Jim Acosta: ‘This Was a Different Trump’ at Coronavirus Briefing-WTF??

[Bill]

Too true.


I think there is some deer in the headlights going on here

This is completely outside Trump's capabilities or experience. An incompetent person swimming uncharted waters could be unnerving him.

It was easy and fun when all he had to do was babysit the Obama Economic Recovery and hold KAG rallies

Yep........ Exactly..

The similarities to Hoover are almost eerie in some respects..

Of course while conald was bankrupting casinos & banging porn stars Hoover was out saving lives & helping rebuild nations destroyed by war..

Unfortunately he was unwilling, or as some say, politically unable to do the same in the USA..

Is trump really learning from the mistakes of others?? Or doomed to repeat them given his gut instincts & yesMen advisors.........???

I wonder because we are getting a flat amount, equivalent to a few weeks rent in many major cities while the folks in poorer European countries are getting:
Covid-19’s Economic Pain Is Universal. But Relief? Depends on Where You Live.

In some countries, workers will have 90 percent of lost wages covered. In others, residents fear eviction. Nation to nation, rescue plans reflect conflicting ideas of government’s role in a crisis.

Wow, I just watched some of it, Trump was actually polite to Acosta. Looks like maybe Trump might have given up on his PR propaganda campaign.

[ExpressLane]

Case in point.

As I say "The gullible on the left aren't smart enough to realize what is happening".

You cannot stand the fact that Trump grew up and act like an adult and Acosta was praising him for it.

Or maybe this crisis is what we finally needed for us to put our differences aside and act like adults. Some are still lagging and using this politically. Those that do are finding it doesn't help their political agenda (see Pelosi and her insistence on GND pork added to the relief bill).

And the gullible on the right as well. Point being?

Exactly the point! Trump is putting aside the differences! Glad you see it now.

No time to be combative. Even Pelosi and fake news correspondent Acosta are finally getting it.

[ThatOwlWoman]

At least Trump seems to be taking the issue seriously now and is not spending his time telling us how past diseases were worst in order to "put it in perspective" or calling it a hoax.

Progress, eh?

Of course he's scared. He's not scared for my life or yours though. He's scared for himself and his chances of re-election. He can't blame this on Obama or the CDC or Pelosi or China anymore. The buck has stopped.

Not being combative. You can look at it that way all you want. The fact remains that Trump is taking this seriously. You should be glad about that.

The left are more gullible because if they weren't gullible they wouldn't be on the left.

so what? he's a low life slug -why should I care about ANYTHING he says?

Many of us feel the same way about Trump. It's okay. You're among friends now.

Bravo

Sorry I know the truth hurts

Not being combative.

I know that. Was't talking about you. About the media and politicians in general.

The fact remains that Trump is taking this seriously. You should be glad about that.

I am.
