{UAH} Donald Trump's single greatest accomplishment as President (Opinion) -

Barigye

 

And one can argue that the press has brought its self to this situation and in many ways. Media is supposed to be a critical  eye on politicians, but it is not supposed to be under mining them. I want the press of this entire city to critique my party, but good Lord I do not want them going to the Canadian agency, buy intelligence officers to create stories about my party leader, that is not a press it is writers that are political hacks. People died during the H1N1, how many reports did you see being written by American media? We were getting those numbers out of Australia Moscow and so on, but American press is controlled by Democrats thus it never reports any shot coming in a Democrat administration.

 

There is another part too. Political station hacks like CNN repeatedly lie that Trump called the virus a hoax. You have  repeated that lie in this forum, Pojim has repeated it, Cue has repeated it, Ocen Nekyon has repeated it, Paul Semalulu has reposted it, and that single lie has been accepted by Abbey Semuwemba to run in UAH no questions asked. But is there any one of you that can stand right now and post a tape of Donald J Trump calling this virus a Hoax? Did you actually have a tape a utube, an article stating word for word where Trump called this virus a Hoax? So if you have it then it means he is just stupid, for he refused to believe into it yet he moved to shut down the flights from China a month before, when all of you including CNN were still sucking the impeachment firkin tit. You stood up and claimed that impeachment  was the one thing going to structure out the November election, I am flipping a finger at all of you.

 

Friends, the man never called the virus a Hoax, he was addressing the Democrats, for "politicizing" of the coronavirus as "their new hoax." He did never refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax.  Throughout the man's speech, Trump reiterated that his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously. Fake media got that statement and sold it to suckers like Pojim and the Pojim's walked into forums like UAH selling the crap. If you missed the speech here is the tape of exactly what Trump stated, as I continue to maintain the facts examination. If you need the  transcript I have it too just ask for it. Now if the media stands up and creates such a disinformation, tell me a reason why anyone would believe them when they say we need to social distance our sleeves?

Get off the media forums, get off the television stations, if you want the facts join the Donald J Trump tweeter account

Nobody knows how much damage coronavirus will cause. But one thing is clear: the crisis has tested President Donald Trump -- and he has proven to be an astonishing success in a way no president ever has before.

But let's be clear: his success isn't at leading a desperate nation. Instead, coronavirus has exposed the real success of the President's unyielding assault on the media during his time in office.

Elliot Williams

Many in the public don't know whom to trust anymore and the President has played a big role in that. This is particularly tragic during a national crisis, when the nation needs to rely on a free press more than ever.

Even a polarizing president can unify the nation in a time of crisis. There may be differing views about Ronald Reagan, but no reasonable mind can deny the comfort he provided us after the Challenger explosion in 1986. Contrast that with Trump on Sunday, who during a formal coronavirus briefing, while surrounded by uniformed public health officers (not modeling responsible "social distancing" behavior, mind you) couldn't resist whining about "fake news." Trump was unhappy about the natural skepticism from reporters about a misleading (or at least confusing) claim regarding access to information about coronavirus testing.

Any goodwill the President might deserve for suddenly adopting a more reasonable tone at coronavirus press conferences is undercut by his Twitter demeanor, which remains as petty as ever.

 

Trump's coronavirus conversion

Presidents often have tense relationships with the media; the Obama administration in which I served certainly had its own. But Trump's relationship with the press is something unique. The President regularly bullies or attacks the credibility of anything or anyone that isn't fully in lockstep with him: the intelligence community, federal prosecutors, career diplomats, the Federal Reserve Board, federal courts, the National Security Council, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and top military officials, to name a few..

And the media are no exception. These entities have something major in common: They all play a critical role in the health and security of the American public.

Which brings us back to the media's role in a public health emergency. While according to Pew, most Americans receive some news from social media and online sources, the risk of actual "fake news" from such sources is real. Americans need to be able to trust the credible sources and authorities that provide them with safety information.

For instance, recently major steps were taken across the country to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. Over just two days, the White House recommended limitations on social gatherings of more than 10 people, Los Angeles took aggressive steps to limit public activity, and my home city of the District of Columbia prohibited dining at restaurants.

 

Why it's taking nearly three weeks for me to find out if I have the coronavirus

To work, each of these actions in major cities requires a robust local and national press -- and public faith -- to burn the message into people's heads. Moreover, journalists should be entitled to a little space to keep up with developments of the rapidly changing situation without being accused of lying by the leader of the free world.

No matter how seriously the President appears to now take coronavirus, his years of bashing the media and tweeting statements like "The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the coronavirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant" have already done their damage.

The President has not walked back or apologized for such tweets, even now adopting the disproven narrative that he always known that coronavirus would become a pandemic. Even assuming that he has now shifted his tone and approach for the better, how many people exposed themselves to coronavirus while believing the President that it was a hoax?

We will likely never know.

 

President Trump, heed these five lessons from my career in disaster response

Sadly, polling data confirm the problem. According to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, when asked whether they worry a family member will catch coronavirus, 68% of Democrats said yes, while 40% of Republicans said yes.

In any political climate, it's one thing for polling to split over how a President is performing. It's entirely another when there is a yawning partisan divide over basic matters of public health and safety. With the President constantly crowing about how the press lies to the public, he deserves a tremendous amount of the blame for the disconnect.

In establishing himself as an independent arbiter of truth, he has created space for the public to discredit facts and rely on his own statements. Unfortunately, these range from patently false or misleading remarks like "when you have 15 [coronavirus cases in the United States], and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero," to utter nonsense like "[Coronavirus is] going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear" — a statement that would be laughed at by a 9th grade biology student.

So, while the war on "fake news" might just look like the grumbling of a President who's sore about the coverage he gets from what he thinks is a biased media, it's far bigger than that. It's a destructive, ongoing attack that could bring with it massive public health costs.

So, congratulations, Mr. President! In undermining the free press, you have succeeded at something that seems to have been critically important to you for years. Now good luck cleaning up the mess you've created.
