But Fred, even in February, when it was clear what this virus truly was, Trump was still sending out "optimistic" messages. If he didn't know what was coming, then he is truly incompetent. If he did know, he was at best negligent.
Koobookie,
I love your car analogy but you left out some pertinent details, but perhaps that is what you do when you take your own auto to a mechanic.
When bringing this car to the mechanic did you tell him that your Uncle Joe and his buddy Barry, were "maintaining" the vehicle for you, for the previous 8 years? He takes you at your word that the car has been serviced. Putting the car on the lift for the oil change he sees that the tires and bald and underinflated, there is no spare tire. The leak in the radiator has been long standing, when he asked you if you noticed any fluids on the garage floor, you respond, Uncle Joe never told me. Need I go on.
You asked to be provided with facts, President Trump daily presents the Johns Hop[kins data. What "facts" are being omitted? What models proffer are not facts, there are suppositions. To wit, today the Univ of Washington IHME modelers revised their predictions of mortality downward, from 93K to 81K "is that a " fact"?
I appreciate that your unbridled dislike of President Trump will not be changed by anything that I or others say. However, your parroting of CNN, though laughable, should not go unchallenged.
What I can offer you is my ticket to New Zealand, which Comey passed on to me. Fox Glacier, NZ is remarkably similar to Colorado, but be careful they drive on the "wrong" side of the road, especially with those tires and no spare.
LOL I was listening to progressive radio on Sirus XM earlier. The host (not a doctor) on the one hand criticized the president (not a doctor) for "prescribing the drug and on the other had criticized doctors for prescribing the drug incorrectly.
I guess he values Trump hatred more than he values not sounding stupid.

Today, Trump was asked about Acting Navy Secretary Modly's resignation:
Trump, during Tuesday's briefing from the White House coronavirus task force, said Modly "didn't have to resign."
"I had no role in it. The whole thing was very unfortunate," Trump said. "I've heard, I don't know him, but I've heard he was a very good manand it was a, the whole thing was very unfortunate."
Didn't Trump appoint this man to his Acting Secretary role, yet he doesn't know him? Either Trump is totally ignorant of the head of the Department of the Navy, or perhaps he's just having one of those dementia moments?
Nah, he is just too busy counting all the $ is raking in by hyping hydroxychloroquine.
