Most Governors are showing increased popularity as many have scrambled to compensate for a disorganized and slow federal response. Trump’s is back down to his most loyal fans.


I've seen no evidence that Trump was warned and then didn't act. The way Gov. Cuomo was clearly warned and didn't act.
Trump was acting on the advice of Fauci (NIH) and Redfield (CDC). And those officials were demonstrably assuring the public, and demonstrably advising Trump privately that there was no danger to the U.S., right up till March 9th.
As were the entire liberal media. Who you lyingly don't hold to the same standard.
As were Democrat leaders like Cuomo, DeBlasio, New York City's health department director, and Nancy Pelosi on the west coast. Who actually encouraged people to go out into crowd events and get infected. Democrats who you lyingly don't hold to the same standard.
All these Democrat officials you don't hold responsible to for lack of preparation... but you hold Trump accountable, despite that the medical officials advising Trump were saying every day into mid-March there was no danger? Despite that many of these Democrats officials and liberal media people were railing on Trump as "over-reacting" and "racist" for taking the preventive measures he did?

You're a joke, M E M, you clearly have an irrational one-sided standard, that mutates daily to conform with whatever the Democrat/Media Matters lying talking points are being fronted on any given day.

Despite the abuse Trump took, he clearly pushed for more preventive measures than anyone else would have. If Obama or Hillary or Biden were president, there would have been no travel bans, no southern border security, no move away from dependency on Chinese exports, no private sector mass production of Ventilator machines, of PPE medical equipment, and of test kits to replace the ones the CDC messed up. And the body count would be a lot higher, maybe in the 1 to 2 million originally predicted. THANK GOD Obama or Hillary were not president when this happened!

Trump takes no responsibility at all and has spent hours on camera praising himself while rambling on with partisan attacks and misinformation in the middle of a pandemic. It’s all on tape and will be part of the historical record. I don’t believe the gop is going to be able to spin it.


The liberal media is clearly part of a zealous partisan effort to destroy Trump. They will never give him credit, therefore he has to point out in press conferences what the media will not report.

If Trump cites his own accomplishments, it's because of a liberal media that absolutely refuses to. They screamed "there won't be enough ventilators! Hospitals will be overwhelmed!" When these things didn't happen, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S ORGANIZATION AND LEADERSHIP, the media never acknowledged his achievements, and just moved on to the next lying talking points attack.

You're just a lying talking points machine, for whatever lying narrative is being sold against Trump by the Left on any given day. Trump has gotten us through the storm, and is balancing that with economic recovery, and your side is trying to destroy him, AND THE COUNTRY, every step of the way.
