Trump says he wouldn't have acted differently on coronavirus without impeachment

President Trump said Tuesday that he would not have acted differently or more quickly in addressing the coronavirus if he weren’t impeached by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.
“I don’t think I would have done any better if I had not been impeached,” Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room Tuesday evening. “I don’t think I would have acted any differently, or I don’t think I would have acted any faster.”
Trump was asked whether impeachment diverted his or his team’s attention from the coronavirus, after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) earlier Tuesday blamed Democrats for distracting the federal government from the outbreak because of the push to impeach the president.

  1. As for accusing me of a screed, I would point out you're the one with the broken CAPS LOCK button, not me. You have to refocus: China started this outbreak and facilitated its international spread. Intentionally? Could be, considering that even as the world reels, it lies about the lack of new cases, continues to encourage travel of its citizens and sends "relief packages" full of defective masks and test kits which is likely an attempt to sabotage the efforts of other countries in fighting this plague. But on this blog, Trump! Trump!
    Russia, meanwhile is lying about its numbers and fighting an oil war with Saudi Arabia that's helping cripple Western economies. But for you, Trump! Trump!
    Up here in Canada a week ago the government, which currently has a minority position in parliament, tried to pass legislation that would allow it to act like a majority, after agreeing with the opposition that it wouldn't do so. Sweden is trying Britain's failed "Let 'er rip" approach to the virus and it's numbers are shooting up. In Israel there is uncontrolled spread and entire cities (hint: with large religious populations) are almost entirely infected. But all it is with you is, Trump! Trump!
    Never mind that the other side of the aisle is just as corrupt and inept when it comes to fighting this plague. Don't you see the bigger picture?

  2. OBVIOUSLY your logic is perfect -
    if anybody else in the world has done something wrong - how could any rational being be concerned with what the president has done wrong. If ?China lies or fails to intervene properly in a health crisis - why can't Trump?. If dictators destroy Democracy why should anyone focus on Trump doing the same?
    yes if Trump handled the virus in an incompetent manner it is enough to claim the virus was not his fault.

    It is like saying if an arsonists burns down a building there is no basis to criticize an incompetent fire department because they didn't start the fire.
