"Americans love Trump's positive attitude"

A little part of this article

"a new poll conducted by Gallup shows that as many as 60 percent of Americans are well pleased with the president's positive attitude and his efforts against the corona virus.

The same survey shows that 49 percent of the US population is happy with the president's efforts overall "

So there you have it..you love your President

C'mon man, that's a lie and you know it. Trump never said that he'd murder anyone.

He didn't say he could get away with it. He said he wouldn't lose any voters.

He was obviously kidding.

When asked if they agreed one of his supporters said it would all depend on who it was.

It's always being put to the test. For every politician. All the time.

Tis true.

More of an indictment of his followers than him.

You had to dig up an opinion piece from 2016 that is not even relevant to what we're talking about to *try* take a jab at something, anything. Stop before you make yourself look even more of a fool.

Seems pretty desperate.

I love the response:

Quote:

CNN hosted a panel of female voters from swing counties in Pennsylvania, with one of them asserting that there was nothing President Donald Trump could do that would get her to stop supporting him, suggesting that she'd continue to back him if he shot someone in public.
"Is there anything he could do, or anything that could happen, that would make you not vote for him?" CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota asked.
"No," the panelist, Crystal Arlington, responded.
Camerota then asked: "If he shot someone on Fifth Avenue [in New York City], would you vote for him?"
Panelist Marian Taylor was the first to reply, saying: "You'd have to know why he shot him."
"Yeah, why did he shoot him?" Arlington interjected, echoing Taylor's comment.

The American people are hardly the bleary eyed robots the Dem media tries to portray us as. We think for ourselves.

I would like to add, that it wasn't immediate and unexpected turnaround as presented by Rockstar. Finnish government has adjusted its response overtime based on collected information and expert advice rather than mood of the president/prime minister as seems to be in some countries. Could it have been better? I'm sure professional review with benefit of hindsight will find something.

I would also like to point out that actions of governments should be evaluated based on progress of pandemic rather than calendar. At the moment Finland is many weeks behind Italy and few weeks behind other Nordic countries and that is great thing to us: We can observe and evaluate other's actions and avoid repeating mistakes. It also mean that government actions which happen at same calendar time with other countries (i.e. border closures in nothern Europe) actually happen earlier in pandemic timeline. Ofcourse this advantage does not guarantee that Finnish government's actions will be better than those in other European counties or elsewhere.
