Our concern about Donald Trump in the campaign of 2016 was not about his personal morals. The ultimate choice to vote for him was made easier by the manifest political criminality of Hillary Clinton. And his emergence as an America First, America-loving president was a welcome relief after the apology tour presidency of Barack Obama.
The concern about Donald Trump was that he had no ideological core. His public political persona was that of a fairly standard liberal Democrat from New York, but one smart enough over his career to shift around and play both sides of the political aisle as necessary to support his business interests and ambitions.
But the problem with a leader with no ideological core surfaces in a time of crisis. He will display who he really is. Which may include a lot of good partsi.e., he may have the street smarts of a New York real estate developer, and he may have an insightful and creative mind for addressing big challenges. But with no governing philosophy developed over years of deeper thinking, he may not have that true north of wisdom that filters and shapes the right steps to take to protect America.
That surely sounds like heresy to the mainstream Trump supporter, especially on the surface of evaluating his performance in handling the CCP Virus crisis. Because on that surface, Trump appears masterful: facing the cameras every day, demonstrating a president in command; offering confidence that America will prevail; and exercising the far-reaching powers of the Presidency to care for Americans on a scale that no one would confuse with a philosophy of limited government. His use of unprecedented wartime powers is winning praise from CNNs Dana Bash, from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and from Squad member Ilhan Omar

This is exactly the type of opportunity the Left has been waiting for, to exploit and blow out of proportion. A manufactured crisis. Then they can stand back and blame it on Trump. It shows how much the Left has at stake with the election. Their corruption has a real possibility of being exposed, and they will do anything to prevent it.
“...China declared war on us while the China Dems and the China Media were cheering on Impeachment, before that, China was cheering Russia Russia Russia. Our enemy is China 100%
hey have been exposed
And yes, we were played, but worse, we were infiltrated by the Chinese and the Dems sold their party to them and well the Media. The enemy is here DNC CNN MSNBC are Americas enemy and are Chinas allies...”
Yep. Nail, meet hammer. This is exactly what’s happening.
It’s one thing for deaths to occur from a naturally-occurring flu virus. It’s quite another thing for deaths to occur from a nasty bioweapon virus. By the government response, there is now no doubt that we’ve been attacked with a bioweapon, and the “unwashed masses” are NOT being told the whole truth. Once this is over, The Communist Chinese and their domestic Chinese Monica media in this country need to be dealt with in a major way. They’re traitors to this country and need to be dealt with accordingly.
In the media he will, but not with the public. Thats why its so important for these governors to be getting their faces all over TV while they turn their states into East Germany. The people and businesses in these states arent pushing back against President Trump. Theyre pushing back against their state and local leaders.
Hope to be in Hyde Park on the last nite of Proms someday. We visited Bletchley Park, where thousands worked and nobody talked about their work for thirty years afterwards! Now...........!
“...Their corruption has a real possibility of being exposed, and they will do anything to prevent it....”
Once the worst of this is over, it needs to be made public knowledge and plastered on billboards, the internet....everywhere. These rotten, communist SOBs need to be brought down.....once and for all. They hate this country and her People. It needs to be made public.
Yes the ChiComs used a virus to attack, but it was directed at the world. We were not the sole country attacked, nor the sole country affected. It was a deliberate attack that was unleashed even upon their own country, because they were losing the control they had enjoyed for so long now.
Then Donald J. Trump was elected president, and the result was he shook not just the nation but the entire world. He had turned the world on its collective head, a true leader was back in control in the U.S.A. and this scared many nation players, but decidedly, China the most. He challenged China's dominance and unfair trade practices, which no leader of any foreign land had done in decades. That in turn emboldened citizens of Hong Kong to stand up against China's imperialistic designs, as well as, their own citizens to believe maybe the regime could be made to change even more if enough pressure was applied. With all these forces starting to align against the regime, this was their weapon to regain control. It won't work in the final analysis.
No one can play the U.S.A., just as no one can defeat the U.S.A. Either can only accomplished when we play or defeat ourselves.
The only virus that we let bring us to our knees.
“President Trump is not being played. His initial instincts on this that people should calm down and take reasonable protective measures to deal with something that is likely to be not much worse than a bad flu season were correct.
What HAS happened is that political considerations have forced him to react to a ridiculous, infantile public hysteria that has been fanned by the media. It really is a no-win situation. But hes been smart keeping the right balance: Take charge and maintain the confidence of the public, but let mayors and governors take all the blame for all the excessive totalitarian sh!t that is ultimately going to outrage the citizenry the most.”
Bravo!
I adamantly concur!
It’s the media playing the politicians that are doing it.
The Diamond Princess cruise ship... basically a floating petri dish of old people...had about a 20% infection rate and few deaths.
Love to see that shown MSM for just 10 seconds.
Planned.
Leftist infiltrated systematically,via lying and or cheating, every level of American institutions.
Whether it’s the media (which is a propagandist arm of the dupe state.. The Welfare System is get votes scheme, illegals, government schools,Health Care..and finally, our National Security agencies.
Once they are in these positions they control who is allowed in and who is not.
Can you guess who is not allowed in?
America has never been brought to her knees to the level happening right now, on Trumps watch. Not in the Civil War. Not in WWI or WWII, and certainly not at any time during the Cold War
This could possibly be the biggest load of shite Ive read in a long long time.
Numerous countries all over the world are having similar issues. It is not a plot to bring down Trump
BLAME PELOSI, ACTIVIST JUDGES AND LYING MSM.
They did the same to GWB over every dead soldier.
CDC LYING DIRECTOR REDFIELD whipped up the Fake OPIOID CRISIS, which has totally vanished from the news, covering up his 37 yr old HEROIN/FENTANYL ADDICTION.
Once the Internet and the utilities go out, to be systematically restored for certain officials, that’s when the 2nd Amendment may have to come into play.
Make no mistake, Trump, and more specifically the US conservatives, IS the main target. Without the US economy, the rest of the world will never recover.
They don’t want to let in conservatives, especially Donald Trump types who can’t be bought off.
We saw what spineless jellyfish Americans are when Boston city willingly closed to find a criminal and cops pointed machine guns at the citizens to search their homes.
We now willingly burn our villages to save them from a virus.
Summary answer: “Yes”
Great point. The “Shelter in place” and thug tactics of the “authorities” in Boston was disgusting. And they found the guy cowering in a boat under a tarp.
