Editor,

To Michael Oberg’s six points regarding Trump’s failed leadership in a crisis like the coronavirus pandemic (San Mateo Daily Journal, May 12), I would like to add the following:

More fake news from TDS-afflicted Jorg. Hopefully, we'll find a cure for COVID, but I don't think there's a cure for TDS.

Terence: I like your TDS reminder (Trumpy Debunked Soon), but besides Hillary's e-mails, what don't you grasp about Oberg's and my points re. Trump's mind-boggling leadership failure?

Jorg, maybe you should spend less time with JUNC (Jorg's Uneducated Nonsense Creation) comments and work on acronyms. This effort was pretty weak but I have faith you can do better.

Jorg, et.al. - There are some universal truths that never seem to go away. i.e. "The empty wagons rattle the most." They'll be here long after the virus, only with a new target.

We are most blessed to have Pres. Trump at this time.

Jorg May 22, 2020 8:23am

"Blessed"? Ask those who foolishly have followed Trump's Corona advice! The fact that Trump’s medical “advice” regarding the Corona virus has shown disastrous, deadly results, should come as no surprise to anyone, not even his most naïve supporters. Since when has any of his insane ideas had a positive outcome?

Another JUNC (Jorg's Umpteenth Nonsense Comment) entry. Jorg, tell that to the 2 million plus folks saved from dying and to the 22 million plus people in CA saved from infection due to Trump’s actions. Your hero, Let them eat cake Pelosi, was still telling people to visit Chinatown a month after Trump shut down travel from China. If you want someone to blame, start with Nancy Antoinette. Yes, we are blessed to have our great President Trump in office.

Meanwhile, The "Stable Genius" Trump is taking hydroxychloroquine as a "preventive." This is contrary to advice from his own FDA, The AMA, and practically every medical expert. He says, "what have you got to lose?" Not something we should hear a president say. He has also fired 4 Inspectors General in 6 weeks. The most recent one was set to investigate Pompeo on the Saudi arms deal. Seems like there's a lot Trump doesn't want us to know.

GT,

You must be mistaken. Something Trump doesn't want us to know? From the President with the most transparent administration ever?

As Nero fiddles while the country burns: In interviews with CNN, CDC officials say their agency's efforts to mount a coordinated response to the Covid-19 pandemic have been hamstrung by a White House whose decisions are driven by politics rather than science.

Long Live Obamagate!

Jorg May 19, 2020 7:07am

Indeed, Terence! In sharp competition, Obamagate will go down in history as one of Trump’s most ridiculous ideas! Not even AG Bill Barr wants to touch it! Y?

Jorg May 22, 2020 9:14am

Now that Trump’s medical “advice” for Corona has been proven to be so detrimental, and even deadly, one has to ask whether people dumb enough to follow this snake oil salesman’s insane ideas, deserve to die? That raises another interesting question: Did he really take it himself, or did he lie, - as usual?
