'A day after 2,804 Americans died in a single day from the coronavirus pandemic – almost as many as in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks – Donald Trump said nothing about the harrowing national crisis.' Guardian

Why has the President nothing to say? He is certainly giving the impression that he is unconcerned about anything but his vanished re-election.

Why should he apologize for Democrat governors killing their constituents?
He surely was the most crazy and incompetent leader your country has had - it was good your country decided he needed the boot and fired him.

Why not say something about heart attack victims, or drunk driving deaths, etc....

Maybe each day he just just spend his day addressing deaths of people.

I am always puzzled why people look to leaders, celebrities, sports figures, etc to say things. Their words are useless babble.

I'm surprised you find it so complicated but let me explain - As the leader of his country, one of his prime responsibilities is the welfare of those living in the country. This is particularly so when it comes to major health events such as natural disasters and pandemics. Such events require strong national leadership and well-coordinated administration - neither of which the now-fired president was able to demonstrate.

This is unlike sports figures, celebrities etc, who have no role to play during national disasters. So as you can see, there's a big difference. If I was as incompetent as the current president and failed to perform my duties as spectacularly as Trump did, such that now in excess of 180 000 new cases a day occur, and 2000 a day die, then I feel I should apologize for my incompetence and negligence.

Yup fired him real good. And replaced him with a senile CSPAN child molester.

But, at least people in countries we couldn't find on a map like us again.

Bravo! Notice the bolded "your", it speaks volumes when people from OTHER countries can see the light of Trump's lunacy. If other countries thinks as such, then should even a good amount of our own US citizens.
I dunno, you'd think an outside opinion would carry more weight to those that don't see it.

Australian: "Man, your leader is incompetent!"

Me, and American: "Hey, I'm not insulted, I agree!"

I put yes but for our current leader I wouldn’t mind if he just stayed quiet until his term is up. Nothing he says is of any value anyway. Condolences and sympathy wouldn’t mean squat coming from him.

The President has said so much about it over the past ten months or so, that for anyone to strain to make it sound as though he's done the exact opposite doesn't come across as anything but just one more partisan cheap shot.

I remember when he called it a hoax and said it would go away in April or suggested injecting disinfectant and UV light or said he wasn’t going to be wearing a mask. It’s probably for the best of he just shuts up on the entire subject of COVID altogether.

Americans dying daily don't mean much when you only care about yourself. There's golf to be played. And maskless Christmas parties to hold. And Qcumber theories to rant about.


I thought for sure he would say something after South Dakota started sacrificing their people, but he apparently doesn't care about Red States either.

Not all of us are ignorant of the world outside our bunker.

Statistically, most are.

The rest of us know enough about the world to laugh in the faces of brainwashed foreigners who think they are in any position to lecture us about our own internal politics.

I can link the videos of him saying each of these in context but it’s hardly worth my time or effort to waste on people who’ve shown they don’t care to know better.

You can link clipped videos of our very inarticulate president talking from the hip.
