Throughout January and February, intelligence officials’ warnings became more and more urgent, according to the Post — and by early February, much of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA’s intelligence reports were dedicated to warnings about Covid-19. But trump claims he doesn’t need daily intelligence briefings because he’s a ‘smart person’ All the while, Trump downplayed the virus publicly, telling the public the coronavirus “is very well under control in our country,” and suggesting warm weather would neutralize the threat the virus poses.

trump's dem hoax will soon come to cost him some serious money As the hospitality industry starts to face devastating drops in cash flow. While trump property manages have keep properties in operation. In clear violation of local ordinances ordering their closures.In obvious disregard for the health and welfare of its employees. They have continued to promote them on social media! “The vast majority of hotels that are dependent on business or leisure travel don’t have the occupancy to stay open right now,” he said. In the interview, Eric Trump explained that, unlike large hotel chains, the Trump Organization had the flexibility to make case-by-case decisions. “All of the associates in our company are family, and we are all awaiting the moment this pandemic is defeated so we can reopen and get back to work, running the best assets in the world,” Mr. Trump said. " inside its Washington hotel ... The hotel has roughly 5 percent occupancy, and 95 percent of the staff is not working at the moment, according to John Boardman, the executive secretary-treasurer of Unite Here Local 25, a union with 174 workers at the hotel. He called it a “real skeleton staff” in the same predicament as other nearby hotels. Over the past week, several Trump businesses, on their various social media accounts, gave little sense that something was amiss. The Doral resort near Miami suggested a Friday the 13th game of golf and a round of drinks at the bar. On Monday, the Westchester, N.Y., golf club showed off its 101-foot waterfall. And on Sunday, the Washington hotel invited guests to join in for “Dessert Night” on Fridays. ' "With free C-19 testing after the round of golf, or drinks at the bar" Sorry I made a mistake I just made that up. If you're uninsured you're on your own. STOP THE PRESS The hotel industry alone has requested a $150 billion bailout, which would help President Donald Trump endure the cancelled bookings at his resorts.

Keep those Swiss attitudes where they belong, inside Switzerland.In the real world truth is spoken to power.

trump's birth was a mistake.Excuse me, that was a mistake Drumpf's birth was a mistake.

Fixed it for you.

The thread title should be 'trump willfully inflicted coronavirus upon America' trump lashes out at networks, newspapers: All I see is 'hatred of me' trump praised China after coronavirus was announced " Trump spoke to CNBC about the virus on Wednesday as fears grow around the world that it could become impossible to contain. “We have it totally under control,” Trump said from the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Asked about the confirmed case in Washington state, Trump responded: “It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” Intelligence reports warned about a pandemic in January. Trump reportedly ignored them.

Sen. Rand Paul Workout in Senate Gym Coronavirus Positive "Rand Paul's pals, Sen. Mike Lee and Sen. Mitt Romney, say they're self-quarantining after hearing about Paul's coronavirus diagnosis.... how on Earth can the Senate gym still be open? Just about every major city shut down gyms a week ago, because they are breeding grounds for the virus. Congress is in the middle of passing a bill providing critical economic relief for people, and now we learn members of Congress are exposing themselves to major danger. One person picks it up, transmits it at the gym, and then Senators interact. You know the way it ends." One health insurance plan for Americans, a different plan for Washington leaders. Testing for Washington leaders, none for Americans trump assurances aside.Gyms for Washington leaders and social distancing for everyone else.

Very misleading. Republicans have been unable to smell stink for 31/2 years now.

Fixed it for you.

'The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree' The Pauls have the most mixed upside down, around and flat. Set of political philosophies that can exist in one place. Libertarian doesn't come close. They are trumpconomics on roids.

Come-on guys. First Rand Paul gets attacked by his neighbor and ends up with six broken ribs, then he gets verbally assaulted by passer-byes in a Washington restaurant. Now this! Here is an example of what's been directed at him. "If a toxic waste dump came to life, it would be Donald Trump. If a toxic waste dump came to life and had an air of moral superiority that was incoherently wrong on every count, it would be Rand Paul." So mean spirited, yet so accurate.

How Switzerland ended up with the second-highest coronavirus infection rate in the world Yeah best wishes with this worldwide goatf**k

ACA, coverage for C-19 but no coverage for cancer. Because cancer kills and C-19 is a hoax. Its all very ....republican... Jennifer Rubin: More Republicans Than Democrats Will Die Because Right-Wing Media Is Downplaying Coronavirus The president and his Fox allies played down the public health threat to an audience largely made up of older Americans, the group most susceptible to the worst effects of COVID-19. two weeks after President Donald Trump rallied conservatives to focus on the threat of socialism, his followers are splitting over the coronavirus pandemic. Four examples of how C-19 exposes the irony of republican thinking.

Senate coronavirus vote delayed after Rand Paul pushes doomed amendment and was the sole "no" vote on the $8.3 billion coronavirus spending bill the Senate passed earlier this month. Rand Paul now tested positive. In other news: Miami Herald urges governor to act 'like you give a damn' In an editorial, the board condemned DeSantis as a “timid leader in the face of the growing scourge” of COVID-19 cases, saying he is “working overtime to preserve our status as the world’s leading exporter of political comedy.” The editors also encouraged the governor to look to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) for advice on taking “decisive actions.”

airdvr thats exactly what Joe was trying to do. Otherwise he could have quoted trump directly from the day he was born. Endless ramblings about his greatness and importance, all wasting bandwidth and oxygen.

"Morgan Stanley estimated the savings of automated freight delivery to be a staggering $168 billion per year in saved fuel ($35 billion), reduced labor costs ($70 billion), fewer accidents ($36 billion) and increased productivity and equipment utilization ($27 billion). That’s an enormously high incentive to show drivers to the door – it would actually be enough to pay the drivers their $40,000 a year salary to stay home and still save almost $100 billion per year... Trucks that drive themselves are already rolling out around the world. Self-driving trucks successfully made deliveries in Nevada and Colorado in 2017. Rio Tinto has 73 autonomous mining trucks hauling iron ore 24 hours a day in Australia. Europe saw its first convoys of self-driving trucks cross the continent in 2016. ." Above story by Andrew Yang, yeah the democrat Yang. 000's of engineers and economics will drive(sorry for that) this industry. Anyone that has watched a self driving agricultural sprayer whip around trees, telephone poles, rock piles at 20mph. All while precisely placing its 90' booms within 2' of the obstruction can see the advantages.

Its still coming because the cpu, sensors, lidars, etc. Don't smoke pot, talk on cell phones, get hungry, tired, etc. Automated trucking, a technical milestone that could disrupt hundreds of thousands of jobs, hits the road

trump personally developing a C-19 cure in the Lincoln bedroom. Because he's ‘Like, Really Smart,’ a ‘Very Stable Genius’

Insightful, I wonder how long it would take for trump to attack her sex, disability, credibility, honor, integrity, service record,...

Imagine the course of of events with regards to trump's popularity and changing perceptions of trump. If he had handled this C-19 crisis as if it was a war that required real leadership. Had he handed this crisis off to either McMaster or Mattis. To fight this with focus, speed and resources. Then rode that outcome to the 2020 election. If he set aside self promoting narcissism to fight this crisis. Polls indicate he would win. How about that! and you're right I didn't. But trump can't change his stripes..er the color of his skin.

Thats not true.For America, imagine the course of events if trump had appointed Mattis or McMaster to lead the response, working with the CDC. Ordered to set politics aside with a $2 trillion budget.

Thanks for the more detailed response. I will try to point out a few positions in error. The so called MSM that trump supporters love to attack. Have to sell advertising. They have markets that they have to appeal to. Broadly speaking they have to appeal to the majorities of Americans. The center and to the right-left of the spectrum. There are no major newspapers in the US that outright support trump. AKA FOX. FOX is the only outlet that unabashedly will support most every lie and position he establishes. I agree that CNN will bash and attack every position trump maintains. That their journalists phrase their questions to solicit responses derogatory of trump, details at 0600. But they seldom lie. When they make a mistake in fact they usually correct it. They invite trump apologists to air their views. FOX does not. ABC, CBS, Time magazine, US news, let alone BBC, etc. To read your logic they all have journalists out to smear trump. Sorry to disappoint you. Thats not the case. IMO the hard core trump base, 28-32% of the US population will support trump regardless of what he does. Then there is another 25%, more or less that doesn't follow every twist, turn of Washington and media coverage of politics. That support him from time to time. "Put political 'stuff' aside requires an an ability to reach across the political divide for common objectives. Again and again trump has spoken about doing exactly that. Only to change his mind when his base attacks such compromise. In addition he refuses to recognize that all sides can be "winners" in a negotiation. For him he has to see victory in a negotiation.Or at least paint a loss as a victory. Instead of interjecting himself into the daily C-19 press conference. He could leave it up to Pence.To medical professionals. Thats who he appointed to lead the response. He could chair a daily conference with democrats and republicans. To craft a united response to the fiscal needs of America.The medical response that America needs. Unfortunately that type of leadership runs contrary to his objectives of November 2. Currently the election is the only thing that matters to him. It also runs contrary to his inherent need to have the spotlight solely on himself.

Here is a thought to consider. Iran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), i.e. the nuclear control treaty. With Russia, China, the EU(three countries) and the USA. They complied with the agreement, trump tore it up. As far as the UN, the EU, Russia, hell the whole world is concerned. trump and the US violated the agreement then tore it up. They violated the agreement by imposing sanctions when Iran was in compliance. Then withdrew from it. Iran actually complied with the agreement for almost a year after the US withdrew. These additional sanctions arose solely from trumps actions to force Iran into a new agreement which no other country in the world supports. Israel excepted. In addition trump has attempted to blackmail the EU over this issue: "The US threatened to impose 25% tariffs on cars to push Europeans to initiate proceedings against Iran for violating the nuclear deal, the German defence minister has confirmed. “This threat exists,” said the German defence minister, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, at a press conference in London. She was asked about an article in the Washington Post that claimed Trump had secretly warned France, Germany and the UK that the US would impose a “25% tariffs on European cars” if they did not activate the mechanism for the settlement of disputes (MRD) of the Iranian international nuclear agreement reached in Vienna in 2015." Some additional thoughts on trumps "maximum pressure": How U.S. Economic Warfare Provoked Japan’s Attack on Pearl Harbor. For those who have forgotten history in the mid-war years. Another story same subject. Oil led to Pearl Harbor

They have both asked the US government to relax sanction's and allow medical purchases of coronavirus related medical supplies. In accordance with the UN resolutions allowing Iran to purchase such supplies. This is aside from the IMF related $5 billion loan request.
