Wow very impressed at the presidents speech will go down in history. He just gained a lot of support he is a strong leader and at a time like this I couldn’t see Biden handling this. We need trump longer to save our country.

The irony was just dripping in Trumps message on COVID-19 tonight. A little over a week ago, he basically said it was a nothingburger and basically a hoax devised by the media and the Dems to derail him. Now he is pandemicing and rallying the government to be involved in drastic measures to slow the spread of the disease. Wait a minute... the government intervening and becoming increasingly involved in commerce, travel, and our personal lives here in the U.S.? Doesn't this sound kinda like socialism? Wonder how his sheeple are going to respond to that?

I just saw this, just so you know that is a fake news lie pushed by the far right....Schumer never said that.
PolitiFact - Chuck Schumer didn't delete tweet criticizing Trump's China travel ban ... because he never wrote it

Some conservative websites and Twitter users are spreading a false rumor that Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., deleted a tweet from early February criticizing President Donald Trump for banning some forms of travel to and from China.
The tweet was never deleted, because Schumer never sent it.

What is the first job of government?
Some already had their minds made up before Trump even spoke last night, for them it will never be enough, no matter what he says or does.

I'm sure you held this same sentiment when Obama was in office.

Again, I was fighting a war and Obama was my CIC so yes I held that exact same sentiment even though i disagreed with him on pretty much everything he did.

Obama was a hero. Trump is a moron and a disgrace.

President Trump Still More Popular Than Obama at Same Point in Presidency
by Matt PalumboPosted: March 11, 2020
From the day Donald Trump declared his candidacy for President of the United States he faced an unprecedented media onslaught that unsuccessfully tried to sink his campaign.
As anyone with eyes and ears is aware, that has continued during his tenure as President. During his first hundred days in office, 89% of network coverage of the Trump presidency was negative.
For the entire year of 2018, coverage was 90% negative.
During the recent impeachment hysteria, media bias maxed out with 100% negative coverage. And yet despite that, following the House passing the articles of impeachment, President Trump was still more popular than Obama was at the same point in their respective presidencies (151 weeks in). Trump’s approval rating in late December was 45%, three percentage points higher than Obama’s at 42%.
A few months have passed since then, with the media’s focus now being on the Coronavirus. And again, despite the media pushing a cohesive narrative in opposition to the Administration’s response to the virus, he’s still maintaining a lead in popularity against Obama at this same point in their presidencies. According to Rasmussen Reports, Trump’s approval as of March 11th, 2020 is at 47%, while Obama’s was at 44% on March 11th, 2012. The figures as of yesterday were 48/44.

Your quoting the highwater mark of his Presidency polling. It was 39% just 3 months before that. Let's see where it goes from here.

If you are anywhere near 50% in this divided country that's pretty good in my opinion.....Your quoting the highwater mark of his Presidency polling. It was 39% just 3 months before that. Let's see where it goes from here.

And that my friends is how a military man operates. You may not like the policies, but you follow orders unless those orders violate the Constitution or enacted law. Bravo Zulu.

Partially. The first job of the government is not just to govern, it's to protect the people and provide law and order. There is no government without people. If the people die or leave the nation, the government dies.

Correct. The Government is not moving towards socialism like the older post was suggesting. It is just taking temporary steps to protect.
I think we are getting ready to see what happens when a people become to dependent on Government
