You think career liars (politicians) of any persuasion tell the truth?
Occupational and pathological hazard of the job.
Say anything. To stay in the game.
That was my point

And I wholeheartedly agree.That was my point
These are some of your quotes from just the first page of this thread. I'd suggest you just stop posting about this subject right now. You and Donald trump are part of the problem and for exactly the same reasons. Nobody should follow your advice.
I can't speak to his motivation to become president, but Trump acted earlier than most. He restricted travel to/from China and got called racist and got slammed by nearly everyone. As I said, there is no perfect solution to this, but I honestly believe he is trying to do the best he can with all this. I don't see him intentionally bringing death and sickness to America.I think Trump wanted to be the President, because of the power and to carry out his simplistic solutions to complex problems. What Trump still doesn’t get is that the Presidency comes with great responsibility.
He was advised back in January about this pandemic, but chose to ignore it, not based on any scientific theory or statistics, just his own opinion. Millions of people will potentially die because he is a narcissist that thinks he know better than ‘scientists’, he is not doing his best, he is doing his worse.
I can take the blind idioacy.
It's the OMG,Hahahahahahaha.lol crap that is spewed out disrespecting anyone with a different view.
Toxic thread pollution.
I note the response to you, of that was like three weeks ago, how could I know. No acknowledgment of being ignorant and making a complete fool of himself arguing and mocking far more knowledgeable folks who tried to set him straight at the time.
Unlike climate change and other issues, this virus moves damn quick and has caught more than a few deniers out.
Stay well Mutt.

This is a tweet from the Democratic senate leader regarding Trump's decision to close the borders to China.. View attachment 849099
Okay, my bad. Nonetheless, he did get a lot of criticism for closing travel to/from China. So many people said after h got elected that he'd crash the economy, he'd take us to a world war with NK, he's in bed with Putin etc.. I think he's done okay and given his approval rating, so do many others. I've never seen the media so much against a president before, but I guess the true test of his presidency will be in Nov and whether he gets re-elected. I personally believe he'll wipe the floor with Biden, assuming Dems are dumb enough to put him up as their candidate.That tweet is fake. Schumer never said that. And fwiw I don’t think he’s intentionally doing anything. There’s no plan there, just bullshitting his way song from one debacle to the next. USA is going to pay for his extreme incompetence here and pay badly.
Did Schumer Delete a Tweet Criticizing Trump for Banning Air Travel from China 'Prematurely'?
Pranksters no longer need spend time with Photoshop to create convincing fake tweets.www.snopes.com

Have you seen any of his daily press briefings ?I can't speak to his motivation to become president, but Trump acted earlier than most.

As I said, there is no perfect solution to this, but I honestly believe he is trying to do the best he can with all this. I don't see him intentionally bringing death and sickness to America.
Edit: tweet screencap deleted, as its apparently fake.
Where did I say the above? Do not mis-quote me.‘but if you believe Trump is rooting for deaths and sickness, then I think you need to re-assess your thoughts’.
Not a single poster has suggested Donald Trump wants death and sickness - stop repeating it.I honestly believe he is trying to do the best he can with all this. I don't see him intentionally bringing death and sickness to America.
The ignore function has been my friend for years nowWell said mate. Toxic thread pollution indeed. Glad I'm not the only one sick and f....n tired of one belligerent loudmouth constantly spraying his often contradictory and sneering comments over everything and then being either aggressively defensive or mawkishly "matey" and sentimental. I suspect this is alienating many forum members.
You think the left tell the truth?
The US government's top infectious disease expert has made a stark prediction about coronavirus-related deaths.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN on Sunday morning local time that the virus is likely to claim hundreds of thousands of lives and infect “millions” in the US alone.
Confirmed coronavirus deaths in the US doubled in two days, surpassing 2,000 Saturday evening, according to states’ health data. More than 100,000 people have contracted the disease throughout the country and 664,000 cases of COVID-19 have now been confirmed across the world, with 177 countries affected.
Sure, the media does critique the president, but when 92% of coverage is in a negative light, some would say they have a bias against POTUS. If they could put aside their disdain for him and compliment him when it is warranted, many people would think of the media differently. Trump is by no means an angel, but he is neither the devil. He has actually done plenty of good things, but instead the media decide to focus on the negatives.I guess the difference in America is that Murdoch doesn’t own all of the media like he nearly does in Australia. (It’s concerning the way he is buying up local papers in regional areas.) The press actually does its job as the fourth estate and critiques the President. Here apart from the ABC who are constantly threatened with funding cuts, everyone ignores it. This government can get away with anything with the backing of Murdoch papers.
I can remember when a minister stood down over accepting a bottle of wine he didn’t declare. Seems a pittance when you look at Sports Rorts, Illlegal land clearance by a minister, the Murray Darling fiesco, Robodebt which is now illegal, notifying the ‘friendly’ press on union raids and raids on the ABC etc etc. I work for a not-for-profit, that put in for a government grant, how we found out we were successful was it was published in the Herald Sun, before we had even been notified!

Please outline the good things other than the low interest rate inspired economy which was not sustainable.Sure, the media does critique the president, but when 92% of coverage is in a negative light, some would say they have a bias against POTUS.

MD , Trump has gone to a whole new level.
He lies for fun.

I'm a former patient at the RCH who also underwent ECMO back in 2003. I think there were less than 10 ECMO qualified doctors and nurses working in the ICU unit at the time. Just wanted to say i'm glad your daughter is alright now, and that she has a happy and healthy life. The staff at the RCH are a very underappreciated part of our society. From the outside looking in most are aware that it's a great hospital. But when on the inside you sadly get to see the magic that they work.
I have stopped watching and listening to the news mate. Constantly leaning to worst case scenarios and scare mongering imo.
Trumps biggest issue for me is he tries to put a positive spin on every single thing he does and often gets lost mid speech and then starts his own rambling off the cuff dribble which never ends well.
But in his defence he has the vast majority of media against him from day one simply because they don’t like him. People can say what they want but he had the US economy in a very nice spot before this hit us all.
The treatment of Trump shows that in today’s world if you are not popular and row the accepted social line it doesn’t matter what you do, the left will relentlessly try to pull you down and ruin you.
A strong economy has interest rates above 2%. The share market doesn’t equal the economy. IF you print more money, then it becomes of less value and asset prices like share markets go up.
Non-Murdoch Media hate liars. Non-Murdoch Media hate Trump. Murdoch won’t allow his media to criticise anything his mates do wrong.
The bull market was in before he took office. The rate of growth actually slowed under Trump.A strong economy has interest rates above 2%. The share market doesn’t equal the economy. IF you print more money, then it becomes of less value and asset prices like share markets go up.
