This has been my suspicion of his much of his support, it's not so much for him as it is against others. He won, not on his own, but because Hillary made two missteps:
1. She assumed the wins in PA, WI and MI, and didn't even go to WI. A state that gave the world Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, Ron Johnson and Rience Priebus but still strongly supported Obama and Senator Tammy Baldwin.
2. Her negative were so high, and she was such a motivational figure for the other side, she should have sat it out. (Not to Bernie, but Joe).
tRump drives us insane- right to the ballot box. If you keep laughing at the crazy on my side but, not watch the turnouts under tRump then you are going to ******* your pants in anger on election night. Like the moderates and independents and even some Dems in 2016, we are now strongly motivated by the current President to replace him. And that coalition of moderates, independents and suburban flippers are strongly behind removing tRump and Biden is a comfortable choice but, he is secondary to POTUS.
Not sure what numbers you think I need to check. I'm well aware of the Spanish flu data. 2.5% is a commonly cited mortality rate for the Spanish flu. We don't have precise numbers as our testing abilities and records weren't what they are today. Is COVID "in the same scale" as the Spanish flu....certainly not yet....would be nice to keep it that way....or hell why not have a parade???
[One hundred years after the "Spanish" flu] - PubMed
The "Spanish" flu pandemic, which occurred a century ago, is considered the most devastating in human history. An estimated one third of world population fell ill with flu and more than 2.5% of them died. The course of the epidemic had two main waves (1918 and 1919) and showed an unusual...

Has medicine improved in 100 years, of course, dramatically. However, we haven't come up with magic bullets for viral pneumonias like COVID becomes in severe cases. We have some anti-viral medicines, but their efficacy hasn't been great so far with COVID. We largely provide supportive care to hopefully keep you on this side of the dirt long enough for your body to figure out how to beat the virus. However, there's limited quantities of the critical supportive care available. When the number of cases swamp the system, that critical supportive care has to get rationed and mortality rates spike.
You bring up SARS which is also a corona virus as is MERS, but both are significantly different epidemiologically. There's been far fewer cases of these in history, roughly 8,000 SARS and 2,000 MERS. Neither SARS or MERS are as infectious as COVID. This current corona virus is easily transmitted person to person and has the nasty habit of making people shed the virus significantly prior to the onset of symptoms, making it prone to rapid spread by the unknowingly infected populace. It's a good thing SARS and MERS weren't as infectious as COVID....they had mortality rates of about 10% and 30% respectively.
Ask Joe Diffie if this is just a bad flu....believe you'll find him propped up beside the jukebox....
hey good news.....trump says if we can hold the deaath rate to 100 thousand he will have done a good job.....that must be trumptard standards because when it comes to trump we know they have no standards
Trump LIES his ass off and YOU know it, just FAIL to realize that because you're so BUSY trusting in him! And, by the way, I am NOT a Democrat AT ALL! Oh, I see because I DISLIKE Trump, now I'm a Democrat? Lmao, *******, I know some Republicans who have a STRONG DISLIKE for Trump, more than me! I like them though because unlike the Trump CULT, they have ACTUALLY done their research on Trump!

I always knew that Trump is a LIAR, but damn he lies that much?

Trump says 'with me, there is no lying' after lying 15,000 times in office
Trump has averaged roughly 15 false or misleading comments per day while he's been in office, according to the Washington Post.

shouldn't have to kiss his ass to get aid and save peoples lives.....I guess if you live in a state where trump doesn't like the governor.....the people there die.....what a fuckhead!
Governors shrug off Trump's insults as they plead for federal aid
WASHINGTON ā Wary of President Trumpās criticism that they were ungrateful for his management of the coronavirus crisis, governors of several of the hardest-hit states sought gingerly Sunday to avoid provoking him anew and risk losing desperately needed federal aid.
Despite the drastic shutdown of much of the country, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the governmentās top infectious-disease specialist, warned Sunday that 100,000 to 200,000 Americans might die before the pandemic eases. More than 2,400 had died as of Sunday.
Several governors made clear they fear inadvertently harming their own citizens if they are too strident in demands for desperately needed medical supplies, or if they clash too publicly with Trump over pandemic policy as the contagion spreads.
So they took a new tack, articulating their statesā needs while ignoring Trumpās insults and demands.
got to wonder why anyone would vote for a fucking republican

1- TSA does not run security at all Airports. San Francisco didnāt take the TSA and use a private company. They have quicker better passenger experience moving through security and pass all of the tests, while the TSA run point donāt
2- Most roads are already built by private contractors and most new roads are built by private developers. And tolls are the solution for governments who canāt manage money, so they create private public partnerships run by private and pay to public.
3- Schools- Or you could assign the money to the student and the student go to the best provider for his/her needs. You do know that the school model we use was develop in late 19th century to train women to be factory workers. Not to educate students.
4- There are private fire departments and they are paid by fee structure per property.
And with fire you donāt go everywhere. You go to your districts decided by government and paid for by ****** taxation of those residents and businesses. A private ******* couldnāt do that? And yes in history there were corrupt private forces as opposed to the current wasteful corrupt government services we have now. Except when private I can change service. I canāt do that with corrupt wasteful government.
The bottom line is you believe without government we canāt deliver services to citizens. The fact is we can. That fact is government has no competition and therefore they never get better or more efficient just more intrusive and controlling.

Oh we are watching those numbers closely. And we are noticing some trends around all the Dem Totals not being even close to Trumps numbers. Oh don't count on the people you thinks are with you. After the Dems performance this four years you have some major pain coming. You stand with people who have bragged in public, on TV and even on here about, "they want America to fall and go bankrupt so Trump supports will suffer." That will be shown over and over to everyone we know.
But the good party you have Confused Sleepy Joe and a Communist as your candidates.
I KNEW it! So, you do TRUST Trump as much as that guy LIES! Smh, I cannot believe this! Wow, he has a STRONG CULT following! Can't deny that! If Trump was to jump out off of a cliff, I bet @cpl2010co will follow close by READY to follow his MENTOR right OFF that cliff!

Medical, Diet, health, cleanliness, density of population, sanitation, ventilators. education, and countless other things are significantly improved. But again you are missing the scale. You keep pointing to rates, per your claim, for 2 years. You are avoiding the hyper initial spread rates. Also, you are trying to leveraging large numbers and declining rates to use the average rates. The fact is the current numbers and rates don't back the claims. We are still talking about estimates and questionable numbers. WHO is admitting the numbers were double because they fucked up the counting model.
We are 4 months in, likely 5 to 6 in reality, and by this timeframe in the epidemic the Spanish Flu had Million to 2 Million, probably more, cases worldwide. And the infection rate was much, much, much, much higher then the extreme scare estimates are now.
Sad. You are so simple.
Sad your mental derangement won't let you realize just because I hate your death cult sociopathic ideology does not mean I support Trump's megalomania. I could be using Trump and his control over your mind to expose your ideology.
You are sad because you are so blind that Trump is USING you! You DON'T support Trump, yet you voted for him! Are you sure you aren't suffering from amnesia because it sounds like you aren't even sure what your IDEOLOGY is? Yea, right, you knew what my ideology was claiming that I'm a Democrat, which was hilarious! LMAO! Your attempt though at controlling of the mind STILL needs some practiceSad. You are so simple.

! Lol, mental derangement? Nah, I call that being ALERT of what Trump is trying to do because it's all a GAME to him, hence how he is able TO HAVE so many uninformed individuals WRAPPED around his finger like a CULT!

It's what happens when you repeat his own words back to him
Trump clashes with reporter during coronavirus briefing: 'Be nice'
President Trump clashed with a reporter on Sunday during a press briefing on the coronavirus outbreak in the Rose Garden.
PBS NewsHour reporter Yamiche Alcindor questioned the president during the briefing about recent comments made by Trump during an interview with Fox News's Sean Hannity over whether some requests made by governors related to the outbreak were overblown or unnecessary.
Trump responded by first denying that he had made the comments, which were reported by multiple news outlets at the time, before accusing Alcindor of acting "threatening" during the briefing.
"Why don't you act in a little more positive...it's always get ya, get ya, get ya," Trump said to Alcindor. "You know what? That's why nobody trusts the media anymore."
"That's why you used to work for the [New York] Times and now you work for somebody else," he continued, speaking to Alcindor. "Look, let me tell you something: Be nice. Don't be threatening."
Trump has frequently clashed with reporters in public statements and on social media in recent days over his own comments about the coronavirus outbreak, which earlier this year he stressed was under control in the U.S. The United States now has more confirmed cases of the virus than anywhere in the world, including China, where it is thought to have originated.
On Friday, he told Hannity that he doubted the necessity of some requests for assistance by state governors including New York's Andrew Cuomo (D), who has requested 30,000 ventilators for the state's hospitals
"I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to be," Trump told the Fox News pundit on Friday. "I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You go into major hospitals sometimes, and they'll have two ventilators. And now, all of a sudden, they're saying, 'Can we order 30,000 ventilators?

Trump Said He Was the President of Manufacturing. Then Disaster Struck.
When President Trump came to office, he promised a new day with Americaās manufacturers, casting himself as the first president who understood their needs. He toured factory floors, often handing out his signature āMake America Great Againā hats.
Yet in the first national crisis that required harnessing American manufacturing ingenuity and ramping up production of ventilators, perhaps the most crucial piece of equipment for patients in crisis, the White Houseās ability to gather the power of American industry crumpled.
It was unable to communicate how many ventilators it would need or how quickly it would need them. Mr. Trump set states off on a mad scramble to find their own, leading to bidding wars against one another. Even today it is unclear who is deciding where the new American production will be directed ā to the highest bidders or to the cities that need them most.
A week after praising General Motors and a small ventilator manufacturer, Ventec Life Systems, for their voluntary efforts to combine cutting-edge technology with G.M.ās expertise at supply chains and mass production, the president blew up at the worldās largest carmaker, accusing its chief executive, Mary T. Barra, of moving too slowly and trying to ārip offā the federal government. In fact, G.M. and Ventec had already signed a partnership ā without government help ā to ramp up production.
Interviews with White House officials, industry executives and outsiders who tried to intervene make two problems clear. Mr. Trumpās first mistake was recognizing the problem far too late, even though his own medical experts had identified a probable shortage of ventilators as a critical problem in late January, as panic set in that the virus was headed to the United States. Had the president acted sooner, thousands of new ventilators would probably be coming off production lines next month, when they are likely to be desperately needed.

U.S. poised for hellish month as coronavirus surges
Tens of thousands of doctors, academics and nurses were scheduled to descend Monday on McCormick Place, Chicago's giant convention center that was supposed to host the American College of Cardiology's annual scientific sessions.
Instead, McCormick Place will open this week as a field hospital, eventually expanding to accommodate as many as 3,000 people in need of care from the deadly coronavirus exploding inside the United States.
Officials across the country are bracing for the worst public health crisis in a century, a crisis that will become starkly severe this week.
Beginning this week, some hospitals are expected to reach their maximum capacity, case counts will rise exponentially, and the number of available ventilators and beds in ICUs will plummet. Models and projections show the month of April will be a public health catastrophe unlike anything in modern memory.
Tens of thousands of Americans are likely to die from the coronavirus in the coming weeks, a consequence of American leaders failing to heed the lessons learned in other countries about the value and success of taking drastic steps.
New York already has more than 50,000 cases, and officials worry they will soon see new clusters explode in New Orleans, Chicago and Detroit
"No state, no metro area will be spared, and the sooner we react and the sooner the states and the metro areas react and ensure that they put in full mitigation, at the same time understanding exactly what their hospitals need, then we'll be able to move forward together and protect the most Americans," Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus response coordinator, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press.".
Birx is coordinating a response that began too late and has acted too slowly, months after President Trump, who on Sunday extended the federal government's social distancing guidelines after talking up the idea of reopening parts of the economy by Easter Sunday, downplayed the seriousness of the threat, a tone that sent the wrong signal to the rest of the administration.
Trump continued to play down the threat throughout February and early March, despite increasingly agitated warnings from the administration's own public health officials and from outside experts.
The U.S. now has more confirmed coronavirus cases than any other nation, and the number is growing more rapidly than anywhere else.
The number of confirmed cases has grown by almost 20,000 per day in the last three days alone. The number of new cases will rise even more quickly in the next few weeks, as will the number of deaths.
"There is no credible way to say that we didn't see this sort of event coming, and there's no credible way to say we didn't think it would do in the U.S. what it did in China," said Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development who oversaw the U.S. Agency for International Development's response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014 and 2015.
Ugly scenes in China and Italy, two of the world's hardest-hit countries, are set to be replayed in the United States. In both of those countries, the number of deaths rose so rapidly that morgues and crematoria were overwhelmed, leaving coffins and body bags piled in parking lots.
New York City officials have told the Department of Homeland Security that its morgues are already nearing capacity.
Trump and other officials who compared the coronavirus to the flu are set to the see fatalities from the coronavirus far exceed the seasonal illness's death toll.
An analysis by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington found that between 38,000 and 162,000 Americans will die of the coronavirus in the next four months alone. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday the death toll could come close to 200,000 in the space of a few months. A recent model from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed a worst-case scenario in which as many as 1.7 million Americans would die.
Some governors across the country have taken decisive action to shut down society as much as possible, conscious that the economic damage they are doing is nothing compared to a nightmare scenario where the virus causes both economic catastrophe and human calamity. The governors, Democratic and Republican alike, have put their careers and reputations on the line to ******* disruptive measures that will nonetheless save lives.
But many say they are still staring at apocalyptic scenarios in their own backyards, with little help from a federal government that downplayed the extent of the danger and failed to stock up on the necessary supplies.

President Donald Trump blamed his predecessor for a nationwide shortage of test kits for the novel coronavirus and claimed to have ended regulations put in place by Barack Obamaās administration that limited the development of the diagnostic tools.
Trump attempts to blame Obama for coronavirus test kit shortage
President vaguely attacks Obama administration ādecisionā amid slow rollout of testing for virus
Donald Trump sought to shift blame on to the Obama administration for a nationwide coronavirus test kit shortage.
The president on Wednesday blamed a federal agency decision during Barack Obamaās presidency, which Trump said made it harder to quickly roll out testing for the virus.
āThe Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what weāre doing, and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place in a much more accurate and rapid fashion,ā he told reporters during a White House meeting with airline executives, whom he had called to discuss the economic effects of the outbreak.
āThat was a decision we disagreed with,ā he said. āI donāt think we would have made it, but for some reason, it was made.ā
It was unclear what decision Trump was referring to. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said private laboratories used to be able to develop clinical tests but āin the previous administration that became regulated. For someone to do that they had to file with the FDAā, Redfield said.
But experts on lab testing have said they are unaware of an Obama administration rule that would have hindered the use of tests developed at university or private labs in an emergency.
The responsibility for the coronavirus test kit shortage appears to lie with the CDCās choice to develop and distribute its own kit rather than use the one recommended by the World Health Organization, according to ProPublica. But the CDCās tests didnāt work, falsely flagging harmless samples that contained viruses other than Covid-19.
Moreover, Trump ordered the dissolution of the National Security Councilās global health security unit and reassigned its head. The former national security adviser John Bolton also pressured the teamās counterpart at the Department of Homeland Security to resign.
Trump attacked Democrats for warning of the seriousness of the crisis while spreading disinformation and downplaying the outbreak, his critics have said.
Two days before he was announced as a member of the White House taskforce on coronavirus, Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, declared coronavirus ācontainedā in the US, despite a plethora of data that suggested it was not.
āI wonāt say airtight, but itās pretty close to airtight,ā Kudlow told CNBC, swaddling himself in a comforting narrative that was probably destroyed in his first meeting with the task *******.
Last week, a senior health department official alleged that she was retaliated against after raising concerns that staff had been sent to assist Americans evacuated from China because of coronavirus without proper training or appropriate protective gear.
āIf efforts are being made to muzzle them, to control messaging so that it suits the political needs of the administration,ā Michael Carome of Public Citizen, a not-for-profit consumer advocacy organization, said, āthatās ultimately going to endanger the public.ā

Trump attempts to blame Obama for coronavirus test kit shortage
President vaguely attacks Obama administration ādecisionā amid slow rollout of testing for virus
Donald Trump sought to shift blame on to the Obama administration for a nationwide coronavirus test kit shortage.
The president on Wednesday blamed a federal agency decision during Barack Obamaās presidency, which Trump said made it harder to quickly roll out testing for the virus.
āThe Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what weāre doing, and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place in a much more accurate and rapid fashion,ā he told reporters during a White House meeting with airline executives, whom he had called to discuss the economic effects of the outbreak.
āThat was a decision we disagreed with,ā he said. āI donāt think we would have made it, but for some reason, it was made.ā
It was unclear what decision Trump was referring to. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said private laboratories used to be able to develop clinical tests but āin the previous administration that became regulated. For someone to do that they had to file with the FDAā, Redfield said.
But experts on lab testing have said they are unaware of an Obama administration rule that would have hindered the use of tests developed at university or private labs in an emergency.
The responsibility for the coronavirus test kit shortage appears to lie with the CDCās choice to develop and distribute its own kit rather than use the one recommended by the World Health Organization, according to ProPublica. But the CDCās tests didnāt work, falsely flagging harmless samples that contained viruses other than Covid-19.
Moreover, Trump ordered the dissolution of the National Security Councilās global health security unit and reassigned its head. The former national security adviser John Bolton also pressured the teamās counterpart at the Department of Homeland Security to resign.
Trump attacked Democrats for warning of the seriousness of the crisis while spreading disinformation and downplaying the outbreak, his critics have said.
Two days before he was announced as a member of the White House taskforce on coronavirus, Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, declared coronavirus ācontainedā in the US, despite a plethora of data that suggested it was not.
āI wonāt say airtight, but itās pretty close to airtight,ā Kudlow told CNBC, swaddling himself in a comforting narrative that was probably destroyed in his first meeting with the task *******.
Last week, a senior health department official alleged that she was retaliated against after raising concerns that staff had been sent to assist Americans evacuated from China because of coronavirus without proper training or appropriate protective gear.
āIf efforts are being made to muzzle them, to control messaging so that it suits the political needs of the administration,ā Michael Carome of Public Citizen, a not-for-profit consumer advocacy organization, said, āthatās ultimately going to endanger the public.ā

Trump Calls Governor Whitmer āThe Woman In Michiganā During Coronavirus Press Conference
Trump said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and others arenāt āappreciativeā of him
As states continue to sound the alarms about the lack of personal protective equipment and ventilators in their hospitals, Trump decided it would be a good time to threaten certain states with no help because they donāt āappreciateā him. He took particular aim at the state of Michigan and their governor, Gretchen Whitmer, who he referred to as āthe woman in Michigan.ā
During his press conference on Friday, Trump told reporters that he instructed Vice President Mike Pence to not call Whitmer or the Washington governor Jay Inslee (who he also did not refer to by name). Trump said that even though both states are pleading for federal government aid, they havenāt been āappreciativeā enough of Trumpās coronavirus efforts thus far.
āI tell him ā I mean Iām a different type of person ā I say, āMike, donāt call the governor in Washington, youāre wasting your time with him. Donāt call the woman in Michigan,āā Trump said. āIf they donāt treat you right, I donāt call.ā
Trump continued his rant, explaining that governors that criticize him and his administrationās response is unpatriotic and should somehow be punished because of it.āWhen theyāre not appreciative to me, theyāre not appreciative to the Army Corps, theyāre not appreciative to FEMA,ā Trump said. āItās not right.ā
During an interview with Fox Newās Sean Hannity on Thursday night, Trump also said the Michigan governor ā whose name he forgot ā is ānot stepping up. I donāt know if she knows whatās going on. But all she does is sit there and blame the federal government.ā
āHi, my name is Gretchen Whitmer, and that governor is me,ā Whitmer wrote in response on Twitter. āIāve asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits. You said you stand with Michigan ā prove it.ā
āWhat Iāve gotten back is that vendors with whom weāve procured contracts ā theyāre being told not to send stuff to Michigan,ā she told WWJ 950. āItās really concerning. I reached out to the White House last night and asked for a phone call with the president, ironically at the time this stuff was going on.ā
Right now, we all need to be focused on fighting the virus, not each other. Iām willing to work with anyone as long as we get the personal protective equipment we need for the people of Michigan. https://t.co/sVZry3weUw

Whitmer then took to Twitter again, saying, āright now, we all need to be focused on fighting the virus, not each other. Iām willing to work with anyone as long as we get the personal protective equipment we need for the people of Michigan.ā
What a shame that the president is putting his petty ego grievances above the health of an entire state of people.
