Trump’s Lost Months Are Killing Us. Here’s How to Make Them Politically Fatal for Him. (Barf Alert)
Yahoo News ^ | April 4,2020 | Jonathan Alter

Posted on 04/06/2020 5:19:33 PM PDT by GLH3IL

Instead we must tar Trump with his lack of preparedness the way “the emails” were stuck to Hillary Clinton in 2016, “the hostages” to Jimmy Carter in 1980, “the pardon” to Gerald Ford in 1976, and “Hoovervilles” to Herbert Hoover in 1932.

So what should the frame be? I’m partial to a headline in the March 28 New York Times: “The Lost Month: How a Failure to Test Blinded the U.S. to Covid-19.” The article detailed how testing screw-ups (by a still-unnamed pharmaceutical company) and bureaucratic bumbling led the government to lose the critical weeks it needed to get on top of testing the way China, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Germany and other nations have.

This kind of crap is always out there. Best advice is to avoid Yoohoo altogether.

Disgusting and blatant.

They care nothing about News or Information. All they want to do is “get” Trump.

The virus continues to be the biggest gift from the father of lies to the rats in a generation. Or so they think.

And, again, does this sound like a group that’s particularly concerned about a worldwide pandemic or a group that’s actively perpetuating a war?

Alter mentions bureaucratic bumbling in his article, which is about the only accurate thing he mentions. Yet, he expects that same bureaucracy to get the job done. Let them drone on. Never mind the president had to deal with a phony impeachment in that “critical” month. Congress obviously was never concerned about the virus in January or February. This will all come back and bite the left like it always does!

Lost months? Lost months? Schumer, Schiff and Pelosi caused more “lost months” than Linday Lohan when they cleaned the kegs out. Lost months...

Meanwhile a Johns Hopkins study found that the U.S. was better prepared than any other country. Yahoo is just as bad as CNN and the NY Time and Washington Post.

Most pathetic “news” article today. (As I’m sure there have been and will be worse sources of information) Way to be on top of it, Yaoo News!

From the comments section at link:

JoeM10 hours ago

After Trump in January declared a “humanitarian and security crisis" during a primetime Oval Office address, Sen. Chuck Schumer, speaking beside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said Trump was working to “manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration." Party leader Tom Perez also called it “manufactured.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., described it as a "'crisis' that doesn't exist." Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted at the time that "we're not falling" for the "fake crisis."

Early March: Queen Nancy was telling people to go outside and so was Mayor Bill and NYC's Health Commissioner were doing the same. Even the headline shows that this is just a hate article. What happened to just reporting the news and letting people make their own decisions?This journalist, and article, are prime examples of why most Americans no longer trust the media. The writer talks about the "GOP spin" but weaves a story that is so far out of proportion that just closes the reader's mind.

Pelosi wasted a whole week with the stimulus with her grandstanding.

Did that make Alter’s list?
