Someone tell me why big dick is so obsessed with this 100k death number.
News flash: Trump isn't saying this isn't serious, nor is he saying we aren't going to have a lot of deaths. He just extended the country's shutdown another month, right?
Anyway, I've explained my issues with Trump before (regarding this situation), but since some people here are convinced I've never said such things, I'll say them again:
1) Lack of coherent medium-term plan for what the plans are for the coming 6 months. Sort of like, "If X is the situation on May 1, we will do Y, otherwise we will do Z." We haven't gotten any of that.
2) He was too slow to direct the quick production of ventilators and makeshift hospitals. It's happening now, but this should have started awhile ago.
3) He's said and tweeted a lot of stupid and un-Presidential things. (However, some of these have been twisted to mean different things than they actually did, by the dishonest media.)
4) He hasn't deferred to the experts enough. This has been improving, but he really needs to shut up and read carefully prepared statements, not just say dumb shit off the cuff.
There you go.
Here's what he hasn't done wrong:
1) He put on travel restrictions from China on January 31, while people on the left were calling it "racist" and "xenophobic", including Joe Biden.
2) He is expressing concern that the country has to get back to work at some point, and we can't just shut down indefinitely. That's what he was saying in his much unfairly-maligned "Easter" speech.
3) He keeps reminding people that this is a Chinese virus. Not because of racism, but because China was at fault here, they continue to lie and deceive, and their continued fault in the matter needs to remain in people's heads.
4) He is pro-experimental existing drug treatment for those dying, and has made effort to remove the red tape in getting these approved for COVID-19 purposes.
The country has 330 million people, and a large 60+ population due to the baby boom of 1946-1964. The virus is super-contagious, and nobody took the social distancing seriously until about 2-3 weeks ago.
Of course there's going to be a lot of deaths. However, even with 100k deaths, 99.97% of the population survives.
About this? Or stuff in general?
How about the "hoax" thing? The media knew that Trump didn't think the virus or its danger was a hoax. After all, he had already put the China travel ban in effect BEFORE the "hoax" statement. He wouldn't have done that if he thought it was a hoax.
They knew he was talking about the media blaming him for the disease killing people in the US. That's what he meant by, "This is their hoax." It was very clear to anyone who wasn't a complete idiot.
To this day, the media and tons of left-leaning people on social media dishonestly claim, "Trump said it was a hoax" just to rile people up.

If we had a Democratic President, would they have put on China travel restrictions on January 31? Or would they have waited longer because of fear of being called "xenophobic"?
I we had a Democratic President, do you think the government would have efficiently jumped on our need for more ventilators and hospital space, and jumped on that immediately? If you say yes, how do you explain that the last Democratic President presided over a healthcare makeover where $560 million was spent on a non-working (though super-essential) website?
Too many people are paying attention to Trump's dumb words, and not enough to his actions versus likely actions of a different President in office.
How come Democratic-run NYC didn't take the virus seriously, thus resulting in continuing the run the subway and not taking social distancing seriously for a long time, thus infecting tons of people?
It's really getting old watching Trump get the blame for all of this.
can you walk into the hospital tomorrow an get tested for cv19?
Trump said 3 weeks ago that anyone can get tested. ANYONE.
The WHO said countries need to test like crazy in order to stop the spread yet here we are still withour nearly enough testing.
Why are there only like 300 dead in all of south korea?
why wasnt the country shut down a few weeks ago? What Im thinking you dont understand is that we are TOO LATE
to stop the fucking spread.
back in early january trump should have been on top of this shit. Getting testing and ppe and all the other stuff people kinda need when a fucking pandemic is heading towards you.
he should have had all the tests ready to go. Fail
these hospitals should have been loaded with everything they need. Again fail
you ask why im obesessed with the 100k+ number? really? Oh idk it's a lot of fucking dead americans i guess?

prove 1 thing cnn said trump did or said that is a 100% lie.
I can post god knows how many things trump has lied about.
Dont you feel like a dipshit having somone lie to you all the time? You guys are gonna look back in 10 years and think TO yourselves how the fuck could i have been so fucking stupid
He told the sheep at his rally that its a democratic hoax. His words not cnn not mine not blakes but his own words.
Trump called it a hoax how can you not hold his ass accountable for shit like that?
and dont give this bullshit well he didnt mean it that way and all the shit you guys say to try cover up for the dumfuck president who just says things but then has to have it walked back after.
if he would keep his big fucking mouth shut maybe he would be able to keep track of his lies

We will be lucky if only 100k die, I think it will be much more. Their range is 100k to 200k, even 200k would be a blessing. It will be more.

In a month 233,000 Americans die from reasons other than corona. 100k is a figure used not to cause panic I would assume, but panic is what we need right now, people are too lax in public 2 weeks into lockdown.
It will be over 200k.

Look how corrupt the WHO is.
Big dick still tilting his cnn infested brain off ITT.
you're giving him benefits of the doubt you shouldn't be.
this is a guy who didn't even think we would get hit by the virus. (this is the undisputed fact that no trump supporter wants to address.) why would you think he was taking it seriously?
note that "the coronavirus threat is being overblown (i.e., it's a hoax)" mantra is being repeated by diehard trumpers. why? because they followed trump's lead.
for example, DTHP disputed the veracity of all news reports suggesting it's a serious issue. he didn't believe we should keep isolating. he was the biggest MAGA person on this site.
go on to breitbart, look into the comment section and let me know how many people there think the threat is being overblown and is a hoax designed by the liberal media to tank trump's re-election chances.
i'll save you the trouble -- all of them.
those are all trump supporters, not liberals. they all think this is a hoax, like DTHP.
they followed trump's lead. they believed him when he said we would not have more than one or two cases.
Blake is still tilting his cnn infested brain off ITT
So why didn't Trump cut red tape for testing and do everything he could to get the testing ball moving along?
What about this back and forth with the Michigan governor? Epic level pettiness. It shows how damaging the electoral college is when it indirectly is causing people who paid their fair of taxes to be denied disaster assistance. It took a real piece of human excrement to reveal this and the large majority of people are still too dumb to realize it, but it is there.
