Trump has scoreboard obsession. It hasn’t worked with coronavirus

[bluesmoke]

"As the coronavirus raced around the globe and seized the world’s economy, he has cited numbers to suit his own story that the pandemic would quickly pass and that his administration was in control."

"It’s a playbook that hasn’t always worked."

Trump has scoreboard obsession. It hasn’t worked with coronavirus

Oh, it's working all-right. Maybe not technically, because it's lying. But a lot of people still have faith in Trump, even though he lies about the greatest public health threat of our lifetime.

Another anti Trump thread from a liberal who doesn't understand that you can always complain but better have an alternative or proposed solution, you have none and have never offered any. You want to get rid of Trump and replace him with who? Trump's results don't warrant firing but the constant attacks show how little civics education the left has as you and all other liberals ignore state and local responsibilities in any crisis. You are a big central gov't liberal who always places blame, never accepting responsibility.

You cannot get over the fact that liberalism is a complete failure so you divert and attack promoting continued federal gov't growth and a return to the Obama malaise and massive social interference. why is that?

Why don't you tell us what the President should be doing that he isn't doing? Then explain to us what control he has over state and local responses as well as preventing people from congregating. You want Marshall Law implemented? Tell us out of a population of 6 BILLION people in the world, 330 million Americans what percentage have the coronavirus and what percentage have died?

You obviously hate Trump but your hatred is misguided and should be focused on the education system that created this kind of attitude, reasoning, and logic.

Congress knows that the answer to all questions, issues and problems is to borrow and spend more at the federal government level.

"Quickly" is relative. The first case in the USA occurred on January 21,2020. It is now March 21,2020 and there are only 20,000 cases out of a population of 330 million. Coronavirus update: Tax Day, Mexico border, California lockdown, NY

Hardly a major effect so far; not even close to 1% affected as of today. There are also suggestions that as the weather warms up the virus may die down to a seasonal form, much like other viruses (Colds, Flu) which flare up in the cold months.

I prefer to hope for either a cure, or that we adapt to it's seasonal effects much as we've already done with the common cold and the flu, likely through the eventual discovery of treatments similar to Flu shots.

One alternative solution might be that the president claim responsibility for dealing with the problem. In other words, act like a grown-up. But he can't, so you all defend his arrogant incompetence.

"Scoreboard Obsession". Yep, that describes it well. But he'll never win the numbers with the virus.

I fear we are now going to be receiving a daily onslaught of Trump & his bull****, because without his rallies he has to do something to bask his public ego, and we will be the unwilling recipients. November can't come soon enough - if he doesn't try to cancel the election.

There are only 20,000 tested cases. Let's be clear, in this.

Trump didn't cause the problem, what did you want him to do that the state and local governments couldn't do? You want a "Chicken Little President?" arrogant incompetence is a term used by liberals who have no solutions and simply hate Trump. Your ideology is a failure and would never work in this country but you are incapable of understanding the FACT that we have 50 INDEPENDENT states with 50 different governments. California is a perfect example as to the success of liberalism, massive wage gap with power controlled by the elite

Yep, nothing but lies & bull**** crammed down out throats. And now that he can't do his rallies, we are going to be forced to deal with more from him on a daily basis - misinforming us to our detriment.

And claiming responsibility serves what purpose? Have you ever accepted personal responsibility for the dependence on gov't your ideology creates for individuals?

I think Trump's greatest problem is that he lives for the moment and every moment is about his need to nurture his ego. If it feels good for his ego in the temporary, he will say and do anything and then look for the love. This is why he routinely plans his pep rallies, where he delivers hate-filled venom to the crowd, and in return he hears their cheers. It's a symbiotic relationship between an uber idiot and citizenry fools. This live-for-the-moment attitude is why he is bankrupt-prone and why the idea of a legacy and recorded history doesn't get in the way of his need to off-the-cuff behave. His decisions are for the moment, with no regard for consequences, which explains his poor decisions in business, foreign policy blunders, his quick cash grab schemes for his own kind with no true regard for the middle class or national debt, and his Twittter embarrassment to the global audience.

 

[Conservative]

He's bad for the economy.

The results don't show that, where is that evidence? What is your vested interest in returning to the Obama malaise?

DP and Dollar change
2008 14712.8
2009 14448.9
2010 14992.1
GDP dollars and GDP dollar growth, 487 billion growth is what Trump inherited, what was it in 2017-2018-2019?

2011 15,542.6 +804.4
2012 16197.0 +562.4
2013 16784.9 +587.9
2014 17527.3 +652.4
2015 18224.8 +697.5
2016 18715.0 +487.2
2017 19519.4 +804.4
2018 20,580.2 +1060.8
2019 21427.1 +846.9

Then there is this which Trump inherited and the comparison today. Anyone that claims the GDP growth now is similar to what Obama had is the true hack and totally has no credibility

Unemployment Rate 4.7% January 2017 vs. 3.6% today

Employed 152.2 million January 2017 to 157.9 million today so 6 million job growth from 2008 to 2017(146 million to 152 million) is celebrated but 6.7 million growth I the last two years isn't!! LOL

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 6.9% today? Wow!! 2.4% better U-6 obviously meaningless to you

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million January 2017 vs. 4.2 million today? Looks to me that incredible job growth you claim was boosted by part time jobs. Part time for economic reason jobs when the recession started 4.8 million, 5.7 million when Obama left office

African American unemployment 8.0% vs. 6.0% today? That explains the surge in support from African Americans for Trump

Epic denialism for the sake of corrupt insider trading barely scratches the surface of the complete incompetence of trump and his flailing ship of fools.

Hope is pretty much all we have in this country.

Pathetic leadership in the early stages has put us way behind the power curve.

The socialist system in China, including the leadership, did a far better job than our Clown in Chief and his evangelical staff.

And claiming responsibility serves what purpose? Have you ever accepted personal responsibility for the dependence on gov't your ideology creates for individuals?

You don't even realize that Trump is actually coming off as a smarter person than you anymore.

Dependency is billion dollar companies going to our government, hat in hand, and asking for a bail-out, with the GOP and Republican Presidents eager to please.

Thus, your ideology is false and ignorant. And Trump knows this about you, thus the leash he has so easily wrapped around your sad neck, while those corporations encourage you to bark on their behalf and at the expense of tax payers.

You apparently don't realize that companies employ people and those billion dollar companies employ millions of people and benefit millions of shareholders. My ideology promotes personal responsibility, yours dependence. which one of us is ignorant of reality

You know how we all know when your kind have been thoroughly frustrated about the reality we smack across your faces? You behave like Trump and lash out.

How old are you? Because I imagine a cantankerous ninety year-old who stopped actually thinking about his ideology back during the Reagan years; and as life went on and Party development occurred you simply viewed it as too difficult to understand, thus you buried your head in the sand...awaiting a political savior to tell you that its all just fake news.

Pathetic lack of civics understanding is rampant in this country and you continue to show it. Pathetic leadership in liberal states like California, NY, NJ and Washington state where people like you believe in placing blame but never accepting responsibility. The socialist leadership in China doing a far better job?? OMG, that is one incredibly stupid statement

All that poster wants to do is derail every thread on trump’s blatant incompetence into a discussion where he dishonesty shades the numbers.

Red states like his Texas are lying about CORONAvirus stats under orders from trump to protect him. We’ll continue to see this illegal manipulation of economic numbers.

Your first sentence is especially rich with your own projection.
