If this was such an earth shattering secret and if we would have only known this is how the president felt back in early February it would have saved 10s of thousands of lives then isn’t Woodward just as at fault by holding onto these tapes for 7 months to only release them right before his book went on sale.Did Woodward put American lives behind his own greed? Another example of our broken media.
RE: China travel. My criticism is that it's touted as a huge difference maker. However, months later it hasn't mattered one bit because we as a country have failed to take enough steps to halt the spread, and leadership at the top has fueled that.

Unfortunately this is just another blip in the world of Trump. Completely expected. Also agree, Woodward is happy this will make him some money and more notoriety.
My point is (China travel restrictions as the first major administration decision regarding Covid) there is evidence well before the Woodward interview they knew this could get real bad.
That may be "evidence", but there are direct lies from Trump after that downplaying everything. That's where the conflict is. It has nothing to do with being partisan.
No toilet paper for a month might have been a sign of panic. The panic was real in March very real
That’s fair, I’d hesitate to call them lies but a severe underestimation of the risk to the point of coming across as being naive to what was happening right in front of his nose.But again I struggle with focusing too much on his words/messaging in those early days because the task force was doing so much for those early hit states to give them a chance at limiting death.History will tell a clearer picture to how this pandemic was handled and what worked and also the mistakes that were made. Almost impossible for any of us to give an honest evaluation when we have no idea what the virus will bring tomorrow.IMO though these tapes are much to do of nothing other then to drum up some enthusiasm for another kiss and tell book.
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally generate d public health costs of $12.2 Billion.250,000 cases are believed to be linked to the rally, roughly 19% of all national cases between Aug 2 and Sept 2.https://www.iza.org/publications/dp/13670

To Bob Woodward on Feb. 7:“It’s more deadly than even your strenuous flu.”To the public on Feb. 26:“Treat this like a flu... It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for.”Not a lie?
His China Travel ban had many holes in it, 40,000 Chinese nationals came in afterwards. Beyond that, a personal story, my sister in law entered in San Francisco from Hong Kong on Feb 4th with ZERO questioning. Just rubber stamped in. She found the ease of which she entered to be very disturbing in real time.
Imagine defending President Pandemic’s response to this then accusing everyone else of being partisan. He’s a hideous human being. Always has been, always will be. 180,000 dead Americans are on his hands

An addendum.
Try to keep up Pakuni. I’ve acknowledged it hasn’t been perfect but imo solid overall. His messaging at times has been awful, his policies have been good and for the most in line with what Fauci and the rest of the task force was asking for. Fauci, Cuomo, Newsome, Murphy, etc said the federal govt was there for them when they needed it.So while I can admit his tweets and press conferences were not great, behind the scenes he was doing his level best to manage an impossible situation. Attacks like Trump has blood on his hands for the 180k dead are made by people who are not serious and overtly partisan. Is there anything you think they did right the past 7 months?

some on this board would like to characterize lies as "severe underestimation of the risk". So, some people say...
I’m sure you’re busy, just checking in to see if you’ve had a chance to review that Sturgis study and any thoughts?
Well honest people would say it would have been a flat out lie to say it posed no risk but by comparing it to the risk of influenza (which obviously has significant risks) would be an underestimation to the increased risk Covid brings.See the difference?
