I'm not blaming Trump for deaths. Deaths happen. That'd be as fair as blaming Trump for car accidents because they happen on American soil on government infrastructure. That's stupid. I'm criticizing his abhorrent leadership during one of the most stressful times our country has seen outside wartime in its history. Regardless of whether you blame China or bats or whoever, they aren't in charge of our country, Donald Trump is, and while I'm not looking to him and only him to rectify this situation, his constant finger pointing, bitching, refusal to take responsibility for anything, snarkiness in dealing with pleading governors, and general disregard for American life has me so disgusted with him as our leader.

It's like if you were a soldier in the war and your pinned down in a house with sniper and machine gun fire outside. You're surrounded. Your CO didn't PUT you in this mess. He didn't START the war. Yet, here you are in the house getting rained on by bullets, and you're looking to your CO for direction and the motherf*cker is just sitting there pouting complaining about how so and so screwed him and how unfair his superiors were being on the radio five minutes ago and how when we get back there will be hell to pay because...MOTHERF*CKER SHUT THE F*CK UP AND GET US OUT OF THIS HOUSE ALIVE YOU TWAT.

Well the good news is that Trump is definitely in an age range where the coronavirus would wipe him out. The bad news is you'll get Pence for 5 years.

I know we’re better off working with China than fighting with them if we want to live.

blaming China for Trump's failures is stupid, but ignoring their share of the blame or actively praising them as a model is also stupid. Most of us aren't willing to live in the kind of police state necessary to replicate their approach, and if you think we're in the same boat in terms of civil liberties because a rogue intelligence agent who released state secrets gets similar treatment here to a doctor in China who warns about the danger of an impending pandemic, then I just see that as severely deluded.

I agree with OH that we shouldn't be escalating tensions with China though. That's exactly what is happening though and was happening before Corona. The virus is just fuel on the fire.

Have you even seen an Iranian film? They're incredible and I hope that continues.
