His appearance has nothing to do with politics. Yes, he's a narcissist, but he has done great things for America. Despite the left constantly throwing shit at him, he will probably be re-elected.

The “left” ain’t looking so good right now...
They’re all shit though. This is what happens when money decides who is ‘good for the job’... there were no warning signs? I’m surprised things made it this far..

We had warning signs. We knew this was coming. It was politics that distracted us. We were distracted trying to impeach Trump.

Early my ass. Look at when this thread was made. We were worried about this virus at least a month before trump. Fuck what the WHO said, all the government needed to know this was going to be a problem was google and and a handful of people with brains and integrity

Didn’t Trump get labeled a ‘xenophobe’ by the lefties though for shutting down flights? Seems like the guy can’t catch a break. The ol damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario..

No. Liberals wanted travel bans. Koods is the token liberal here and his posts are represntative of what I see other liberals advocating. Many were advocating not onmy travel bans from china but also generalized travel bans. Some liberals were upset about his choice of words in calling it the China flu in the beginning, but that was only halfway because of concerns about xenophobia, which proved to be well founded

If you don't like the passport I am sure we can put the vaccine refusers on some sort of leper island too.
If you are vaccinated, how is the unvaccinated person a threat to you?
Because they can still spread the virus! Just because some one is vaccinated doesn't mean they are 100% immune to whatever they got vaccinated for. The whole point of vaccinations is to improve one's odds of fighting off a particular virus/bacteria. If a vaccinated person gets the virus and they are unable to fight it off quickly then they probably also can then spread the virus.
If there are a bunch of unvaccinated people running around the city spreading their virus because they are too stupid to get vaccinated then odds are that they will even eventually spread it to even vaccinated people.
Vaccination science is super basic. The more people who get vaccinated then the better chance of everyone staying healthy.
Nah, there's plenty of vaccinations that impart full lifetime immunity. There's others that impart full immunity for a period of time but need periodic boosters (like tetanus). Maybe you are focusing on the flu vaccine is which is kind of a gamble since they guess which strain will be prevalent.

So what? Apparently the WHO were right. It didn’t work. We have more cases than anyone. And Italy is number two despite banning travel the same day. I have no idea why trump brags about a failed policy

Being called names shouldn't influence a president's ability to effectively govern a nation.
People on both sides say and do stupid shit constantly. None of that changes basic common sense that even people on the shroomery had months ago: Look at what other countries are going through, look at what's working to help them slow it down, be proactive and do that immediately.
Instead Trump decided on one China ban on Jan 31 and called it a February. Well, that and play some golf, talk about how we were in great shape, ignore congresses pleas for action and more funding for the virus, and say he believed the virus would be gone by April and we'd be at 0 cases soon.
Anytime people make it a left vs right thing it misses the point. Anyone who defends a president usually misses the point. Sitting politicians do not need cheerleaders, they need to be called out and held accountable every time they screw up, which apart from the China ban is virtually all he's done. Even his state of emergency and shut down regulations are pointless when he's on twitter praising governors and protesters who disobey them... he just wants to have it on paper that he technically shut down so that he looks good to his supporters either way.

He banned China then sat on his ass for 5 weeks because he thought the problem was solved. That was the real danger the China ban presented. Trump is the lazy guy who does the absolute minimum amount of work possible.

Why did the CDC and Department of Health and Human Services do nothing? Aren't they the experts?
