Trump Signs Executive Order Giving ByteDance 90 Days to Sell US TikTok Business

But of course, you'll believe that Trump created the disease himself in a more far fetched conspiracy.

Nobody is saying this. He said it was a hoax first, then he didn't treat it seriously and kept trying to slow testing, and now he finally treats it seriously months too late. Whether or not China is at fault for the creation of the disease, we've handled it way worse than many other countries. The stats show. Trump has been proven wrong repeatedly since Jan.

Maybe revisit what you've thought about this in the past. I'll bet you were touting the falling death rate a few weeks ago despite the rising infection rate, since Trump was too. But people don't die instantly from covid-19, so the deaths are only starting to spike now.

Trump Campaign: "Pandemic? No, the important thing to Americans right now are privacy issues with a Chinese Social Media app."

Pandemic is blown up over political reasons. Don’t believe me, watch Nov 4th. Doesn’t matter who wins. Nov 5th COVID will be forgotten.

I contract for some of the largest hospitals in HIT, I’ve spoken to many hospital employees who say even people who stay home and/or wear masks get infected, but the numbers are hardly there to support such media attention compared to the average annual flu.

The part of your post that lists all that he's done for the country (and not himself) is missing. Please fix your post.

Don't have too, just open your eyes? Or perhaps you are too blind-sighted by the radical left to see what he's done.

I am not a leftist nor a liberal. And I too would love to see this list of things he has done right for the country and not just his pocket and boost of his image.

That’s actually a very low number considering our population and travel hubs. It’s an airborne virus that presents asymptomatically, impossible to ever contain. It’s never going away and isn’t anyone’s fault regardless of how high the number climbs in the future.

Right, except China has a population four time ours. Wuhan is a city of millions, yet they just had a waterpark festival because Covid is completely under control in China.

We have some of the highest rates of infection and death per capita of any country in the world. That's a fact. It didn't have to be this way at all. Trump is 100% responsible.

While I agree with the effectiveness of epidemic control in Wuhan and that infection risk in Wuhan is very very low at the moment, I wouldn't say that COVID-19 is totally under control in China, at least not in the sense of eradication. The very crowded waterpark festival is a nonnecessary risk and it is not time for complacency. Outbreaks have occurred in Beijing, Dalian, and Urumuqi recently despite social distance measures in place and general awareness of public health. Outbreaks occurs fast and I think people should not lower their alertness too much. Things can turn bad very very quickly.

President Trump certainly bear responsibility for the epidemic situation in the US but I think it is unfair to attribute all responsibility to him. He certainly is responsible for many aspects of the response, e.g. lack of nationwide coordination, conveying the wrong messages, non-scientific suggestions etc. But there are many issues in federal government, state government, and the local government responses. Some of these are policy related and some of these are structural or societal. Putting all blame to him is not totally objective and fair. He has also done things right. I think his policy of financial support for vaccine development and the ramp up of testing (although coming a bit too late) are good efforts. People's frustration to his epidemic response is very understandable and very justified, I just do not think we should put all blames to him.
