Well, no. Right now we're just figuring out who pays. We'll eventually circle back to Jimjams point but for now let's agree to a little evil.

Im angry to reply because I have replied how it could have been handled better like 50 times.

Getting on TV and telling them it will go away by summer is not handling it well. Telling people that injecting disinfectant only made the economy more uncertain. Demanding states open schools without any action plan on how to do that that makes people feel safe is not handling it well. Making people hate CDC, not handling it well. Making people hate fauci, not handing it well. Saying your own medical experts that publicly disagree with you about masks are wrong, is not handling it well. Any state that did anything that he didn't say they should do he said was wrong, and suggested is a political attack against him.

Part and parcel, trump has taken uncertainty, and made it uncertain.

Aight lol so much of this is wrong but ill keep it short. He never told people to "inject disinfectant" again another liberal media talking point literally go watch the clip and write down his exact words if your listening comprehension is that bad. He said they were "looking into disinfectants and were gonna see if there was some way they can maybe inject it" he didn't literally go up there and say "start injecting yourselves with bleach america". He said he would quote "urge governors to open up schools" and the ACTUAL CDC DIRECTOR agreed with him, watch the fuckin video stop reading media headlines. Its not his job to come up with the action plans for schools reopening.. they come up with the action plan, which they should have already been working on the minute they closed. The part about him "making people hate the CDC" is just flat out wrong I havent heard that from any of the conservatives I know. Same goes for the statement about Dr. Fauci.

The only part of your post I agree with is his fumb'ing on the issue of masks. It seems completely unnecessary to be divided on the issue of masks, they do no harm and even if their effectiveness is up for debate it doesn't hurt to just wear it.

If only Jib was in charge we would be sitting at 4,000 deaths.

well I'm not going to go looking through this massive thread for your posts so I'm going to just go with the easy out in thinking that trump and the dozens of qualified individuals advising him who have the intel and see the whole picture to provide informed input probably know better than a p99 forum quester on how to properly handle a potential epidemic of a slightly more infectious and deadlier version of what is basically the flu (which we do absolutely nothing about besides provide a "flu shot" in which 60,000 people still die from every year on average)

But even if there was a better way it could have been handled you are delusional if you think the democrats would have handled it any better, sorry.

They would have dropped the ball early on, but they definitely would have handled it better overall. Say what you will about democrats, literally anything was better than a country so afraid it had 100+ days of national riots and no end in sight to our shut downs, it doesn't get worse than that bud.

Well you lost me now, dropping the ball early on is the worst thing in a rapidly spreading virus. That is the critical point. You can handle it much easier if you are strict on the initial outbreak. You can say they would have handled it better on but that comes down to a matter of opinion and I just completely disagree. Democrats making themselves look good to their voter base with 20/20 hindsight vision.

Blaming the riots on Trump is an effective scapegoat in todays climate but there were many underlying issues leading up to the still ongoing riots that Trump had no control over. Also look at the people rioting. Its all liberals. They are literally exacerbating a bad situation into a much worse situation and trying to point the blame elsewhere. Conveniently leading up to an election where the liberals want the incumbent out so bad they are literally hoping he dies or someone assassinates him.

I didn't say that trump didn't also drop the ball, they just picked it up faster, he kept hemming and hawing and calling them wimps.
