As a Brit we're limited in what we see on the news so I'm curious what the general feeling is towards Trump at the moment. Is his handling of the crisis even turning the most sycophantic supporters off him or does he still have a loyal fan base that thinks he can do no wrong?

This is sort of a uniquely bad crisis for Trump, since he cares more about "not looking bad" than the actual outcome, but whereas in something like dealing with North Korea it just means a lot of bluster but no real threat, here it means doing more to keep reported numbers down than actually fixing anything.

i think i actually agree with the sentiment that the outbreak will help biden and hurt trump. it's an edge biden needs, and he needs all the help he can get come this november. like others have mentioned, trump cares about image and because this very real threat is at our very real door step, he's stuck in a sort of weird limbo between doing nothing, acting like it's nothing and coming off macho while fucking over the citizens or actually showing concern, doing something, and seeming "weak" to his base.
it's a problem absolutely endemic to trump and the entire republican base. there's such an emphasis on being 'tough,' that the moment you actually show any sort of weakness it's like bleeding while swimming with sharks. he can't look weak, and take action. but he can't be tough, and do nothing. dude's stuck between a rock and a hard place, and it's actually entertaining to watch him squirm. --- take me somewhere nice "Miss, can you tell me your address?

However, last night around 9pm EST, a very somber-looking Trump was on tv talking about travel bans and bailouts. We all knew he was going to mess this up but its even more disappointing watching it unfold. --- the polyfilla way look strong in the weakness of the gaps ... Copied to Clipboard!

President Trump made the right decision when he put blocks on China over a month ago, back when others didn't and our press said he was "overreacting". Now that other countries have failed to adopt these measures, it creates a larger challenge, but the president gave us precious time and has proven he's serious by blocking the EU.
Makes you wonder why we don't do this to China every year to save lives from the flu, until they get their sanitation act together. --- Hero/Legend of 2020, Lover of life,free speech,etc. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1196- The man who cared too much.

Some people think hes doing a good job with certain aspects.
https://www.newsweek.com/californias-democrat-governor-praises-trumps-coronavirus-response-every-single-thing-he-said-1491294 Theres a lot to criticize however. Specifically, he may have kept up the attempt to keep people from panicking for too long. Also, the rolling out of testing has been a mess, and since Trump is technically in charge of the CDC, its on him. Ive had a bad feeling for weeks that hes been trying to keep people as calm as possible for as long as possible because hes aware of things we arent. Like its a whole lot worse than anyone could imagine and its already everywhere. And he is just buying time while they quietly prepare the inevitable martial law that was going to be a necessity. Hopefully Im just paranoid. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is his handling of the crisis even turning the most sycophantic supporters off him or does he still have a loyal fan base that thinks he can do no wrong? You do realize that about a month ago when he blocked flights from China, he was said to be overreacting, and was called racist for doing that, right? Now his critics are saying he hasnt done enough. You do realize how stupid this is, right? Explain the contradiction that I just spelled out for you, smart guy. While Im not saying that Trump necessarily handled this crisis particularly well, considering what I just said, his critics dont really have any wiggle room here for being credible. If youre someone who complained that Trump blocked flights from China, but are now saying that he didnt do enough, then there might be something wrong with you.

Were you one of those guys screaming that Trump is racist for blocking Chinese planes, and then a few days later crying that El Trumpo didnt do enough to contain the virus? Im still waiting for an explanation on how that makes sense. Dont worry, Ill wait as long as it takes. Boombam99 posted...

Now his critics are saying he hasnt done enough. You do realize how stupid this is, right? Explain the contradiction that I just spelled out for you, smart guy. No, I didnt scream racist when he blocked flights from China, because its as effective at stopping a pandemic as blocking flights from Europe... in other words, its worth fuck all when all you have to do is get to a country we arent blocking and fly over to the US from there. Or fly to Canada and drive over. Its a fucking non-plan that does nothing to stop the spread of a virus thats already fucking here. --- "Sigs are for dorks."-- my wife ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's about slowing it down to the point it becomes more manageable. To use made up numbers it's a lot easier to deal with 100 people being ill a week for 10 weeks than 1000 people all getting ill in the same week. --- Praxis Makes Perfect The only intelligent tactical response to life's horror is to laugh defiantly at it. ~Soren Kierkegaard ...
