Amidst his deep breaths and sniffs, he read a prepared speech from a teleprompter.

You do understand that all oval office addresses are prepared speeches, right?

Hence my question: How can this even happen?

Trump wasn't shooting from the hip on this one (which would be understandable, if not forgivable) - three major policy mistakes in a prepared speech that I'm well-aware he didn't write. How does that happen?

We can agree to disagree on what you call policy mistakes. The travel ban was the right thing to do, as it was the right thing to do before it started when people like you called him a racist for it.

Not surprising to hear you think so low of me, just disappointing, especially considering I never called him a racist. I'm not calling the travel ban a policy mistake, SC. I'm also done holding your hand through this critique.

When you state your opinion as fact, being condescending about it doesn't make your position anymore correct.


Also, who said I think low of you? That is just the built in Liberal victim-hood gene kicking in.

This isn't opinion. However, my opinion about the situation outlined below is that it's understandable to have a few mistakes to clarify following a setting like a press conference, not from a prepared speech delivered to the entire world. Can we agree on that? Or is that too condescendingly liberal of me to assume?

Remind me to use "he's only human!" as an excuse. Very effective and sounds pretty liberal too

I fully stocked my home for a long duration stay. Unfortunately the floor to ceiling toilet paper leaves no room for people.

I guess it's only good to cut "Government waste" until you can use a crisis down the road to justify the need for said "waste"

Is there any reasonable belief that eliminating those positions would’ve stopped this from happening? By all accounts, we offered assistance to China in the beginning and they refused. It isn’t as though we didn’t have the manpower to address it.

I don't think that's necessarily the belief, but moreso in being prepared. It's the difference between being proactive and reactive to an unexpected situation. However, some might equate being proactive and having a team on-hand to handle situations like this to wasting taxpayer resources. Hindsight is 20/20.

This time tomorrow I will be arriving in Miami for my cruise!

In other news, the Trump administration was far ahead of his European counterparts in stemming the tide of the Corona virus.
