"Just seen the footage of people in Florida all at the beach. Miles upon miles of people crammed together This will not go well across the pond with their toxic healthcare system. " Indeed it won't. The USA has a health sector, not a health service. As has been said before; the American Dream - get sick, go bankrupt. | |||

"the problem is that trump has been treating a public health emergency issue as if it was an economic inconvienience. and he has found an opponent he can't belittle in a tweet..... he can't blame the "deep state".... this may be the first time in his administration where if people are being asked if they should believe him, or his experts a lot of people on all sides are saying "the bloody experts!!!!"" There are still plenty that will blindly follow him and will accept him pinning the blame on others. People find it very difficult to admit that they were catastrophically wrong because it says so much about their own judgement. Anyway, there will be someone along to defend him on this thread soon I'm sure  | |||

"I'm disappointed that there's nobody stepping up to defend Trump's handling of Corona virus. He's been a hero to do many who can do no wrong. Step up." I won't defend Trump because he's an idiot but I would say the the US health sector with 35 ICU beds per 100,000 head of population (almost twice the European average) is better placed than most countries to deal with Corona. It's predicted to be overwhelmed. Maybe it's time to stop trying to score irrelevant political points against each other and instead think about the enormity of the crisis that faces us all. | |||

" Except we are talking about man who shut the department planning for a pandemic, denied a problem, then has blamed everyone else for the situation in the USA and tried to buy exclusive rights to a potential vaccine. This is not points scoring. This is a discussion about an apparently much admired man who is making decisions that effect us all. It is very relevant as he is not thinking about the enormity of the crisis. I want to know what justifies this behaviour in a world leader. Where are his defenders now that the victims of his behaviour are not so easy to demonise? It's great that the US has so many critical care beds. Nothing to do with Teump. It's not so great that a sick person will need to pay for treatment. | |||

"Wasn't Trump recently praised (on CNN of all places) for his handling of this crisis? Part of the praise was because it was so bipartisan. " Do you have a link to this "praise"? Are they just saying well done for acknowledging that it exists? If you want to give your own opinion then do you think it's been handled well? | |||

"So, who is defending Trump's actions on the Corona virus? All I have heard is people saying don't bash him. Worry about something else. Is anyone actually going to explain why his words and deeds have been correct or not? So far lots of posts but still not "Trump has a mouth brain disconnect. Not even his press liaison staff try to justify what he says and does. He has an inferiority complex at the same time as NPD and a competition between his IQ and EQ to see which can set the bar lower. What is astounding is that anyone ever voted for him.

" a gift from god the drug i have found " a malaria drug used to treat .... malaria from the 1970's " social distancing is not working for our economy " " it might have to stop after next week " FFS Sorry a nine year old has more brains than this selfish prick of a dunce, he is a billionaire who inherited daddys pot of gold and then become the U.S's biggest corporate bankrupt by gaining loans from banks ontop of daddys real estate." He aint clever but he is rich and thats all that matters to some people. Personally I think emotional intelligence and empathy are two of the greatest achievements of being human - Trump doesn’t have either quality but he knows how to lie cheat and bully like all great psychopaths | |||

The way they handle the virus won't impact us as much. Just silly stuff like Trump trying to buy the "cure" exclusively for Americans.

I'm thinking long term really, and not in terms of how their handling of the virus may affect us.
The situation in the USA could get quite tricky in the next few weeks, politically as well as virus related, and how it all turns out could eventually have implications for everyone.
Personally I'd like to see someone put a bullet through Trumps brain, before the orange moron does any further damage.

"The problem is that Trump is just a puppet. Get rid of him and you'll get another puppet in his place. Dwight Eisenhower first spoke of the Industrial Military complex. The last free satesman was probably Kennedy. If you follow Robert Reich you understand how the American government has been bought by Big Money. Our government is no different.

While Boris should be doing everything he can to keep the economy going he is still being petty by going after contractors. Brexit check. Nailing contractors. Check. Getting a good deal on ventilators with the EU. Oooops no. Dropped the ball on that one. Too busy with the above. Too bad people will die without ventilators because Boris was too busy getting Brexit done. Trump is America's problem not ours. Fun to watch and comment on but our problem is just as bad. | |||

"Trump is a nut case, anyone with any sense at all knows it, because it's as plain as the nose on your face, you see his idiotic actions nearly everyday. You can be sure, it trump gets the virus and needs a ventilator, he will get one, but yet he's holding back the distribution of what they have now and the production of new ones for the people who need them now and the tens of thousands that will need them in the very near future. These ventilators are life saving machines. His careless actions, not could, but will case the death of hundreds if not thousands before this pandemic is over. Everyone everywhere, please be safe and protect the ones you love ! " He's trying to get "a better deal" from GM. He claims they are asking too much together with the ventilator company for tooling up a factory from scratch in a matter of weeks and lining up suppliers to build thousands of machines. He can't help himself. Trying to be in control of something to say that he did something vaguely positive by trying to save a few dollars whilst people are dying. Unbelievable by totally believable

"I see trump changed his tune quickly about keeping GM from producing ventilators after he got many calls from state governors saying there would be serious repercussions for him if he didn't get production started on the ventilators immediately. My thanks to these governors for forcing trumps hand to save peoples lives across the US !" He's now pretending that he's forced them to do it, after they said they'd already started hiring. Weird, but not weird given his reality. Where are his supporters? At least say that he's done all of the right things having learned from what's happened everywhere else on the planet. | |||

"Weird, but not weird given his reality." And that, there, is the problem, "his reality". He's been sheltered from actual reality his entire life. Born into massive wealth and never having been told "No" have meant he's never had to grow up and, consequently, has the mindset of a toddler who always gets his way. There are plenty of people like him, the world over; but he's dangerous - particularly now - because he's POTUS. The superhuman patience of those round him giving him expert advice because they know better than he does is remarkable. The normal response to him would be "Shut the fuck up, you fucking moron! You've no idea what you're talking about. Fuck off and stop making things worse." Sadly, respect for the Office of POTUS is so sacrosanct that nobody will call him out for his idiocy. | |||

"What ever you may think, there is always another mind set of people, who congregate in different echo chambers and bubbles who may have a completely diffent opinion to yours. Your may think it wrong, others may think it right. Eventually you get over it and accept that opinions are varied. " There are people who think that the world is flat. There are people who think that having unprotected sex with a virgin cures AIDS. There are people who believe FGM is the right thing to do. I am not "getting over" that. There are objective truths in the world. Just believing something on the thinnest of "evidence" just because other people agree does not make it correct. | |||

"The one true fact. Stupid is as stupid does ! If your too stupid to know it's stupid, well guess what, your stupid !" People have spent time studying this. The Dunning-Kruger effect. Someone's lack of knowledge making them think that they know all that they need to. | |||

"96 posts in the thread. Some people have said the thread is pointless or boring. Some have said we shouldn't criticise anyone in a crisis. Some haven't really said much at all. Nobody has defended Trump's handling in word or deed. Will that be changing at all?" count how many posts you have posted and still no one is taking your bait

the fish are not biting today "It's not "bait". It's a very easy to understand question. Answer of you are interested. Ignore if you are not. If you do not wish to answer why post? If it's because you enjoy "annoying" people then that is illustrative of the kind of person you are but does not inform the topic. | |||

"You would think so, if you used any kind of reasoning or rationality. But Trumps approval rating are now the highest they been since he started. It's insane. All the trump supporters I've spoken to are in just complete denial. It's not even the stupid stuff like him getting the population of Seoul mixed up with it's altitude, but that he did so *whilst* berating someone else and trying to prove how "clever" he is. He did that in a press conference. Imagine what he is doing behind the scenes in his "infinite wisdom". As bad as this is looking for the US, I've a feeling telfon-Trump might still come out OK. -Matt | |||

Still nobody so far."I guess the defence is that he doesn't give a fuck. And is confident that he will be re-elected regardless of what he does or says. If boasting about sexually assaulting women, or the insane ramblings on his Twitter account don't put people off. Then nothing really matters. | |||

-Matt "the thing is everyone rallies around around a president during a wartime type crisis... rallied around carter at the being of the iran crisis... rallies around the bushes during the gulf war.... rallied around bush during 9/11 trump is making error after error in states he needs to win in november, for example going after the governor of michigan in that state isn't a wisest idea, because those "attack ads" against him write themselves come sept/oct.... the longer this goes on... and the longer it looks like the governors in the states are leading the responses, the worse it will be for trump! and the problem is this whole crisis management uses every skill he doesn't have! playing it down initially was a mistake! not taking any responsibility for being caught out and dropping the ball is a mistake! not being brutally honest with people is a mistake! the democrats are in a tricky position, they don't have to be super critical now, all they have to is use his own words against him in the ads that will be played coming up towards the general..... | |||
