You're missing the whole partisanship angle. Democrats hate Trump's response, Republicans love it. If Obama had done the same thing, provided the same response to H1N1, Democrats would have loved it, Republicans hated it.

It's all about the R and the D behind the name. Not the response. It's all about who proposes something, anything proposed by Republicans is automatically opposed by Democrats and vice versa. Anything proposed by democrats is automatically opposed by Republicans.

Such is the nature of the political era we have entered today. Polarization, ultra high partisanship and divisiveness.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
