Trump would be called a liar for trying to conceal it from the public.
How was FDR's messaging on the internment camps ?
Not just FDR. Literally all presidents lie. Most every, if not every, politician lies. It's just a reality of the industry. With this said, Trump's lying is not like most anything we've seen before. Certainly in my life time. Politicians have had bigger lies. but in terms of how blatant the lies are and how often they're shared, Trump is off the charts.
The "media hid FDR's paralysis"????
BS.

There was NO ONE who didn't know of FDR's physical issue.
The degree of pain he was in, probably not, but absolutely everyone knew he was in a wheel chair.
Show us contemporary media images of FDR in a wheelchair.

I know you TDS-afflicted are gonna hate to hear this, but Trump is finding his footing. He seems like he actually understands some virus specifics that most people don’t, which I’d normally not expect out of him. I know you yahoos will fillet him regardless but the voters are likely recognizing this.

Also, Dr Birx is a rockstar.

Most of today’s media are actually asking legitimate non-gotcha questions.
We needed Trump to find his footing two months ago.

What is unfolding now is one of the great tragedies in American history ... a tragedy brought about by Trump’s incompetence and malignant narcissism.

It is not possible to catch up to a pandemic like this. Tens of thousands of Americans, maybe over a hundred thousand, will go to their graves because Trump prized his political interests over the safety and welfare of the American people.

Trump’s malfeasance will long be remembered as one of the great criminal acts in American history.

Trump realized that the stations were cutting away, so he says less, let's others answer, and mixes in some Q&A along the way.

Birx seems to be the real deal...walks the fine line while making her point. 'Where all the masks you want...you can still get it....false sense of security'.

It’s amazing to see liberals here repost a map where the guy who put it up originally is absolutely getting slaughtered on Twitter, causing him to retract the original thesis. The real problem is finding liberals who are NOT filled with hate, rage, or snark against those they think are inferior to them.

UHHH, 3rd person, not sure liberals can wrap their brains around the idea that grocery stores and places of work in rural areas are often more than two miles away. Not everyone has access to a corner bodega.
UHHH, buddy, not sure you can wrap your brain around the idea that it's not a map of how far people travel. It's a map of overall travel of the same people one week vs. the week prior.

I'll try to put it in terms you can understand. If you normally travel 2 miles in a week going back and forth from your corner bodega and now you still travel 2 miles in a week, it's gonna be dark red. If you normally travel 100 miles in a week to the Family Dollar a county over and now travel 0, it's gonna be light gray.



You need a remedial course in map analysis. Stat.

(fully expected btw, you're a Dem, an autodidact seething with a class warfare virus)
Maybe it's not map reading, it's simple reading? ;)

Here's what the map itself says, right on it!

Where people were still traveling last week
Percent change in average travel for the week of March 23, compared with travel before the coronavirus outbreak.

Want more info?

Holmes explained this to you, probably assuming you might actually read the map legend before dismissing again.
All I see are pretty pastels. The only map reading i was ever proficient at was following a direction on a topographical map. Give me a compass and a heading in degrees and i will find my way there. If you want a brain challenge, try and look at a topographical map and relate it to what you are seeing. Elevation, rivers,streams maybe permanent impact areas that intersect your destination. I do remember all of the fire breaks in the boonies of Ft Bragg and the north/south and east /west grid patterns they were laid out in. Our maps did not have all the pretty colors. 8-)
cradle, sounds like you have some PTSD from that map experience, so lemme help you out.
Read what I bolded above from Holmes and then what I bolded and expanded, which is the map legend.

Always look at the map legend...

That's indeed true, he didn't want that image of him.
Took great pains to avoid it.
But it was nevertheless widely known.
The pain was not widely known.

3,000 provincial (Hubei) and a few federal bureaucrats lost their jobs over the initial delay in reporting. Not that their system doesn't 'encourage' holding back bad news, but they sent quite the message in the aftermath. Note that if you are fired from a government/Party job, you will have a very difficult time finding any other job...maybe sweeping streets.

Who is getting fired over the US foul up?
Well, let's fire the ship commander blowing the whistle...that's akin to firing the Chinese doc who blew the whistle (and subsequently died).
