Are Trump's approval ratings going back up because the Covid task force briefings are back?

I've ran across this argument a couple of places recently. But I have to admit that I have not been watching the new briefings, nor do I know anyone who is. That being said, it's always better when the President and those around him speak directly to the public, rather than allow the media to create the narrative. Perhaps that is the lesson to be learned moving into election season.


But either way, the idea of the President talking directly to the people upsets the liberal media and it exposes them in ways that they are otherwise not endanger of. Generally they can get away with writing most anything, even during these press conferences. The only difference is that they can be seriously fact checked themselves when all of this is sitting out there to view. eg: Most reasonable people went back to the task force briefing after the drinking bleach fiasco and realized that the President said no such thing (didn't even mention bleach). While many liberals hung on to the concept, the joke was eventually on them for believing something inherently ridiculous and obviously not true.

Recently we have seen more and more liberal commentators suggests (for a variety of reasons) that there should be no Presidential debates. Of course, this would eliminate the chance for millions of Americans to actually see the candidates in person, listen to them first hand, and judge them for their performance. Perhaps nothing has been more mainstream and traditional during a campaign season than Presidential debates. At this point in time, there is absolutely no reason why two men could not stand on a stage at least six feet apart and answer questions live. The idea that Covid does not allow for this is insane.

But imagine the joy that the media would have if the debates were cancelled and the information that voters got was even more filtered by what the media tells them?

MUST WATCH: Either Joe Biden lies or he can't remember being "constantly tested" for cognitive decline.

July: "I've been tested and I'm constantly tested"

Now: "No I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test."

from Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball

As we examine the race for the Senate majority, we thought it’d be worthwhile to rank the dozen seats we see as the most competitive from most to least likely to change hands. As we see it right now, 10 of the 12 most vulnerable seats are held by Republicans, even as Democrats are defending the seat likeliest to flip, Alabama.

1. Alabama (D)
2. Colorado (R)
3. Arizona (R)
4. Maine (R)
5. North Carolina (R)
6. Iowa (R)
7. Montana (R)
8. Georgia (Regular) (R)
9. Michigan (D)
10. Texas (R)
11. Georgia (Special) (R)
12. Alaska (R)

LARRY SABATO'S CONCLUSION:
Overall, the battle for the Senate is close, although we would probably rather be the Democrats than the Republicans at the moment. The reason is basically that, of the three decisive Toss-ups in our ratings, we would probably pick the Democrats in at least two of them right now: both Maine and North Carolina are closer to Leans Democratic than Leans Republican. If Democrats win those, as well as Arizona and Colorado (while losing Alabama), they would forge a 50-50 tie, with what they hope is a Democratic vice president breaking ties.

Beyond these top races, the Democrats also have better second-tier targets than the Republicans: namely, the regular race in Georgia as well as Montana. We were prepared to add Kansas to that list, too, but Roger Marshall seems to have spared the GOP that additional headache.

Foreign Workers Received U.S. Stimulus Checks
August 5, 2020 at 10:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Thousands of foreign workers who entered the U.S. on temporary work visas received $1,200 checks in error during the first round of stimulus payments, and many of them are spending the money in their home nations,” NPR reports.

AND EACH OF THOSE CHECKS HAS DONALD TRUMP'S NAME ON IT. He insisted on that.

Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball had another list:

Diseases and viruses that are the direct fault of Presidents:

1) Seasonal flu
2) Malaria
3) Lung cancer
4) Covid
5) Dementia
6) Chicken pox
7) Common cold
8) Muscular dystrophy

http://www.larrysabato_onlyidiotsbelievepresidentsareatfaultfordisease.com

Since you are such an expert on this sort of thing... perhaps you could wade in on the list?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Remember how #TraitorTrump was saying we needed to be testing fewer people for the Trump Virus? Republican Governors, like the Trump Toady in Florida, is doing just that. Maybe that's why the Dumbass, who can't even pronounce Yosemite (even while trying to read it to the press) keeps telling anyone that will listen that the "numbers are going down in Florida and Texas".

Don't be fooled by the supposed declining daily cases in Florida. Since August 1st, where 51,000 tests were being done per day, the number of tests dropped to 31,000 on the 3rd and 4th....I have to wonder how much less it will be today.

Right now, as I'm writing this, America has 4,920,095 cases of the Trump Virus. Sadly, as of right now, the death toll stands at 160,365. These numbers are the sole responsibility of #TraitorTump's inaction to take action to protect the citizens of this country. I consider him nothing less than a mass murderer.

You know how he keeps saying he "saved millions from the virus"? He was told in January, by Dr. Fauci by the way, that if he did nothing...nada...not a damn thing to halt the spread of the virus, then there was a real possibility the pandemic could kill one-and-one-half to two million Americans. This is at the time he was calling the virus a "Democrat hoax". Then, after closing our border to China (we were the 44th nation to do that), the Dumbass thought he saved "millions" from the disease. That is how his feeble little mind, or what's left of it, works.

#TraitorTrump's AXIOS interview exhibited just how inept and out of touch the Oval Office Squatter really is. It is a situation where we are witnessing Donald Trump lose his mind a little more by the day. I don't know if he has the onset of Alzheimer's, or if Syphilis is eating his brain, but one thing is obvious...that boy's elevator don't go all the way to the top.

or whether Ch is again lying by trying to claim that someone (like me) ever claimed certain of the Presidents "created" those diseases?

Michelle Obama Is Managing ‘Low-Grade Depression’
August 5, 2020 at 10:55 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Michelle Obama said in a new episode of her podcast that she is “dealing with some form of low-grade depression” this year.

Said Obama:
“Not just because of the quarantine, but because of the racial strife, and just seeing this administration, watching the hypocrisy of it, day in and day out, is dispiriting.”

She added:
“I have to say that waking up to the news, waking up to how this administration has or has not responded, waking up to yet another story of a Black man or a Black person somehow being dehumanized, or hurt or killed, or falsely accused of something, it is exhausting. And it has led to a weight that I haven’t felt in my life, in a while.”
____________

A lot of Americans, Black and White, are feeling that way Michelle.
But cheer up! Soon we will all begin to feel much better when we see that our nation's history is again headed in the right direction.

Enlighten us with how all of these Presidents got the Federal Government to build temporary hospitals or send thousands of ventilators around the country, or moved medical military ships, or created task forces, and held daily breifings.


What specifically did Obama do that was so wonderful in his response to the Swine flu? 60 million got infected? How hard did we work to stop the spread? Did we shut down? Social distance? Wear masks?

What leadership did he show while 60,000,000 Americans got sick?

C.H. Truth said...

The Reverend keeps demanding that the Obama Administration response to the swine flu was vastly superior to the response from current Administration.

But so far, he hasn't actually been able to come up with a single thing that Obama did that helped stop the spread of the Swine flu, which infected over 60 million Americans.

Ironically, the CDC under Obama argued with schools that wanted to close due to the fact that the swine flu disproportionately affected children. CDC recommended that the schools stay open, but that children spend at least seven days home. The CDC also never recommended any shut down of businesses, just the same guidance that sick workers should isolate for at least seven days.

The CDC did not recommend the use of face masks or respirators other than in health care settings. They also never made recommendations for social distancing.


Sounds like a complete lack of leadership?

It went into law on August 2, 1939. The law was named for Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. It was most recently amended in 2012.[2]

What as president Trump done to fight COVID-19? This:

1. RESTRICTING TRAVEL FROM IMPACTED AREAS: President Donald J. Trump is taking further action to curb the spread of the coronavirus to the United States from other countries.

President Trump is issuing a proclamation under section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to restrict travel to the United States from foreign nationals who have recently been in certain European countries.

Section 212(f) of the INA only applies to the movement of human beings, not goods or cargo.

The restriction applies to foreign nationals who have been in the Schengen Area, 26 countries in Europe with open borders agreements, in the last 14 days.

Those who are exempt from these restrictions, such as American citizens, will be directed to a limited number of airports where screening can take place.

There is extensive travel back and forth between Europe that heightens the risk here in the United States.

2. LOOKING OUT FOR AMERICAN BUSINESSES AND WORKERS: President Donald J. Trump is committed to protecting American businesses and workers from the impacts of coronavirus.
The President is announcing an economic assistance package to help support businesses and workers who have been harmed by this outbreak.

President Trump has instructed the Small Business Administration (SBA) to exercise available authority to provide loans to businesses affected by the coronavirus.

These loans will help overcome disruptions caused by the coronavirus.

The President is calling on Congress to increase funding for this program by an additional $50 billion.

The President will be instructing the Department of the Treasury to defer tax payments for certain individuals and businesses negatively impacted by the coronavirus.

This action will provide more than $200 billion of additional liquidity to the economy.

President Trump is calling on Congress to immediately pass payroll tax relief.

The President announced that he will soon be taking emergency action to provide financial relief for workers who are ill, quarantined, or caring for others due to the coronavirus.

The President also called on Congress to take action to extend this relief for workers.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

You are correct, I checked it out

Commonsense said...

3. LEADING AN AGGRESSIVE, WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT APPROACH: President Trump has taken unprecedented steps to protect the health of Americans in response to the coronavirus.

The President is leveraging all of our resources to respond to the coronavirus, bringing together government and private industry in a collaborative response.

The Trump Administration declared a public health emergency in January to bolster response efforts.

President Trump took early action to help curb the spread of the virus from other countries to the United States, providing important time for response and preparations.

In January, President Trump acted quickly to restrict travel from foreign nationals traveling from China.

In February, the President restricted travel for individuals recently traveling from Iran.

The Administration put into place mandatory screening for all travelers coming into the country from Italy and South Korea.

Travel advisories for severely impacted areas like Italy and South Korea have been raised to their highest level.

Today, the President directed his Administration to make general-use face masks available to our healthcare workers.

The Administration’s actions will help make millions of general-use respirators available to keep healthcare workers safe and mitigate transmission of the virus.

President Trump signed into law more than $8 billion to fund response efforts.

The Administration has taken bold steps to incentivize the development of therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Working across the public and private sectors, the Trump Administration continues to drastically expand testing capacity.

More than 1 million tests have been distributed nationwide, with another 4 million tests being shipped out by the end of the week.

Testing is now available in every State lab in the country and commercial labs are now deploying tests, which will help generate a dramatic increase in availability.

The Trump Administration has released guidance on how to keep businesses, schools, community gathering places, and families safe.

From the start, President Trump has made keeping the public informed a top priority.

The Administration has announced that health plans with health savings accounts will be able to cover coronavirus testing and treatment without co-payments.

Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates. The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free. Alexander Hamilton
