  1. Coming up @00:4:00 mark, Sam says that anyone taking cues from Trump is dangerously out of context with reality. While I agree that Trump could be doing a better job on this, as the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, if he was to say what SAM IS SAYING here, we would have a massive panic on our hands. Trump cannot hold a press conference and say.... "avoid all social gatherings, don't go to school and avoid all human contact" as this nation would freak out!. The stock market would do into a total dive and the economy would tank and other nations would follow suit. We would have not only a global health concern, but a global economic crisis as well. ANY president who did the above is going to be a punching bag by 1/2 the population of this world, regardless of how they felt about him or one day, her.... prior to such a health crisis. I don't have all the answers and I certainly wish Trump would just shut the hell up and let his heath administration people handle everything. I wish he would just wait until advised by people who are in the business of public heath prior to saying anything. That being said, a president, no matter the party, will always have a difficult time with a world-wide viral outbreak, such as we have today.
