These 3 items have exactly what to do with the virus?

Via senior GOP aide, Schumer/Pelosi now pushing these demands amid pandemic-fueled economic collapse:
1) Unprecedented collective bargaining powers for unions
2) Increased fuel emissions standards for airlines
3) Expansion of wind and solar tax credits

Exactly Democrats are scum to our country. The only thing in this plan should be resources to help with this pandemic no political wish list.

Since Congress more specifically pelosi and Schumer can’t pass a bill out of hate and spite for Trump. There’s a good chance business may be back open as normal at the end of the 15 days. Hate to say that but if there’s no help for workers and businesses. I don’t think Trump will continue to keep things at a standstill. Because he has to weigh the risk of deaths from virus vs people losing homes and going hungry. It’s sad that both branches of government can’t put politics aside. To help the American people listening to McConnell I believe the GOP has tried

Sounds like your vision of a trump America is one where citizens dont mean anything and some are expendable. Sounds like China to me.

All I want is help for businesses so people don’t lose jobs. And a Check to make up for loss money. Also additional resources for hospitals. That’s it! This has nothing to do with Trumps America

Trump tweeted this last night:





WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

Fox News host Steve Hilton just before this said this:

“Our ruling class and their TV mouthpieces whipping up fear over this virus, they can afford an indefinite shutdown. Working Americans can’t, they’ll be crushed by it. You know that famous phrase, ‘The cure is worse than the disease?’ That is exactly the territory we are hurting towards.”

Trump is going back to being guided by Fox News OMG. He finally saw the light 10 days ago, stopped downplaying the virus, and got serious. I think his ratings started going up when he did this. Let’s hope he’s not backtracking due to Fox News and that he listens to folks like Dr. Fauci. Please don’t lift the restrictions at the end of day 15 because Fox News recommends it. Steve Hilton vs Dr. Fauci? I don’t think it is even close whose recommendations should be followed.

A president who takes the lead from a news source is like a comedian who has to steal jokes. Cant come up with their own ---- so they borrow.

Trump takes it a step further. The fox news clip probably got lots of cheers from his followers and so trump restates so they cheer for him........its sickening.
 
Yeah lets not forget that we basically did NOTHING to slow its spread in the US, not having testing seriously hindered the ability to stop the community spread of this when it was first here. The wait and see/downplay attitude by the administration really glossed over the reality of what was happening.

 
He doesn't win prizes for finally acting like a adult he is the damn president of the USA....he made this bed we all have to lay in, right now the really is no point in going on and on about it his reckoning will come in Nov....Trump dropped the ball bigly, it was a tremendous ball drop....

No he did not.

He is the best President we have had since Reagan and he is looking after the backs of working men and women.

We are blessed to have him and he is the man that God has tapped to lead us through this.

See the above video of Trump downplaying this time after time, saying the cases were low, they were going to go away, that we had it under control......all lies mostly because he wanted to protect the stock market and economy, but not because he cares about us and the hardships we face if they crash but rather because if they tank his chances of losing in Nov go up. Also Reagan was a real leader and Trump does not belong in the same sentence as a man like Reagan.....its a damn insult to Reagan to compare Trump to him at all.

Dr. Fauci himself praised Donald Trump on his early travel restrictions saying it "saved lives".....

I can take a bomb out of a subway car filled with 50 people and throw it in a subway car with 25 people and save lives. Doesnt mean i did anything preventing the bomb from going off.

He saved lives! That's actually a GOOD THING even for someone who hates him to admit....

There were already cases in the US when Trump did the travel ban with China, and even that ban has not stopped travel from China, flights arrive in the US everyday from China, and Europe.....and have the entire time, go to Flightradar 24 and you can track these flights in realtime...its all for show.

Here is a flight 2 days ago from Bejing, there are dozens of flights in the air right now to the US from Germany, Spain, Italy, France etc....

"On Saturday, Italy announced that 793 people had died that day from COVID-19, the coronavirus that originated in China that has rapidly spread across the world. That was up from 627 deaths that had occurred on Friday and 427 on Thursday. The death toll is now well over 5,000 in that country alone.

Also on Saturday, two Alitalia flights took off from Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci International Airport and landed at New York’s JFK Airport.

Feb. 24, meanwhile, was China’s deadliest day from COVID-19; if Beijing’s possibly suspect statistics are to be believed, 149 people died from the coronavirus on that day. That afternoon, an Air China 777 arrived at JFK after a 13-hour flight from Beijing. The following day, Los Angeles International Airport welcomed flights from both Beijing and Shanghai."

Absolutely and I agree that that was a great decision. And Trump reminded of this great decision over and over and over while also downplaying the spread of the virus into the US as @Downeastnc said, which itself caused us to lose ground as a result.

If Trump were to lift the restrictions at the end of 15 days, Dr. Fauci wouldn't be praising that. How can the US be unified if Trump is wishy washy?

Looks like he was in good company with the rest of the western world seeing they are faring no better.

Keep in mind Trump has a lot of access and inside info on things that we don’t have. Perhaps his statement is meant simply to speed up congress on a stimulus deal. Maybe he’s received some intelligence suggesting this won’t be as big of a deal as initially feared or that the effects of shutting things down too long will be worse than the virus.. or maybe with the new anti-viral drugs he knows we can start easing things up and treat the sick with those to minimize the effects of the virus. Could be a lot of things.

Agree. It doesn't take high level intelligence to decipher what he meant
 
The whitehouse team,president have done a wonderfull job up till now handling this crisis. Hopefully this cocktail that will be heavily used in NYC starting tommorow nets the same results as it did in France. If so, we save lives and start salvaging the economy and reving it back up. Thats probably disheartening news to several on the left who are seeing this crisis as a way to regain power and advance their agenda. Its not about getting rid of Trump in Nov only because they hate him on a personal level. Underneath its all about advancing that progressive,globalist ,socialist agenda. Trump could have the character of Billy Graham and it wouldnt matter.
Just look at the left trying to put all this garbage in bills, instead of solely addressing this crisis.
 
I guess give up on the bill. Open things back up and let the Democrats have blood on there hands. Sad but True. Wish I wasn’t blocked from posting in the Caronavirus thread. Was gonna ask if South Carolina gonna do a stay at home order?
