GOP Prez ALWAYS gets blamed for every natural disaster!

Hey.... I love CU sports & certainly hope we get to enjoy them again one day. Hope football doesn't get cancelled too, but it's possible.
But, since ain't NO sports goin' on now, I'll try to make a point or two...
GOP presidents get nailed to the cross whenever some natural disaster happens. George W was hung out to dry when, somehow, he summoned Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans (I guess working in concert with David Duke) to wipe out poor people of color there. Until the media revealed that, I had no idea "W" possessed such powers.
Now it's Trump's turn to shoulder the blame for COVID-19. Forget that China, our mortal enemy, suppressed the info about the virus until it was too late to (maybe) slow its spread. But let me remind all libs that in 2009, Prez Obama didn't declare a national emergency for some 4-5 months when the swine flu began sweeping the U.S. In fact, by the time Obama took any action, over 1,000 Americans had died! Did HE get crucified? Oh - absolutely not!
Another point. What are we doing handing nearly total control (over 90%) of our pharmaceutical needs over to China? Yes - over 90% of our Rx drugs are manufactured there! I blame all previous & current greedy politicians and Big Pharma fatcats for selling us out on that one! Shameful!!
Finally, there has been no report at all about locking down our southern border. I assume it's still a wide-open door, so just seems senseless to have all these "travel restrictions" when anyone can simply fly to Mexico & then walk into the U.S., infected or not. Lord knows we CANNOT close the southern door. It takes some stones to take such action - like Israel, which is locked down tight! NOBODY'S getting in there!
Well, I urge we remain optimistic for the return of sports someday. Meanwhile, consider getting in the "Greed Line" & shorting the market - 'cause it's heading to 1930s territory to the 10th power. We can blame 'Herbert Hoover Trump' for that one too.

To be fair, only the Kenyan Dems get accused of not even being American.
Jimmy and Bill were just accused of being incompetent and being a horn-dog.

Trump was crucified for trying to stay calm and not cause panic, the media and libs want the economy to tank and want a problem to be a disaster, the economy tanking is self imposed by the gross over reaction. Read between the lines folks, ask yourself why do media and liberal types have an extra pep in their step and have to fight to hold back the smiles.

Why would the media not want Trump in Office? Seriously? He gives them some bat #### crazy news to cover everyday. Rating are through the roof with him! Why would they want a boring "Liberal " President who might wear a brown suit or wear a bicycle helmet for the big story of the day? Put away the tin foil hats there's no conspiracy against #45.

and uses the name ##### they get TDed beause of the TDS. So enjoy.
But to answer one of your questions: traitor globalists in our country know that to have a global soviet gulag, you must make ALL countries dependent. Therefore, it's been a systematic program for many decades to farm out all industries that make us both powerful and independent (like a having anti-American communist countries producing integrated circuits that maintain our military hardware, or transformers that keep our power-grid up and running, or yes, as you stated, vaccines and medical supplies, etc. etc. etc. etc.) You (and everyone else) are now getting a little better idea of not just how ridiculous, but how criminal doing all of this is.
One bright spot for you is that I do personally know that the current administration has been made aware of such treachery, especially for military components
https://www.wsj.com/articles/dont-trust-the-chinese-to-make-microchips-for-the-military-1509059023
and seems to be trying to do something about it. Only time will tell whether we will be recover from a generation of sedition before a much bigger disaster befalls us.
Pray that it does, and never forget "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

Trump fired the pandemic response team in 2018 to cut cost.

They made an ad hoc team, led by former talk radio host Mike Pence. The best people from the pandemic team have moved on to other jobs outside the government.

I don't hate Trump by any means but he needs to take some accountability. He always puts the blame on others and it is sickening. Ofcourse it is not his fault that this virus started. He did cut some if the funds that have hampered our efforts. Ofcourse he did not know this was going to come and I don't blame him for trying to save us money when he took over. He still needs to accept the fact that some of this is his fault. I believe he is doing a great job and I'm not sure how the media is making it out like he caused panic when he shut down travel to and from Europe. We need to get a long a little bit more. It is sad how he cannot agree with the democrats as well as the media and vice versa. It would be nice if we could come together but he will not budge and the media and democrats think everything he does is horrible even if it is great just because he is the one doing it.

I support most of Trump's political positions BUT he is probably the person in the US that I dislike more than anyone else due to his arrogance, stupid tweets and not willing to accept blame for anything.

So, I'd like to see where these folks where fussing about the president's preparedness two months ago? Nobody was proactively fussing about this stuff. It's always reactive and that's easy to do.
Now, if this thing gets 'under control' at a very small number, the media will react accordingly and say it could've been smaller. If you live in the south, compare this to a threat of snow. When it's an understandingly light winter storm, the media finds the ice patches and spends all their time there.
You don't need to be scared of Trump here, you need to worried about the government in general. Ultimately, they're all on the same team and full control of the people is what they'er all after.

No President is blamed for a natural disaster. They are blamed for how they handle it. Don't forget all the criticism heaped on Obama over his handling, successfully, of the Ebola outbreak.
Whatever party is 'out' of the oval office, criticizes the party that is 'in' the oval office. It's been that way ever since Germany attacked Pearl Harbor.

I pray for everybody in office to make the right decision. And hope that they actually do. My biggest thing with Trump is he does not know when to just shut up. No this is not your fault but the way always pass the blame makes you look like a preschooler. Remember the Buck stops with you. That goes with anybody in leadership that is one reason why you get paid the big amounts of money.
I hope we can all come together during this crisis and work with eachother and stop freaking out and going to the stor and buying up all the food and toilet paper you can buy. Just remain calm and take a deep breath. Lastly I hope everybody CLemson fan or not reamin safe and if you have children turn off the news bring comfort to your kids. GO TIGERS FIGHT like hell and Win!

To fight this pandemic or is it “dempanic,” with all major sporting events cancelled and all schools and colleges canceling classes would love to hear this:
The 2020 Presidential Election has been cancelled and the current administration will continue until further notice.

Interesting how the 'dems and liberal media' has the power to shut down all of Europe, Asia, and the middle east. NASA announced 2 days ago that they can see Iran's mass graves from the space station.
You can spot a Hannity viewer from a mile away. What's it like having the entire world understand something you don't?

Apparently, Canadians being white means their less of a threat. Even though they had Coronavirus before Mexico did.

No blame for any natural disaster! Taking responsibility for
Mar 15, 2020, 2:18 PM
|
|
proper response is worthy of legitimate discussion.
In the case of COVID- 19, Dr Fauci testified before Congress last week that for the most part “testing” has been a failure. In recent interviews, he focuses on what mitigating tactics need to be implemented in the immediate future.
A good leader takes responsibility for shortcomings and even failures because as the saying goes “the buck stops here”.
The Administration has done some good things like the travel restrictions and recently putting Dr Fauci as the point person, including public messaging.
