ColdWaterFshr Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I'd like to see our "wartime president" make a trip to the frontlines and check in on the troops. Give him recycled mask to wear and send him to one of the harder hit hospitals. Worst president in history and he needs to be held accountable for his handling of this crisis.

Certain snippets are hilarious, but to set and watch all that attempts to go on in between.....I haven't the patience. Trying to sit through an episode of Flying Circus can be a challenge, no question. But I get a big laugh out of a lot of their stuff, in particular the movies. And those guys are funny.

You want to see mismanaged crisis read up on Lyndon and his ships. I guess that's not an easy job and hindsight may not be 20-20 but it is clearer than prophecy. If we are to lay blame, honestly anyone engaging in Chinese/global trade or using import goods is responsible for the traffic that spread this virus. People building selling and using international aircraft are just as responsible as anyone- with out those aircraft it would take weeks longer for the carriers of the virus to circumnavigate the world, no pandemics in isolationism. Where is Mr Monroe when we need him?

MOPanfisher Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I will say the President is a bombastic, self centered bully who never takes blame for anything, HOWEVER I am amazed at anyone who thinks the POTS is or even should be the one making calls to hospitals etc. Saying hey y'all might want to be ordering some extra masks and such. The information has been out there for a while and wasn't acted upon by many. Which is a common failing in an autocratic rule system, well no one told me to put out the fire so we just all walked outsidea and watched it burn. Bushbeater and Daryk Campbell Sr 2

He frittered away 60 days (at least) of not taking this thing seriously. Called it a hoax, then he said it was only a few people and they would miraculously heal. Then he blamed Obama. Don't forget that he single handedly dismantled the CDC and claimed that he didn't. Then he said the whole thing was a hoax. He has repeatedly given mixed messages and outright lies and howlers in his press conferences which most everyone has figured out now are thinly disguised campaign ads. Still has no coherent plan other than to let states try to outbid the federal government for PPE, ventilators and other essential supplies. Criminal disregard and irresponsible behavior from the very person who should be leading us out of this. Terrierman 1

Criminal disregard and irresponsible behavior from the very person who should be leading us out of this. It all went down in real time. He shared his feelings about it at the time, and he wasn't the only one who felt that way. So a "best" president would have not addressed it openly at all until all the facts were in? The only difference is that you got to see/hear it unfold from the beginning. Your best president would have reacted the same way....you just wouldn't have ever known about it.
