    He may have had more time to deal with the CDC had he not been fighting Nancy and Adams witch hunt impeachment. The fact he has been so successful to spite all the fake news attacks and false accusations is a wonder.
    The house couldn't even pass a bill to help fund a response with out putting Trillions to fund abortion and social programs to fund art and minority studies.

    Terrible idea trying to contain the spread to Wuhan China. He even offered to send a support team experts at containment same people used to contain Ebola but China refused or we may not be in this mess at all.
    Maybe instead of pissing on Trump you should save your shit for China. Where these kinds of viruses happen every year or two because of backwards communist leadership what seems you want for the U.S.
    Trump is the only thing that stands between a radical left party here in the U.S. and believe me if we fall will the U.K. be able to fend off Russia or China? NOT. So stop with the anti free market economy,anti Trump or do so to your own end. BTW you can have prince William and Kate back we aren't paying for there security.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Guess I’d hit a nerve, he sounds a bit angry and maybe unwell.

    This thread was about Coronavirus, not about Trump, so relax.
    You think the Administrations doing a great job, many disagree.
    Including I’d imagine the families of the many Americans that may have needlessly died.

    Buy hey, just one man’s opinion.
