I left in absolutely no doubt about China’s commitment to transparency, and to protecting the world’s people."

Jan 31- Trump bans anybody who has traveled to China in the previous 14 days, except for US citizens returning home. Joe Biden states “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”

So...given the above facts, when should Trump have pushed the panic button?

The Dems seem to think they have a smoking gun with the Woodward tapes. Should Trump have pushed the panic button even before the doctors told him to?

And why on earth would Trump ever be caught dead talking to Bob Woodward (or any of the leftist legacy media) about anything?

Lindsey Graham set the whole thing up with Trump and Woodward and suggested he talk to Woodward. Think about that.

What do you make of it?

Conservatives talk to liberal media types all the time. I've seen Trump do MSNBC, Bill Barr do CNN, and several others. If they didn't, the left would claim they are hiding something. On thing you DON'T see is Pelosi, Schumer, or Biden go on Fox News. They can't handle non-scripted questions.

Why on earth would Trump trust/listen to that piece of shit?

Hard to say. Graham is a fraud. He is the swamp. He's one of the most powerful people in the country and what has he done to combat all the leftist and political corruption the past 4 yrs....NOT A DAMN THING. He knew Woodward would put out this leftist propaganda against Trump and likely right before the election. Trump doesn't care about republican politicians and cares even less for the democrats. That's why they all hate him. Lindsey Graham only does what he thinks will help him get re-elected. He smoozes up to Trump now but look at what he was saying about Trump before the election in 2016. If I was Trump I would have never let him in the white house.

Thomas Dairy to close Oct. 1

“The financial impact we have endured as a result of the COVID shutdown has proven to be formidable, and ultimately insurmountable,” Thomas Dairy stated. “The substantial loss of business from colleges, restaurants and tourism has hit us hard, and we’ve been operating with a negative cash flow since March.”
