Trump Continues His Implosion....

and the market is in the Red.

Was That Spicer Asking The Question?...

wow - how obvious - it was a set-up question - so he could say Feinstein.

Again As Trump Talks The Market Goes Down....

stop talking Trump.

And Here It Comes - The Commercial For Trump.....

wait till Pence gets up there and starts kissing Trump's butt.

The Governors Are Doing All The Footwork....

creating the policies that their States will function under; procuring supplies; doing essentially everything that Trump should have been doing if he was a competent leader.

And now - Trump is up there at the podium - instituting all those policies that the Govs already instituted in their States and demanded that Trump do on a Federal level that he's been reluctant to do and incompetent to carry out.

Trump is talking like all these ideas came from him and his administration. He's tagging on to the coattails of the Govs - and is trying to take credit for them. This is what he's done from the beginning since he's been elected. Letting the talking heads criticize him and say ' this is what he should do' and then he does what they suggested. He can't think on his feet and do anything without such prodding.

It's all an act. That's why he's mugging the camera everyday. Now he's calling this a war. And I bet soon he's going to try and wear the label as a 'war time president' for the purpose of pushing his approval numbers up.

Wuhan, China Started Closing Down The City Around Jan 23rd.....

We watched on TV that they were building a large hospital in record time. We knew that this virus was serious and we knew then that at some time in the future we would have to deal with it here in the U.S..

It was at that time that the Federal Government should have gone into launching a major offensive to prepare for the onslaught of the virus in the U.S.. By watching what was going on in Wuhan - it should have anticipated the needs for personal protective equipment; masks; gloves; tests; ventilators; sanitizing solutions; etc.

We should have been ready. Instead now we are up against a wall trying to find supplies in order to deal with this virus.

This was unavoidable. We could have had almost a two month lead time to prepare.

This is where Trump's government failed us. This is unconscionable.

If Face Masks Were Readily Available And Not In Short Supply.....

would there be a recommendation that everyone wear a face mask?

There Are Medical Companies In The U.S. And The World That Manufacture Ventilators & Respirators....

Trump has paraded executives from many companies in front of us including Fast Food companies.

Why hasn't he had the executives from the Medical Companies that manufacture ventilators and respirators?

From what I know about medical companies in general - they have sales people out - selling their machines every day, Each sales person most like has at least on of these machines in his/her possession to take to a health care facility to demonstrate it.

Also - the company has product in its warehouses to ship should someone purchase and they should have a maintenance department that repairs and reconditions these machines as well.

Why haven't we heard from these companies? They might not be the complete answer to all our problems - but in a pinch - they might provide some help.

All I Got To Say Is When This Is All Over And....

the virus threat has passed and we have a new President and Congress - they better work hard to close all the loopholes and gaps that got us into this trouble we're in. Address all those things that the Trump Administration took advantage of to defy the Constitution and interpret it to their advantage. They will need to clarify things - so that we'll never be subject to a con criminal like Trump,

We also have to address our healthcare system and change it so that we're never caught so unprepared as we are today.

This next administration - after Trump (AT) will be very, very busy.
