Am I the only one who thinks what Trump said to Woodward is the right thing to say?

I don’t get the outrage.
Trump was trying to calm the fears. It’s like a sinking boat captain trying to calm the passengers and avoid mass hysteria. That’s what leaders do.

I think this should help Trump.

We had hundreds of thousands literally buying stock piles of hand sanitizer and toilet paper during that time.

I don't blame him

Don't you get it? If Obama had said the same thing, they'd be giving him the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping mass panic. Trump says it and he's murdering tens of thousands.

Meh. I don’t need the gov to protect me from the truth. I don’t need to be infantilized

So, I think it is wrong. But, no big deal at all. Minimal wrong.

It will also mean nothing insofar as voting. The haters will fake outrage. The rest of us will yawn.

It was what a true leader does. No surprise the media and liberals can’t comprehend it. That’s why they hang out on college campuses trying to get tenured or work in the media.

Dumbest thing I’ve heard since I heard trump agreed to do 18 interviews with Woodward and have them taped.

Obama would have lauded as a strong leader, calm, cool and reassuring.

Totally agree. Dems have to try to turn everyfrickinthing Trump does into something nefarious. Biden’s faux outrage just makes me sick.

No. You’re not. It was the right move, regardless of what the sky screamers are going to say.

The left wishes he would have come out and created more panic. We would still be in a full blown shut down.

It is so Hillary could feign outrage. It is stupid and I agree with you.

At the time they were saying millions would die. Trump had to do as they said and play the game. Announcing millions would die was stupid.

Then it turned out to be 6 percent of what 100,000?

no.

I was saying it back in March.

Trump standing at the podium screaming "we're all gonna die" would have done far more harm than good.

His calm, reassuring voice was what was needed. His actions protected the country.

You are not alone.

He leads too much...he doesn’t lead...he’s too nice to Russia...he’s too mean to Mexico...he’s a disgusting billionaire...he bankrupted 100 companies and he’s actually broke

The sooner you realize that they will always take the opposite side of everything Trump does and say how terrible it is, the sooner you stop caring what they say.

Just pull the lever in November and watch the USA turn a beautiful Red...maybe for the last time ever.

I would much rather it be downplayed. It’s was crazy over damn toilet paper. Can you imagine if he had said this shite is scary and could kill millions.

If he had said “I want to keep the country positive” instead of “I want to downplay it” this wouldn’t be a story. It means the same thing but since CNNs attacks on Trump are 99% mind reading and phrase parsing this is a story.
