I don't know if you are deliberately being deceptive, or like playing games. The obvious point I was making is that Democrats are already crucifying Trump for supposedly not doing enough to prevent the spread of this virus.
The video I showed you was Obama doing very little and telling the people to be calm. He was not crucified for just giving it lip service. He got a free pass, but no matter what Trump does, the Left uses it to attack him.
If you do not see the hypocrisy, then I have better things to do.

"Trump is the worst president we have ever suffered as a nation"
or
"I can't wait for Trump to be out of office so that we can fix all the damage he caused to this country"
or
"Trump caused the worst market crash in US history, this all could have been avoided if he was rightfully impeached"
I must have accidentally wandered into Trumpistan where saying anything against the lord and savior Donald J. Trump is a crime worthy of execution.[/end sarcasm]
Everyone had their chance to criticize Obama when he was in office. There is no double standard here, just a missed opportunity, and it isn't a missed opportunity anyways because Obama's message didn't cause the stock market to plunge!
I'm sorry, but if you don't understand why that message is just the most terrible thing for a leader to say, you can read the dialogue between me an MayCaesar. If you still don't get it, I can't help you.

Maybe you would argue it was coincidence, but immediately after that speech, the dow dropped like a rock, over 1,000 points.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8102959/Donald-Trump-forced-immediately-correct-statement-Europe-trade-ban.html
I would also like to nit-pick your statement "Originally Trump didnt do enough, now hes done too much" Because both of these things can be true if the subject is changing, which in this case is the case.
For example, firing the pandemic response team before the outbreak is both not doing enough and doing to much. This is because he is not doing enough to help, and he is doing to much to hurt. Even if the Dow initially dropping isn't really his fault, which is dubious, he didn't do anything to make it better, in particular say all the nice things that leaders are supposed to say to restore confidence in their people, and that lead to markets sliding further. In other words, we f***ed up hard.

Also again if you look at the way hes actually handled the situation, its been a step ahead of most other countries.

I can't think of a single reason why 70,000 people dying from the flu should be considered a logical reason to not get worried, if anything that is a good reason for us to shut down everything seasonally.
Closing border is a dumb idea, it doesn't help because the virus is already here, it shuts down trade that makes the stock market crash further.
You kind of go back on yourself here, at first you say that you don't trust when the government is telling you to stay calm and that makes you think they are hiding something, but then it seems you don't hold that same standard for Trump. Isn't that a bit of a double standard if indeed this is your stance?

Closing the border prevents the virus from spreading to new areas, and from spreading much quicker. The same reason they limit crowd size. It may not necessarily limit number of cases but it prevents a rapid rise. When you have a rapid rise its a lot harder to deal with a medical care/testing is limited. Also gives more time for a vaccine or cure to be produced.
It wasnt a double standard because what i was refering to was that trump was providing stats also has provided details on the counter measures they are taking. Details make me feel better than stay calm we are doing what we can, which generally of crap what are we going to do?

If we take your same reasoning from the before, which is that we don't overreact during the normal flu season, then couldn't we conclude that because we don't normally shut down the boarders during flu season that we shouldn't do it now?
What I am saying when I assert that there is a double standard is that you will not put trust in the government's words, but you will put trust in Trump's words. Suppose there was someone who had the opposite position as you, that is to say they trusted what government officials said, and not what Trump said assuming that whenever he says anything he is hiding something. Wouldn't this make them have the opposite reaction to Trump's "stay calm everything is good", roughly equivalent to your reaction when government officials say the same thing?

In trust its not that im claiming that i believe Obama was straight up lying while all trumps quotes are true. What im saying is I have better reason to believe when details are given about how things are being delt with rather than just stay calm. For example, when asked about how bernie would pay for Medicare for all or for how trump would get mexico to pay for it, often little detail is given, that leads me to question what they are saying. If trump says ive been working not only with governement officials, but private medical entities and weve come up with a vaccine in 8 weeks, that has produced 93% positivity rating, that has detail to make me believe we are on the right track.

As for a vaccine in 8 weeks, I wouldn't count on that. If everything goes perfectly, it could still be months before a vaccine is developed, tested, manufactured, and distributed. I am no virologist, but just from what I know about how vaccines work, there are numerous hurdles to developing a cure, including multiple strains, packaged proteins, and likelihood of mutation. Sometimes these things can actually be a benefit, for example if one of the proteins contained within the virus allows for some exploit a cure may be developed based on that.
The next phase is the bureaucracy surrounding the issue, it means nothing if a vaccine is developed that is ineffective or has some unsavory side effects, so while many requirements are already relaxed, it is still important that records be kept and careful attention is made to properly test the vaccine, both in animals and humans, for effectiveness and safety. For example, let's say the effects of the vaccine ware off after a month. First off, this testing takes a month at minimum to test, which just by itself can raise the time significantly. For a virus like covid-19 which has a long incubation period (the time when someone is infected and can infect others prior to showing symptoms) this matter is further complicated, because it will already take a minimum 2 weeks after the test to ensure that no reinfection has occurred. This means that if we start animal testing today, at a minimum we will have to wait 2 weeks just to know if the initial vaccine was effective, plus the time we want to wait to see if the vaccine remains effective, plus another two weeks after that just to check for symptoms. Then we have to repeat all of this in humans, doubling the time again. This means that a minimum 8 weeks is required just for bureaucracy if we cut out the wait period to 0, and attempt reinfection after 2 weeks. This is just assuming nothing goes wrong and the scientists don't have to start over.
Then manufacturing can start. We can assume that the facilities will be ready to go as soon as the testing phase is complete, but this just means that manufacture can start and will still be limited by the production capacity of the actual factory. According to the CDC and looking at historical records, it takes about 6 months to produce large quantities of the vaccine for the seasonal flu.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccine-selection.htm
Obviously, the vaccine doesn't have to reach 100% of the US population, just those who are most at risk meaning the elderly and those with compromised immunity. So if we just focus on citizens aged 50+, that is just over a third (34%) of the US population. This means we need about 111.25 million vaccines, and we can assume these are distributed in an intelligent way. (those most needing first) Predicting what the actual capability would be is difficult, but needless to say that getting and distributing this many vaccines is not going to happen in 8 weeks.
All of this is just a long winded way of saying the devil is in the details, and even so trusting Trump isn't a good bet.

I didnt say the vaccine was complete, i said that had trials with a drug in 8 weeks that had a 93% positivity rating. One of things trump is good at doing is eliminating unneeded bureaucracy and red tape.

at 15:30 she says: "...the last report we have seen from the laboratories have a 7 plus percent positive rate still 93 percent or 92 percent are negative..."
If this is what you mean then what is meant is just that 93% of people in high priority areas tested negative for the virus, which means the spread is still limited.

Group A: "Democrats will praise Obama for almost everything and vilify Trump for almost everything."
Group B: "Republicans will praise Trump for almost everything and vilify Obama for almost everything."
You do realise, guys, that these two are not mutually exclusive? One would have to be blind to not realise the presence of strong bias in major political parties towards supporting their elects and vilifying their opponents' elects.
It is clear that Trump will have to try extremely hard to hear a good word said about him on CNN, but by the same token Obama had to try extremely hard to hear a good word said about him on Fox News. In the face of this state of affairs, I find the discussion on whether Trump is being criticised by his opponents justly or not somewhat irrelevant: he is going to be criticised by them no matter what, so what does it matter if the criticism is justified, when the source of this criticism is tribalism?
