Shocking! ......... but honest

President Trump moved swiftly to protect vulnerable communities.

• The Administration quickly established guidelines for nursing homes and expanded telehealth opportunities to protect our vulnerable seniors.
• The President took action to ensure that uninsured Americans are able to get the COVID-19 care and testing they need.
• President Trump directed Secretary Carson to focus the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council on underserved communities impacted by COVID-19.
• The Administration is investing approximately $2 billion in community health centers, helping their 28 million patients in medically underserved areas receive the care and testing they need.

Early in the fight against the virus, President Trump launched a historic effort to develop a vaccine and therapeutics in record time.

• President Trump understood early on that in order to defeat this virus once and for all and protect Americans, we need a vaccine and therapeutics.
• President Trump revolutionized the clinical trial process to ensure Americans get a safe vaccine as quickly as possible, by providing unprecedented investments in leading vaccine candidates to simultaneously produce them as they are tested and developed.
• Thanks to President Trump’s efforts, coronavirus vaccine trials have progressed at record speeds, with multiple candidates already in or near the final stage of clinical trials.

President Trump responded to the devastating toll the virus took on our businesses and workers and secured unprecedented financial support.

• The President negotiated and launched the Paycheck Protection Program – helping save 51 million American jobs.
• President Trump secured direct payments to help the countless Americans who are hurting due to the pandemic.
• President Trump took executive action to give tax relief to workers, ensure unemployment benefits for those out of work, prevent families from losing their homes to eviction or foreclosure, and provide student debt relief for Americans already hurting due to the virus.

Understanding the harmful toll a never-ending shutdown would have on our Nation, President Trump provided support to help states safely reopen as soon as they were able.

• As we built out our critical medical supplies, flattened the curve, and rapidly expanded testing, states across the country were able to safely move towards reopening.
• President Trump ensured they had the data and resources to reopen on the correct timeframe.

As hot spots have emerged, President Trump has surged resources to impacted areas while enabling us to prevent another nationwide shutdown.

• The President has provided support to states facing new emergences of the virus, including surging testing sites, deploying medical personnel, and advising on mitigation strategies.

While the media and Democrats refuse to do so, President Trump has called out China for its actions to ensure we prevent a similar threat from arising again.

• President Trump has rightly called out China’s handling of the virus for refusing to be transparent and failing to contain the virus before it spread.
• The President held the WHO accountable for its egregious bias towards China that jeopardizes the safety of Americans.

He didn't do any of this.

He did all of this and more.

Believe what you want.

trump = EPIC FAILURE!

“Joe Biden goes to church so regularly that he doesn't even need
tear gas and a bunch of federalized troops to help him get there.”

he referred to Democrat Kamala Harris as the nation’s
“first colored vice presidential candidate,” according to reports.

Nah, that aint right. As a moderate I am all for a certain level of
decency and some level of political correctness, but losing his
job for THAT???  -- which was just a misuse of a word,
not anything malicious...... firing him is going too far.

 A reprimand, a one week vacation w/o pay maybe.

StumptownStu, KellyM_1964 and Fubah2 are right about Trump's poor handling of the pandemic.  Apparently, Chadebennett seems to confuse achievements by congress, state and municipal governments.  Trump brags often about weak travel restrictions which really aren't travel bans because thousands of people still travel from China to the US.  No evidence of any life saved according to John Hopkins university.  National academy of science found travel bans delay virus spread by 3 days average.  Historically, travel bans eventually become ineffective in preventing virus spread according to World health organization.

Right you are!

If one ONLY watches/reads right-wing-trump-cult sources like FOX,
one would think trump is the freakn' saviour of America, when IN FACT,
as you allude to, the real battle vs covid-19 is being waged by the
responsible Mayors and Governors and Drs. Fauci & Birx -- despite
trump's negligence and detrimental efforts to the contrary!

On February 10 trump told Trish Regan on FOX Business that he
believed "China would have it under control fairly soon. You know
in April, supposedly it dies in hotter weather."

Trump talked like the threat had passed when he merely closed the
side door of the house, while leaving all the other doors and windows
wide open!! -- Brian Stelter, CNN

Breaking news...

Trump's ex-Federal Judge sister
bitterly criticizes him
in conversations secretly recorded
by her niece Mary Trump

CNN, Sun August 23, 2020

Mary Trump, who has said that Donald Trump is unfit to be president and has
voiced support for his rival Joe Biden, revealed to the Post that she had secretly
taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with Barry in 2018 and 2019.

Among the some of the more critical comments made by Barry was commenting
on how her younger 74-year-old brother operated as president.
"His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God," she said, according to the recording.
"I'm talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories.
The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit."

Barry also said at one point to her niece, "It's the phoniness of it all.
It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel," according to the
audio scripts and recordings.

Barry said to Mary: "He went to Fordham for one year [actually two years]
and then he got into University of Pennsylvania because

he had somebody take the exams!"

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said Sunday the American public shouldn't worry about the coronavirus outbreak in China. 

"It's a very, very low risk to the United States," Fauci said during an interview with radio show host John Catsimatidis.

"But it's something that we as public health officials need to take very seriously... It isn't something the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about. Because we have ways of preparing and screening of people coming in [from China]. And we have ways of responding - like we did with this one case in Seattle, Washington, who had traveled to China and brought back the infection."

From ‘The Hill’ article Jan. 26, 2020

Fauci behaves as a scientist should based on evidences available.  In the early stage, Fauci is correct in saying risk is low because of a few cases in the US.  As threat increases, Fauci gave stronger warnings.  However Trump continues to downplay severity of pandemic until the truth can no longer be hidden.  Polls indicate most people trust Fauci far more than Trump on public health.

more inside info from family . this time his own sister . the fraud got a pal to take the entrance exams for him .

Maryanne Trump Barry tears
into her brother Donald trump
in secretly taped audio

USA TODAY, AUG.23

"All he wants to do is appeal to his base," Barry said of her
younger brother in one excerpt of the recordings obtained by
USA TODAY. "He has no principles. None."

"His goddamned tweet and the lying, oh my God," she said
in another clip. "I'm talking too freely, but you know.
The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit."

Barry, a former federal judge, decried what Trump's administration
was "doing with the kids at the border"

"No, he doesn't read," Barry said.

"You can't trust him," Barry said in another exchange

....she said the only things Trump accomplished 
on his own were his bankruptcies.

most of us figured this out long ago but i wouldnt expect his own sister to agree !

Convention will test Trump's ability to
explain away his US economic collapse

CNN, Sun August 23, 2020

(CNN) President Donald Trump's election-year economic record
looks extraordinarily bleak: widespread business failures, the
highest unemployment since the Great Depression, the largest
output drop in modern history.

Economic collapse did not cause (most of) Trump's political problems.
Disaffection with his divisive leadership and erratic behavior has
made him the first president never to reach 50% approval in his term.

Solid growth, low unemployment and strong financial markets
didn't keep his party from losing its House majority in 2018,  
or keep Trump from falling behind Biden early this year.

The US has done far worse than other rich countries in controlling
coronavirus infections and deaths.
The bill for Trump's approach is now coming due.

The coronavirus resurgence this summer has caused some state and
local officials to dial back reopening, dented consumer and business
confidence and slowed the recovery. Expected increases this fall,
as schools, colleges and businesses push ahead, threaten to
compound the impact.

will b interesting to see just how many times he lies to desperately get people to believe biden bad trump good

" Like I said I don't know what the WH and the president are going to do
with the issue of covid, next week at their convention.
How do you run for reelection when more than 170,000 Americans have died
under your watch while you have supervised the most incompetent, failed
response ON THE PLANET - to a global pandemic, that countries with far
fewer resources - supposedly far LESS advanced countries - have handled
MILES better than you have...... How does the richest and supposedly most
capable country on Earth blow this worse than any other country on Earth
with 170,000 dead Americans to show for it and possibly as many as 200,000
dead Americans by the time Americans go to vote on whether YOU get four
more years....How do you do that at your convention? Do you just pretend
it hasn't happened? Do you assume we won't know the record and you can
make up some new story about what happened that isn't real? "
