Can you imagine Hillary, Biden or Bernie handling this pandemic? 🤪
Visions of Kathleen Blanco crying on camera come to mind.
Killary would have blamed it on a non-existent video and when called out about it, would have said, "What difference does that make now?" Biden would have slept through it. Bernie...Bernie...depending on how long he had been POTUS the country would have already been destroyed.
On a POTUS thrust into a crisis...
think about Harry Truman. He had just been elected as VP and sworn in with FDR in January, 1945, WWII raging. In early April, FDR passed away, and now just 3 months in office, Truman is thrust into the most powerful position in the world. By the end of April, Mussolini is caught and executed in Italy. Barely a week later, Hitler commits suicide. The war ends in Europe. Now Truman turns his attention to Japan and finishing that war. But, Stalin immediately invades Manchuria and starts mobilizing troops to invade mainland Japan. Truman, and the rest of the west, knows we cannot allow the Soviets a foothold in China and Japan, and who knows what other territories beyond that.
Truman has ONE ally he can count on to win the war in the Pacific and keep the Soviets at bay...Great Britain led by Winston Churchill. They have a conference "call" and pledge to work together to keep the Soviets out of Japan. The Brits have a presence in southeast Asia, southern Manchuria, parts of China, India...a military that had been hard pressed by the Japs, but at least they have some bases to operate from. Churchill tells Truman he will rally as much as he can and begin moving his navy, and troops, into the Pacific. Then on July 26, 1945 in a shocking result, Churchill loses his reelection bid to remain as prime minister. The British populace sends a clear message, NO MORE WAR! Truman is stranded....alone.
Here is an example in history when this nation, indeed the world, looks squarely at the holder of the White House and asks, "Okay, Mr. President, what do we do now?"
His advisors tell Truman an invasion of Japan, done soon, to keep the Soviets out will cost literally hundreds of thousands of US lives, maybe as high as a million. Not to mention the millions of Japs, mostly civilians, who will die. And it will take time, depending on the resolve of the Jap emperor to keep fighting. We might suffer huge losses and still not keep the Soviets out. You all know what Truman decided to do...not an easy decision. One that still evokes arguments and criticism of Truman and of the US.
I suppose this is a strange thread to post this, except the mention of what the Three Stooges might have done to eff things up. Even with the luxury of hindsight pivotal decisions made in history by our elected leaders remain controversial and are the subject of disagreement. Arm-chair quarterbacking can be so easy when it's not you put on the spot: "Okay, Mr. President, what do we do now?"
We could only wish. Fewer people would have died.
Right, by NOT placing travel restrictions at all.
Apparently all of Trump’s medical experts were telling him to do that. Azar said the restrictions were “the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.” None of Biden, Bernie, Schumer, Pelosi or Hillary criticized the decision.
The thing is that any of those people would have thought the job was over once they put in place the ban wasting all those weeks that were bought by doing the ban.
I know, like the great job obummer/biden did during the Swine flu epidemic, only 61 million Americans got infected, only 12,500 died, and that with a, by comparison, VERY sluggish virus, a less-deadly virus. C-19 is hundreds of times more contagious, and 70 times more deadly!!! This is like a thoroughbred, Secretariat vs. a crippled plow horse, yet Trump has us on the cusp of whipping this thing in, hopefully, mere months. The Swine Flu droned on for a solid year, infecting 20% of the population!!! A slow plow horse, on a bad leg, kicked obummer/biden's ass!!!!
You're tiring Goosey. You are obviously not very smart and you full of pure hatred. You are a bad person. Of course, you are lost...
What would Trump have done different about swine flu?
Remember, Republicans were criticizing Obama at the time saying that he was over exaggerating the risk posed by H1N1. Funny how tired this part of the Republican playbook has become - questioning science on the basis of politics.
Here is a blast to the past for some of you with older brains:
Former Congressman Dick Armey said the following in an interview with the Financial Times. “In September or October, there will be a hyped-up outbreak of the swine flu,” alleged Armey, “which they’ll say is as bad as the bubonic plague to scare the bed-wetters to vote for health-care reform.”
obummer did nothing! He did not "over exaggerate" the risk of the Swine flu. Nearly 2,000 Americans were already DEAD!!! before obummer was convinced to do anything.
And none of those who you worship would have done nearly as much as Trump has done to curtail this epidemic. If we are to believe the exponential growth of the spread of C-19, then the tens of thousands of at-risk travelers Trump stopped from entering has already paid dividends. At first I saw a number of "10,000" of Chinese travelers. Turns out that number was low. Now I see numbers as high as "300,000" would have entered who would have crossed paths with someone, or a region, that would have put them at risk of being infected and bringing it here. I can't grasp such a number, 300K seems way too high to me. But...
then I see from the Immigration Office's numbers the US averages 2.5 million travelers from around the world monthly. Almost 700K of those from Asia, monthly, and about 50K of those directly from China, monthly! So, yeah, since the travel ban went into effect, 300K is a reasonable number.
No way, no way!!! would any Dem have implemented the travel ban, especially not as soon as January. Millions of Americans would already be infected with C-19 and our healthcare system overwhelmed and many tens of thousands of Americans already dead with many more to follow.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAVED AMERICA!!!!!!!! This is a fact, and voters will remember who had the wisdom and courage to step up and save us all!
The facts are as follows: On April 21, 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the first U.S. cases of H1N1. One week later, the Food and Drug Administration approved a diagnostic test. The same day, CDC issued guidance for whether to close schools, resulting in some closures. The actual diagnostic test was shipped on May 1, 2009. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization declared the novel H1N1 to be A pandemic.
Meanwhile emperor obummer fiddled while Rome burned down....

April 26
The United States Government declared 2009 H1N1 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and CDC began releasing 25% of antiviral drugs needed to treat this new influenza virus from the federal stockpile.
Within 5 days of the first US case, look how far we had gotten. Trump was still twiddling his thumbs weeks after the first US case.
Obama/Biden/Hillary fiddled while ISIS killed 500,000+ of innocent men, women and children. And they killed American's fighting men as well. Obama/Biden/Hillary called it "leading from behind". It was a total lack of any leadership. Then of course there were the 100,000's of Americans killed by ObamaCare (I know of 4) and millions of babies killed by abortion while Obama/Biden/Hillary fiddled.
In the case of murdering babies, libs don't just fiddle, they dance a happy dance too! Remember that, who was it, the Dem governor of Pennsylvania? His disgusting dance step and unwanted touching of his administrative assistant when the SC ruled in favor of murdering babies. They are pure evil.
