I saw the Democrats trying to say that President Trump was overreacting by stopping people from coming to the US from China. Now they say that he did not do enough to protect Americans. You can't have it both ways.You are wrong. The Titanic was poorly designed. The rudder was too small and the riveted hull was not done well. Making the Titanic go so fast in waters that could have icebergs was irresponsible and so was not having binoculars for the lookouts.
All ships were riveted at that point in history. The other things you mentioned- going to fast and not having lookouts... that was on the captain...
President Trump did what was best for all Americans. There is no comparison here.
Well, no, doing what was best was to impose the kind of social distancing and testing measures other countries implemented early on. Trump didn't want to do that. It might spook the markets. He called it a hoax. He told people we had it under control when we didn't. if you want to use the Titanic analogy, he saw the Iceberg, aimed the ship right for it and put on full speed.
