I'm criticizing ignorance, arrogance of a President who turns sociopathic under the pressure of USA becoming the epicenter of covid-19 directly due to his lame response to the pandemic, ignoring the experts to produce millions of test kits, caught with his pants down as he disbanded the Pandemic Department under his administration, downplaying how serious covid-19 is.
Trump is breaking under the pressure, bullying Governors for appreciation when they beg for federal help, and complain because the federal help is coming too slow BECAUSE HE REACTED TOO SLOWLY?
Trump's slow response will let Americans get infected, people will die, AND HE TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY?

Donald Trump Is Trying To Figure Out How Many Americans He Needs To Sacrifice To Keep The [His?] Economy Going“
The whole concept of death is terrible,” said the president. “But there’s a tremendous difference between one percent and four or five.”
Ryan Broderick - BuzzFeed News Reporter - March 24, 2020
"No clearer was this utilitarian calculus articulated than by Texas Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday night following Trump’s White House briefing. Patrick suggested that Americans over 70 would be happy to die for the good of the country's economy.
“Those of us who are 70-plus, we’ll take care of ourselves. But don’t sacrifice the country,” Patrick said. “No one reached out to me and said, 'As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that America loves for its children and grandchildren?' And if that is the exchange, I'm all in.”"
Dan is a blatant liar! Dan lives in a rich man's protective bubble. He's asking less rich, and all the middle class and poor elderly to die so HE can benefit! Dan is not willing to die to save our country, or anyone in it, or he would not say this. You do not "save a country" by asking people to die.
Trump TOO SLOW, TOO LATE, DID TOO LITTLE WHEN HE ACTED ON COVID-19.

Trump’s Dangerous Messaging About a Possible Coronavirus Treatment

Trump signs $2 trillion coronavirus bill into law as companies and households brace for more economic pain
The new law amounts to the largest emergency spending measure in U.S. history.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/03/27/congress-coronavirus-house-vote/
Is money our best defense? Will this break the economy in 2021-2025?
It would have been better if we started in January manufacturing all the medical equipment for hospitals and medical safety equipment for workers. Hindsight is 20-20 admittedly, but lets put the responsibility where all the credit is being taken - the man gave himself a 10 so it my be Donald Trump who is responsible.
We’re not killing the economy over the coronavirus. We’re putting it into a coma. [More humor from Henry, like the impeachment slowed his response to covid-19. lol!]
By Henry Olsen - Columnist focusing on politics, populism, and American conservative thought March 25, 2020
"It’s too early to predict what the political fallout from a successful pirouette would be, but it’s hard to see how it doesn’t at least insulate President Trump from much criticism about the virus’s arrival to begin with. Democrats can say he should have done more, but the fact remains that no other Western leader did better to anticipate the onset of the coronavirus. Trump’s critics are not going to change their stripes, but the few people who remain open to persuasion are as likely to credit Trump as to blame him."
Three things Olsen misses: 1. there will be fraud, waste, and abuse in a $2T stimulus I guarantee will be normalized to damage the economy more than help it downstream, and enhance the top 1% of the rich in our country, 2. Trump did NOT anticipate covid-19, he REACTED TO IT; Trump did "better" by a variable standard, a sliding scale, you use to evaluate Republicans vs Democrats, Americans vs Europeans; he did too little too late, and not enough soon enough which you know as fact, and 3. Trump did not lead by accepting responsibility for results; Trump acted like his only "skin in the game" was his re-election, and you and your cult-like followers of Trump will "take a knee" for your King, but logical, intelligent independents will not kneel for a sociopath.
Donald Trump is responsible for 100% of the covid-19 response if he is going to take any credit for anything related to covid-19.
The next question is are there any self-serving, unnecessary and corrupt deals in a $2T stimulus?
HOW COULD THERE NOT BE ANY CORRUPTION WITH THAT MUCH MONEY?
I think Mr. Massie may be an honest thinker, or at least practical and realistic in this "stimulus" scenario.

Conservative lawmakers tell Trump to 'back off' attacks on GOP colleague
By Olivia Beavers - 03/27/20 12:07 PM EDT
Trump did not take action to order manufacture a sufficient number of covid-19 test kits, our first line of defense to know the "enemy," when needed.
Trump failed to order a massive increase manufacturing essential medical safety equipment and materials for hospitals and our medical "troops" in the war against covid-10.
Trump waited until 27 March 2020 to use the Defense Production Act to order GM to build thousands of respirators as hospitals and Governors asked for MORE ASAP, YESTERDAY SO TO SPEAK!
Why is Trump only asking one (1) Company to build respirators? Why not order Raytheon, BOEING, and Lockheed to build respirators? The trillion dollar bailout is going to these same contractors, so PUT THEM ALL TO WORK FOR AMERICA IN OUR WAR AGAINST COVID-19!
Trump's confusing, inconsistent, stumbling response to covid-19 made the United States is the epicenter of covid-19.
This is why we need to get ourselves out of this covid-19 pandemic without Trump. Only a sociopath would threaten Governors asking for more aid during the covid-19 crisis.
Trump says they should be "more appreciative" of his tone deaf, turtle-like response to the pandemic THAT MADE THE UNITED STATES THE EPICENTER OF COVID-19.
Before long citizens of the United States will have two choices: take a knee and swear passionate, devoted loyalty to King Trump, or be cast out of HIS KINGDOM to find food and shelter on our own.
President Trump is behaving like a sociopath as the pressure of his failures during our war with covid-19 are pointed out to him.

Trump orders GM to manufacture ventilators under the Defense Production Act
By John Wagner National reporter on The Post's breaking political news team
Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics - Mar 27, 2020
I'm confused by most of what Donald Trump says about the covid-19 pandemic. Return to work by Easter? 80% of the people who get covide-19 recover from covid-19? What happens to the other 20%? Covid-19 is not as bad an the annual car accident deaths?
There is a lot of emotion going on, good and bad people. I'm tryng to keep up, and it is hard.
Key words: 80% of the infected people recover!
Scary corollary: Trump willing to allow 20% to die from the infection by re-starting the American economy for his re-election bid.
Here is the reality - I hope Trump is rejected because I think he is doing a terrible job handling the covid-19 pandemic.

I do NOT like showing you the President's lies and spin on covid-19. I wish he did not lie and spin it because he is risking our lives doing so.
The TV ad, which is political, is ironically merely showing Trump's spoken words in his press briefings inside and outside. So is the truth a bad thing? There's a saying, "If the truth hurts . . ."

There is an advantage of the "Bloody Pulpit" all Presidents have, and we are aware of how Trump has a magic touch turning a sh*t storm into sugar plums, but the flip side is when we see Trump saying really, really bad things on TV. We don't even have to doctor the video. Trump really says very stupid things for very selfish reasons.
Time will tell, covid-19 will tell us if Trump is magical, a true "stable genius," able to get thru the pandemic crisis and win the election in Nov 2020.

"Over the course of a day, President Trump appeared in a virtual Fox News Town Hall, in a Fox News interview and in the daily coronavirus task force briefing. During the hours before the camera, he mused about packed churches on Easter Sunday, seeking to jawbone the country back to work despite the advice of medical professionals who fear it may be too early to return to normalcy to halt the spread of the virus. Here’s a guide to 11 of Trump’s claims on March 24, most of which were false or misleading."

Fear triggered by coronavirus hype may kill its victims faster than the pandemic
RT - Published: 26 Mar 2020 | 20:01 GMT
"Irrational and all-encompassing fear of the coronavirus pandemic is racking up its own body count, sometimes faster than the disease. An Italian nurse has joined the growing ranks of coronavirus-triggered suicides.
Daniela Trezzi, an intensive care nurse at the San Gerardo Hospital in Italy’s hard-hit Lombardy region who was diagnosed with coronavirus earlier this month, killed herself on Sunday. She was terrified that she had infected some of the very people she was trying so desperately to help, the National Federation of Nurses of Italy said in a statement on Tuesday confirming her death. Trezzi had been quarantined since her diagnosis on March 10."
Attributing suicide to fear of a pandemic in March 2020 prepares us of the possibility. We must all take care. I suspect some of this is propaganda, maybe "alternative fakes," "truthful hyperbole," "fake news" and "enemy of the people" media Trump told us about.
