Trump is not a racist. He is just an egocentric narcissist. Once you understand that about him, it will be easy to see where his failings come from: his consistent need for self-adulation.

I'll give examples:
1. He had to come across as a President who knew what he was doing when he fired the America's pandemic team in China (Obama set up the teams in global disease hotspots), so he tells Americans, don't worry about the Corona virus, the Chinese government is on top of it;
2. He's egocentric and can't take honest advice from his Scientists, so he ignores warnings in several quarters that a pandemic was about to hit the US and that the US was unprepared;
3. He shut US airports against planes coming from China but not those coming in from the EU, even though Italy, Spain, France and the UK were already in full-blown crisis with hundreds dying;
Again, he had to overrule his advisers who advocated that he shut down all travel to and from the US, because, egoist that he is, he has to be the smartest guy in the room;
4. When the crisis hit the US, independent research laboratories and University laboratories were developing tests to sense the virus. Mr President made it illegal to use those tests. Only the test kits approved by the FDA made the cut; so several weeks of proactive testing of millions were missed;
5. He's picking fights with Governors in the midst of thousands of Americans dying on his watch - 31,000 Americans as at this morning.

Guys, his egocentrism is his undoing. Every failure he has had as a leader is because of it. He is not racist. He just can't help adoring himself. He is the most beautiful son of a bitch to walk the face of this earth. And he failed the whole earth. Let's just imagine Obama as President in the midst of this crisis. Things would have turn out well for the earth.

Americans made a mistake voting an egocentric person into the Presidency. The funny thing is, they might repeat the mistake in November. We humans are funny. We can do no wrong. We are always right. Only the guy next door is wrong.

Nobody is going to show you that, i have already given you data of poor people in the US to disproved the fallacies that there are more poor black people than whites.

Also, present statistics won't show you the data you needed but a simple research about those areas will show the big picture of what is going on there, most of those areas of the hood, there is also high hiv rate, violence, drug dealing etc.

Okay ma

lograr:


Go and kill them na.

sexylassie:


Yes but in this covid 19, poor blacks die more due to health factors and also for not obeying guidelines of social distancing.

How come poor whites aren't dying in masses like poor black?

dru23:


The South where you have a lot blacks is still indirectly segregated ,if you know , you know

Aside from Trump, I also think WHO failed in their ONLY RESPONSIBILITY. I remember even up to Jan 2020 WHO was still against shutting d borders. Up until Dec 2019, WHO still could not establish if there is human-human transmission. WHO seems (I stand to be corrected) to be relying "too much" on info from President XI, even me from my small room here I know and it was quite obvious that the Chinese govt was lying about this virus. Yet, WHO too me was just too China centric and I agree with Trump on that. I never knew a day will come when I will agree with Trump on anything.
Though, suspending funding at the middle of a pandemic is quite pathetic and dumb.

sexylassie:


But this does not answer the question, what has segregation got to do with genetic health issues of many black people.

sexylassie:


Trump isnt a racist, i hope you know that Trump was a democratic party member, when he became a republican the media says he is racist. this is the tactics of the fake news media CNN especially.

Before he contested for presidency, every black celeb always ride with trump, then he contested, identity politics started

Many rich blacks support trump presidency and even donated to his campaign, those who called trump a racist are black people who are ignorant and uneducated.

The reality is there is no proof of trump racism other than what CNN says he is.

CNN supports the democratic party so they are anti anything trump.

also all the stories and essay about trump on black people and africans are all fake news, no proof he wrote them.

I love mr trump. Whatever trump does is right in my eye The Chinese virus is being used as a political weapon against mr trump by the democrat, If I am correct, ending of this year will be an election and trump will win again, mr biden the man who doesn't know where he is and doesn't know what he speaks of, will lose.

The most hit hard state by the chinese virus is newyork, a Democratic party control state but they will also find ways to blame trump for their mismanagement

Chuwaa:


You're the first 'Never Trumper' I've seen to just at least agree that the racist bant cannot just stick, even McCain was called racist when he was contesting. I agree with you on the elements of narcissism. But I like the way he handles some things because prior to his time Republicans were the most timid set of people I had seen and the leftist media had shifted a lot of narratives including the facts that it was Democrats that opposed anti slavery and the fact that Lincoln was a Republican.

@Chuwaa
Your timeline of events is detailed, but you see, they are just Trump's administration's excuses for its failure.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/germany-testing-coronavirus

The article above highlights Germany's preparation when the virus broke out in Wuhan. Germany began preparing in December 2019. President Trump was still wishing the virus away in late February and calling it another Democrats hoax. Imagine if the US had taken the steps Germany took, in December?

Let's contrast:
1). Germany's total death toll since January is yet to hit 2,000 after 14 weeks of the crisis.
2) 2,800 Americans died yesterday from the virus.

Let President Trump keep up with his excuses while Americans die under his watch. We know governments that work when we see one.

You don't leave in the USA, so your view hold very limited water ...
As a leader you need to take the bad with the goods .. When things go well you take credit ,and when things go bad you take responsibility... you can't have it one way ,Trump takes credit when things are only good ,but when things are bad , it is not his fault he blames others for it .. He is running the country like he is running his business. He file for bankruptcy six times for his business, this is facts..... Lets get down to the real issue below


...
Let the game continue... Keep in mind If America sneezes, the rest of the world will catch a cold .. Forget China been powerful etc. Most countries are moving their factories outside China, it is a gradual process ......

Blacks are more affected not due to social distancing, but due to poverty and due to lack of health care facility ..blacks do not have access to health care facility as the whites.. Poverty and race plays a major role in this, and health issues too ...

But if you don't have the same health care facility as others ,than you bound to die faster than others. The reason why average Nigerians don't live long is due to poor health facility....

And there are certain medical conditions that are easily affected by white than blacks .. White people are more prone to get cancer than blacks.

dru23:

sexylassie:


You have just repeated what the liberal news are saying, blacks are poor, racism, lack access to health facilities but statistics says otherwise, there are more poor white people than black people. In general, poor people are more likely not to have access to health care.

You wrote like there are no rich and middle class black people that are not affected by corono virus, the generalisation that blacks are poor and lack health care is wrong, there are millions of blacks who are in upper and middle class in america and have access to health facilities and lives good lives.

There are white ghettos, Latinos ghettos, black ghettos, how come the black ghettos are the ones suffering most from corona virus?

I haven't seen any logical answer other than racism, poverty and discrimination as if it only black people that suffers from racism, poverty and discrimination.

How come the rich and middle class blacks are not affected by corona virus? It means they are doing something right, practising social distancing, if those ones affected by coronovirus had practiced social distancing, I believe the infection rate in the black community would have been low.

As for cancer, black people also die from cancer, high blood pressure, hypertension, HIV and many more.

In as much as I won't like to dispute anything, I can only share my experience. I use S5 and when I started out, my heart beat anytime I'm on taxify trip, I realise it was because I always start the google map, so I stop starting it, but use the direction trace only and it work for me (Tried it over & over nd I was right about it). The few failed trip I got lately was somewhat my fault, I saw MTN advert of 2000 for 2.5g and 2500 naira talk time, that was how I let go of etisalat for MTN, the 2500 self I don't know if it is 500 naira per mins (it's just callingonniown), Network! Is like one IT student is using it to do practical, I'll on trip nd I won't see the network again, within me I'll just resign to fate, whatever the outcome.

At the bolded, don't believe everything you hear about the US. 3788 people presumed dead in NY were never tested and every death is now attributed to COVID. About two weeks ago some people began to do hospital challenge. Is the disease killing people? Yes! Are the deaths that high? No! Are All the hospitals still overwhelmed? NO! A lot of medical professionals(owners of health facilities) are cleaning out in claims. California or NYC brought out a memo that classifies any death of a COVID carrier as COVID even if it's by car crash or domestic violence which is on the rise in US now.

Also balance your articles with the numerous banana peels the Democrats and the press keep putting up along the way. What was the response of Schumer and Pelosi as well of the press when they first banned flights? Let's look from the context of US system too.

What of the drama about the palliative when interest groups keep adding items totally unrelated to the issue at hand thereby delaying its passage? Today that package is benefitting the rich more than the poor and as Dru rightly said, the poor will always face the music more.... No matter what.
No matter what Trump does, he will be criticised. I saw Obama's clip during ing Ebola, he was seriously under tension when answering questions about US response.

I think the major grouse is the personality of Trump, he simply cannot be bullied.

Anyway November is coming, let Americans go and elect Biden.... Another Buhari of unawares
