    wow, the Trump admin thought people dying in democrat states would help them win the election in November...???

    would Trump let people die, if he thought it would help him win the election?

    To make Republicans look bad?

    I guess it's hard to ignore New York where everybody died.

    If you're going to shovel BS, try to not make your two sentences contradictory. Were they also trying to make NY bad, or were they just reporting on what was happening. Sorry if your tender feelings are getting bruised..


    Btw, we will be back to a daily death rate just like we were in the Spring.

    So, I guess it was the left wing media that shouted, "slow the testing down'.

    Got it.

    so now it seems the Trump admin let this virus get out of control cause they thought it was only effecting Democrat States and it would help them in the election, if true that is sick

    "Doing something about it" is the standard. "Dog Bites Man" is not news... "Man Bites Dog" is news. I've heard this old cliche in movies, that were already old back then, since I was little. I don't know when that became the standard to journalists. But it was way before I was born.

    but you agree if it's true, that is pretty sick of our President right?

    the sad thing is, with the Trump admin, I would not put it past them.

    have you noticed now that it's effecting FL and TX the right is taking it more serious, pushing masks, ect.....

    You mean that the plan went "poof, into thin air?" I would certainly want to know WHY it went poof, into thin air! It could be because it wasn't all that great of a plan! Also, how does this mean that "the Trump admin thought people dying in democrat states would help them win the election in November?"

    Well Even Trump is wearing a mask now isn't he?

    States such as Florida and Texas DID do something about it. You and the media just didn't approve of it!

    Yeah, that is a bit odd. I have to assume that a record is being kept - this might be a feature in the enterprise edition of Whatsapp, which would be very different to the basic.

    You are correct that I do not approve of stupidity like opening everything as if nothing were happening.

    Now we are suffering the consequences.

    Again, you're pretending that Florida and Texas didn't do anything in response to the spike in cases.

    It's like everything Trump has done with this pandemic. He is acting after the fact, not before. That's why we have over 1000 deaths a day and not 100. All of those dead people are because of Trump's inaction.

    The airlines had already stopped flights from China.
    The better question would be where was Trump when we needed a Europe travel ban.

    Where was Trump, or where were all of the so called health 'experts' recommendeding a Europe travel ban? As far as I know, Trump didn't reject such a recommendation. And why would he? He LOVES travel bans!

    I think Trump was playing golf and campaigning.
    Maybe he was playing with his health experts.

    Who watches CNN? Advertisers wondering why they wasted the money.
