Coronavirus - What Happened?

I think Obama would have taken action back in January to replenish medical supplies at the behest of his national security infectious disease team. At the least, we would have had a 6week headstart on where we are now. But we don’t know.

HOWEVER, we do know that trump disbanded that team, and implied CV was a democratic hoax for a couple months instead, thus putting himself and my country behind the eightball.

Trump fucked this situation up. Obama did not. Obama fucked up Syria. Trump did not. What ifs vs what happened.

He won. Get over it. Letting coastal out of touch elites dictate an election is absurd. And it’s ironic seeing as how the left; you know the party of the “little guy,” conveniently glosses over this

But not now? Isn’t that called “passing the buck”?

Out of touch elietes, so the people more likely to have gone to and finished high school, more likely to have a bachelor’s degree or greater?

If rural in America is anything like it is here you’ve got less educated people the more rural you get. Given I went out rural once or twice in the USA I know there is a higher percentage of those who abide strictly by religious principle… Depending who you talk to, the rural demographic is considered to be out of touch

Before you get angry here, I live somewhat rurally… I live on a farm, I work manually within said farm on a daily basis.

Even Snopes, a left leaning “fact checker”, doesn’t agree with your hoax claim. You need new propaganda sources bro.

What are you talking about? I said he deserves blame so yes now. But it would seem as if it’s a pretty easy correctable mistake in three years?

I mean the race to divert blame is hilarious. Dude you’re acting just like him.

So he would have done in six weeks what he didn’t do in seven years?

Actually there’s video of him stating it’s a democrat hoax

Around 1:05, he calls the virus a hoax created by democrats

Ok. Can you point me to a source indicating Trump personally knew there was a shortage of masks? I’d like to know more about what was recommended prior to the outbreak.

Lol… dude give your “angry” shit a rest. You seem to think being college “educated” makes one’s opinion more valid. How laughably ignorant and elitist. Physician heal thyself.

We all know plenty of college graduates that are dumb fucks with no common sense that wouldn’t survive day on a farm or in a field, or a mechanic shop, trade school, etc…

Fact check yourself. Did I write he said it? No.

He and his minions sure as shit IMPLIED it.

Don’t forget stealing money from a kids cancer charity. It is hard to even come up with something that morally bankrupt.

My God you sound exactly like him. “I didn’t do that. Someone else did. It wasn’t me.”

Does Trump ever deserve blame or can we just say Obama and speculate that no one told him to his face.

Maybe someone tried and he was golfing or tweeting?

When he would have had medical experts warning of an impending pandemic, yes, he would have.

Trump ignores experts. At this time was no different.

This happened on Trump’s watch, and he was objectively late in addressing the problem.

It does it terms wherein you can’t make a coherent argument pertaining to various highly politicised/highly controversial topics (I’m not talking about you btw). If you’ve never looked at data pertaining to a certain issue, in rebuttal to a debate state “I don’t give a fuck about you’re studies”… Then you probably don’t have the most scientifically backed opinion

If a doctor thinks we need to take action but some dimwits in society believe covid 19 isn’t a big deal… Is the doctor’s opinion more valid (been to med school) vs some guy?

College degrees/ a HS education DEF adds credibility/ a semblance of respect… It’s not ignorance.

I periodically get shut down by people saying I don’t know shit because I’m young/don’t have a college degree… How laughably ignorant… No it isn’t, they’ve got a point

Also, I perform manual tasks on a farm… It’s difficult work, not as if I’m oblivious to the fact that manual labour is difficult… Doesn’t help me form coherent arguments though (but it does give me blistered hands full of cuts, bruises and callouses)

Every opinion is valid, however the level of reasonable scientific backing pertaining to an opinion is heavily correlated with education/research

Actually he outright said it was a hoax on life television

Are you deliberately lying or do you not understand he was comparing the Democrat’s Russia hoax to their political attacks on his response to the China virus?

I thought he was saying Trump said the coronavirus a hoax, you replied he didn’t say that

Trump has alluded to it being a hoax (Russian interference)

Some tweets by him
"The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax, when will this taxpayer funded charade end?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump"

Why did Democratic National Committee turn down the DHS offer to protect against hacks (long prior to election). It’s all a big Dem HOAX!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump"

He most certainly did refer to the notion of Russian interference as a hoax

Edit: I’ve gotten confused. What are we stating Trump declared to be hoax…

Stealing money from the Haitian relief efforts seems pretty immoral too.

Does that change the morality of stealing form a kids cancer charity? I find you arguments about previous wrong doings justifying present ones irrational.
