sorry wrong forum lol

 

kingdragonfly: Trump ‘didn’t know people died from the flu.’ It killed his grandfather.

Bloomberg has been made into the butt of a joke following the failure of his expensive ad campaign, but he may better be termed a hero if his further spending helps defeat Trump. This is a man putting up hundred of millions of his own money. I think that is deserving of some credit. The fact that American elections can be swayed by money is immoral in itself, but it's not the fault of whoever takes advantage of it.

The New York Times - For Trump, Coronavirus Proves to Be an Enemy He Can’t Tweet Away

today

For a president who lives in the moment, rarely planning too far ahead, the coronavirus has proved to be a leadership challenge he was not prepared for ... 

 

The outbreak that has rattled the nation does not respond to Mr. Trump’s favorite instruments of power: It cannot be cowed by Twitter posts, it cannot be shot down by drones, it cannot be overcome by party solidarity, it cannot be overpowered by campaign rally chants. ...

 

He has expressed an astonishing lack of knowledge while at the same time claiming to be a medical savant. 

 

He has treated the crisis as a partisan battle, wearing his red Keep America Great campaign cap to the C.D.C. and calling the governor presiding over the state with the highest death toll a “snake.” ...

 

“We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus,” he wrote on Twitter moments after arriving at his golf club in West Palm Beach, where he played with several members of the World Series champion Washington Nationals. ...

But do Americans care? Maybe they think the virus was activated over Huawei's 5G devices?

Nov 3. Thats 8 months away. China contained it in 4 months. lets assume Italy and others are similar. The US has no clue. CNN have a number of experts with detailed knowledge telling us how many test kits there are and will be. All way different.By November most countries "should" be over the peak of Coronavirus, I cannot see that being the case for the US, as high levels of self isolation and aggressive lockdowns (both very effective tools) just won't happen. They won't happen. As usual, at the highest level it will be rhetoric and blame, than action. 

Just remember - Trump owns this day.

With the price of oil dropping like a stone, US shale oil producers are in trouble. They will become uneconomic and a lot are in debt up to their eyebrows apparently and they are what made the US oil independent.

The US economy could easily slip into recession which would go very badly for the 'deal maker' in the eyes of the US public.

Apparently Trump admitted he did not know Influenza killed people. If true that is scary but not surprising.

I don't think Trump knows where Australia is.

I don't think Scott Morrison knows where Australia is

Put it this way. I'd be surprised if he knew where Australia is. Maybe I've been watching too much Jimmy Kimmel. And there is no suggestion that Trump knows any more stuff than these fellas. But he is the POTUS and I'm not. So what do I know.
