Trump and Panic

[Mr Spinkles]

Trump claimed he didn't want to create a panic with Covid-19 but doesn't he generally use fear mongering to incite his base?


And even if he did worry about creating a panic, why would he not calmly try to implement safety measures to control the problem? like wearing a mask and social distancing?


Donald Trump says he didn't want to panic people ... then he tweeted this?

Implementing a well thought out plan is not his forte.

Viruses are tricky things for Trump. He’s much better when he’s against human opponents who can be lied, bullied, or suckered into submission.

 

[Mr Spinkles]

I think that when Trump talked to Bob Woodward about not creating panic what he was mainly thinking about was the stock market. He wasn’t thinking about regular people or the cost in human lives, he was thinking about the Dow freakin Jones. That is what Trump really cares about. Making more money for himself and people like him. His priority was not protecting people, it was protecting the market.

Totally agree. He likely meant “panic” like a stock panic.

He even downplayed the virus in one tweet and ended it by saying “Stock market looking very good to me!”

Then Eric Trump - the universe’s answer to what happens when an unstoppable mouth meets an immovable brain, and has a son - Tweeted about how the stock market was undervalued early on, when lives were starting to be turned upside down,

"The Democrats never even mentioned the words LAW & ORDER at their National Convention. That’s where they are coming from. If I don’t win, America’s Suburbs will be OVERRUN with Low Income Projects, Anarchists, Agitators, Looters and, of course, “Friendly Protesters”.

He's not wrong.

Why is Trump worried about America becoming overrun with those things? The flu kills way more people each year.

I still remember how, after eight years of Obama/Biden, the country no longer had law and order. Trump changed all that when he lead the valiant charge at the Battle of Lafayette Square. And may we never forget his daring pincer move against the migrant caravan, taking all the child soldiers prisoner. That was doubleplusgood of him!

you're watching to much fox news. Most news agencies fact check one another. Fox news mostly makes their own news. It's like the cable version of the national enquire.

Msnbc, abc, cbs, bbc, npr, CNN, yahoo and et al tend to hold each other accountable. Even the drama inside fox news is telling.

You've admitted that Fox doesn't go with the flow, but insist that the others all go along together, as though you don't know it's one story being paraphrased... whenever it isn't directly copied from the international news source = your modern day Ministry of Truth.

no i stated they fact check each others work. like scientists in science. they try to hold each other accountable and once they have confirmed the facts, yeah they are going to agree. thats just common sense

fox doesn't for the most part. fox is about sensationalism, conspiracy theories(reminiscent of the national equirer), not even bothering to cover damaging news to the right even though anyone with credibility knows its true.

they have a few credible news journalists. chris wallace is one such because he's old school.


so no, the other news agencies don't always go with the flow. in fact, as you have so graciously proven they touch at the heart of some issues and upset the power that want to be. the truth doesn't show favoritism, even if some polarized people believe it should.


fox viewers who watch only fox news are living in a bubble of fantasy. they want to promote conservatism, fear mongering, and all around discrimination.


again just look at all their inner turmoils. they are constantly having in house drama. that should tell their viewers that they are viewing people with some serious reality and ethical issues.


you can fox some of the people some of the time but you can't fox news people all of the time.

what is even more enlightening is the vast number of people who are upholding deceit, lies, and misinformation. the love of many has definitely grown cold.

President Trump is obviously a student of history.

Yep, on "The History of Donald J. Trump"-- written by Donald J. Trump.

They already DID close churches... under the guise of plandemic.

So, it's a "plandemic", you say? Wow, it must be amazing in your own mind just how the Dems musta snuck into China and got these bats to mutate a virus and then have them send it over to the States and elsewhere. Oh, those Dems are sneaky buggers, right?

And it isn't exactly hidden, either, that the Democrats are trying to tear the guns from the hands of victims of their "mostly peaceful protestors".

Are you aware that lying is really not an observant Christian trait? Are you even slightly aware that most protests actually have been peaceful, or is lying about that as well just what you like to do?

Tangentially: you seem to be a fan of George Orwell. So am I.

You know he was a democratic socialist, right?

Orwell wrote about what was wrong with Marxism in practice. All animals are created equal.[French Revolution] Some animals are more equal than others.[Bolshevism] The process starts in Animal Farm, and grows up in 1984. Both Orwell and Solzhenitsyn are writing about the same people, and the same end results. I don't know what Orwell the man was, but Solzhenitsyn the man was persecuted right out of his homeland. And even today. The Red Wheel tells the whole picture. The 3rd node is newly translated and seems to be talking about what's happening in the Bolshevik Revolution playing out on America's East Coast. There is nothing new under the sun. The same plan that happened to Europe is happening to America.

The racist anti-Germans will never see it at all.

Ok. But you know George Orwell was a democratic socialist, right?

 

[Twilight Hue]

He's primarily panicking Democrats.
Now they worry he'll refuse to leave office when he loses,
declare himself dictator, & require the military do dislodge him.

Ironic considering all the time the right is accused of the same thing.

 

[Revoltingest]

Ironic considering all the time the right is accused of the same thing.

The right (those I know) were really angry at Obama.
It seems that the sides take turns.
I'd just prefer less anger.

“Take turns”? That’s a bit of a false equivalence.

Donald Trump championed right wing anger at Obama. So the right elevated him to President, where he continues being angry at Obama.

 

[Revoltingest]

“Take turns”? That’s a bit of a false equivalence.

You guys always go there because you believe you're better.
You're not.
Btw, I never stated equivalency.
You should learn what that fallacy means.

I believe Obama is better that Trump? Yes I do. Guilty as charged.

Ah, another thing you “never stated”. You also never said Trump “isn’t” a racist. I applaud this - it is progress.

Judy Mikovits is a quack who hasn't published any science literature since at least 2012. And the publications she managed to get before that ended up having to be retracted. Her work has been widely discredited.

Anthony Fauci is an accomplished immunologist who has worked under several different presidents of all different political stripes, and is actually respected in science circles for his work. He's been the director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984.

You should have researched this silly "documentary" better.

He didn't believe in the mask
and probably still doesn't

I don't either

but hey......give the people something to do about it
I wear the mask
and I do it BETTER than people around me

I think it sucks
I think it's a placebo

but we have little else.....DON'T WE....????

so for now...the game is on
and we can't identify each other

hehehee

 

[Thief]
