@Brandon9000,
I was telling the truth. Trump and his admirer Trish Regan-who provoked obloquy after she took a swipe at Trump's critics for asking Trump to pay heed to the threat of covid-19 - both claimed that it was an effort to hurt President Donald Trump. More to the point, some balky conservatives still make a case that Biden's supporters are to blame for all the accusations against Trump and the way he deals with the effects of covid-19, when "the US is now the world leader in coronavirus infections, with more than 100,000 as of Friday. That includes more than 25,000 in New York City," according to CNN.
Such irreverent and blinkered conservatives could be clapping their hands for Trump since Trump's America has beat out China and Italy to lay claim to being the world leader in coronavirus infections. That's what I found on the website of Fox News; one cad even left a comment suggesting that most Americans are supportive of Trump no matter what he and his cronies do or did.
You know what Trump did? Trump slashed the Centres for Disease Control’s China-based staff; Trump signed Rescission Proposal R18-1 in a bid to remove "the remaining $252m budget for International Disaster Assistance that had been committed in 2015 as part of the Ebola response, and the State Department’s $30m Complex Crises Fund", according to Will Dunn's latest column published by the New Statesman; Trump and the wets in his government chose to disregard Laurie Garrett's exhortations about the need for America to keep its eyes open when confronted with the threat of such viruses like covid-19 in her first book; Weihong Tan, a Chinese scientist who just created a faster test for covid-19 for China, was expelled by America last year- under orders from Trump- after Trump impelled his people to crack down on China's Thousand Talents program and its influence operations in America, even though the University of Florida knew that Weihong Tan had been working with other colleges located in China- Weihong Tan had told the University of Florida about this.
Trump has a foreign wife, who used to be a model. Do you think America needs more bony models and flossy celebs when China strives to hire bright minds-including well-bred Chinese Americans-from America? Some top-flight foreign scientists and pundits have been hired to boot, for your information.
There is a case to be made that America would do well to retain talent instead of kicking lettered people out, since nescient sorts like me need brave souls and erudites to emancipate us from the clutches of a crisis, not a crank who swanks about on Fox News and a female model who simpers like a humanoid. And that's the only way for America to keep playing the role as the guardian of the rules-based international order.
In any case, I think that for all their ideological conflicts both liberals and conservatives also quail at the though of an alternative for mankind, which could be world beset by collective thinking and mind control, a world devoid of reason, critical thinking or even individual freedoms, just like Putin's Russia or North Korea.
I have to go back to read my novel, by which I mean don't wait for me to reply to your other messages. You have fun here.
