The biggest mistake was trying to craft a one size fits all solution to very disparate situations across the country during winter and early spring.
But by the summer, the evidence was growing even though much of it was being censored, squelched, memory holed with doctors being attacked for speaking up at what they were seeing. Videos and podcasts were taken down from youtube. People were censored, shadow banned or just plain booted off of twitter.
If we were having difficulty getting accurate and contrarian information to the preferred narrative, what was Trump being told? What was Pence being told? Pence was in charge, wasn't he?
To use an old question, "What did the President know and when did he know it?"

Considering I had enough information from podcasts and the internet in April to know enough, Trump has no excuses.
And they don't know DeSantis did that because they only care about being entertained.J. Walter Weatherman said:
Anyone who thinks DeSantis, who literally removed his surgeon general from a Covid briefing IN APRIL in the middle of a press conference for saying people would need to social distance for up to a year and that the virus was dangerous to young people (it's not), would have operated the same as Trump is just choosing to be embarrassingly, willfully ignorant of DeSantis record during Covid. And the only reason they downplay it is to ignore Trump's massive Covid failure because he's a coward.

I mean, DeSantis actually did the same thing too. His approach of who to give treatment to first and plan around specific populations like the elderly was based off the data from Italy and a couple of other European countries.aggiehawg said:I bow to your superior intellect, research skills, and limitless time in which to do so.shack009 said:aggiehawg said:What happens in Florida in winter is not the same as what happens in the northern states during winter, especially in densely populated areas.

Good thing you didn't have a country to run during that time period. Might have been a distraction.

I'm sick of the goaltending for his COVID policy. The guy dropped the ball, plain and simple. He gets an F- for all of 2020, including nearly $3 trillion in spending.
All was good, easy victory coming...Except...he was being impeached for the 2nd time by the democrats for Ukraine of all things. IF he had not complied with the CDC, he would have been ran out of town.
I remember the who state of Texas shut down, friends acting crazy with the mask, CNN showing mass graves, NO VENTILATORS!!!! Hospitals overworked, no ICU beds, GOD HELP US!!!!
PANDEMIC...Millions dying!
I also remember him refusing to wear the mask, Byrd and Facci claiming he was not doing enough. Trump recommended Hydroxychloroquin and the press went crazy.
The whole world shut down, no stopping it.
Selective memory by liberals and never Trumpers dude.
The COVID allowed the folks to pass new laws which in turn produced voter harvesting which caused 81,000,000 for Biden...

The anti DeSantis propaganda and trump goaltending is unreal. I think I saw the half truth above that not all restrictions were lifted in Florida until September. That may be technically true, but the state was basically open to normies in June.
Stop rewriting history. Your choice for President, Biden, is A-okay perfect on covid?shack009 said:
Trump and his followers are a lot alike. No idea what happened in 2020 and reserved to lying and pointing blame elsewhere for the failures of the man at the top.

I'm not saying DeSantis should drop out now, at all. He could get traction in the next few primaries. But it's really not likely. The butt hurt and pearl clutching on F16 is going to be epic if the time comes that he has to drop out.
Agthatbuilds said:
I'm planning on voting for him should he be on the primary when it's our turn.
But, I kinda agree. What's the point of continuing on? Put that money to better use.

Here's a weird thought: just because I'm not for Trump, doesn't mean I'm for Biden.

But your ARE rewriting history and being completely disingenuous to support your point…
A ton of people did their best with Covid, and those same people, in hindsight, absolutely could have done better…that goes for Trump and DeSantis…
But you can't just walk around here like DeSantis was God's gift to Covid response and ignore the actual facts…
Further, you completely ignore the fact that Trump was dealing with an entire nation, not a single state, and that nation was about equal blue/red, and DeSantis wasn't fresh of impeachment attempt #1 over a completely bogus charge…
You're making it sound like they were equals…the situations were completely different, and even still, FL had restrictions until September…that's fact…
Yes, many were lifted by June, but the federal lifts came less than a month later…
You can't just invent lies and expect people to not call BS…
FireAg said:
Completely false…you're writing your narrative devoid of fact…
He didn't cower…he listened to his expert…DeSantis would have done the same…
DeSantis might not.

Trump sure hired a lot of traitors. Was that in the job description?shack009 said:Relax man. I'm not saying the military is against Trump. I understand that Trump has a ton of support among the non-bureaucrat-level service members.stallion6 said:Learn to read. Justifying your reading comprehension challenge is actually "clockwork". I disagreed with the statement that the entire military turned on Trump. Having spent 26 years in the army, I can tell you that is not accurate. Your statement that "well Trump hired Milley" has absolutely nothing to do with the point that you grouped all of us with Milley. I take exception to that.shack009 said:Clockworkstallion6 said:Not sure what that has to do with the comment about the entire military. Maybe read before posting.

Just Liberal, Woke Milley.C@LAg said:
Trump has been the Dems ***** for 8 years now. That is not going to stop any time soon.
1. No major legislation passed on his watch.
2. He spent $8TT that the dems gorged on, as did the Republicans. S much for him being "conservative".
3. He got used and abused by the Executive branch, who worked against him
4. The military hated him so much they actively worked against him
5. Republican leadership hated and still hates him and barely is willing to work with him. He is going to bring down the ticket in one or both houses.
6. DOJ has tied him up for pretty much the entire time.
7. He is bleeding millions in ongoing lawsuits that divide his time.
8. He has almost no useful or powerful allies. Anywhere.
The senile buffoon in the White House who cannot prepare cereal for himself is going to beat him in the general election. For a second time.
He is a dead candidate walking.
The Milley that Trump appointed?
Milley turned out to be a traitor. Bad pick by Trump that he should have listened when others advised against it. You can see who Milley is not that he is retired. The Milley that is in Davos at the WEF with all the other corrupt leaders.
Just pointing out another bad appointment by Trump, which was a daily occurrence in his presidency. And then when that guy turns out to be bad, he's a "traitor" to Trump. It's a tale as old as time.
That was the only good thing he did - let the states decide.FireAg said:
What law did Trump pass to shut down the country?
Weren't shutdowns left up to state and local authorities based on the advice of the CDC?
