Trump and Putin

SweetCaroline wrote:I will try but if he makes another totally outrageous decision that kills even more people, I will be shouting from the roof tops! The word for this man and his whole presidency so far has been UNPRECEDENTED and now we have an unprecedented pandemic. Trump always uses the words, best, greatest, most and many people think he is the WORST president ever! God help us all!

you've done it again! - don't "try"
just agree to stop - completely. ffs - it's a few months of your life. leave your campaigns alone, and actually help the mood a little.
stop now

footnote: it's becoming clear that you refuse point blank to behave like a decent human being - at a time when humanity actually needs decency. so, i've sent a PM to a mod in the hope this thread can be locked for a few months. fingers crossed that happens. because this is neither the time nor place for crassness, grandstanding and political gain.

The Republicans are unfathomably evil. They have $25 billion to save airlines, but they don't have $1 billion to save lives.

Trump's solution is to stop social distancing and get people to go back to work - during a global pandemic.

This, on the same day the US just passed Italy in total COVID-19 cases.

There just are no words.

^^^ Exactly. I don't really follow US politics so can't comment on all the nuances of it but just from an observers point of view that's total insanity, seems the fact it's hitting his business ventures is the motivating factor to me.

The leader of the country with the most COVID-19 cases has stated multiple times that the stock market is what's most important to him, and is denying life-saving ventilators to NY state because he thought the governor wasn't being nice enough to him. And every elected Republican in the US is still standing by his whimsical choices that are going to result in thousands of people dying.

This is not political commentary - it's simply relaying what has happened in the last 48 hours. A direct cause and effect. This has nothing to do with political views. Liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and everyone else should be alarmed by this. Hospitals are being described as war zones. This is a matter of life and death.

When asked by a journalist to say something reassuring to the American people last week, Trump said "you're a terrible reporter." This is who is in charge of responding to a pandemic. It is terrifying.

Trump wants America to be first and now we are first — in coronavirus cases and deaths!

Brenski condemns me for being political during a pandemic but Trump is political and partisan and downright nasty in dealing with the governors. They must kiss his butt in order to get the medical equipment they need. Sorry, but he is a miserable POS.

I’m worried the presidential election in November will be cancelled like everything else that has been cancelled and we will be stuck with this a-hole forever!

Also, everyone says this is an unprecedented outbreak but Trump still insists on condemning the previous administrations and how HE (poor baby) inherited a mess because they didn’t have the right tests and equipment available before this. Is he really that ignorant that he doesn’t understand that unprecedented means something that has never happened before? HE is an unprecedented president who is trying to do a job he is not qualified to do temperamentally and intellectually. It has been a three-year nightmare that is culminating in an ultimate catastrophe!

The US is the third largest country by population.

America is not the #1 coronavirus king when accounting for country population.

Based against population, The US is less "incompetent" than Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Iran, Germany and France.

Every country is improvising, and of course mistakes are being made. Every country cannot be as "successful" as China or South Korea.

...

Brian May is a legendary guitarist. However if you look at Brian's ability to improvise along with Les Paul, he is "not so great" compared to Les Paul or Steve Howe (a la China or South Korea).

Gee, is that you "trying". Like i thought, you can't help yourself, even for a day to shut up.
What do you think you are going to achieve by calling him a miserable POS and an a hole?
You are acting like a spoiled brat, no other way to put it. You just want to rage and rant. Covid is your latest excuse to do so.
You are insulting the man, not even discussing anything. What are you doing at this time, SweetCaroline?

Donald Trump is a narcissistic spoiled brat. HE is using this crisis to settle political scores with governors he doesn’t like. He called the governor of Washington a snake. He told the new woman governor in Michigan to order her own medical supplies and when she tried to do it she is being stopped by the suppliers per HIS orders. He is not a president. He is a selfish dictator or should I just say selfish dick. He is going to be personally responsible for more people dying just because of his horrible ways.

Icy, you are wrong to defend him. He is showing his true colors and it isn’t pretty. Even Richard Nixon wasn’t this insane.

I'm not defending him. It's obvious that you hate the guy and that you are obsessed with him, that you can't leave this thread alone even for a day. You don't want a discussion or even a debate about him , you want to rant, rage about him and to blame him.

You are wrong going by your outbursts in here. That's all you have proven, is that your outbursts speak more than you ever could think, speak or even post rationally.
Not going to answer hate you are doing. Sitting on your ass in a rage posting shit and insults about Trump here isn't going to help you or anyone. Do something for once. You could start by at least letting this thread be for a month or so, but you can't even make it a day.

you are being political. he isn't. please learn and stop this now.
there's nothing to stop you picking it all up again - once this is over.
but seriously, someone close to someone who dies, may read one of your posts and take real offence.
try thinking of others instead of yourself at this time.

Do you watch him on TV and what comes out of his mouth? I am not making this up. He has gotten a pass for three years for his ignorance and outrageous behavior because he is president. But BECAUSE this is a life and death matter now, HE needs to tone it down and rise to the occasion. What I write in this forum is not affecting lives, but what he spews at daily international press briefings does. If this wasn’t a presidential election year, it wouldn’t be so suspicious that he is trying to take political advantage.

It is more than true that I don’t like anything about the man, but his actions under fire only confirms his shallow lack of an empathetic soul. He still only cares about himself.
