    Why we should be glad to have Donald Trump as our CIC instead of Hillary Clinton

    I have been watching the president's press briefings during this crisis. I noticed that our president has displayed a strong reluctance to exercise or expand federal power. When questioned about national quarantine, or stopping all flights he has been reluctant. A lot of times his answer to questions is that it is up to the governors of individual states to make decisions. He has made statements that he believes the federal government is there to support the states not control them. He has even been reluctant to use federal powers under the defense production act unless absolutely necessary. He finally came out and said it during the briefing today; it is because of our constitution and his respect for it.

    One of my first thoughts when it became clear that this was a national crisis was that we were going to see a federal power grab like we did after 9/11. I am sure that is what we would see if Hillary were sitting in the Whitehouse. She would have seized every possible opportunity to expand the power and scope of the federal government. I feel like this is what we experienced under Bill Clinton during the 90's, an erosion of the independence of the states. The DHS even recently said that gun stores and manufacturers were critical businesses, there is no way that would have happened under a dem.

    Can't argue with any of that.

    I admire the man because he knew the shit he was getting into and he did it anyway, and he hasn't given up on the wonderfulness of America (something a lot of folks had started to do before he jumped in)

    I don't know how we pulled this off but we better stay vigilant an keep him in office

    Some reporter asked him why he hasn't issued a national lock down, He said, because we have a thing called the constitution, yeah, never hear that from the "professional politicians"

    As bad as things are right now, with a democrat/communist in the Oval Office it would be 10x worse.

    Thank the lord for President Trump.

    Actually, we're still dodging the collateral damage from her loss, unleashed by her Faux Media sycophants and the Commucrat Party.

    But, I'd rather deal with the collateral fallout than having to deal with the alternative.

    This may be over the edge? But the Democrats have used this Moronvirus scare to shut down the booming economy. The Left had nothing to offer for next November's elections. With the U.S. unemployment and the destroyed job market the Liberals are dancing all night. President Trump will become very unpopular with the home and business foreclosures this Summer. We can only hope that "Big Don T" can kill all those Marxist snakes before the election.

    The only good side to the upcoming economic hit is that Trump had it so high that a lot will sustain itself for a little while longer. I also think we will see that rare instance when most people see through the news media garbage and realize that Trump did a very good job considering all the walls put up by the media and that other party.

    There's be un troops going door to door for guns and such by now if the admin was dem. You can almost see them drooling at the crisis they missed the opportunity to exploit.
