Well - if he knew so much about epidimiology - and R0 - he would have never made a false statement of this magnitude after watching it explode in China - stop being an apologist. Let the buck stop where it must. You're worse than an Obama supporter.
Chinese Virus

Chinese Virus!
That seems to be the prevalent opinion out there .. oy vey
The FEMA guy looks disgusted and angry at the press. He knows how hard the POTUS is working.
Title 32 Full-Time National Guard Duty
“Full-time National Guard Duty” means training or other duty, other than inactive duty, performed by a member of the National Guard. Title 32 allows the Governor, with the approval of the President or the Secretary of Defense, to order a member to duty for operational Homeland Defense activities in accordance with the following sections of U.S. Code (USC):
1. 32 USC 502 (f): This statue allows member of the National Guard to be ordered to full-time National Guard duty to perform operational activities. It was used for the Airport Security mission after 9/11 and also for Hurricane Katrina and Rita response effort.
2. 32 USC § 901: The term “Homeland Defense activity” means an activity undertaken for the military protection of the territory or domestic population of the U.S., or of infrastructure or other asset of the U.S. determined by the Secretary of Defense as being critical to national security and at risk of a threat or aggression against the U.S.
3. 32 USC § 902 - Homeland Defense activities: funds. (a) The Secretary of Defense may provide funds to a Governor to employ National Guard units or members to conduct Homeland Defense activities that the Secretary determines necessary and appropriate for participation by the National Guard or members.
The key to this instance is that Federal Law provides the Governor with the ability to place a soldier in a full-time duty status under the command and control of the State but is directly funded with Federal dollars. Even though this duty status is authorized by Federal statue, this section is a statutory exception to the Posse Comitatus Act; the Governor may use the Guard in a law enforcement capacity while the chain of command rests in the State.
President Trump continues to call it the Chinese virus for good reason. Not only did the Chinese cause this problem, but the president is setting them up for accountability. I suspect he will cancel the $1.07 trillion owed to them. He’s making it VERY clear that they are responsible.
Trump says we can finally fire VA workers
CHINESE VIRUS (TM)
Gotta Brand these things truthfully and well.
“I wish he hadn’t made so many wildly optimistic comments about this virus early on. They make him look like a fool now.”
Sounds like you are the one being fooled.
Trump firing “sadistic” VA staffers.
Not gloomy but not delusional either.
I think credibility is important.
I recall no such assertion by the President, ever.
He looks like ready,to cry, has NY accent
That's why we elected you President, nbenyo - because you always have all the answers.
nbenyo = FINO

Can we imagine Biden in Trump’s position? OMG...
I've been wondering if, when all this is over, the world could consider agreeing to have all countries' debts to each other just... cancelled. All of them. Half the time I think countries owe money to each other, and all that happens is whoever holds these debts are collecting interest and who on Earth does this serve? Maybe my view is too uninformed, but I wish I knew why it shouldn't be done.
good address. hopefully the press will now get off trumps case...
A number of threads on VA have had anecdotal comments about improvements in care.
I've been concerned about that too, esp given that only God knows what/with whom those enemedia maggots have been in contact.
I still think we've entered some kind of Twilight national insanity Zone, but we only have one Trump and I'd really like to see him stay away from those creatures as much as possible.
