AMERICA AND COVID-19 TIMELINE


I hate politics.
But, I hate being lied to more than I hate politics.

For those claiming president Trump acted too slow regarding the virus, you can easily google the following facts:

President Trump was ridiculed for proactive decisions.
“Health experts” warned it could cause more harm than good. They claimed quarantine and travel bans were unnecessary and were only promoted by conspiracy theorists and white nationalists:
                1.31.20: Health experts warn China travel ban will hinder coronavirus response
The World Health Organization (WHO) stated proactive measures not necessary:
                2.3.20: WHO chief says widespread travel bans not needed to beat China virus

President Trump showing more concern for the people than the presidency, thrust his golden ticket to the White House on the table. Tanking the economy, feeding fodder to the left, he moved forward with travel bans, quarantines and declared war against the invisible enemy.
At the time of this writing, it’s been about two and a half months since the first case in America, (January 21, 2020). At that time, it wasn’t even sure if the virus spread human to human; first thought only to spread animal to human.
Nevertheless, we’ve gone from nothing to testing over 2.2 million people in less than three months. Almost double what any other nation has done.
With the finesse and professional expertise of the seasoned businessman he is, President Trump engaged the private sector to become allies in this war and deployed the full power of the Federal Government.
To date, hospitals have been built, ships have been sent, mind boggling millions upon millions of personal protective equipment (PPE) have been and are being made. Five-minute tests have been created. Fifty-thousand testing cartridges are being manufactured per-day.  
Hundreds of billions of dollars have been sent to we the people, employees, small businesses.
One of the most powerful actions, in my estimation, was a National Day Of Prayer Proclamation: 
“I ask you to join me in a day of prayer for all people who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and to pray for God’s healing hand to be placed on the people of our Nation.” Donald J Trump, President of the United States of America. 
All of this has happened in in a matter of weeks. Less than three months; from the professional “health experts” and the World Health Organization, saying there’s nothing to be alarmed about, no need for bans or quarantines…to this.
And some spew the idea that the President hasn’t done anything.
I challenge you to go to the source. Listen to President Trump as he stands day after day fielding hidden agenda laden questions. Hour after hour he answers from the hip, unscripted. Listen to his words. See for yourself.
Yesterday, the President included the following words within the first 30 seconds of his opening remarks. “We pray for… We send our love… We're thankful for..." He ended his remarks offering thanks to many, from a grateful nation, including our "amazing sanitation workers, cashiers and clerks..." As he prepared to walk away he said, "I think the people of this country are amazing." Jesus says that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
God must have given him a heart for this nation. Otherwise he wouldn't do it. He'd just take his pretty wife and son and go live happily ever after. Think about it. The job offers him nothing but pain. He doesn't take the pay. He already had the fame. Now he's ridiculed, mocked, hated, slandered and the target of unending, spare-no-expense investigations into every aspect of his life, in an attempt to bring him down by whatever means possible. 
Only a person called by God for such a time as this could endure it.  
As you may know, I write about, the strength of family, the power of prayer, and the battles that rage against them. The first two are fun and enjoyable, the third, the battles, are less enjoyable, but at this time, most necessary.
If it were just politics I wouldn’t care. I wouldn’t mention it. I’d just continue to write about the awesome lessons my grand kids teach me. 
But politics have changed, there’s a proliferation of evil. It’s no longer left versus right; it’s good versus evil. Thus, I'm compelled to battle with pen and prayer...for the strength of, the protection of, the survival of...our family. 
You're forever in my prayers.

I often feel like Trump is the Biblical Job.
Satan Tests Job. 1 There was a man named Job, living in the land of Uz(US), who worshiped God and was faithful to him. He was a good man, careful not to do anything evil. 2 He had seven (3 ) sons and three(two) daughters, 3 and owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, one thousand head of cattle, and five hundred donkeys.(9 hotels and 11 resorts)

This hero of a man has gone through more tests of Congress and has never given up HOPE!
