    He certainly was right to downplay it in early Feb when nobody here had it, and he trusted the word of the Chinese, and was actually spending the PPE in hopes of containing it...no reason to set the country in a full panic. That's what leadership is all about...balancing the problems. Much like FDR downplayed the economic crisis that lead to the Great Depression...there is nothing to fear but fear itself.. Trump and FDR, true American leaders

    How about a straight answer since you are the one complaining about it

    Are you claiming that Trump should have come out and created a panic, that's what leadership would have been? It was bad enough with the runs on the grocery stores of necessary items and took months to overcome that and you think he should have purposely made it worse? And he advocates the mask wearing the experts have called for even though early on THEY were saying mask could make it worse and there is STILL debate on the efficacy.

    And BTW
    Biden walks back national mask mandate over ‘constitutional issue’

    Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden walked back his own call for a national mask mandate, saying he wouldn’t issue any binding orders because he believes it would be unconstitutional.

    The former vice president was questioned by AZFamily’s “Politics Unplugged” Sunday about his repeated pledges to use the powers of the presidency to force Americans to wear masks when he got candid about the efficacy of a mandate.

    Asked to respond to the governors who had appreciated President Trump’s more targeted coronavirus approach, which gave more authority to the states, Biden said, “Well, I hope you could trust the governors.

    “But here’s the deal, the federal government — there’s a constitutional issue whether federal government could issue such a mandate. I don’t think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn’t issue a mandate.”

    So enough with that canard.

    So you too believe the President should have caused a panic, a worse one than we already had? THAT would have been proper leadership and Biden would have done so?

    “Nothing to fear....” problem is... Trump didn’t say that

    He said it wasn’t real

    So the new defense of Trump is that he didn't want to create panic because that's what great leaders do.

    What about his constant fear mongering of ANTIFA coming to a town near you?

    Where was the panic in NY? We were getting slammed and it was scary as ****. Cuomo didn’t pull any punches but... panic? Nope

    Toilet paper shortages are not panic... and oh yea... I never ran out and know no one who did

    Trump didn’t have to make people wear masks, but he didn’t have to turn the shut downs and masks into a partisan issue. He did, and people died as a result. I disagree he had to lie to us. Sad you don’t agree.

    Yeah people going out and emptying the stores of all sorts of necessities and you think Trump should have made it WORSE..............what folly. And yes Cuomo played it down too and told people not to panic.

    March 19th
    Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, tells TODAY that increased testing accounts for the growing numbers of people testing positive for the coronavirus, “but that doesn’t mean that that’s the rate of increase in society.” He says that “fear and panic can get out of control more than the virus can.”

    Trump's not the only one on tape you know.

    What was he saying? He was saying not to panic. He also told us how dire the situation was.

    We understood and did not panic.

    How hard is that to understand?

    He didn't you and your fellow leftist have and had we followed Biden's advice there could have been MILLIONS dead. Sad you are too partisan to agree but do stop with the canards, your own guy has pulled back doing what you now claim Trump should have done even though he did not had the power to do so.

    He may not hate the military, but he seems to believe men and women who join are suckers.

    Trump did a terrible job of slowing spread of the virus.

    He should have followed the Biden and Pelosi plan and not had any travel bans right?

    Does that chart also account for what qualifies as a Covid case and how many tests were performed?

    Great leaders DON'T create panics and ANTIFA is creating fears of them all on their own with the help of the MSM and Democrat leaders so let's not deflect, focus on the subject of the thread.
