DeSantis opened the State of Florida up.
Trump made no attempt to stop him as I recollect.
Prolonged shutdowns were a Donkey Party staple.
We weren’t as justifiably cynical pre-COVID as after.
COVID changed everything; it was a great lesson to the naive which Trump amplified rather than inhibited. It was a calculated approach. The overall stakes are larger than any pandemic. Trump is playing above the heads of the media and his enemies.
Trump’s loud and bold promise to go after his enemies is a calculated provocation.
It’s time for this civil war to go hot and Trump wants his enemies to unambiguously start it by overreaching in their panic to stop him. Which panic he intends to stoke to white hot. He’ll keep ramping up the provocations until they make a fatal mistake. Shouldn’t be very long now.
This is obviously a Rhonda Santis shill pretending not to be one.
We see through the BS easily though. No one wants to hear about COVID anymore. Fauci was forced out, the mandates are over, it’s water under the bridge. Everyone made mistakes, including Rhonda who shut down Florida while only Kristi Noem kept her state open.
Can the author name a Republican who would have acted differently in Trump’s place? The vast scope of the COVID conspiracy is still mind-boggling. Maybe next time Schwab and Soros pull this stunt they will be greeted with the appropriate level of scornful skepticism, but in 2020 they knew exactly how to use the appeal to trusted authority to their advantage.
I like gas better at 95 cents in the 90’s. Why not go back to that? We have to settle on excitement over 2 dollars a gallon?
He should take a page out of the Clinton playbook. It depends on what the definition of is, is.
The writer is pure idiot and his friend is normal
Many freepers excoriated the posters here who didn’t fall for the hype back in 2020. I expected better of them.
Deep State.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
“Does Trump’s Shutdown Decision Disqualify a Future Presidency?”
The question REALLY is... Does Trump’s Shutdown Decision Disqualify a Future Republican Presidency?
I thought this was a discussion bout current politics.
But you do make a good point, which is that if it were not for the aptly named dims, gas would not even cost 95 cents.
And a pickup truck would not cost $90,000
Read paragraph 4.
With very few exceptions, every world leader did the same.
And the idiots who wore masks, including your “friendly” doctor who had more reason to see the truth than Trump.
By the way, have you fired your doctor and picketed your local hospital? They are the real scoundrels in the wu-flu scam. They are your local Hunter Biden who allowed their personal greed to kill their patriotism....and a few million people.
So with the entire world in a panic you need to imagine yourself in his shoes, damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
I doubt that you understand that kind of pressure.
In short, the decision I made was easy for me. No one gives a damn what I do so very little pressure. Trump had more than half of the country hysterically screaming “Do something”.
If the democrats get away this sham
Future Presidency = Tsars
Typical never Trump Red state junk talk. 🙄
Not buying it, Manic.
Utter nonsense, Manic.
Trump’s ‘mistake’ was finding himself against a vast array of embedded deep state bureaucrats and appointees-gone-career track and not having a worthy fighting team (his appointees and hires) to fight back.
If anything, he chose his nominations and appointments badly. He believed the lies they told him (Pence is the prima facia example), IMO.
I think he knows this now and I dearly want to see him do it over by winning 2024.
Of course all we can listen to is crooked Jack Smith,Trump has every right to defend himself
