“Trump has disqualified himself from ever being elected president again simply by virtue of that single, solitary decision while in office”

Where is that in the constitution?

And ic he hadn’t and millions died then he would be lambasted for that

We demand presidents be perfect. And then wonder why they aren’t

**************
Trump had the right instinct on covid, but he was soon drowned out by the “he’s not taking it seriously, crowd.”
That crowd included the whole globe, as information/propaganda was used to herd sheep in the authoritarian direction.

The Free Republic virus revisionists should go back and read the hysteria on this forum.

It was pathetic.

I see “Manic Contrarian” has to hide behind a pseudonym.

Trump has disqualified himself from ever being elected president again simply by virtue of that single, solitary decision while in office. And this I believe in the marrow of my bones.

Well then add DeSantis to the disqualification list, too. Trump's ill advised "strong recommendation" to shutdown wasn't mandatory.

DeSantis is responsible for his own decision to have a mandatory shutdown of Florida. He didn't have to do it. There were seven state governors who decided not to shutdown their states. DeSantis wasn't one of those seven.

At the time, he trusted supposed expert who told us Captain Tripps had come and we’re all would die.

It was a reasonable decision, short term.

After not that long, he should have fired everyone, as they were clearly liars.

This was at the bottom of the puke's insane creed.
Manic Contrarian is a bleeding-heart conservative affiliated with several industry and public policy trade groups, including California Center for Public Policy and Heartland Action. He's also a recovering politician and a defender of freedom. You can follow him on Twitter at @ManicContrarian
President Trump must be sent back to the White House if only because this vile turd felt entiled to write this filth.   I cannot wait to see if he lives up to his bleeding-heart conservative moniker in real life.

My Friends, this is 4D Chess again.

WHY did Trump go off and say that in ALL CAPS?

Because he knew they would go after him in court about it, and of course, if you don’t remember a TON of D’s on on record saying they would GO AFTER TRUMP.

So, then he will yet again show how they charge him, while doing the same thing only worse and before he did it.

Game. Set. Match.

Yes, it was Mother Abigail all over again.

We were all gonna die!

Feb -April 2020.

All that happened is we ran out of toilet paper for a few weeks.

The real villains were putting the Covid sick into grandpa and grandma’s nursing homes, arresting people for going outside without a mask, and taping off half of Walmart.

Yup, read two articles of theirs tonight and both are BS. Thought I was reading the NYT or WaPo or listening to Schumer of Cheney. They are no longer worth my time.

“You’re fired!”

There’s a video of Trump saying that to numerous people.

“I truly think we need to go back to Herbert Hoover signing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930, which caused the Great Depression, to find an equivalent level of presidential mistake.”

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was a mistake since the US ran a trade surplus back then.

But the Great Depression was a natural follow-on to the fact that people who recently bought new radios, new cars and new mansions did not need to buy more.

The 1920s boom was followed by the 1930s bust.

Unemployed people took money out of their banks to pay their bills, and the banks got that money by calling in loans.

Well, Mr. Manic Contrarian, it would be nice to know what PDJT was responding to with his controversial post that made Jack Smith clutch his pearls and go tattling to the federal judge. You somehow omitted it. So here it is:

To which PDJT replied:

“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

“President Trump agreed to shut down the U.S. economy because of a healthcare panic; the most important, dynamic, complex, and successful market economy on the planet, due to a bad virus, was Hooverian in its depths of disastrousness. And this, of course, also resulted in other developed economies following suit,”

Countries and in the US most states looked to and partially followed the Chinese shutdown model.
