible treatment and measure to control the virus and left it at that. Its his ego. Its the very reason why he ran for president in the first place (besides lining his friends and his own pockets). His Apprentice show was all about his ego. He loved being the center of attention. Delusions that he is gods gift to the earth. Everything he says and does points to this. If he could change his middle name to God, he would. The insistence on having his name printed on those stimulus cheques was especially galling. Even if you take politics out of it. Discount everything the Democrats say. You would still have the impression that he has been one of the worst Presidents the US has ever seen. He has zero Diplomacy when talking in front of an audience. Compare how Trudeau conducts himself in his morning speeches to Trump. Night and Day. When Trump speaks at an international summit, I bet the other heads of state are saying to themselves, WTF is that? 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Newark, La Guardia, JFK. All major Airports. Most of the international flights were coming from Europe and that's where the major source of infection came from for the Eastern Seaboard. Though you had Trump patting himself on the back for stopping flights from China. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't talk like a politician, and that rubs people (including me sometimes) the wrong way. Who politicized first? Especially in an election year, that is an important consideration. I think many people overestimate his "dangerousness", especially when his words are filtered to make them more dangerous or wrong than they really are. But then, people overestimate the power and impact of the President (or PM for that matter) on our lives. I've agreed already about the appropriateness of his spitballing at the podium. Donald Trump called a Corona Virus a made up Democrat hoax, as did his lick spittle Sean Hannity. In answer to your question, who polticized first. That was back in the good old days when he said there are 15 cases today, and there’ll been none tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
