Biden not yet holding a formal news conference raises accountability questions

Like......with someone holding his hand or something?

Read the links. One press conference in a year. No mo', no less.

 

Read the links. One SOLO press conference in a year. Get it right!

 

Yeah. What's your point?

 

So you don't actually have any evidence that Trump ignored all of his experts? I didn't think so!

So Trump should be blamed for his experts not telling him to do something sooner?

So you're saying that Fauci was lying in February about people not needing to change anything about their lives in order to "go along with the official line?"

WHEN?

He set the downplaying tone for sure, saying how it would end like a miracle in five minutes. But this wasn't exactly a huge step down from Fauci going on national TV in late February saying that people didn't need to change anything about their lives.

 

Again: what other kind are there? Are there conferenced where people hold his hands?

Your partisan views are 100% obvious. 365 days is ok for Trump, but 50 days is an 'outrage' with Biden. This is what FOX has people parroting all over the place. They start repeating some partisan line, and few days later all Trump fanatics are repeating the same thing. Mind control at its best.

 

In Mid-Feb the local VA hospital closed a small 10 bed unit in order to do a construction project to turn it into a negative pressure area for the purpose of treating COVID patients. When this took place we all laughed about how stupid the government was doing a 6 week construction project for something that was going to be gone in a week or two. Turns out they knew far more than they were telling anyone else, even the other local hospitals. I have been told this VA hospital was not the only one to do it, but since I do not have personal experience with those I cannot verify.

Just Trump's track record.

Yes, I do believe he was following orders.

It was more than just down playing it, he waited 2 months too long to start ramping up medical supply production. But the downplaying was huge, it sent a mixed message with the states (some of them anyhow) saying on thing and the Fed Govt telling us something different. This is, in my opinion, why we today still have people that think COVID is just the common cold or no worse than the flu.

 

It didn't work very good for Trump.

 

What didn't?

 

Okay, so not only did the government know, but the hospitals did too?

What track record? Track record of ignoring the experts which there's no evidence he did?

So Fauci put lives on the line by not speaking out against the government just to save his own job?
Gee. You know, I'm not Fauci's biggest fan, but I really didn't think that he was THAT much of a piece of human waste!

And it was Trump's PERSONAL choice to wait to ramp up medical supply production? What the hell do Presidents know about medical supply production?

So the States didn't have access to the data on COVID? States STILL aren't relying on the federal government for COVID mitigation, other than the vaccine. So I don't know why you think that the States cannot manage things on their own. That's the whole point of federalism is it not?

So Trump should be blamed for his experts not telling him to do something sooner?

 

It's called a JOINT Press Conference, and there was about one million of them last year with Trump, Fauci, Birx,
and a bunch of other officials. Did you miss them? And I can assure you, Trump and Fauci were NOT holding hands!

 

The VA hospitals are the government. Do try and keep up.

Yes, he has a long history, even prior to the White House, of thinking he knows more than anyone else and ignoring the experts.

Yes, it was his choice. He could have done in late Jan what he did in late March, but choose not to. That put the country behind from the very beginning.

You missed the point again, the states were telling their people one thing and the Fed Govt was tell us a different thing. This is what is known as a mixed message and it causes confusion and mistrust. This mixed messaging that Trump felt was best is the main reason there are still so many COVID deniers out there.

Trump was the head, he gets the blame, that is the way it works. Even GW had the balls to take responsibility. But not Trump, all Trump said is "I am not responsible at all".


One more time....maybe a picture will help...

 

On million? Wow!

In 2019 Trump held ONE press conference. You have a hard time accepting this fact because you express outrage about Biden having only one prime time address in 50 days.

 

One SOLO press conference.

 

So the VA hospitals were involved in a cover up?

Okay, but no evidence that he ignored the experts during COVID. Okay!

There's no evidence that it was Trump's personal decision to wait to ramp up medical supply production.

So if someone in the government kills a person, the President should get the blame? And I guess Biden is responsible for all of the COVID deaths since he took office! The buck stops with Biden right?

 

Oprah makes everyone look bad, even herself.

 

The white house has already asked for the questions in advance.

 

They were following their orders to close a unit and make it into a negative pressure area for COVID patients. Even those at the hospital thought it was stupid as they were being told it would be gone in a couple of weeks. At the time it was assumed it was just the government being slow to react yet again.

Either it was his choice or someone forced him to wait...what are the chances of the latter? Was he be held against his will to keep him from acting?

It is not about a single action, it never has been. It is about the culture. If Biden choose to downplay the virus and chooses to withhold information so as to not cause a panic, then yes he should be blamed as well.

 

.

 

What was this eventual decision to ramp up medical supply production?

You STILL haven't said what information was withheld!

 

On March 18th Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to ramp up production of medical supplies and equipment. Only 2 months later than he should have.

The severity of the virus. Listen to Trump's own words in the tapes from Bob Woodward. It is all there no matter how much you do not want it to be. Hell, even when he finally used the DPA he was still downplaying the issue by saying he did it "just in case".

I just truly do not understand the abject loyalty and worship Trump gets from you people.

 

And what companies did that force into production? My understanding is that it was all voluntary.

I just KNEW that you were going to mention the Woodward Tapes! So when Trump said that they knew in February that it was airborne, why do you suppose Trump knew something which the WHO didn't?

 

And it could have been voluntary in Jan had they been told what was needed. The leader of SK told his companies in Jan and we had our first cases on the same day. Our leader waited for 2 months so the stock market would not crash.

I do not know what the WHO knew when and really do not give a flying ****, they are not the leader of my country.

 

Well at least you've given a reason why you think they waited, but do you have any evidence at all that it was so the stock market would not crash?

So you actually believe Trump when he says that he somehow knew in February that the virus was airborne! I thought that Trump was a pathological liar!

 

Just a hunch. I guess it could be just because he is ****ing moron, but I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He told Woodward he had talked to the leader of China and found out it was airborne. Whether he was lying or not is not relevant, if he thought it was airborne as he said it was he should have acted then, not almost 2 months later.

you can defend Trump till the end of time and it will not change how badly he ****ed up the response to COVID. When kids learn about him 100 years from now that is the only thing he will be remembered for

 

Were any Democrats calling on Trump to invoke the DPA in February?

You're assuming that he thought it was airborne!

Gee, I wonder why that might be. Perhaps due to leftist revisionist history? I think so! Perhaps inspired by the ABSOLUTE TRASH pile of LIES, otherwise known as the '1619 Project !'
