As a huge Trump supporter, I'll say that he was weak on his corona virus
response. But to his credit, he's still making good on his campaign promises.
That's what sets him apart from the last few presidents in office. And I
can't imagine Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden doing any better than Trump's weak
response.

I can't help but to suspect that Joe Biden wants to cash in on China's scheme
to sell us medical supplies amid the outbreak.

 DS> already here.

Unfortunately, I think either Trump or whoever calls these shots, has screwed
that up too. As far as I know, international travel is still open and
allowed, except for a few specific countries like China, UK, and Brazil. We
obviously can't stop illegal international travel, but my buddies aren't
stopping legal international travel either, despite having a good reason to
do so.

So we've still got people coming from many parts of the world coming to NY to
snap photos of the statue of liberty, and we've got stubborn Americans who
think they're immune to the virus, taking trips to Cancun, or wherever else
they wanna go.

Does the president have the power to shut it all down? Or would that
necessitate a house vote?
