While the illiberal left was impeaching – Trump was acting. Sadly, the attacks from Trump hating sites like the Huffington Post, are not based on facts but on pure hate. Many of us owe our very lives to the actions such as travel bans to China and Coronavirus hot spots – even lefties at the Puffington Joke, I mean the Huffington Post, may have been saved. But keep it up. You will ensure four more years for Trump and after this panic has subsided, the country will be stronger and the wimps who have been spoiled will have been tested for the first time in their lives.
Here’s a timeline of what Trump and his team were doing to save American lives while Nancy and Schiff were impeaching:

tax cut over coronavirus.

testing.
And every day, Trump and Pence are working on ways to mitigate this pandemic and save American lives. What is the Huffington Post, Nancy Pelosi, or any of the other lefties doing to help save lives? Cuomo and Newsome have better political instincts than many of the Trump haters on the left. But especially for Newsome, I doubt that his actions are little more than politically motivated. Either way, at least some on the left are doing the right thing even if it is for the wrong reasons.
