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

“Donald Trump types who cant be bought off.”
Bought or not, he’s killing this country by supporting those demanding our destruction.
Well, you contact the president and tell him what he ought to be doing.
“Well, you contact the president and tell him what he ought to be doing.”
Childish response.
Damnitt man, shout at the devil...
(with you)
I only wonder if it is a dry run, or the real thing. It sure looks and smells like the real thing.
The scary thing to me is, if it is a dry run, whoever undertook it would be foolish to waste the opportunity that events and more particularly governments have created out of it.
If you will indulge me a mild thought exercise, this has a lot in common with the whole Russian collusion hoax. That meme got half the population completely freaked out. This one gets the entire population completely freaked out.
Just sayin’.
Well stated and I completely concur. These Democrats are pure scum.
...And Bravo!
“Damnitt man, shout at the devil...”
The devil has ears.
The Clintons have been one of the main allies of China for almost 40 years. The should be Julius and Ethel Rosenberged.
And he has an ass that we can kick.
People are seeing what socialism looks like now with empty shelves and businesses shut down. Now will the half of the country that is clueless make the connection remains to be seen.
So true. The GREATEST CRIME COUPLE in the history of this fabulous republic still roll. Unscathed.

They had him from the start. Only if he had weathered the attacks for being a racist and shut down all incoming flights quicker than he did AND overruled the CDC by insisting they get the WHO test rather than screw him over by futzing with a flawed test of their own, could he have stopped the “not doing enough” narrative. But then they would have had him for overreacting and being a despot.
Yes, I still would have gone that route, I say from the comfort of my bunker, but he at least is in his bag coordinating with the titans of industry now, etc.
Possible Solution:
Shut all nonessential industries down for 14 days... (maximum incubation time).
After shutdown open all companies.
Each company has people stationed at work place entrance taking temperatures. Those with a temperature are taken to medical care facilities - proactive care reduces extreme care - saving supplies for those who really need them.
Grocery stores and pharmacies also take temperatures of all people entering.
This saves lives AND the economy. Its a modified Singapore system...
“Our enemy is China 100%”
BS. The enemy is ourselves. We panic and destroy our own country. China isn’t closing down everything under martial law, we are.
WAKE UP!
Donald Trump is a profoundly moral man!
Examples abound. Witness his magnanimity and forbearance! This is a man who gave up the luxurious life of a multibillionaire to save America from the decadence of Western Civilization--at enormous personal cost and sacrifice!
Here is a simple example of his fundamental morality, though there are many:
He assumes that nobody wants that because it is unthinkable to him. In fact, there are people who would like to do such a thing, but it is incomprehensible to Donald Trump.
Those who question Donald Trump's profound and fundamental morality are allowing themselves to be duped by the propaganda of his opponents and enemies and are not looking closely enough.
BINGO. Spot on. I’m going to use this in my ongoing email back and forth with my dwindling number of demoncrat associates
Thank you!
Amen. We will only get the amount of tyranny that we consent to. Thus far we have consented to it all.
