I'm only repeating this question because none of you apologists has even tried to answer it.
I'm gonna keep reminding you of the backflips you are doing for Trump for no reason other than your own egos.
I won’t mince words on what Trump’s actions have been and are. Every calculation, every action is aim to protect himself from responsibility and accountability and to improve his chances of re-election. Every thought begins and ends with what’s in it for me. There is nothing else to the man, his entire life he has been as a corrupt opportunist and self promoter. The people who follow him are the rich to gain wealth and power and the cult of bigots and idiots.

I'm not doing backflips. Trump ed up. He thought we were gonna slide by pretty much unscathed like we did with SARS. It didnt happen.
The countries that got hit hardest by SARS were the most prepared this time.
Are you aware how herd immunity works though? Herd immunity requires at least 50%+ of the population to have become infected and recovered in order to get to some level of normalcy.
Which implicitly means we need massive testing in place. We're still far from being aware what percentage of our population has been or is infected.
Even "herd immunity" requires a plan, and lots of testing, if that's your strategy. Reopening and wishing things away is not a plan.
From hearing Fauci soft pedal it, it looks like the plan is to let people die the way they are now until the fall when testing might be adequate.
His approval rating would be sky high
Just unfortunate that Jared's father in law didn't think of this... but them dem breaks...
, if he had just given a quarter of a mea culpa and gotten on with saving lives without all the grievances he'd be as popular as Cuomo.
Of course. If you think a person who has his wealth and background who can win that position through negative campaigning and promising things to niche audiences might be ethical or moral, you're naive. Bernie purports to be concerned about the nation, but he's never going to be the nominee. Instead, Biden who's just another corporate shill is going to be your other choice.
This has been the case for a long long time. Americans then have to look at themselves as ask what's important to them. Who puts these people there? Trump didn't sneak in.
Who has lost 20K lives so far. So popularity is about a mea culpa.
If you give Trump a pass on all past mistakes are you continuing to give him the mistakes he continues to make like calling states to liberate after making opening up the states the governors’ responsibility or throwing all the responsibility for testing on the governors? Some western countries have made mistake, hardly any to the degree at the central government level as Trump. Most have gotten their act together, not Trump, he has no act except appointing unqualified people, firing those who point out his errors and deferring blame. That is part of the coronavirus discussion.
Does Trump not getting any blame for those lives lost or just Cuomo
In part. It's what's important to Trump after all. Not leadership or responsibility.
Trump gets a pass from DMC. Every time.
Cuomo has admitted making mistakes, that actions could have been taken earlier. Has Trump Said he made any mistakes or was everything 10 out of 10 for him? Cuomo also said he has to deal as best as he can with where they are now. What has Trump said he has to do?

I dont give Trump a pass on anything. He is an embarrassment. At the same time, blaming all the deaths on him is just stupid. We were unprepared now and we were unprepared before Trump was elected. We allowed ourselves to get in the trap of necessary protective gear and drugs being manufactured in China who hogged the supplies when the rest of the world needed them. Blaming Trump is just as stupid as blaming Pelosi because neither one could the gear we needed. This will turn out to be like our reaction to 9/11. In a year we will be overreacting on the side of covid safety shutting that barn door after the covid horse got out.
de Blasio deserves the most
He certainly deserves blame.
Does Trump deserve any?
Yes or no.
You guys still don't want to give Trump any blame. It's insane
Obviously not for Cuomo's supporters either.
Their egos depend on Trump's being a more-or-less perfect president. Anything less and their egos are destroyed.
It's OK to admit Trump ed up. Play time is over.
We'll have hundreds of millions of deteriorating masks until such time as the funding gets removed to study the effects of cow farts.
On the brighter side, the Earth is likely breathing off the ventilator right now.
Cuomo has assumed both. Moreso than Trump, who explicitly said he's not responsible for anything. Is that your idea of leadership, DMC?
