Or you could have merely Googled it as suggested.
You fall for it every time when I tell a fact you claim I am lying and making rude comments about me showing your laziness and ignorance. Then to show all what you are I reveal what is common knowledge and you usually disappear or make a moronic comment as you just did.
Just accept I am right and save yourself embarrassment, but you always call me a liar and to prove I am not. Well I just let you do that over and over when you could google the truth easily and save embarrassing yourself rather than repeatedly calling me a liar and other insulting remarks making yourself really look silly and ignorant.
Again I and America win you lose.

Well, to answer you and LWW in one fell swoop...

First of all, Trump should not have downplayed the seriousness of the virus weeks ago. Calling it a Democratic hoax against him was not only wrong, but totally inappropriate. There are people all over the world dying from this pandemic, and none of them are part of a ploy against Trump. Comments like that show that HE was politicizing the pandemic, and they were completely insensitive to anyone -- even Americans -- who have lost family members to the disease.

Secondly, he should have acted more aggressively sooner. He did his best to keep numbers low by not acting to get test kits out, not allowing commercial/university/hospital labs to do the testing, etc. His comment about not allowing the ship to dock because it would raise the number of US cases was stupid... and pathetic.

Third, he should not have lied to the public. Even in his Oval Office speech he lied or misrepresented facts that had to be corrected by people like Fauci, and corrections to his many falsehoods were often done within minutes of Trump opening his pie hole.

Fourth -- oh heck, forget the count -- he should have stepped aside a long time ago and let the scientists and health officials speak and do their job, rather than insisting that messaging had to be approved by the administration.

He should stop lying about how well things are going in the US. The ONLY reason numbers are low is because of lack of testing. The increase in cases is not indicative of the spread of the virus, but rather correlated to the number of tests out there. He also said anyone who wanted the test could get it (not true), that a vaccine would be ready in a few months (not true), that the spread was contained (not true), that COVID-19 is much like the common flu (not true), that this thing would miraculously go away (not true), that ... need I go on?

And what a bunch of bullshit when he was at CDC bragging about himself ("I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President.").

Then there is his not taking responsibility for the slow response and blaming it on Obama. You know, the administration that set up a pandemic response office that Trump closed the day after the head of the group issued a dire warning about a pandemic being the most serious national security health threat. He told the reporter in the Rose Garden who asked the question that someone else in his administration may have done that, but he has no responsibility for it. Yet in almost the same breath he takes credit for the stock market rebounding slightly, claiming it is doing really well. Eleven years of growth lost... and he is happy with the market performance. WOW!!!

This virus may not be as bad as it seems, but the entire world is reacting for some reason, and it is having dire consequences for daily life now and for some time in the future. People are losing their jobs, or losing their salaries while not at work, unable to pay bills, etc, etc.

Trump did the right thing to limit travel from China early, but blocking travel from Europe -- without consulting foreign colleagues -- is not particularly helpful given that community spread is now the greatest means of spread. Declaring a national emergency is another good thing because it releases funds and resources, but much too late.

So if you want to hear me say Trump did a few things right, My respect for him could actually go up a notch if he would publicly admit that he was wrong early on in his handling of the crisis, but I won't hold my breath.

No, please John, hold your breath. Quite possibly it was you who gave the Trudeau family the virus to begin with. Save the world if you can.

Much of your comment is the same old, same old comments revolving around your dislike for Trump. As of now, no matter what he SAID, America is still doing pretty well compared to the rest of the world. You don't like how he talks...We all get that. But look at your own statement, "I will concede that the actions may be right, but the way he handled the situation is piss poor." This is the first time Trump has handled a world wide epidemic in his Presidency. Every other POTUS can be said to have handled this type of thing not perfectly. Yet you expect perfection from an imperfect person. Please try to get over yourself. Concentrate on your own country at least when this is just as much a time of emergency to Canada as well as America.

Your actions once again prove you are just another troll when your own country is in peril and here you are whining and bitching about my country.
