When we quarantine trump, we must also take away his phone...
What the hell, I'm going to Mar-a-Lago
The headline statement was made by Lucian K. Truscott IV of AlterNet and is accompanied by the statement that, "Thousands of people are going to die, he knows he will be blamed and he can already see his campaign circling the toilet." But he's helpless because, the headline gain, "He’s confused, ignorant and afraid." And this moron sits in the Oval Office, the one that controls the free world.
Truscott says you could see it on his face last Wednesday night when he made his ridiculous and befuddled speech to the American people. I didn't watch since I have completely given up on the White House maniac that hasn't come up with a new, constructive thought since his inauguration. A quarantine would require a strait jacket and the men in the white suits, which should have been sent in long ago. A terrified man cannot run a highly civilized country like America.
“He’s an idiot. He’s handled it horribly. When things are rough, you want somebody who can exude confidence and competence and Trump does not do that.
“We’ve been incredibly lucky. For the last three years, there was nothing big going on that had a real bearing on the lives of the ordinary American. This does.”
All his professional life he has repelled the experts who advise him, who are rebuffed in favor of the attitude, 'no one knows anything better than me.' Here's his comment when signing the congressional emergency spending bill...
“We’re doing very well,” he insisted. “But it’s an unforeseen problem. What a problem. Came out of nowhere, but we’re taking care of it.” He gazed around the oval-shaped room, wallpapered romantic American landscapes, and took questions. Someone asked: “How do you keep people from panicking?” Trump’s response in part: “Calm. You have to be calm. It’ll go away.
It'll go away? It didn't go away in China, It didn't go away in Italy. And it is not going away in the United States. That is because we have two "idiots" in charge of trying to control this dilemma. This is not a good thing for Americans...READ MORE...
Donald Trump completely ignored warnings and the public's welfare in early stages of coronavirus outbreak...
Dan Diamond from Politico drops the hammer on the Oval Office lunatic in exposing his instructions to health care staff during the beginning of the coronavirus dilemma...
Trump was warned “the new coronavirus could be a major problem,” but “made clear – the lower the numbers on coronavirus… the better for his potential reelection.”
The word 'unconscionable' has been used at length recently to describe the actions that come from the White House, and it is still a more than credible description of what is and has been going on there. Yet, a Republican Congress still bows at the feet of this idiot with no remorse for their behavior. Pathetic!
Could there be worldwide drug shortages due to the virus? One example is the popular antidepressant, Prozac, which has some ingredients that come from China that are supplied to other countries to manufacture this medication. They are called active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and China is the lead supplier of these around the world. With the coronavirus outbreak just beginning to slow down there, it is not yet known if there will be shortages...READ MORE...
The White House is in chaos over coronavirus and the staff blames Mike Pence. It seems that Trump's number two cannot "get a handle" on priorities in order to get the process rolling. The reason for that is that he hasn't clue to what he's doing, as was evidenced by his incompetent response to an HIV outbreak in Indian when he was governor. It's like a three-ring circus since there is no one in the Trump administration capable of making competent decisions... READ MORE...
And if you can believe this, Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller wrote Trump’s coronavirus speech given last Wednesday evening that been deemed a complete wrecking ball to the U.S. response to the disease. To begin with, it "tanked" markets that were already in a nosedive and second, he portrayed the virus as a "foreign" attack, rather than rightfully taking the blame himself. The administration's credibility now looks damaged beyond control...READ MORE...
Old crazy Lamar Alexander
"Unconscionable" is what Moscow Mitch's Senate is being called for allowing Tennessee's Lamar Alexander to block the vote on an emergency paid sick leave bill because "the bill would be an “expensive” and burdensome mandate for employers." The Republican Congress continues to stoop to equal depths as the White House manic that is supposed to be running the show. And this plan even falls "far short of sick leave policies in many other industrialized nations."... READ MORE...
"Computer scientists predict that America will be in lockdown in less than two weeks as the country scrambles to contain COVID-19." The prediction is partially based on the lockdown in Italy last Tuesday, and should prompt the question of whether or not some of the computer's computation might have had something to do with the incompetence of the Trump administration in handling the U.S. coronavirus outbreak. This from Mark Handley, Professor of Networked Systems at UCL in London...READ MORE...
"President Donald Trump’s new European travel restrictions have a convenient side effect: They exempt nations where three Trump-owned golf resorts are located."
This is way beyond, 'can you believe this?' Protecting his profits in lieu of protecting the American public. Just ludicrous!
Donald Trump tries to paint a rosy picture of the coronavirus pandemic rather than addressing its real status and working towards a solution...
The White House dufus might as well have stayed in the residence and tweeted out more malarky rather than get before a television audience of millions and make a fool of himself. That, plus complete confusion on his plans, which seem to just flee off the top of his head while he's talking. Here is what he said...
The chance coronavirus doesn't have against us is already past the point of threatening the United States with over 1,000 cases and 33 deaths from the virus. And the fact that this is increasing regularly. T-rump thinks a travel ban will be his liberator, but as he implements band-aids like this, American citizens go untested. 1,900 in U.S. compared to 140,000 in South Korea. Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois commented...
"I don't think anyone is going to leave that briefing [Thurs. for both chambers of Congress] satisfied with what's going on with testing right now ... bottom line, you leave that briefing and we are not where we need to be and not sure when we are going to get there. We are flying blind."
With coronavirus now deemed a pandemic by WHO, Donald Trump is hiding certain pertinent info on the disease from staff, Americans and the world...
Just when transparency is the most needed, the Oval Office lunatic has decided to classify "top-level coronavirus meetings," where decisions are made and judgments decided that should be known throughout the government structure. It is also information that should be shared with the American public and made available to other world leaders to help contain the virus. Here's the scenario...
"officials said that dozens of classified discussions about such topics as the scope of infections, quarantines and travel restrictions have been held since mid-January in a high-security meeting room at the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), a key player in the fight against the coronavirus."
Reuter's reported, "Staffers without security clearances, including government experts, were excluded from the interagency meetings." An official commented...
“We had some very critical people who did not have security clearances who could not go. These should not be classified meetings. It was unnecessary.”
Hiding "the scope of infections" from those charged with maintaining control of coronavirus seems unconscionable in light of Donald Trump's completely inept response to the situation from the beginning, just adding more roadblocks to bringing it under control in the United States. According to CNBC it was...
"the National Security Council (NSC), which advises the president on security issues, ordered the classification. “This came directly from the White House.”
Only the "proles" can defeat Donald Trump in November...
By putting a lid on specific information, it could delay response to the crisis. It also illustrates to what lengths Donald Trump will go to protect his favorability rating leading into November. And then an NSC spokesman confused the issue by defending the administration's move but with a mixed reply on...
"transparency across federal agencies and noted that meetings of the administration’s task force on the coronavirus all are unclassified. It was not immediately clear which meetings he was referring to."
Here's CNBC's opinion of the Trump administration on coronavirus transparency...
"Critics have hammered the Trump administration for what they see as a delayed response to coronavirus outbreaks and a lack of transparency, including sidelining experts and providing misleading or incomplete information to the public. State and local officials also have complained of being kept in the dark about essential federal response information."
Gregg Gonsalves, a Yale epidemiologist who has been publicly critical of Trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak, tweeted Wednesday that Trump's order to classify coronavirus meetings shows the president is "trying to cover his tracks" as he continues to face backlash over his handling of the outbreak.
"Yes, Donald Trump has botched the response to coronavirus pandemic," said Gonsalves. "But classifying deliberations makes it harder for health experts in government without security clearances to be in key meetings."
"This is unprecedented, unnecessary, and damages our ability to respond to the pandemic," Gonsalves added.
In George Orwell's 1984, in the beginning, the government would pick and choose what information it wanted the Proles to know. Then it swooped down and they were surrounded by a world of complete disinformation, controlling everything they were to know.
