The hypocrisy is yours. Anyone who saw this coming and said something was attacked by the President and his media machine for spreading a hoax. And now the President and his media machine are blaming anyone who said anything for not doing anything, even though that is obviously the President's job. And all you're doing here is carrying the President's water, apologizing for the incompetence of his leadership with straw men and lies. Sad!
I believe the new White House Press Secretary was the one saying back in February that Dems were spreading the virus "hoax" because "they want millions of Americans to die."
That's a valid criticism. But on the other hand, if covid19 hadn't been as serious as it is, Trump would have been called a racist for imposing the travel ban from China.
Sure, but long after he was repeatedly told how serious it was he still did nothing and continued actively lying to the public about it.
Tens of thousands of people packed into planes for hours at a time from countries suffering from an epidemic isn't an issue at all. This is a logical and well reasoned response from the top experts in the field, we should listen to them. Close social contact is harmless.The WHO stance on travel

WHO continues to advise against the application of travel or trade restrictions to countries experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks.
No doubt he screwed the pooch, though I understand his thinking. Personally, I assumed the thing would burn out very rapidly when it came up against first world medicine. Turns out I'm not infallible.
If the foo shits, wear it.
Lol.
You must believe in American exceptionalism.
The weirdest thing about the believers in American exceptionalism is that they keep trying to make America like every shithole in the world, with a tinpot dictator who does nothing but steal the public's money and tell lies but can't be held accountable, protectionist trade and immigration policies that harm the economy, all backed by racist/bigoted sentiment that foolishly believes that patriotism means hating and oppressing their own countrymen for being different than them.
Yeah, by blaming everyone else.
I’m unclear why you think that’s a problem, can you elaborate? If anything the comparison is unfair to GWB as he had to react in the moment. Trump on the other hand had months to do something and instead did nothing - sorry, not nothing, he actively lied and misinformed the nation. It was worse than nothing.
