    Exactly, dagosa. (The Splendid Splinter).

    But, the funniest thing about this entire narrative is this FACT:

    Trump's dropping of the ball rendered the "preparedness" useless.

    I sure as **** should hope that the richest country in the worls would be the best prepared. i am not interested in how we are doing against another country, I am interested in how we are doing against the best we can be. Right now Trump gets a B- for doing the right things lately (basically the democratic playbook) and a C- for not being able to remain focused and concentrated and showing what a despicable human being he is. We'll see if he doesn't try to push the Easter Miracle he is promoting right now, and if he finally understands that the feds need to negotiate a country wide plan.

    BTW, the fake media doesn't believe is science anymore than they believe in truth, natural rights, or that people are more than skin color and sexual orientation.

    I’ll take uncle joe over delusional Donald, any day. Geezus, Hillary is a saint compared this guy who surrounded himself with enough criminals (6) they had to put the justice department on over time to keep him out of jail.
    Heck, convicted administrative felons are now over 100 to 1 in favor of republicans. What is it with these guys ? They never met a law they couldn’t break ?

    Sure, the media doesn’t believe AGW is a Chinese hoax and that Putin knows more about US intel then our own 17 intel agencies.....this is your guy, not mainstream news.

    The United States was ranked the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic in late 2019 by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS)


    Trump; “We inherited a broken, obsolete system"

    ?????????????????????????

    For sure...
    Trump has dropped so many balls we’ve all lost count. Like all his lies he overwhelms everyone with his incompetence.

    Other then resign, the best thing he can do, is go play golf during any Crisis. Nope, he has to pretend he’s an expert because, he says he has
    “good instincts.” Sure, I had a cat who had “good instincts”, just before he jumped in front of a moving car.
    He looked just like this just before he got hit by the car.

    Best prepared country to handle a pandemic, HOWEVER;

    Trump; "We inherited a broken, old, and frankly, a terrible system"

    Are you confusing 2016 with 2019?

    Trump also "inherited" a sh*t economy ---- which by 2019 looked nothing like 2016.

    Why not read what was actually posted? Why. Why make up something that wasn't posted

    Trump calls coronavirus Democrats' 'new hoax'
    “Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” Trump said at a rally on Friday.
    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-calls-coronavirus-democrats-new-hoax-n1145721


    If you actually read and comprehend, I said he called it the new D hoax.

    Then you can have him, just not for president because that ain't happening. Also, do you realize how many convicts that the Clintons have worked with and are assoiciated with? How about 14 in just one case. That is not including everyone caught in campaign funding in other cases.

    I read it but obviously you didn't. He didn't call the actual virus situation a hoax as it was being presented by the media. He called the way the Democrats and left wing media were presenting his actions was a hoax, which it was and still is. Maybe the point went over your head. Glad I could help clear it up.

    Interestingly enough, in 2020 it looks exponentially worse.

    Climate change has a lot to do with pandemics. Of course, anyone who knew science would understand that. So you’re excused.

    Do you have a link for such outrage and name-calling? Because I don't recall it.

    Do you have a point there or are you just posting pointless garbage to cover up the fact that you really have no point?

    Umm.... I'll give you a hint, it starts with a "C" :roll: Your messiah Obama never had to deal with a pandemic like this one, but go ahead and try to compare apples to dirt. (While we're at it THANK GOD this didn't happen on Obama's watch, this requires real leadership like Trump and his team.)
