President Trump Admits He Lied To Americans About COVID-19

[Uranti]

Gee that must be why Trump closed down travel from China and declared a public health emergency on January 31st, you know because he was trying to keep this a secret.

It's like you guys have no clue at all what Trump was doing all this time. Probably because you get your "news" from CNN.

He acknowledged the virus as existing but not as a threat people should be concerned over. He consistently presented the problem publicly as something minimal countermeasures could deal with. Because he presented the issue this way, many Americans didn't take safeguards they would have taken had he simply said what he said in the Woodward interview to everyone.

I don't know what Trump was doing in February-March other than saying the virus would just disappear, like a miracle or whatnot. What did he do during those months?

[Seizer]

Parkbandit. You're an idiot. Even retard of the generation, which you seemingly are, realizes Trump has 20,000 documented lies. You have an aversion to facts like most of your cohorts. I know you like to label people cause you're racist, but can you post 20,000 lies from any of your enemies on this forum? We don't have that combined in our lifetime.

52 days man. You can't get out of your own way.

Jabroni, do you ever change your schtick?

He acknowledged the virus as existing but not as a threat people should be concerned over.

Is that why he shut down travel from China and declared a public health emergency? Because he thought people shouldn't take it seriously?

It's worse than that even. Whenever other people tried to speak the truth- he attacked them. He pulled us out of the WHO because they **correctly** identified COVID as a pandemic. When places like Michigan were enforcing social distancing, he was inciting people to riot (in groups without masks on, I might add). He was encouraging people NOT to wear masks, and he was pressuring Republican Governors to refrain from implementing policies to protect their residents. (Several of them took cues from him and literally prevented cities from enacting these protections). And he was blaming Democrats for the whole thing (because apparently Democrats control the entire rest of the world).

Oh yeah and the entire time he had the DoJ in Court fighting to take away health care from tens of millions of people. Because apparently what Trump really wants to be is a cartoon villain.

And according to Politico's reporting today- the White House has been interfering with CDC reports since at least early Summer, trying to force them to release misleading and inaccurate information about the severity of the problem.

And he did all of this while he watched 200,000 Americans die. A shame they weren't embryos, because then conservatives might actually care.


So for the conservative posse here- out of curiosity, do other people also get to intentionally trick hundreds of millions of people into doing things that put themselves, their families, and their communities at SEVERE risk- while watching them die by the truckload? Or is that just some special privilege Trump gets? Because if you can't justify other people doing this, then you sure as hell shouldn't be justifying him doing it.

He took those steps and said the situation was handled soon after. People might have taken those steps as a warning if he didn’t prematurely declare mission accomplished.

February 10

“I think the virus is going to be—it’s going to be fine.”

February 10

“Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

February 24

“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 25

“CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”

February 25

“I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

February 26

“The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

February 26

“We're going very substantially down, not up.”

"The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple days is going to be down to close to zero" Seems like a clear statement saying people shouldn’t take this seriously.

So none of that is lying about the lethality of the virus. I feel like this is the major disconnect with Democrats on this issue. Well not really a "disconnect" since they know full well what they are doing, their TDS just can't help it.

How is anything you just said translate to Trump either lying about how deadly the virus was or trying to cover it up? Simple answer: it's not. Trump said a long time ago (in public even!) that he was trying not to cause a panic, unlike what the Democrats were doing and have been doing this entire time.

People were already literally getting into fist fights and knife fights over fucking toilet paper, how much worse would it have been if the president were telling everyone they were going to die like the Democrats wanted him to say? Let's face it the Democrats wouldn't give Trump any points even if he had said that, they would then be sitting here discussing another "bombshell" pointing out that Trump should have known the virus wasn't going to be as bad as he hyped it up to be and that he caused undue panic and unrest and confusion. I don't know why you guys even pretend to act like the left is being even remotely honest with anything when it comes to Trump.

Democrats have a very simple program embedded in their brain:

if trump_said_it
	put "yell ORANGE MAN BAD!"
elsif democrat_said_it
	put "yell Smartest thing I've ever heard!"
end

(15 -> 0 ) is so ridiculously optimistic it might as well be a lie. Alleviating panic doesn't justify this. Theoretical Democratic bitching doesn't justify Trump not acting. Hasn't stopped him ever before so it's not an excuse now.

It's amusing to me that you're such an extremist that it's either:
Option A: Lie about it and say it isn't anything to worry about, putting more people at risk than was necessary.
Option B: Tell everyone they are going to die.

How about Option C (or many different variations of this), based in reality: Hey, this virus is more deadly than the flu, especially to older people. It's really easy to spread, even when people are asymptomatic. We should encourage any preventive measures to keep our citizens safe. That includes wearing a mask, washing your hands regularly, and avoiding unnecessary exposure.

Then, imagine if he had led by that example too instead of "hoax this and hoax that, they just don't want me to be president, cry cry cry." There'd be a whole different narrative at play. But, we shouldn't expect better from a narcissistic and juvenile compulsive liar.

If you were born in the middle east, you'd be a terrorist you little extremist you.

Gee almost as if he did exactly that when he asked the entire country to stay at home for 2 weeks (then 4 more weeks) and urged Americans to wash their hands frequently, suggested to people they could wear a mask if they wanted to (and even provided alternative options if they didn't have a mask such as wrapping a scarf around their face a couple of times), asked people to avoid crowds, and warned older Americans to be especially careful with preventative measures. He also had daily press briefings for weeks where he and his experts answered questions so the American people could be informed, even though the media turned that into a circus too where they just wanted to get Trump in a "gotcha!" moment.

Honestly were any of you fuckers paying attention to what Trump was doing and saying the past several months? Or are you all finally admitting once and for all your "news" consists solely of Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow? Just be honest for the first time in your lives, it's a simple request from me.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. I even received a postcard from Mike Pence during his "Two weeks to slow the spread" campaign (which many Democrats then turned into 5+ months to find a cure) which explained everything that is going on with the virus, encouraged my family to wash our hands frequently, avoid large gatherings, and for elderly and sick people to isolate themselves, and if we feel sick we should isolate ourselves for 2 weeks.

Like what more do you people want? You just keep repeating the same tired bullshit over and over again no matter how many facts I throw your way to disprove your lame ass arguments. Pull your heads out of your asses already. The president of the US isn't there to fucking hold your hand and tell you to act like a fucking adult and take some damn personal responsibility.
