There's a difference between daily briefings just for face time and daily briefings that give the public truthful information.

I think most Democrats are clownshoes. It's a party of of TenLenny's and Crymasters. No thanks.

Granted, there are 3 or 4 I admire compared to the sum total of zero in the Republican party.

Democrats are weak-willed corporate stooges and Republicans are ghoulish bootlickers at the mercy of a retarded game show host.

All of these things can be true.

9/11 happened that one day and it was done and was confined to only three crash sites as opposed to every corner of the planet. Recovery isn't the same as an ongoing event that continues to escalate and probably won't hit it's peak for a while yet. 9/11 had a tangible attacker, not some invisible angel of death floating around ready to potentially kill anybody.

The fact that Trump is ill-equipped to do his job doesn't mean he's off the hook on attempting to do it. Any president would be required to give daily briefings in this kind of catastrophe. Yes, he's a dogfucker but simply HAVING the briefings is not really a legit item to criticize.

A huge number of Americans actually put this guy in charge of the country. They did it knowing full well he wasn't a good person from the get-go and now we're seeing how this that came back around to haunt us all.

All of this, especially here. Most of the posters on this board who are openly anti-Trump have said numerous times that the Democrats are also a shit show, just less-so. The ones who've professed allegiance to specific Democrats (or Mueller) are usually the dumber posters on the board, like Lenny. Stupid people want to be led. There are no bigger examples of this than Trumptards. And Lenny.

If a Trumptard loves Trump and the Republic Party, then they jump to the conclusion that anyone who hates Trump loves the Democrat party. Cause they're stupid. And smell bad.

I was talking to a friend today, and you know that chick Domino in Deadpool, whose superpower is that she's lucky?

Trump is her in real life. it's insane.

• Never went bankrupt in a way he couldn't come back from
• Was an "outsider" for the Republican nomination, but once he won they all fell in line 100%
• Never could have won against a Democrat everyone didnt hate like Hildog
• It's insane he even squeaked that one out.
• Picked racism as his platform at a time that you just could not have predicted it would have worked.
• Any polition who tries to mimic him doesnt win, only Trump can be Trump
• Ducked impeachment
• Is only getting more popular for his bungled Coronivirus "hoax" response.
• Will probably benefit at election time if certain people cant vote due to the virus.

Theres prolly fifty more bullet points. He's fucking Domino!

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Says Medical Vendors Told Not To ‘Send Stuff’ To Michigan
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-gr ... 492267b21b

President Donald Trump’s latest target, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, told a radio station Friday that medical supply vendors informed her they’ve been told “not to send stuff” to her state amid the battle against COVID-19.

Whitmer, a Democrat, didn’t say if the orders were coming from the White House or if vendors may have been intimidated by Trump’s feud with the governor. But she did appear to link the problem to the president because she told WWJ-AM in Detroit that she tried Thursday night to call the White House to discuss the issue.

She couldn’t get through to Trump, who was at the time trashing Whitmer — whom he referred to as “that young ... woman governor from Michigan” — to Sean Hannity on Fox News. “We don’t like to see the complaints,” Trump said in a phone interview.

New study identifies a psychological factor linked to Trump supporters’ vindictiveness
https://www.psypost.org/2020/03/new-stu ... ness-56280

The desire to matter and feel significant among Donald Trump supporters is associated with support for hostile and vindictive actions against the president’s political rivals, according to new research published in the journal Political Psychology. In a series of studies conducted immediately before and after the 2016 election in the United States, the researchers examined how the quest for personal significance was related to confrontational intergroup behaviors.

“Our team studies what motivates people to support and engage in radical political actions. In the past we focused on actions — both peaceful and violent — that were aimed against the political system such as protesting, donating money for a cause, or using politically motivated violence,” explained study author Katarzyna Jaśko, an associate professor at Jagiellonian University in Poland.

“In this study we wanted to look at both sides and to explore the motivations of not only those who protest against the government but also those who support it. Our thinking was that just like some citizens contest the system and engage in aggressive actions directed against it, the government can use its power in benevolent or hostile ways and it’s important to understand whether its supporters accept it, and if so why?”

The researchers surveyed 189 supporters of Donald Trump and 305 supporters of Hillary Clinton the week preceding Election Day about how different outcomes of the election would make them feel. The participants also indicated their willingness to engage in actions against the future president and their support for hypothetical actions performed by the president against his or her political opponents.

“We asked whether they would support their elected president if, for example, he or she sued the media that criticized them, used the military to stop anti-government demonstrations, investigated political opponents’ email accounts or, in contrast, he or she demonstrated respect for their political opponents and included them in a political process,” Jaśko explained.

The researchers then repeated the study with another 217 Trump voters and 261 Clinton voters a week after the 2016 election.

“We were interested whether psychological factors such as gain of personal significance (i.e., feeling proud, strong, and important) derived from the victory of one’s political candidate or loss of personal significance (i.e., feeling humiliated, excluded, and ashamed) experienced after the defeat could predict those peaceful or aggressive reactions,” Jaśko said.

Trump supporters were more likely to approve of him taking hostile actions against his political opponents than Clinton supporters were to approve hers. The more Trump supporters thought his election would result in a gain of personal significance, the more supportive they were of his hostile actions.

The researchers also analyzed data from the Pew Research Center’s November 2016 Post-Election Survey, which included 533 Trump voters. They found that voters who indicated that the election of Trump made them feel proud were more likely to believe that he should not work with Democratic leaders to accomplish things and should stand up to Democrats even if it means less gets done in Washington.

“It means that among those who were particularly invested in supporting Donald Trump and whose individual sense of personal significance was mostly affected by the victory, his hostile actions were accepted the most,” Jaśko told PsyPost.

“In contrast, among voters of Hillary Clinton (when they were asked about it a week before the elections), expected gain of personal significance (should she be victorious) was weakly but significantly related to support for her benevolent but not hostile actions toward her opponents. Thus, Trump supporters seemed to be more vindictive in their expected (and actual) victory, whereas that was not the case for Clinton’s supporters.”

“Among the losers of elections, we found that loss of personal significance was related to greater motivation to engage in peaceful, but not violent, actions toward the government. This was true for both groups and we did not find any differences between supporters of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. This result could suggest that support for aggressive and hostile actions depends on whether those actions are perpetrated against the political system (in which case support for such actions is low in both groups) or whether they are endorsed by elected authorities,” Jaśko explained.

All research includes some limitations, and the current study is no exception. One thing the study was unable to assess was why there was a difference between Trump and Clinton supporters.

“We don’t know what psychological factors account for the differences we obtained between supporters of Trump and Clinton in their support for hostile actions of their elected candidate. None of the variables that we included in our study such as political ideology, socioeconomic status, or education explained those differences,” Jaśko said.

Future research could also examine “how the dynamic between feelings of personal significance gained from supporting one’s leader and support for hostile versus peaceful actions unfolds over time,” she noted.

The study, “Making Americans Feel Great Again? Personal Significance Predicts Political Intentions of Losers and Winners of the 2016 U.S. Election“, was authored by Katarzyna Jasko, Joanna Grzymala‐Moszczynska, Marta Maj, Marta Szastok, and Arie W. Kruglanski.

Trump’s Coronavirus Response Will Be His Toxic Legacy
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... cy-970990/

"There is no moment Trump can ever rise to, he only sinks to his most base nature. The record of his mishandling and deceptions about the COVID-19 virus are clear as day and exactly like how he handles everything else — only this time the scale is so monumental and the threat so critical that it can’t be swept away by the news cycle. For more than three years we have seen him blunder and rage from one drama to the next, some serious and deadly, like abandoning the Kurds in Syria, some foolish, like the size of the crowd at his inauguration. Through it all, Trump consistently displays a smallness of character, a signature brand of toxic narcissism and a nasty mean streak; his only gifts being an instinctual understanding of his supporters and a mediocre talent to work a crowd like some cheap borscht-belt comedian. That will not be enough in the face of a pandemic.

Trump knows this is how he will be judged. That’s why he’s growing so unhinged in public. He’s going to his familiar playbook and trying all his tricks. But a virus is not something he can insult or lie his way out of. People are dying. Our economy, seemingly so strong, cratered in a mere 10 days. The virus is not Trump’s fault of course, but the dismantling of the pandemic response team at the National Security Council surely is. Ignoring the threat for months also rests on his shoulders. The nation is now on the brink, and how he handles the crisis is his test. It should be clear to all, he’s failing miserably."

I realize that and I can't figure out if you're saying that being capricious and deceptive is a good leadership trait. The end result regardless of the travel ban is that people got the influence directly from Trump not to take it seriously and not to take necessary early steps to mitigate the spread. Believe it or not his followers are STILL refusing to take it seriously despite Trump's eventual backpedal and despite the escalation of cases and deaths.

Not only that, he ludicrously claimed it was a "democrat hoax" which is like attributing something to black people at a klan rally. Subtext: If you're a good Trump republican, go out and coat yourselves in saliva to show those dirty lie-bruls what we think of their fake virus.

From whom did he take a lot of flack? I keep hearing this from Trumptards and Right-leaning media, but there’s little, if any, evidence for it. I’d be curious to know where you heard about/witnessed this backlash.

Edit: As far as I can find, Trump SAID he took flack, which is what he does. That’s pretty much the extent of it. There are some Trumptard sites claiming Biden said some shady shit about it, but all the clips they provide show is him saying it’s no time for Trump’s récord of racism, and nothing mentioning the travel ban, at all.
If my admittedly limited searching is true, you’re getting your info from Trump himself and the people who take their info from him. As much as you claim not to like the guy, you’re extremely consistent in your defense of the guy.

"Because the 'Ratings' of my News Conferences etc. are so high, 'Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers' according to the @nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY," Trump tweeted. "'Trump is reaching too many people, we must stop him.' said one lunatic. See you at 5:00 P.M.!"
