Trump support beginning to abandon him

I just read this report in the UK's Independent broadsheet newspaper:

Mike Francesa, a New York sports radio legend and longtime supporter of Donald Trump, has hit out at the president’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“[Hospitals] don’t have the supplies they need. So don’t give me the My Pillow guy doing a song and dance up here on a Monday afternoon when people are dying in Queens!”, he said. “Get the stuff made! Get the stuff where it needs to go and get the boots on the ground. Treat this like the crisis it is.”

and

“How can you have a scoreboard that says 2,000 people have died, and tell us it’s OK if another 198,000 die, that’s a good job. How is that a good job in our country? It’s a good job if nobody else dies. Not if another 198,000 people die. So now 200,000 people are disposable?”


Seems Mike has finally begun to see the light, recognize the emperor's new clothes, wonder if he's now sorry he voted for the dimwit?

1 guy. There's still plenty of people that support Donald Trump, hence why his approval rating, as of right now, remains high.

You know the other day I went to Costco and I couldn't find a single roll of paper towels. And at that moment I couldn't help but think for a fleeting moment that Trump really is a genius. The moment passed quickly.

Nah, fake, all fake, fake statistics.

It's normal for the country to rally behind a president during a national crisis.

- 'While public perceptions are fluid in a crisis, a notable twist in polling at this point is that independents are driving Mr. Trump’s bump in approval, and some increased Democratic support is a factor as well. Gallup called that “highly unusual for Trump” in reporting its latest survey, which was released last week and showed Mr. Trump’s approval rating at 49 percent, equal to the best of his presidency.'

Good pandemic prep takes a lot of years to pull together, many thousands of people working together to get ready, with a not small amount of money being spent to put together an intelligent stockpile......only morons blame our complete failure to do it right on Trump....in just two months there was almost nothing that he could do to mitigate the failure of Americas elite health officials to do their jobs over decades.

Get Real.

Dow Jones -10000. It was the only support for Donald Trump.

One guy said, ... Trump is blah, blah, blah-blah :lol:

Here's some reality...Anti-Trumps and media networks like CNN are now calling to boycott Trump when he speaks at the daily pressers because they fear his ratings will continue to rise.

There's no reason to criticize Trump, though I will admit to being shocked if today the virus doesn't go away on its own.

"I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that’s a beautiful date to look forward to."

Today is a great day.

I’m not sure this rally around the flag spike trump is enjoying is actually that big of a deal. His average has gone up by two points. By contrast, after 9/11 George W. Bush’s approval went up by over 35 points.

There was an administration level pandemic response team put in place by Obama. It was dissolved by Bolton when he came on board.

You get real.

Wake up man:

How America built the best pandemic response system in history – and threw it away.

Highlights:

After hearing about the spread of H5N1 in 2005, Garrett immediately requested a meeting with a member of George W Bush’s security council. “I started showing him maps and explaining where those birds went – and what this could mean in terms of introducing this super-lethal virus,” she recalls. “We didn’t have enough data to know – was this the big one?”

Click to expand...

Security advisors from the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and other interests did not prevaricate over Garrett’s warning: “They went straight to the Oval Office.” Bush ordered the creation of a pandemic preparedness plan, the first to be formulated by the US government.

Garrett had seen what a failure to prepare for disaster could mean when, a week after the terrorist attacks of 11 September, 2001, letters containing the deadly anthrax bacteria began arriving at the offices of politicians and media organisations in the US. As agencies competed and interfered with one another’s work, Garrett saw fist-fights between investigators.

“It laid bare all the frailties of this very complicated set of government agencies’ responses, going from city level all the way up to federal government,” she remembers. The plan drawn up by the Bush administration aimed to unpick this mess. “From then on, governments and administrations built on that framework and used it to adapt to new scientific findings.”

Click to expand...

and

The US, having dedicated years to pandemic preparedness, joined other countries in pressuring the WHO to declare a public health emergency, which it eventually did in August 2014, nine months after the first case was discovered. As soon as this happened, Tom Frieden travelled to Liberia. “He came back and went straight to the White House with his hair on fire. Just completely freaked out, said this is going to be this enormous, catastrophic event.”

Click to expand...

and get this:

On 8 May 2018, Donald Trump signed Rescission Proposal R18-1, asking the US government to take back $15bn in spending. At the time, coverage of these cuts focussed on the $7bn that would be taken from the Children’s Health Insurance Program. But the 38-page proposal details a swathe of other cuts. Among these was the removal of the remaining $252m budget for International Disaster Assistance that had been committed in 2015 as part of the Ebola response, and the State Department’s $30m Complex Crises Fund. The CDC, in response to previous funding cuts, had already reduced its pandemic preparedness activity in 39 countries. On the day R18-1 was signed, the WHO announced a new outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Two days later the newly appointed National Security Advisor, John Bolton, dissolved the Global Health Security team within the NSC. Timothy Ziemer, the most senior White House official in charge of responses to pandemics or bioterrorism, left that day and was not replaced.

The issue with these programmes was not that they were expensive – the $282m saved on pandemic preparedness by R18-1 represents less than 0.007 per cent of US government spending in 2018 – but that they were connected to the health security agenda, which had been an Obama project.

Whether this is based on a real personal animosity, or the knowledge that it appeals to his base, the removal of America’s ability to protect itself and the wider world from pandemics of infectious disease appears to have been driven by this impulse. “It was really,” says Garrett, “just about getting rid of things that had Obama’s name on them.”

I can only assume that you regard facts as irrelevant, a bit like trump does, a nasty distraction from nasty people picking on poor ickw donawd.

True. Supporters will accept absolutely anything from Trump. Maybe 1-2% of Die-Hard supporters are able to change their minds when crisis is making enough havoc, but we're not even close to that yet. Next July should be interesting and then we know if death toll is 200k (less or more) in US. If death toll is nearing 300k by July Trump should lose 50% of his current base (mostly because they are dead; downplaying is like magnet to virus- so I assume it's going to kill lot of Trump supporters).

It's more like you and many others have been brainwashed by the constant negative propaganda into believing "he's stupid, incompetent, lies constantly, and misleads people."

Hardly surprising when the MSM, supported not only by 5th columnists in the government, but also those citizens suffering from TDS who are willing to believe anything negative about this President, have been posting their own "lies constantly."

How many times do people have to point out examples of the constant, unrelenting disinformation and misinformation campaign before you and other's wake up to it and see the reality?

Probably never...as the confirmation bias seared into some minds by the psychic shock of having their expectations shattered back in November 2016 is just too strong to overcome in some. :coffeepap:

It's demonstrably true that Trump is stupid, incompetent, lies constantly, and misleads people.

I don't agree with the idea that the media is always right. I am skeptical of the media. However, I am more skeptical of Trump. Why? There are 16,000+ examples that prove Trump is a habitual liar:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...e-or-misleading-claims-his-first-three-years/

And calling out Trump as an incompetent idiot and a liar is not an example of insanity. It's an indication of sanity to say that Trump botch the federal response to the pandemic. Why? Because it's true!

It's an indication of sanity to say that with respect to most things, and in particular, with respect to the federal government's response to the Coronavirus pandemic that Trump tends to exaggerate, mislead, or outright lie about things. Why? Because it's true!

From my perspective, it seems crazy to me that you and other Trump supporters keep trying to pretend he is a good, competent leader. That seems crazy to me.

From my perspective, it seems crazy to me that you and other Trump whine, bitch, and moan and accuse other people of being crazy every time Trump is criticized.

So, knock it off, stop trying to gaslight people. It's not going to work. And, to be honest, you make yourself look crazy by continually saying stuff that is demonstrably false and by continuing to support someone who, clearly, does not deserve political support.

Probably never...as the confirmation bias seared into some minds by the psychic shock of having their expectations shattered back in November 2016 is just too strong to overcome in some. :coffeepap:

This is you:



I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt initially. And to be honest, I wasn't too upset Clinton lost. I think Clinton was an imperfect candidate. However, after everything that has transpired over the past 3.5 years, clearly, I was wrong. Clinton would have been a far better President than Trump is despite all her faults. I made a mistake assuming it wasn't that big of a deal that Clinton lost. I made a huge mistake. We are far worse of with this idiot in charge. And I know your ego won't allow you to admit this, but it's true. You messed up. We all messed up. Electing Trump to office was a gigantic mistake, and the sooner you cultish Trump supporters realize that, the better off we'll all be.

You think you've posted something negative by your polling comparisons? :no:

Trump's approval remains high.

According to your own poll aggregates it was over 50% a few days ago, and at a low of 47.6 recently. Both are higher than most of Trump's prior averages in such polling.

The prime reason for the drop IMHO? The ramping up of negative propaganda which focuses on misrepresentation coupled with every effort to create "gotcha" moments via loaded questions are every public briefing.

Even the experts we are told to trust over the President seem to be getting frustrated with how the MSM is reporting on the situation.

This is such an idiotic post. Reporters are asking Trump straightforward questions about the federal response and Trump can't handle those questions because he wants everyone to think he is amazing and wonderful.

Nope. The experts are frustrated with uneducated and stupid people like Trump and his supporters trying to pretend they know more about epidemiology than they do.

I'm sorry, but if you are a high school dropout in one of the fly-over or rural states and you don't have a degree or any experience in epidemiology, one of your primary tasks during this crisis is to STFU.

He can think whatever he wants. But his dishonest and vindictive comments on the My Pillow guy expose him as a hack. MANY in the MSM and the left in general, have been attacking the My Pillow guy as some sort of horrible villain. But what most of the media have left out, is that the My Pillow guy has STOPPED 75% of his pillow production, and is re-tooling to produce LOTS(50,000 a day by Friday) of protective masks for healthcare workers and others! For anyone confused, that's a good thing!

Any decent, rational, caring human being would show gratitude for what his company is doing! But not the left! They HATE EVERYONE and EVERYTHING that is in ANY way connected to Trump! Even if the person is doing something positive. Ask yourselves this..... What have any of these bitter, vindictive leftist talking heads done to help people during this crisis? How many masks are they producing!
