The centersecuritypolicy does a thorough job of enumerating their fault. Some of us are pointing out that Trump isn’t blameless either, and the center for security article that Kafir linked makes that case also. Trump praised China’s work and transparency on 1/24/2020. He praised Xi’s strong leadership and claimed we’re working closely with China on 2/7/2020 and said he’s handling it really well. On 2/10/2020, Trump said he believed China was going to have it all under control. “But China I can tell you is working very hard.” On 2/13/2020, Trump was asked by Fox Business News if he thought China was being truthful. He responded, “Well, you never know. I think they want to put the best face on it. So you know, I mean, if somebody — if you were running it, you’d probably — you wouldn’t want to run out to the world and go crazy and start saying whatever it is because you don’t want to create a panic. But no, I think they’ve handled it professionally and I think they’re extremely capable and I think President Xi is extremely capable and I hope that it’s going to be resolved.” On 2/23/2020, a reporter asked if Trump thought Xi should be doing anything different. His response, “No, I think President Xi is working very, very hard. I spoke to him. He’s working very hard. I think he’s doing a very good job. It’s a big problem. But President Xi loves his country. He’s working very hard to solve the problem and he will solve the problem.” On 2/26/2020, Trump told reporters, “And if you can count on the reports coming out of China, that spread has gone down quite a bit. The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days. As opposed to getting larger, it’s actually gotten smaller. In one instance where we think we can be — it’s somewhat reliable, it seems to have gotten quite a bit smaller.” The center for security article goes on with similar anecdotes of Trump’s praise for Xi. You get the picture. But the article also details all that China was doing to keep WHO and the rest of the world from getting any information from them about the spread of the virus. Interestingly, on 3/10/2020, WHO declared a world pandemic while Trump was saying, ““No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” “The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. ” “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”<br />Are you sure you guys can trust the article that Kafir posted? The story links at least 12 Washington Post articles, 7 CNN articles, 3 NYT articles, 4 AP articles, 2 USA Today articles and 1 NPR story. That’s a whole lot of liberal media right there. <br />Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343163377040116742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-14374901507805352672020-04-19T15:47:54.403-04:002020-04-19T15:47:54.403-04:00Kafir, do you know what Jim Jones told his followe...Kafir, do you know what Jim Jones told his followers the day that so many were poisoned?

It showed that the USA was ranked #1 in its ability to handle a pandemic, and so it should still be #1 in actually handling it, and not instead being the country with the MOST cases in the world. If things were handled competently then the USA would have taken the best advantage of its #1 ranked ability...that logic should be simple enough for you. There are many factors that go into death rates. The US numbers are being compared to many countries who have already gone through the worst and flattened their bell curve, while the US is still in the midst of it. <br /><br />You haven't explained the parts left out of the CSP timeline, the ones I gave you proving Trump's lies and downplaying which cost so many lives. You would think in 130 pages they could have fit those in...unless they were biased and purposely cherry-picked. And now suddenly you love the fact it was 130 pages long...seems to be hypocritical that you aren't calling it "diarrhea of the mouth."<br /><br />Trump has been "front and center"? Yeah, now, after his earlier lies and mishandling cost so many lives, and after the sleazy old reality TV star realized he could get what he wants most in life - attention, and his beloved ratings he brags about in the midst of a health crisis.

Of course, but Trump has been front and center EVERY day on this one. He’s not showing us his refrigerator.<br /><br />You discredited the Center for Security Policy and Frank Gaffney which just exposes your left-wing bias. Their timeline is up to 130 pages long, but I’m sure you didn’t bother to read it. Facts aren’t relevant to simpleton socialists.<br /><br />It’s likely you’re a also a believer of the SPLC, ACLU, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, etc. so what’s the point of these back and forths?

WTF?! For those who believe the CCP and the WHO aren’t responsible are simply Kool-Aid drinking ideologues. <br /><br />There was also the study done by the GHS (Global Health Security Index) that rates the U.S. FIRST out of 195 countries to handle a pandemic with an 83.5 rating. Australia also does well but they’re 4th at 75.5. Fyi, China is 51st at 48.2.<br /><br />The crony capitalist, Anus King, was called out tonight when a reporter brought up that he said Trump’s actions were a “dereliction of duty”. Trump referred to him as a Democrat, not an Independent.....which is true. Jumped out of my seat on that one.

Since we have mutual friends, I introduced myself to Frank Gaffney that year while we were both attending the same workshop on Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the US Government under Presidents Bush and Obama. Khan's parents were founding members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) is a front group of the Brotherhood and was named an un-indicted co-conspirator in the FBI's case against the Holy Land Foundation in Dallas.<br /><br />The Holy Land Foundation was, and maybe still is for all I know, the largest Muslim "charity" in the USA. It was caught funneling money to Hamas, a Muslim terrorist organization, and the FBI caught them. Khan is affiliated with CAIR and he was cozying up to the American Conservative Union which runs CPAC. CAIR hoodwinked both the Bush and Obama Administrations into believing it to be a moderate group. Hoodwinked is probably not a good word for the Obama Administration's involvement with the MBA because Obama embraced them.<br /><br />Gaffney raised hell with the ACU and demanded they disinvite Suhail Khan from the convention, but they refused. Khan is not a member if the ACU and it's a shame they didn't listen to Gaffney. He was right, and he's a good man. The only fault I find with him is that he's sometimes too much of a hard ass. He runs the Center For Security Policy, a terrific organization.Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-40423464293655225442020-04-18T15:26:26.064-04:002020-04-18T15:26:26.064-04:00Too crazy for CPAC?
