Ilhan Omar changes her tune: calls Trump's response to pandemic "incredible"

The seas have parted, the sun is out, birds are singing and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said that President Trump's response to the Wuhan virus pandemic was "incredible and the right response in this critical time."

The question is: what does she have up her hijab?

It was just yesterday I posted how she attacked Ivanka Trump for a positive tweet the President's daughter posted about family time during this crisis. Omar caught a lot of flak for her mean-spirited sentiment and it's possible she actually read the responses of folks on both sides of the aisle. People aren't just sick from the Wuhan virus, they're sick of the politics.

Omar quoted her BFF Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) who said that "unprecedented times require unprecedented leadership," and she added, "we are seeing that in our country right now."

Well, holy sick, Batman, that is unprecedented of Omar to sing the praises of the Trump administration.

Omar then concluded: "Finally, we should never let politics get in the way of good policy. This is a great start and hope others will be part of a united front to push for good policies that will help us work through the economic anxiety the country is feeling right now."

The Somalia-born, anti-Semitic, adulteress who allegedly also married her own brother, said those words in response to The Intercept's Lee Fang who tweeted:

"Trump suspending mortgage foreclosures, demanding cash payments to Americans, now invoking the Defense Production Act to force private firms to produce needed supplies is incredible. Kind of a shell shock for anyone who reported on any economic policies in the Obama years."

Other Democrats and leftist pundits also praised President Trump over how his administration is handling the crisis. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose state so far has been hardest hit told reporters on Tuesday, "His team is on it. They've been responsive," adding, "I want to say thank you."

Even CNN's Dana Bash said that Trump's new tone on the Wuhan coronavirus made him the "kind of leader that people need." The people on the panel to whom she spoke looked like they had just swallowed fresh lemons.

It's beginning to look as if the left is afraid of attacking Trump at this time because the public, in general, doesn't want to hear it. Imagine if you will, Rosie O'Donnell praising the job that Trump is doing. That's when you know we're in trouble as a planet.

On Wednesday, Trump invoked rarely used emergency powers to marshal critical medical supplies against the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. He used his authority under the Defense Production Act to give the government more power to steer production by private companies and attempt to overcome shortages in masks, ventilators and other supplies. 

That's good old capitalism at work folks.

The president also signed an aid package — which the Senate approved in record time earlier Wednesday — this temporary measure guarantees sick leave to workers who fall ill.

The Canada-U.S. border, the world's longest, was effectively closed eh, but essential travel and commerce will continue. Relief checks will be distributed to the those who need the relief and others who don't but will claim they do.

Trump plans to expand the nation's diagnostic testing capacity and deploy a Navy hospital ship to New York City, which is rapidly becoming an epicenter of the pandemic and cases have doubled overnight. Another such ship will be deployed to the West Coast. 

The Housing and Urban Development Department will suspend foreclosures and evictions through April to help the growing number of Americans who face losing jobs and missing rent and mortgage payments.

Currently, the stock market has taken a steep nosedive, so now is a good time to consider buying in.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed a second Wuhan coronavirus response bill, which Trump signed Wednesday night. The vote was a lopsided 90-8 despite concerns by many Republicans about a temporary new employer mandate to provide sick leave to workers who get COVID-19. The measure is also aimed at making tests for the virus-free.

Trump asked that hospitals cancel all elective surgeries to reduce the risk of being overwhelmed by new cases. He was also asked by the media as to why a number of celebrities, like pro athletes, seem to have easier access to diagnostic tests than ordinary citizens. His reply was somewhat weak: “Perhaps that's the story of life. I've heard that happens on occasion.”

Meanwhile, the administration pushed forward its broad economic rescue plan, which proposes $500 billion in checks to millions of Americans, with the first checks to come April 6 if Congress approves.

President Trump recently tested negative for the coronavirus but several senators have tested positive.
