bring in Biden
Legit question to liberal, democratic Scoopers:What exactly would you want our President to do right now, that you believe is not being done to help all Americans get through the pandemic and its economic fallout?
Long ass wait, Mother Goose
Myself and many friends caught it. It's like a very mild flu - headache, body ache, low grade fever, dry cough, and lethargy. We were all told that if there was a temperature spike or shortness of breath then get to a hospital. But otherwise, self quarantine while taking fluids and resting.We all stayed home while continuing our work productivity. If you are fit, healthy, and maintain situational awareness it is the same as managing a cold. The elderly and those with immunity issues are the ones at risk.The degree of hysteria around this is decidedly over the top.
John Prine critical. On ventilator.
I would like to see trump become the face of the response. Proactive - get ahead - get accused of doing too much on the health response side. BTW - this is happening on the economic side. So don’t fault the admin one bit for the first waves. PS the thing he plays up as being proactive (China travel) was done by my company well prior. In fact we shut off global and domestic travel way before. It’s these things that seemed drastic at the time but now seem appropriate on the health side that I would like more examples of.
?What Trump needs to do is step aside and let the people that know what they are doing and saying do their job and handle the briefings and interviews. We all know that isn't going to happen. So it is very simple, don't televise the daily briefings. Only later show on television and online the honest, helpful, and accurate information. Today for example, he denied saying NYC didn't need the quantity of ventilators they asked for. Fauci said they do need them. So tonight Trump says he never said that. It's on video for the world to see. This happens daily. It doesn't help anyone and often times makes the situation much worse and more dangerous unnecessarily.
Goose, Keefe and 4ever:What do you think he has done well, and not so well?
This.I don't hung up on the press conference ratings tweets. That's is who he is and irrelevent to the issue at hand. But telling people we are in a war at one point, then saying a couple days later that he wants everything back open by Easter is at best sending mixed signals. At worst it validates what his harshest critics say about his attention span and his attention to detail.His administration took awhile to get going, but it is doing a number of very good things now. But here is what he should do. Tell the governors to shut stuff down. Tell Americans to help one another, that the government will help in the short run and show that we can be the City on the Hill.IMO, if he would lead in his way, he would be a shoo-in in November. I have no doubt about that.
Irony
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. Where is our president? Oh, he needs to get out of the way...he needs to listen to the “experts”, blah blahThere are many things he didn’t say that they say he did say. He’s trying to be upbeat. Everyone needs to use a little critical thinking instead of laying on his every word. How many times do we need to hear, wash your hands, keep safe distances, stay at home if you can...?? The people here who do not like this admin, there is nothing, let me repeat, NOTHING he can say or do to change their minds about him. So if you are in this category, get a squeeze ball, try yoga, meditate, and take care of yourselves cuz the president obviously is doing nothing more for you than p!ssing ya off anyway. Don’t watch anymore news, ya know what to do-wash your hands, practice....when this all starts subsiding(hopefully soon) ya’ll will know.
I've heard two stories this week of Trump slurpers who said they are completely done with him after this. One is a medical worker reusing masks and the other has a Trump flag in his office and ripped down stating he's killing people.Both indicated they are either voting Biden or not at all.
