The nation's top immunologist Anthony Fauci said Sunday morning that more lives could have been saved if Donald Trump lock downed the nation sooner
'There was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then,' Fauci said
Trump put out guidelines for social distancing and put the country on lockdown in mid-March
There are reports that Trump, however, knew about the threat of coronavirus long before he shut down the country

(12,712 posts)Whatever Donald wants, Donald gets. Screw your government/constitution/democracy thing.
Therefore, Donald, being, The Dictator Who Knew, (great title for a book about this someday) must be getting just what he wanted.
You see, I don't buy into any games he is playing now. I question them. I am not going to be another mark for the confidence man he is. Oh, it makes sense that he would want this over and a booming economy and he is rattled and struggling to make sure he gets re-elected. Oh, please. That's a script in his reality TV show and the invisible enemy gag is right in there with the rest.
No, he knows the script he and the GOP have written and unless you can see that this is a crafted media show where you only get to watch the characters on the stage, then you end up buying and believing just what they want you to, be ye on the left or the right. This is above and beyond the threshold of the ordinary and their game is afoot.
It doesn't take much reading, observation and research to see through it and be rather shocked in the process. A lot rests on knowing the actuality of this unprecedented power grab, however.

(3,634 posts)A lot of states have locked down on their own, but a handful haven't and they will soon be a problem for the rest of us. FatDonald doesn't even realize he can't open things up because he didn't have the foresight to be the one to close them down when it was necessary.
