As a nurse, I too did the "deep dive" to understand what was happening. President Trump was not equipped to handle a pandemic. He needs to acknowledge this and apologize.

My prayer is that there will BE an "afterwards", Porge!! The 'leaders' in our world are aligning for another WW --which will destroy a good portion of our lives and 'stuff' - they are MAD with their agenda!!!
Unfortunately, Trump NEVER apologizes - so don't hold your breath on that count, Nancy. He's too proud!! Sad to say this, but that is one of his huge faults. We all have them!!
He could remind everyone about his attempt to introduce HCQ and what happened with Lancetgate. There are many things he could do but you are right. I sure have a few faults of my own.
Sharon, no doubt Trump is too proud, but sometimes I wonder if this isn’t a political strategy? I mean seriously, how often does any politician apologize? It’s rare for them to admit they were wrong. It does occasionally happen but rarely.
Well as someone who runs in those circles. A lot. I do have to say that some level of ego is the only way you can survive in this game. Even in our local school board race, the level of vitriol, disruption and hours and hours of your time that go into any campaign is off the charts. I ran for city council in 2018 and it was close to a full time job for 2.5 months. Only did it as my 'ego' said I could do a better job than the swamp creature who beat me. Huge order of magnitude higher for a bigger race in time, attacks, and back-stabbing. Who can stand up during all of that? People with some level of ego to believe that all that sacrifice is worth it. Now I will say, many go into it for the right reasons and get corrupted along the way - absolutely. But I count as friends people who are 'politicians' and they ARE still honest, hardworking folks who are trying to make a difference. But they constantly butt heads against those who are there to feather their own nests, including some from their own party.
There is real discernment needed when you get elected to something because then everyone wants to be your 'friend' as they want something from you. Some see that for what it is, but some take all this attention as self-importance and let it all go to their heads.
Donna, I had a friend who was on the school board, and from being close to her during a hotly contested race, I can confirm exactly what you said. That experience made me realize that even local politics is a dirty game and those who step into it must be very self assured and tough skinned!
Sometimes I think local is even dirtier, as some of these nasty people go to our churches, live in our neighborhoods, and their kids go to school with your kids. One conservative school board member friend even pulled her child from the district and put her in private after her daughter was being harassed by the kids of people in the leftist PAC, and the teacher did nothing to stop it. She is up for re-election next year and is not running. Sad as she is a true warrior, veteran, and takes no BS from the administration when she wants answers. But she draws the line when they came after her family. She is DONE.
I would also like to hear Trump say SOMETHING about the whole thing. But that said, in the middle of a huge crisis I doubt that anyone would have been up to speed with it all. My brother was a California firefighter chief for over 25 years before he retired. He more than anyone knew how to take measures to protect his property, yet a big wildfire swept through and after a point he didn't know what to do and everything burned to the ground. Now he can analyze what he might have done different. Trump should do the same, and also reveal how he was misled and by whom. Surely he knows he was misled and lied to by now.
Agree, in a perfect world with OUR interpretation of what should happen BUT he may have SATAN himself hanging out around the Oval Office and he has to report to him every day. I know I’m being silly, but I’m trying to emphasize we don’t know, and never have the American people ever, ever ever ever known what exactly goes on in the White House or Washington with crooked politicians, and the deep state. And he may know if he says something about it he will immediately be Kennedy-ed, shot on sight
He cannot admit that now, because it would be so damaging to his presidential campaign. It’s gonna be close so close and probably some cheating that he can’t take that chance. And again I’m not a Trump lover, but I know this country needs him to win to fight off the globalist at least for another four years. If he is a real man, then, after he is secure with election, he needs to say that, and admission of all those variables being thrown to him at once, and he made a mistake, This will be accepted by rational thinkers and actually be the actions of a true leader. It doesn’t matter what he says, the people against him are going to fight him. Remember, he said, iver and chloro the two drugs to help. Keep people alive and got attacked by seemingly everyone. Even though it was just wacko liberals and the entire media.

I agree he should at the very least acknowledge that he was misled by the very person being questioned now for doing the misleading!
Agreed. There are a myriad of ways he could express regret without saying "I'm sorry." For example: "I put trust in people who failed me."
To Trump, saying something of that ilk would be a sign of "weakness"--will NEVER happen (it would be refreshing to be proven wrong though!)
He's tightroping an election right now and needs votes from both sides. Hopefully he'll say something afterwards.
My prayer is that there will BE an "afterwards", Porge!! The 'leaders' in our world are aligning for another WW --which will destroy a good portion of our lives and 'stuff' - they are MAD with their agenda!!!
Agreed!
Another WW will be GREAT for the "climate" they claim to care about so much.
He might get more votes if he'd come clean now.
Perhaps.

Anyone in politics has a HUGE ego and very little critical thinking skills or humility! PERIOD!!! I hold most of them in extreme contempt!

I appreciate your analysis, Donna, truly!!
Isn't that the problem? Politics over truth.
We've noticed.

I'm sure there was nothing he could do. Those fires were monstrous, out of control things. I know many people who lost everything in those fires.
CMCM - Yes. If Trump did that people would see him in a kinder light, with more respect.

Who the hell was?
