Trump is not your characteristic “Bubba.” He is a native New Yorker who relies on certain euphemisms like “beautiful” to describe various things “big beautiful economy” or “perfect” as in a “perfect phone call.”

Hard to believe he received an undergraduate degree from Wharton with “language” like that. I’m sure his “Bubba” stems from all the blue-collar workers Trump dealt with over the years. He wants to be perceived as just a “regular guy”to the masses. If you listen closely though, he will slip into “Wall Street” upon occasion when a reporter makes the fatal mistake of thinking he/she knows more about finance than the Donald.

I never watched “The Apprentice” and never followed Trump prior to the 2016 debates. There were many a time I just shook my head at what he said or how he said it. But again, you underestimate him at your own peril.

I can’t imagine having Obama, Clinton, or Biden, at the helm trying to navigate through this pandemic. If any one of those three had been in charge, we’d all be speaking Mandarin by the time the crisis was over.

Trump will deal with the CDC and the FDA at a later date. Timing is everything. Turning them against him openly at this point is a mistake. They won’t see it coming. BTW there has already been major changes at the FDA. They have approved things in record time that just a few months ago would of taken years to get such approvals.//

Finally a statement by somebody who has a clue.

FEMA as a centralized FED agency will be the same story. Whether an earthquake, volcanic eruption, mega-tsunami, coronal mass ejection, or giant meteor befall the country—the best option is nimble response from a local district.

No, he’s not the characteristic Bubba. I was illustrating the principle.

I understood you perfectly. I have seen this many times with people I have known.

Why is all of the US dependent on one lab? We need some back up. We needed an alternative.

This is why Trump ditched the whole CDC mess and brought all the private labs onboard.

They are processing millions of tests now.

You really should watch the task force briefings.

And if anyone is wondering the CDC Budget is $1.3B. Totally useless
