Ok Hamilton.

I just read the article again and it is completely consistent with what I have been telling you guys from day 1.
Let’s review:
Trump appointed a failure to lead HHS over the objection of democrats.
Trump’s decision to restrict travel to China wasn’t a maverick move against the advice of his advisors.
Trump failed to manage Azar and failed to ask the follow-up questions any good CEO would ask when managing a crisis.
Azar, like all other loyalty hounds, will say what he needs to say not to piss off and draw the retribution of a boss that can’t handle criticism.
What did I miss?
Oh yeah. Forgot one other fact from the article. The US is STILL failing on testing months later. As if the guys in charge can’t learn from their previous mistakes.
Epic failure of leadership.
Here is the full quote from Pelosi on January 31:
“The Trump Administration's expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy,"
There can be NO DOUBT that her comments were regarding the expansion of the Muslim travel ban that the administration issued the same day as the China travel restrictions. Pelosi has never criticized the China travel restrictions.
Not only did the Chicoms create this virus and unleash it on the world, lie about it, reject offers to help, and deny independent findings about it, but they hoarded all the tools (PPEs, etc.) the world needed early on to deal with it. And now they are selling fake testing kits..."counterfeit" is the actual term used by those nations who bought them. Some of those fake testing kits ended up in the US. As if it wasn't bad enough there were inaccurate test kits early on, returning overwhelming false positives, but for the Chicoms to sell fake kits they know don't work is criminal.
As I always do, I look for a silver lining in all things. In this case I hope the world, including this country, take this as a wake up call and treat China the way it is: a criminal rogue nation.
LOL.
I may be Mr. Magoo but my vision is still a lot better than yours Hamilton.
Your problem is your biases significantly impact your interpretation of the facts.
You see obstruction where there isn't any.
You see quid pro quo where there isn't any.
You say Trump hasn't followed the advice of the Covid-19 experts when he has, much to his detriment I might add.
You have always held Trump to a higher standard than any President or CEO in history. That's a very naive point of view.
I acknowledge and understand Trump's faults but also realize he is by far the lesser of two evils. I could never support a democratic party that is out to fundamentally transform America to a completely socialist, globalist country, and that is willing to destroy this country and anyone in it to get what they want. I might add that unfortunately there are a lot of republicans that fall into that same boat with the Democrats.
I didn’t say he hasn’t followed his advisors. I said “when he doesn’t.” Go back and read the post, this time with your glasses. When he doesn’t follow them, he seems to have terrible ideas - like treatment with UV and disinfectant.
I hold Trump to the same standard as Obama who I was very critical of. Trump could never be a CEO of anything other than a closely-held corporation where he was a majority shareholder. You are clueless if you think otherwise. He is bankrupted 6 of his businesses and completely shuttered at least a dozen others. His lack of accountability, lack of attention to detail, unethical conduct, dishonesty and poor judgment disqualifies him for being a CEO of a publicly traded company.
There was obstruction (and abuse of power). You should also read the Mueller report. It was quite an indictment of how anti-American Trump really is. It says their is ample evidence that shows (1) he wanted Russia to interfere, (2) he sought their help publicly and through Don Jr, to get them to interfere, (3) that Russia did in fact interfere for the purpose of helping him. The only element that Mueller couldn’t prove was that Russia and Trump had “an agreement.”
The Mueller report did outline a case for obstruction of justice but said that he did not have the authority to bring it. He pointed out that Congress had the power. They punted. The report is damning. Put on your glasses and read it.
