    Can Trump be considered a "Wartime" President ? ...

    What with the Chinaflu forcing States to close businesses, order
    people to lock themselves in their homes and causing chaos in
    general - plus widespread looting, rioting and arson in notably
    democrat run Cities. If you include the growing military threat
    posed by China, then the combination of the above could easily
    be termed a National crisis, and as such, stability in government
    would be a great plus. Changing Horses midstream is an old but
    common sense caution, so too perhaps would be the changing of
    a President in the midst of a war like scenario.
    One drawback to this idea is that the present day voter is nowhere
    near as smart as was the voter who chose to stay with FDR in 44.

    If the Iranians try to kill him it'll be wartime.

      He gave himself that title, then decided to blow cold on the idea of a coherent Federal effort on Covid-19. To much work. So if he's a wartime President he's a sh*tty one because the virus is having it's way with the country, and the people themselves are confused about what to do. He sucks and needs to go. His incompetence leads to death.

      Added: in wartime, DT, it's common to discover that the peacetime leaders (say generals) aren't up to the job, and they get sacked and fighters are brought in. True of the United States Army in the American Civil War, true of the British Western Desert Force in whichever world war was AFTER the 1918 flu pandemic.

        Then they're idiots. It's impossible to watch TV for half an hour without being told exactly "what to do," according to Fauci & all the other fear-mongers. What MORE do they need to hear? Tell me ONE THING Trump could say about the precautions those who worry about it should take (not me) that hasn't already been said a billion times.

            Don't forget the hispanic invasion from the South and the Chinese (and others) invasion from the North. Add that to the Wuhan lab screw up funded by the obama administration and yes, Trump should be considered a wartime president.

            Now we are practically on the verge of a civil war in our major cities caused by the BLM terrorist and the anti-GOP/Trump/constitution news media as well.

                Ray it's called Leadership. Trump is not shy about using the bully pulpit on sports leagues, democratic governors, mayors, corporations. He could tell the base "come on people, we gotta take this seriously." But when his own administration chooses to focus on the economy instead of the virus, they miss the fact that they have it backwards. Virus first, THEN economy!!!!!!! Because if the virus is running loose, stuff can't stay open!!!!!!!!!

                Covid-19 is the perfect foil for the ADHD President. It doesn't think, can't be distracted, does one thing extraordinarily well, and if you lose concentration, as Trump always does, it takes advantage.

                Absolutely yes Trump's Federal Government filed from the first days. A botched CDC test, CBP letting in all of those sick people from Europe, Trump downplaying the whole thing through March, it's all in the record. It's a tough fight, but he failed badly AND CONTINUES TO FAIL EVERY DAY!!

                    Everyone knows true leadership will come from Joe Biden who doesn't know who he is, what he is, what he's saying and needs his wife to nudge him when his speeches are over.

                      The problem is that millions of people who don't care will vote for him because he's a democrat..
