The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode VII: We Are All Going To Die, Thanks Obama!

The focus of the administration is definitely on getting people back to work ASAP regardless of the state of the virus or the capacity of the healthcare system.

To me it is an extremely delicate balancing act that needs to be handled very carefully. Pretty sure they have just decided to focus on one side of it and see how it goes.

When I heard that today I was disappointed that nobody asked where these workers were getting their masks from. How many do they get and what kind are they? Surgical masks are pretty damn annoying if you have to wear them for more than a few minutes at a time.

Never too late to rebrand as the new Buddy Trump

I did not watch the press conference. Can anyone shine more light on this? Sounds really weird.

I remember someone posting that appointing Bolton put the o/u at 500k Sklansky deaths. You would think that getting him out without starting a war would seal the under, but we might get the worst, most ridiculous backdoor cover ever.

We barely made it through the 2008 collapse, purely an economic event. In that case there was a coordinated response from people with decades of experience.

In this case we have an economic event of larger magnitude, plus a once in a century public health disaster, and the people in charge have absolutely no idea what theyā€™re doing and no interest in learning.

Its like watching the cars pile up on an icy highway.

I really do think that when the wave breaks on the United States, Trumpā€™s approval numbers will start to go south. Itā€™s possible I am an idiot for believing this, but during Trumpā€™s tenure things have mostly gone fine, as far as the general public can observe. Smooth sailing. This is the first time theyā€™re going to be unambiguously fucked up. A lot of people are just purely results oriented on this stuff, they have this baby-brained belief that the President is a wizard who waves wands and makes things good or bad. They will be receptive to the statistics showing that the US bungled the response compared to other developed countries.

Like I said, maybe Iā€™m still naive.

I think so too, and hope Iā€™m not being a sweet summer child. Some people recently have surprised me with negative comments and questioning what ā€œweā€™reā€ doing.

Too bad the dems suck so bad at messaging. This was so easy and so predictable to hang this on him a month ago.
