Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

"For those who understand that imperfect data is not the same thing as useless data, today continues a very positive trend for the US."

The crisis has yet to peak and we are told by the health experts will get worse - much worse - before it gets better.

Your infatuation with your figures and your illusory "water-divining" capacities blind you to what is happening in front of your face and what is obvious to so many others. Not only are your posts virtually unreadable, they essentially propagate insights you don't have - you have no epidemiological knowledge or qualifications and this crisis absolutely calls for such knowledge - and your predictions actively mislead. You could be working in the White House.

Maybe P is Stephanie P Grisham, the Press Secretary? Just kidding, her real middle name is Witch, I believe.

“I’ll get you and your little Press, too! Ha-hahahaha!”

There's no way around it.

We're looking at massive unemployment numbers.

And this will bleed into the election.

From here on until then, it's about how Trump handles this and his messaging.

And of course how much voters think of how he handles this.

Most people are locked in either way.

A number of people don't like Trump personally but were happy with the stock market and employment numbers. Will they vacillate on their support with all of that crashing down?

I’ll add my personal experience to this reporting as well. I’ve been told by people very high up at hospitals in two states that for the most part, since there is a premium on test kits, they are testing all high risk people at test centers. If you are lower risk without needing hospitalization, you may be told to quarantine without being counted as positive. They just can’t test everyone due to scarcity of kits and there is a limit on how many can be tested in a day. There just aren’t enough staff to conduct an infinite amount of tests since they are needed to treat patients. This may be why there appears to be a flattening or slowdown of positives in NY (not one of the states I have contacts). They have reached the upper limit of testing capabilities.

it will be interesting...whether this sort of thing will change anyone's mind or not.

Dems are completely terrible at politics tho...that will help trumpists. Rs made a totally fake crisis - benghazi - into a real winner for them.

Dems can't even make this - a real scandal and crisis - into a winner for them. They are completely clueless on how to win elections.

Rs would be shouting from the rooftops all the trump failures on covid. Ds won't do it.

Part of it is shame...Rs have absolutely no shame whereas Ds want to do the right thing.

Will Americans appreciate that?

I won't comment on how useful or useless the poster analysis is here because as I have maintained from the beginning there hasn't been and still isn't enough information available (doesn't mean someone's guess isn't correct though) but I'll say this, I find it entertaining that P and agip seem to have flipped positions here.

For weeks agip was positive guy and P had end of the world predictions, now both of their narratives have flipped.

I could be wrong, and am often, but it seems to me that eventually we all have to be exposed to this so beyond the positive aspect of flattening the curve in the short term, at some point, we all are going to have to get back to normal life and ultimately be exposed to this virus.

GA governor. Smh. Too much Fox News, I guess.

You may want to go back and look at the results of the 2018 elections and really most elections since Trump came into office.

You could also look at 2008.

365 electoral votes (28 states), House majority and 60 senate seats.

People turned to the Democrats during that financial collapse.

An all of these rescue and stimulus acts going on right now are not conservative politics.

Very liberal actions happening to save to people.

Then look at healthcare. The millions of additional uninsured since Trump took over.

The current situation exploits every weakness of Trump and the Republican party.

“I’m following the data,” the governor said. “Finding out that this virus is now transmitting before people see signs ... what we’ve been telling people from directives from the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] for weeks now that if you start feeling bad, stay home ― [but] those individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn’t know that until the last 24 hours.”

These kind of people are in charge?

2018 is keeping sane, yes.

2008 was a long time ago and the war was the key factor, not the financial crisis.

Plus the natural pendulum in the WH between D and R. Which is massively underrated as a key to understanding WH elections.

But I've been watching Ds fumble negative advertising for a long time...they just don't got it. In that department. They think it is dishonorable or something. Which it is, but it has to be done, esp when dealing with total lying scumbags like those who run R campaigns.

6.6 million additional unemployed last week.

Wow, almost 8 times the record before last week?

Just last week 6.6M jobs lost entirely erases the 6M jobs created under Trump's term. With 10M jobs lost in the last two weeks, Trump has managed to lose 4M more American jobs than he started with.

I just can’t see how looping clips of Trump talking about the hoax and how it is just one guy from China won’t flip a lot of people to Biden.

I can see how commercials like that will be very effective in the Fall when everyone will have been affected negatively by COV.

The below is why everyone should wear a mask. Don't get infected from infected air. Don't infect people with your infected air. Aerosols land and stick across wide areas ... wear gloves.

Not liberal. Evil socialism ... one of Trump's voodoo dolls.

We are still a long ways from the election.

A month ago we weren't even talking about what has now changed the whole world.

It was going to be a referendum about the impeachment vote.

And before that it was the Mueller investigation.

And before that it was the women's march the day after his inauguration.

But the entire time, Trump's defenders were all about looking at the economy.

Until now.

Trump has been trying to act presidential.

But he's going to lose it and really snap out at people.

I like how arguing over this has basically become a meme.

I thought the meme was healthcare workers dying because they don’t have PPE (while everyone else argues about it).

Gallows humor:

One concentration-camp guard to another, standing outside the gas chamber: “I don’t know why people don’t use these masks!”
