Despite clear evidence to the contrary and an admission from his own Vice President, Trump has repeatedly claimed that the US has done an excellent job in testing people for the coronavirus. As early as January, the president said the situation was “totally under control”.
However, the numbers don’t lie as just over six weeks after he made this statement the United States has found itself the new global center of the pandemic with (as of the 31st of March) 164,435 cases of coronavirus and a terrifying 3,175 deaths.
The hard reality is that US healthcare providers faced a severe shortage of testing kits as coronavirus hit the country coupled with faults in the testing system and restrictions on who could actually take a test.
A wealth gap has also opened up with regards to the testing of citizens in these most troubling of times as the rich or famous were able to get tests while others, including those who are putting their own lives at risk to deal with the problem, struggled to do so.
As alluded to before, Trumps own VP, Mike Pence, admitted: “we don’t have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will be the demand”. Dr Fauci even told a congressional hearing the US system was “not really geared to what we need right now” regarding the test kits. He added: “That is a failing. Let’s admit it.”
It was completely predictable: the world is suffering from a pandemic at the time the USA has an idiot for president. When will we ever learn? The citizens of this country are no longer capable of choosing their own commander-in-chief.
Something of this nature was bound to happen. What do we have leading this nation in this time of crisis? A total idiot. The people of this nation do not appear to be capable of choosing our leader.
Donald Trump at the helm of this nation during a world-wide pandemic, still spreading his ignorance. God help us all.
I love this article! Kiddos to whoever wrote it. Finally, the facts along with Trumps actual statements are in print for everyone to read!
65% of Americans polled believe Trump is doing a great job. The vast majority of these individuals are Republicans.
Fox News is partly responsible for this. However, a great deal is due to the ignorance of Americans.
We are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world and take it for granted.
We have a responsibility to honor and protect our democracy.
We have allowed a snake oil salesman to turn the United States of America into a third world country through racial bigotry, economic inequality, and greed.
God will save His children and will not be mocked by a man who claims to know God.
So-called Evangelical Christians need to wake up and speak out against his presidency rather than behaving like Pharisees and Sadducees. God did not place him there!!!!
God’s plan for our lives will come to fruition if we believe in Him.
Please, pray for our country and our world.
Be blessed.
Churchill – “We will never surrender.”
Roosevelt – “We have nothing to fear but fear itsel”
Kennedy – “Ask what you can do for your country.”
trump – “I take no responsibility.”
AT same time the Congress left session and abandoned their constituents. They are too infested with racism and xenophobia that it’s truly hurting America. I wouldn’t lie to you. Most of them are motivationally deficient and differently logical and therefore not worth their salt. They did nothing for the prior h1n1 and swine flu pandemics and could not concieve any plan that is workable.
