If they blame him often enough for his handling of the crisis, it may give some people cause to give him credit for it, if there is a positive outcome. Can’t have that.
” in states like Tennessee, people rebuild. And as Trump points out, he flew over and they’re already rebuilding, not sitting around waiting, not waiting for some rich people to give them money”
A terrible tornado hit Nashville after Katrina, and everyone was remarking on the difference between how the people handled it. Katrina people sat on their asses, whined, and waited for the gubment to give them handouts. The Tennessee people said nothing, asked for nothing, and took care of themselves and each other.
Marie Harf was saying much the same last week on 'Outnumbered' on Fox.
People who think this way are scum.
Calling all Chicken Freepers. First the President and now Rush. Maybe you are smarter then either of them but they are not supporting your end of the world scenario.
The money clip:
GIROIR: The typical mortality rate for seasonal flu is about 0.1% or 0.15%. The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%, okay? That’s lower than you’ve heard probably in many reports. Why is this? Number one, it’s because many people don’t get sick and don’t get tested. So probably for every case, there are at least two or three cases that are not in the denominator. It certainly could be higher than normal flu, it probably is, but it’s not likely in the range of 2 to 3%. You have a denominator problem, and I want you to understand that. That only the people who are really sick or have symptoms come in and get tested.

Rush: lThey’re backing off of it because it’s not becoming the pandemic in this country that they were all expecting.”
+++++
Most of the Rush analysis is spot on. The death rates, for example. But the idea that the Dems believe a pandemic is not coming really stretches the facts.
The real truth: We have no idea if there is a pandemic in our future nor does Rush or the Dems. It is just too early in the cycle to make that call.
The rate of new infections is the U.S. and Europe are in the range of 35% increase PER DAY. That has to come down or we are indeed headed for a pandemic at some level. At this point there is very little if any evidence that this rate is falling.
HOORAY Chief. Thanks, Rush. (prayer)
Can’t blame Trump for an escaped Chicom bioweapon.
I actually think they are backing off blaming him for the disease and its spread, so they can focus more on blaming him for whatever negatives happen to the economy as the coronavirus plays out.
We should never assume they are just “being nice” or “being fair” to POTUS.
Or, because the Biden/Obama administration did absolutely nothing when the H1N1 hit, until over 1000 people in the USA had already died. That would leave a huge topic for Trump to pound Slow Joe with on the campaign trail and in the debates.
I have not noticed them backing off, at all. Just the opposite.
