i again contradict your policy claims with my Trump policy link. and for shits and giggles mention the removal of the unconstitutional individual mandate fine from Obamacare.

your claims are mostly just opinion here. how are farmers let down? "bolstering" the VA? are you looking for a very specific thing while ignoring the other stuff?
it's not great when i can make the point with the first CNN article to pop up on google.

you misunderstand what i mean, although i find that funny with all of what the left has to say about Fox or Ben Shapiro or (insert any conservative channel here)

Snopes is just a bunch regular regular people like us "fact-checking". not only are questions often phrased oddly so the answers can be distorted... but the sources are often opinions pieces cycling a web of bs.
i wouldn't say they are fake, but i would say you could do just as well if not better than them at fact-checking.
"fact-checking" is largely a biased activity from both sides.


1. just looking at soybeans alone (https://www.macrotrends.net/2531/soybean-prices-historical-chart-data)
2. the VA is so fucked up that while he's doing something, its just not enough for the broken system.

i think generally you're just interpreting what i say to mean "he's done literally nothing" when in fact i mean "he hasnt done enough to live up to campaign promises and yet each half measure gets a campaign promises kept narrative from the right attached to it".

While Skinned was flippantly dismissing the potential impact of covid 19, respected doctors thought it might infect half the world's population.

the bolded way you state it i have no issue with, and on many topics might even side with you on. but you haven't been stating it as a the bolded phrasing.
you've been stating all of this as a "gotcha" negative on Trump and the COV-2 virus/COVID-19 disease. take your 2 phrasings here, and compare them both to your prior statements today. which of those phrasings are comparative?

not many things can happen quickly, but even still, a lot has been started because of the Trump administration. i'm not saying he will complete everything, but his attempts are at least promising. they are at the least, more than "not doing it"
to also ignore that the House and a good chunk of his own NSC has been irrationally in opposition of everything and there has still been a lot accomplished.

you may not like Trump. perhaps you just might have constructive criticisms. that's fine, but i'm always going to argue against that he's "done nothing". it's simply a false statement even as opinion.

you do you boo. you just might save yourself some time by assuming up front im being at least a bit hyperbolic, asking if im being literal, and then waiting on a response before researching a lengthy post.

and you think that creating a task force (of science deniers and appeasers) AFTER this has shown the potential for a global pandemic, somehow deserves credit - even though his previous actions severely limited america's response in the crucial early stage, and they keep messing up like: https://time.com/5792135/coronavirus-whistleblower-hhs-employees/

that's like firing all the prison guards, and when the inmates escape and start killing the public, you want credit for hiring a couple of priests to solve the problem by telling everyone it's not that bad - and probably god's will anyway...

i wanted to address this again, i didn't have time this morning to really go through it.
here's a quote from your link. look at the date of both the plane landing, and Trump assigning the Corona task force.

A charter flight from Wuhan, China, carrying approximately 200 U.S. citizens, taxis to a stop at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, Calif. Wednesday morning Jan. 29, 2020. The flight originated from the area where the coronavirus outbreak started. All the passengers will be held in quarantine for an unknown duration.

President Donald Trump announced on Jan. 29 the creation of a task force to monitor and combat the new coronavirus that originated in China.

it's not generally a good thing, but it's not something you can blame on the "task force" that wasn't formed until that very day. you can blame the superiors that sent out workers to that air-field unprotected.

again, we didn't know much about it at this time. China didn't give us much info about this virus, and even imprisoned those who tried to bring it to light early off. i'm trying to find when we first learned about it from China
edit: it appears to be Jan. 20th at the earliest when the public found out. i could be wrong, it's hard to search this since everyone is updating data we previously didn't have into articles
