Virus thread, the political one.

Funny you should mention that. President Trump and I spoke by telephone just this morning for about 20 minutes.
He is a member here at VSalon and enjoys my posts. We shared ideas for economic recovery and he will implement aspects of my plan.

The kind of pathetic response I would have expected.

And he responded like a raving loon to the slam dunk question of what do you have to tell people right now who are worried and scared?

Jesus H what a moron this guy is.

It's not a stretch to say people are dying due to his vainglorious stupidity.

[Sbti]

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

Ummm, no. Where have you been?

[gregl]

The kind of pathetic response I would have expected.

He complains about ad hominem attacks while at the same time trolling the forum. Modeling behavior learned by watching national leaders on television. Sadly, all too common in our world today. Don't engage the trolls on their level. It only feeds their egos and sustains them. Instead, stay calm, rationale, and factual. It destroys them.

You have to hand it to whoever is writing his talking points strategy. I don't think he's smart enough to effectively get inside the heads of so many simpletons. "Tearing down barriers to vaccines" is good. As if these barriers were just excess flotsam that he's boldly brushing aside. Millions are nodding along, eating this stuff up.

Knocking down barriers by outbidding states for the medical supplies and equipment he told Governors they should get themselves? Ok Comrade.

Massachusetts Governor Says He's Being Outbid by Federal Government For Coronavirus Supplies, Despite Trump Telling Govs to Get Their Own

Let me give you some color- I was just on the phone with a long term friend. He was having a twilight moment. He had just shipped a bunch of masks that his brother's construction firm had to his college classmate who is a doctor in Mass. The doctor said they didn't have any mask, aprons, goggles etc and had to use all old stuff. He already had several colleagues test positive.

In Italy, they were running out of medical staff so even if you tested, you worked until you couldn't. Seems like some States are headed in this direction.

Nurses and Doctors in NY have been saying the same thing.

I hope this doesn't end up like being a Katrina type FEMA response. They buy supplies, store the items and somehow never get to distributing the items.

I was hopeful earlier in the week, but after see the latest data and the task force press conference, I am in a dark place.

Someone please explain to me why 55% of Americans approve of 45’s handling of the pandemic.

Pretty hard to fathom, eh?

A substantial portion of Americans have no interest in the distorted mass media who has no interest in their best interests.
President Trump has a true America First focus and his love for America, Americans, and the American way is appreciated.

Thanks for the laugh. Humor is important in times like these.

November 3rd cannot arrive soon enough. I hope I live that long.

You will survive. Stay strong. Believe in yourself and your support system.
Medical researchers are working tirelessly on new vaccines and therapies.
President Trump and VP Pence are harnessing the vast power of our nation.

No, you don't understand.

My wife has me climbing high ladders to paint cathedral ceilings, and on the roof to readjust the weather vane, and swinging a very menacing ax while splitting next winter's firewood. This down time is slowly bleeding my soul. I may not be able to hand on.

Of course, @takashi. Thank you very much
We are all VSalon brothers and sisters who care for each other.

A substantial portion of Americans don’t realize how well they have been manipulated into believing a free press is dangerous. In fact, the Constitution protects a free press as one of the cornerstones of democracy. It’s truly remarkable how few people understand the roots of our free press. Perhaps a trip to the library to research John Peter Zenger would be helpful.

About two and a half months later than was needed. I wonder how many lives that delay will cost?

[Colinmclelland]

Democrat plans to attempt to viciously demonize this heroic wartime President are going to backfire bigly.
We are in a global struggle for our lives. President Trump is knocking down barriers to vaccines and cures.

American citizens are happy to see a leader like President Trump who puts America First.
He will aim to put us on firm footing to help the nation resume our exceptional pre-virus way of life.

Genuinely, that’s not my perception. And clearly, given this (from Australians, thanks for the link Jon) Home - The Juice Media
i’m not alone in my view.

What have you seen that I haven’t?
