Here’s trump calling a reporter “politically correct” for wanting to wear a mask.

Trump said that some people wear masks as a statement to disapprove of him.

Here's a counter argument:

Quote:

As for the healthcare systems you outsiders so enjoy and kleptocratic progressive statists Americans want to emulate? The reason medicines are cheaper than in the US lies in the fact that socialist medical systems in other nations don't pay fair market value for medicines, and that loss is passed on to the American consumer. In short it is the US citizen who is suffering from higher costs because you don't want to pay full price. One other note on healthcare, and this goes to everyone, if you think you have a right to healthcare, intentionally or unintentionally you believe in slavery, you believe you have the right to steal from healthcare product manufacturers, force service providers and professionals to take care of you.

Complete and absolute guff

Do you think the for profit medical companies are like... but... but... we're forced to sell our medicine at a loss to all of these countries and only America will pay for it!11



Also; if "America respects individual freedom a lot more than my country." Is true - why does the US have the most prisoners and highest incarceration rate in the world?

Maybe it sounds like you all should be using those 'sacred guns' to protect people from tyranny - for once

---

Isn't this just more of a point that America is a better country to be willing to pay for things that other countries are not willing to pay for?

A strange argument considering how tough it was to get Obama care approved and on the market. Usually the US gets torn apart in the health care department for being way too expensive. Why do pharmaceuticals need to charge for medicine? Why does the US have to float the bill when other countries won't pay such high costs?

---

Cause congress is dominated by profiteering lobbyists? Are you seriously floating the idea that the US is superior because we pay 1000$ for a bag of saline solution or 100$ for a pair of plastic gloves in a hospital?

You just said earlier that your wife is voting for trump because he undermines corona efforts.

That is basically the same thing as listening to trump instead of health experts.

Guess your wife is atrocious by your own logic

And if trump went around saying that mask wearing was some sort of panacea for covid, they'd be all over him

BINGO

Of course.  Trump should be telling the truth.  Lies are lies regardless of which position they take. 

It seems like you're so used to Trump lying that you think it's unfair to expect him not to lie.

---

I'm saying exactly what MagicMush is saying.  People would be critical of Trump for telling the Truth, but I wouldn't, because I expect the President not to lie.

BINGO

If trump said a mask was a panacea for covid, that would also be a terrible public health message.

BINGO.

At least koods is with us.
