AT>  DC> We are, rightly, blaming him for failure to act in a useful,

AT> What's "useful" and "coordinated" mean? What's "failure to act" mean?

"We have it very much under control in this country."
Donald Trump, Feb 23, 2020

AT> If we lived in North Korea, I guess you'd have the leader you desire -
AT> because only in a country like that can the president tell everyone to
AT> stay inside their homes "or else I'll kill ya."

"Now, the virus that we're talking about having to
do - you know, a lot of people think that goes away
in April with the heat - as the heat comes in.
Typically, that will go away in April.  We're in
great shape.  We have 12 cases -- 11 cases, and
many of them are in good shape now."
Donald Trump, Feb. 14, 2020

AT> What would you have done different from Trump if you were president?

"No, I don't take any responsibility at all."
Donald Trump - Mar. 13, 2020  (Friday the 13th!)

AT> I swear, I just love the crap out of this president. I never liked him
AT> until he started his campaign for president. I don't care for the
AT> downstate accent, but it makes me feel good to see so many promises
AT> delivered from a president - something I have NEVER seen before in my
AT> lifetime. Presidents are only 1/3 of the puzzle, this guy has solved a
AT> handful of the issues that matter to me. More than I can say about any
AT> other president.

"So we're at the low level.  As they get better, we
take them off the list, so that we're going to be pretty
soon at only five people.  And we could be at just one or
two people over the next short period of time.  So we've
had very good luck."
Donald Trump - Feb 26, 2020

AT> You were in the military - for that I appreciate you and your political
AT> opinion, but you're being very general and vague about your grievances
AT> with Trump.

"No, I'm not concerned at all. No, we've done a great job
with it."
Donald Trump - Mar. 7, 2020

AT> You have a point there. But it's kinda hurtful when, for the first time
AT> ever, a president has done stuff for me personally, and other people
AT> don't appreciate it. Hating Trump won't get you anywhere - don't vote
AT> for him then. But you should be grateful that you've got a president who
AT> is devoting his life to the defense of the same country you put your
AT> life on the line for years prior.

"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu.
It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year.  Nothing
is shut down, life & the economy go on.  At this moment
there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22
deaths.  Thing about that!"
Donald Trump - Mar. 9, 2020

Now THAT's hurtful.
