    Yes, and only 20 have been opened as of March 11! https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-first-50-days-key-promises-d40e38b8125d1ab2b98661c9ba919238

    Oh, he didn't fund Operation Warpspeed?

    You didn't include a link to the source.

    Yes, because if Trump didn't do one single press conference in his four years, you REALLY would have covered for him! :roflol:
    Is he busier than any other President before him who DID do press conferences?

    Your legalistic silliness aside, the words "Trump didn't communicate with the people" were said by NO ONE, EVER ;)
    That whole mike drop meme was priceless when the Tan Messiah used it to trash Trump about "being president"... yep...priceless.

    What do Presidents know about pandemics?

    Trump rhetorically dropped the ball, right? Otherwise, what specific action are you saying that he should have taken but didn't?

    I don't think that Trump would have needed to have read the bill in order to know that something as significant as vaccine funding was included in it! You don't think that someone may have mentioned it to him?

    The term magic negro is not racist. Just because you worship Obama almost as much as Biden. Never saw the films the green mile, Bagger vance or the bucket list?

    Of course it is racist.

    As for Obama I think he was one of the 5 worst presidents in the history of the country.

    As for Biden, all I can saw good about him is that he is not Trump

    Nothing. Which is why wise on listen to their experts and do not assume they know more than their experts. Sadly we did not have that when this one started.

    The US and South Korea had their first cases on almost the same day. Within a week, in late Jan, the leader of SK had called together the heads of the industries involved and told them what was coming and what was needed. The result was when they had a true outbreak they were ready with the needed testing, tracing and all the equipment they would need. Their medical personnel did not need to wear the same N-95 mask for multiple days in a row. SK has had 33 deaths per million people. I would say being proactive worked pretty well.

    Trump did this same thing in late March. By then the cat was out of the bag and we were playing catch up, which was impossible to do.

    Trump should have also been honest with the American people and not hid the truth from us. They knew how bad it was going to be, yet this time last year we were still told it would be gone in a couple of weeks.

    Thus the US has had over 1650 deaths per million people.

    Doubtful as I doubt Trump would have found it to be significant.

    No it is not racist.

    The depiction of the magic negro in film and culture is racist. Simply saying that is not.

    True, simply saying it is not. Characterizing Obama as one is.

    Hope that helps

    Claim: Trump held 1 press conference in his 1st year in office.

    You asked for proof.

    I provided it.

    Which experts did Trump not listen to?

    Then you should blame his experts for not telling him to do it sooner.

    That's a confusing combination of "Trump" and "they." In terms of the stupid claim that it would be gone in a couple of weeks, that was specifically Trump, right? Meanwhile, Fauci was on national TV in late February saying that people didn't need to change anything about their lives. So I trust that you also hold him accountable too.

    as far as I can tell, none of them.

    Guess you are not a real big "the buck stops here" kind of guy.

    Yeah, Facui does hold a good amount of blame. He tried to hard to be the team player and go along with the official line. The government knew how bad it was going to be and did not tell the American people. This falls on Trump as he set the tone for the whole fiasco. But do not worry, I do not expect you to give him even one tiny sliver of blame.

    And that somehow translates to........what? That Trump held more than one press conference during his first year?

    No, he held only one. That is a fact.

    And now FOX has the partisan minds screaming their heads off because Biden has held only one prime time address in his first 50 days.

    Go figure.

    That's what it boils down to.

    It was ok for Trump to hold one appearance in a year (365 days), while they express outrage after Biden has been president for 50 days.

    Partisan hackery at its best, and all orchestrated by FOX.
