Trump ties coronavirus decisions to personal grievances

Yeah, that leapt out, didn't it?
Just a few short years ago this jackass would have committed political suicide a dozen times in his first term but the way things are today he's liable to be earning reelection despite, or maybe because of, his loutishness and corruption.

Like his supporters say, they like him because he talks as if he is in their living room. His racist implications, clear misogyny, anti-foreign, extreme xenophobia, and all around immaturity appeals to them.
 
May this anti-American, Constitution-shredding, self-idolatrous scum be put out of our misery sooner rather than later.

Wow, such hatred from a so called Progressive who has no understanding of personal or Presidential responsibility. Sounds a lot like Treason to me. Anti American?? What the hell would you know about being an American and what is anti American? You use your freedom of speech to make an ass out of yourself
 
Didn't you love the part where he wagged his tiny finger at the governors for supposedly not telling the truth? And how THEM not telling the truth was somehow justification for his threat to kill people in their state? While he is enjoying a bump in the polls for his lie-ridden daily propaganda sessions?

“I want them to be appreciative. I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true. We’ve done a great job.”



I need to go put that in my hall of Trump ironies before I forget about it.

Why exactly is it Trump's responsibility or obligation to call a Governor and not vice versa? What is immature is the 24/7 Trump bashing from you that diverts from your own state and local gov't responsibilities
 
They're not denying aid, but they should be left to deal with the problem themselves?

Correct, they were not denied aid.

I am saying it would not be a scandal if they were.

Over 60% of the American public support Trump's efforts(Gallup) and over 50% nationally and rising, guess you love being in the minority and lash out with typical leftwing hate

One possible excuse is that Mr. Trump says what they want to say, but know that they can't say in public because of the adverse social reactions that saying it would cause.

Oh, he is their middle finger and exactly what they wanted way back in 2016. Beyond that, they have no expectations, which is why they have spent three years perfecting the art of apathy. They ignore, so that they can support. They are just too stupid to realize how this anti-conservative mind developed:


- Bush authorized the CIA to spy on American citizens through the Patriot Act and they gratefully surrendered their civil rights to support.

- The shallow NeoCon agenda to magically create democracy in the Middle East was a bust.

- Trickle-Down economics was proven a con game during the 2007-08 recession.

- Bush and the GOP used tax money to create bail-outs for private banks and corporations, thus exposing their delusions of a free market.

- Obama was never a Kenyan-born Muslim with terrorist sympathies.

- Global Warming is real, not a liberal hoax. Trump's attempt to later brand it a Chinese hoax should have insulted their intelligence. It didn't.

- They watched their GOP pathetically make a congressional argument about tomato paste in 2011, because they chose to politicize the idea of healthier school lunches for their fat-ass kids.

- "Lock her up" turned into Trump declaring that he wasn't interested after he was elected.

- "Drain the swamp" turned into Trump filling his Cabinet with career lobbyists and Wall Street insiders that helped write the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act, which freed Big Business from paying taxes.

- They cheered for Trump as he denigrated an American POW of a Vietnam war that he was too cowardly to attend. They ignore his ongoing and persistent denigration of the military.

- Trump's walking away from the Iran deal and then handing Syria over to Iranian and Russian influence were and are both long-term threats to Israel.

- Trump clearly used a private lawyer to try to enlist the aid of a foreign government to help him with re-election by interfering in American democracy; and they encouraged their GOP to applaud.

- After supporting Trump for his months of complacency, they now support Trump's $2 trillion dollar program of socialism to help the needy....and corporations.

- Reagan, Bush, and Trump are infamous for vastly increasing debt, deficit, and expanding government, which is supposed to be a no-no within conservatism.

On, and on, and on. One by one, all of their shallow and cracked ideologies, as well as what they once thought of themselves, proved false. Their support for a free market was BS. Their support for the troop is BS and clearly based on political convenience. Their support for Israel is BS. Their anti-science position is embarrassing. Their need to ignore Trump's clear exploitation of their irrationality in 2016 was an immediate smack to their faces. All they have is Trump's middle finger, irrationality, and ignorance to cling to. This is why they thrive on the idea of conspiracies, the idea of fake news, the idea of a deep state, and anything else that helps them feel like victims of somebody else's making. You see, it's not them and their radicalism that have long been so very wrong about so many things. It's the world for daring to be right and leaving them exposed as frauds. Now they flip-flop all over the place trying desperately to keep up with their ego-driven leader as he Tweets his way through his presidency.
 
I think he’s absolutely right. If a state official is trashing the federal government why should the feds just help him
Out of his problem?

Jay Inslee spent two weeks proud of noncooperation with Pence, sending out tweets just totally trashing Pence, then as soon as he needs something he wants full assistance (which he’s getting btw) ?

I think trump should deny my state all assistance.

There are quite a few more people in any given state than the trash talking state official.

As I said, he's enjoying a small polling bump thanks to his lie-filled daily briefings. Also this is another example of him hitting 50% AGAIN and celebrating that he hit 50% AGAIN, which means he had to sink below 50% AGAIN, because he just can't keep it up. He will sink below 50% again. He will bump his head on the ceiling of his own creation. He is his own and America's worst enemy.

As the deaths mount along with his threats to withhold support from states whose governors don't flatter him, citizens who are just now starting to pay attention will start to realize how many of those things they took reassurance from were lies, and his small bump will peter out. He'll be back to his core group of supporters who would keep supporting him even if he piled dying old people up in parking lots and set fire to them. The majority of the nation will remain committed to ending the nightmare that the Trump presidency has been.

It's not an obligation. The problem is that this is supposed to be the nation's leader; and you see nothing wrong with him making these types of comments. But, you were fine when he scoffed at Puerto Rico. Now he does it to our own states. No big deal.

If there were more hours in a day, Trump would earn more hours of criticism. On the other hand, if there were more hours in the day, you would look for even more ways to hurl undeserved love towards him. See the difference? Allow the man to be a man who takes responsibility.

And I find it hilarious how you constantly put your foot in your mouth. Here, you declare that state and local governments have their own responsibilities to own up to, yet you find yourself supporting a man who is interfering with just that.

- Big on socialism these days, huh?
- Big on government interference into private business these days, huh?
- Oh, and who can forget how quick Texas was to ask for a piece of Trump's $15 billion government interference over Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

You see, nobody is fooled by your self-righteous Texan hypocrisy. Your devotion to Donald Trump has greatly exposed you over the years. Sooner or later, you might want to discover why you allow this piece of **** to lead you around. After all, how can you be so against these things, yet so fully supporting an anti-thesis?

I haven't seen a lot information from you giving you any credibility on any issue. Why don't you explain why you continue to divert from your own personal and state problems to the President of the United States who has nothing to do with those problems? Progressive/liberal/socialism is a failed ideology that promotes malaise and lack of initiative, why does that appeal to you?

You claim the Trump Presidency has been a nightmare?? To whom, Liberals, progressives, socialists?? Yes I would agree

It's his responsibility to do his job regardless of how much he personally likes an individual governor. Do you agree?

I am totally fine with the reality that it is the state and local government's responsibility to ask for assistance, not vice versa? Big on socialism?? you call states asking for federal taxpayer help being the same as you and others demanding that the massive central gov't take over responsibility for state and local issues? My self righteous "Texas" Hypocrisy is exactly what?? Trump has indeed generated the results I had hoped for when he was elected and has earned my vote again in November. You have no viable alternative and offer nothing but politics of personal destruction, class envy, jealousy, gov't dependence, loss of initiative, and hate
 
It's his responsibility to do his job regardless of how much he personally likes an individual governor. Do you agree?

I do indeed, and when that governor asks for help and he rejects it, then you will have an issue, until then you are showing nothing but typical leftwing hate rhetoric
 
Dead citizens because the orange baby is mad at a governor. Anyone who thinks that's just fine and dandy can **** off to North Korea.

actually as gov it was her job to be prepared. the federal gov is there to help when needed. the first line job is hers.

trump already declared MI a federal disaster area to open up more money and supplies. all she can do is bitch and complain.

it is usually not a good idea to complain and bitch about the people that you now need to send you stuff because you failed to do it.

Um..I have never demanded that the central government take over responsibilities for state and local issues. Let's not avoid your hypocrisy:

- American tax-payers ask for and receive welfare and unemployment. <----Socialism.

This virus does not change what Trump & Co. are doing for tax-paying American citizens in need. And when it came to Harvey in 2017, Texans were fine with the government using my tax dollars for you. I didn't live in Texas. Your problem, right? Hypocrisy is the false profession of desirable or publicly approved qualities, beliefs, or feelings, esp. a pretense of having virtues, moral principles, or religious beliefs that one does not really possess. Like I stated, you are a big fan of socialism today. Anything, to prove loyalty to Trump.

My self righteous "Texas" Hypocrisy is exactly what?? Trump has indeed generated the results I had hoped for....

Absolute bull ****. Trump ran as a Republican, thus you support. Don't pretend to be anything more than a manipulated partisan hack in search of legitimacy. US Bureau of Labor Statistics:

_111437124_us.unemployment-nc.webp

Clearly, the results you were looking for were already happening. Unemployment goes with GDP health. But all you could manage to do was give Trump authorization to take undue credit. Every time he reported the new number in the trend, you and others pretended to be too stupid to see through his game. You were simply too blind in your partisan radical right-wing propaganda to see truth in 2016 and today you prefer to pretend to be obtuse about all of it. Thus, you are clearly full of ****.

he has yet to withhold support why do you lie? i thought leftist hate liars?

he already declared MI a disaster area.

Clearly context is a word you don't understand as once again you point to the u-3 as if it is relevant. Tell me what part time jobs for economic reasons and discouraged workers do to that U-3?? How about explain to us all how after 8 years of Obama the U-6 never got back to pre recession levels?? Oh, by the way when was the Obama stimulus signed for shovel ready jobs and when did the Democrats take over Congress thus the purse strings and legislative responsibility?

As for Welfare payments, that isn't created by the President that is created by Congress. You really do lack any basic civics understanding, since you served, us the GI benefits to educate yourself rather than make a fool out of yourself

That is what radicals do as they are used to having robots and idiots buying everything they say. Waiting for the left to give us factual information as we where Trump withheld support after being asked by the governor of a state?

What the hell would you know about being an American and what is anti American? You use your freedom of speech to make an ass out of yourself

Through his incompetence, cruely and corruption, he has earned the hatred. It is, perhaps, the one thing in his life that he has honestly earned.

She clearly wrote "threats to withhold." Thus your reply makes no sense and actually introduces a lie in order to call her a liar.

Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. But with Trump as your example, you have no uses for such words, do you?
