Acting "Presidential" - What does it mean?

Roxiebelle · 2020-03-14T16:39:05.366Z

YES there have been Presidents dating back to the founding of the country that play the “presidential” blame game against previous Presidents and BIG government bureaucracy!

There is a lot of justifiable blame on Obama & the CDC under his Administration for the H1N1 Swine flu pandemic of 2009/2010 that took more then 14,000 American lives. You can bet that’s not going to happen with covid 19 virus under the Trump administration who has acted quickly with extraordinary, although inconvenient, measures to stem this pandemic impact on the American people.

Now that’s what I call being “presidential”!

So before Trump declared his National Emergency, he blamed Obama and the CDC for their mistakes. It was their fault that things had come to this pass.

Now maybe that’s so. It wasn’t, but let’s say that it’s so.

In a public address to the entire country, is criticizing past Presidents and his own beauracracy something he should have done?

Is blaming others first, before trying to calm the nation, “acting Presidential.”

Has there ever been a President before, at least since after WW2, who did this?

Biden blamed Trump.

screw “presidential”

results matter now, and calling out what should be called out. like the idiot media

Okay, results.

Yesterday, Donald Trump described a national testing system that would be fully implemented on Sunday. Today, health officials are saying two more weeks before it is rolled out.

That’s one big old failure there. And not the first time Trump has misled the public about the availability of essential testing.

Imagine the poutrage if Obama had given a televised press conference in a baseball cap.

This…all one needs to know. It blindsided us.

Per trump’s tweet from 2013, he should be blamed.

Problem is, it wasn’t Obama’s fault and it wasn’t the CDCs fault either. It was Trump who fired the pandemic response team two years ago.

It was Trump who kept saying, “Oh, it’s just the flu, just go to work and don’t worry about.”

Now he’s blaming others?

did trump actually say that?

Hexenbiest · 2020-03-14T17:34:21.790Z

It means not being a republican. The republican president before Trump was cast as a mental retard.

When you tell people something is going to get done by a certain time but it is not going to be done at that time, that is misleading.

Clear enough for you?

There is actually very little to blame when you look at the spread of that virus in the US compared to the spread in other advanced countries, i.e. Europe.

The only difference is that those countries aren’t filled with a bunch of finger pointers who saw this as a political opportunity.

WuWei · 2020-03-14T18:29:58.892Z

Acting Presidential I believe means being fake. Behaving in a manner that appeals to the mob and doesn’t upset the cart. A stick up the ass.

Do I wish Trump had better manners? Sure.

Biden is not better.

The interesting thing is libs claim Trump has a temper. And will vote for Biden, who has rage issues.
