    So it is whataboutism to point out inaccurate statements. You can just say any line of BS and if it is challenged it is whataboutism? Speaking of delusional.

    Jake just keep in mind when you read, every post is an exercise in futility. While perspective and reading is interesting but in the end it is all pointless. Nobody here has been converted by anything they have read here.

    Because he left mardi gras open and beaches in FL for spring break when this all started? Plenty of blame to be passed around.


    I guess my point was I dont think I've ever seen someone be criticized for not doin anything but also being the blame of every crap situation that occurs. Nobody woulda stopped what we're dealing with now, and even if by some stroke of luck they did lessen the effects the global reach of the pandemic would have resulted in the same economic situation we're in now. It's almost impossible not to have been effected.

    Yea, but if you're talking about a statement made in 2016, why not use that stement and not something said 2 years earlier.

    Playing devils advocate.

    Was the economic impacts of the pandemic avoidable or should the be all the fault of Trump? Interesting paper from 13 years ago, would indicate 'no'. In fairness, leading up to it, I cannot credit all the success to the President.

    https://www.stlouisfed.org/~/media/...ment/research-reports/pandemic_flu_report.pdf

    Should the civil unrest weigh on the shoulders of the president, based on actions of LEO's? Should local PD, city, county, state also share some blame? Aren't these folks also leaders?

    It really is a shame there isn’t anyone at the table Of potential future POTUS with the morals or couth to capture both sides of the aisle. I think I’m more scared of the 2024 election if Trump wins in 2020 than Trump losing the 2020 election. If he could just bring that ego down a half a notch I think would go a long way.

    So I miss quoted the dates.
    The point still stands however. Trump was out spoken that weak leadership in Washington, read obama, contributed to or escalated the riots in 14.
    Now a similar situation happens, and the leadership is still impotent and according to Trump its everyone else fault this time.
