Trump is Always An Insulting Attacking Control Freak with Coronavirus Reporter's Questions

[bubbabgone]

It's not about responding to hypochondriacs, it's about containing the spread of the virus. Look to South Korea and how they conducted their testing program. Using the tests they nipped this thing in the bud. Had we been able to do the same thing our economy wouldn't have been hit as hard. And going forward, unless we develop more tests, we will be unable to confront this virus in an efficient manner most conducive to long-term economic growth.

You are getting your scientific advice from pundits like Limbaugh and Hannity who have no more than a high school education. Trump is a real estate developer and a television star. None of the people you look towards for advice or guidance have any idea what they are talking about.

But you do you, and I'll do me. Have fun licking toilets, or whatever the heck it is you do in between brainwashing yourself with pro-Trump propaganda.

South Korea is the size of Virginia with a population 1/7 of ours and isn't a Republic of 50 States.
The rest of your comment was what an incoherent argument from a political partisan looks like.

You don't respond to a pandemic by giving tests to hypochondriacs. Except in instances where you might need to shut them up. Is that what you're shooting for?
Tell ya what ... come on over. I'll shove a swab up your nose and send the results to the CDC. I already have the results printed out and hooray, it's negative.

You don't respond to a pandemic in the slow-witted, ignorant way our federal government responsed to Covid-19.
Trump and so many other bubbas who know it all won't listen to trained experts. Their BS is shoving dead bodies into an increasing number of body bags, coffins and urns.
That includes a host of state governors who dragged their feet for weeks before finally shutting down biz as usual.

SBA is an agency of the executive branch, Trump is the chief executive of the executive branch. When something fails in the executive branch it is ultimately Trump's fault. The reporter asked a question about a program being administered by the SBA. The question was appropriate. The reason why Trump acted the way he did is that he knows the Paycheck Protection Program is not being managed well.

Also, as a courtesy reminder for all the Hannity watchers: Clinton is not the President and Obama has not been the President for 3.5 years. If something is currently broken within the executive branch we can quite appropriately pin the blame on the current occupant of the office.

Have you applied for the PPA? I have and had no problem. You are just bitching because you hate Trump not because you have any legitimate grievance.

As to your second point, where were you during the Obama years? He spent 8 years blaming anything that went wrong on Bush and Ill bet you were silent.

The trained experts have given us models that show 240,000 will die and actions were taken based on that.
How does that look now?

 

[Old 'N Chill]

Sad that such an insecure, bombastic moron leads the world's largest economy and military.
We can make America great again. But we need a majority of Electoral College votes to get it done come November.

I agree, very true.

There is a reason for that. The experts working for Trump might know more about this issue than Trump.



With respect to the OP, the question was legitimate, concerned an important current issue for which Trump was ultimately responsible for, and Trump's attack on the reporter was completely unwarranted.

There is nothing in your diatribe that changes that.

It's possible that both issues are right. It's possible that there is not yet any money in the hands of those that need it and that the question was asked in a snide manner.

The CARES Act was passed on March 27. Translating a passed act into real world action takes time.

For comparison, in a similar situation after the "Great Recession", the Stimulus Checks that went out were sent in May. That is about 3 months after the ARRA was passed on February 17 that year.

If the checks from this program hit the streets within a couple weeks, that sounds pretty quick. This comparison was notably absent from her question. Makes you wonder why.

Might it have been possible for the reporter to have had even the slightest perspective and maybe asked the question comparing the speed of the issue of checks this go-round with the speed of the issue of checks on that previous, similar occasion?

1. I was referring to the paycheck protection program (PPP).

2. The federal government has the power to coordinate a national response to a global pandemic but failed to do so competently in the present case. Why can't you simply accept the fact that Trump messed up?

Sorry. The issue of PPE was so hot recently, it clouded my understanding.

Trump has been acting and reacting according to the best advice from folks that are presented and recognized as experts.

The WHO issued advice in mid January saying that the Chinese had the problem contained and that the virus could not be passed along person to person anyway.

This advice was wrong. Dead wrong.

There is a whole bunch of talk that the Chinese lied and are still lying about what they knew about the virus. In Wuhan, the morticians are filling tens of thousands of Funerary urns to dispose of the remains of 3500 people.

There are questions on exactly why the WHO passed along advice that was so wrong.

The FEDERAL government has the authority to do not much within the sates. The Governors are the folks who run the states.

Trump has coordinated the response and is continuing to do it. Coordinating the response is what he is doing. Making the response is what the Governors are supposed to be doing. FEDERALISM! Learn it!

While the Democrat-Socialists and their media stenographers were enjoying their impeachment Circle Jerk, Trump was sounding the Alarm that they were ignoring.

He mentioned this in his State of the Union that Pelosi actually tore up. WTF?

In JANUARY Trump said something in the SOTU, formed the Coronavirus Task Force, issued a National Health Emergency and restricted China Travel.

Those that resist Trump, resisted Trump. For his efforts, he was called a racist, a xenophobe, a reactionary and, of course, stupid.

Now those that resisted Trump are angry because he didn't exert dictatorial power to overcome their mindless, poorly advised, ignorant resistance that they reflexively default to on anything that is connected to Trump.

RU Kidding Me?

The question was not asked in a snide manner, watch the press conference. And, it wouldn't matter if the question were asked in a snide manner. It's not Trump's responsibility to react like a whiny baby to snide questions. It's his job to communicate to the American people, and hopefully when he does so, he communicates the truth, not BS.

No reporter has any obligation to phrase a question presented to the President in a way to make the President look as good as possible.

You guys keep criticizing the media. The media is not in charge of the executive branch, Trump is in charge of the executive branch. He is responsible if something isn't working.

Trump is the President of the U.S. The WHO is not the President of the U.S. Also, China is not the President of the U.S. Trump is responsible for how the executive branch of the federal government responds to things. China is not responsible for how the executive branch of the federal government to things. The WHO is not responsible for how the executive branch of the federal government responds to things. Criticizing the WHO or China is not a defense of Trump. Criticizing Trump is not a defense of the WHO or China. I know, as a Trump supporter, you want to look for things to defend Trump. Constantly referring to the WHO or China is not a good defense of Trump.

There is so much in this statement you wrote that is untrue that I am just going to ignore it. I'm tired of talking to brainwashed people who won't accept any criticism of Trump.

 

[snakestretcher]

The mindset of the member I was responding to is identical to the mindset of a person who would blame a woman for being raped.

No, you have no clue what that member's "mindset" is. Just like your pasts are clueless about most things.

Ah-ha!

So the reporter is free to be as uninformed as this reporter obviously was, maybe should say "is", and should frame the ignorant question as an attack and not provide any sort of historical context outside of her own hate-filled bias.

HOWEVER, the President is barred from observing that the reporter is a snide little editorialist and also cannot merely observe that common courtesy and journalistic ethics are absent from her statement.

It may interest you to know that before reporters create the roles of predator and prey, both are people. Treating people like people seems like a good move in most circumstances.

Of course, if your goal is to dehumanize for propagandistic purposes, the last thing you want to do is treat a person as if they are a person.

If your goal is to class the prey as whatever reviled thing it is that you want them to be recognized as, then frame your question to confirm that bias.

Reporting is what "reporters" are supposed to do. Confirming bias should be left to the viewers viewing their accurate reporting. As it is, the bias we are tasked to confirm is the bias of the reporters' misleading presentations.

Regarding the first non-response you posted, Trump abandoned the WHO as a reliable source of Coronavirus information and data shortly after they proved themselves to be agents of the Chi-Coms in January.

It was only about a week after the State of the Union that he rejected their advice, seeing it as propaganda, and started our internal response to the real threat(s) that the the WHO had denied even existed.

Regarding the existence of Federalism as framed in the Constitution, you reject the Constitution in order to attack Trump.

Interesting.

Base your criticisms of Trump in the real world and we might have a better chance of communicating rationally.

Never Trumpers like you are victimized by a warped view of reality in which any thing or person associated with Trump is bad.

Why is your thinking perverted in this way?

 

[snakestretcher]

And they've been crying ever since...

:baby2

Many of them don't even try to hide their anti-Trump bias anymore.
These clowns aren't journalists.

It wasn't journalists who started the whole 'fake news' crap. You think a journalist is going to ignore Trump for insulting him and his profession? Your idiotic 'leader' sure knows how to shoot himself in the foot; I'm amazed he can still walk, frankly.

Did you watch that press conference? Did you watch the question being asked? It was a straight-forward question about an important problem impacting millions of American business owners, and Trump, being the President, is ultimately responsible for the program that the question was being asked about.

HOWEVER, the President is barred from observing that the reporter is a snide little editorialist and also cannot merely observe that common courtesy and journalistic ethics are absent from her statement.

The President's job is to communicate to the American people about what the executive branch is doing. It's not the President's job to attack reporters when reporters ask questions the President doesn't like or ask questions in a way the President doesn't like. In this specific instance, the question a reasonable question asked in a reasonable manner. I know you guys want to deflect criticism away from Trump, but Trump is the President and he is ultimately responsible for when the executive branch doesn't operate well.

It's dumb to harp on the WHO. The WHO has to rely on the help of various countries giving it information. It's not about the WHO being agents of "Chi-Coms" it's about the WHO being powerless to acquire accurate information. The WHO doesn't have any real power. This is a really dumb pro-Trump talking point.

It was only about a week after the State of the Union that he rejected their advice, seeing it as propaganda, and started our internal response to the real threat(s) that the the WHO had denied even existed.

Sure. Whatever.

The truth is you cannot accept criticism of Trump.

Never Trumpers like you are victimized by a warped view of reality in which any thing or person associated with Trump is bad. Why is your thinking perverted in this way?

I don't believe that everything associated with Trump is bad.

I do believe Trump is stupid, ignorant, and just generally a bad person and a bad leader. So, yeah, I am skeptical of everything he does. That's because he is basically a piece of crap person who lies all the time.

I do believe Trump should not be immune from criticism when he makes mistakes.

Asking a question is asking a question.

Framing the question with a 60 second diatribe to set a trap is different than simply asking a question.

Many questions in these pressers are actually questions. Others are framed like this:

Mr President, You said a month ago something based on the facts at hand at the time. Everything has changed since then and now what you said then is wrong. Don't you agree that you are a lying butt hole?

That is the format of the questions to which I object.

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And- -which is more- -you'll be a Man, my son!

Re-read the highlighted portion of your post. Especially in the context of the rest of the post, this is revealing.

Seems like the highlighted portion of your post renders the entirety of the post as biased, irrationally negative ranting.

The question you have about Federalism is interesting.

You seem to believe that the President in our system has powers that he does not have.

That is why Federalism is a topic you need to consider in your critique of the President's actions.

In this current situation, the President is rendering advice and logistical and equipment help for the the Governors. The Governors are the folks charged, under our Federalist System, with addressing the healthcare needs of the people.

The CDC, the NIH and the entire Federal Government are working to help expand the support available for the Governors.

That's how our system works.

Perhaps part of your disappointment with the actions of the President are based on your expectations that he should be doing things that are prohibited by our Constitution.

Do NOT TUNE IN during the time the pressers are airing LIVE.
Wait till they are handled in the news cycle instead.

Tuning in live, even if you are not watching or you have it MUTED sends data to the media that the pressers are getting big ratings.
That means we will be subjected to them every single day from now on.

They are his "virtual rallies" so by leaving your cable and sat tuned in, you are ATTENDING his rallies.

It's hard not to watch a train wreck in progress.
