This is why trump is a failure of a president

should have been prepping this for weeks instead of calling this a hoax (which he literally did)

Lawmakers in Congress are expressing outrage and confusion as to why the United States is not testing individuals for the COVID-19 coronavirus at as fast a pace as other countries, following a closed-door briefing with administration officials who failed to explain the discrepancy.

Several members emerged from an all-members House briefing Thursday morning saying they were told the government is working around the clock to make tests, but the US system is trying to catch up to other countries like South Korea.
Members were exasperated with what they said was a lack of clarity in the officials' answers, as lawmakers struggle to understand how the US has been so far outpaced by other countries grappling with the pandemic.

For the sake of clarity Im going to point out that he called the criticism of his reaction a hoax, but did not call the virus itself a hoax.

I know you know that TC, but I felt it was important to point that out for people who arent as informed as you and I.

While hyperliterally true the point is still valid that he was downplaying it.

He said wasnt as bad as the flu and rallied against the media talking about it

They already are supporting him. It's his cult that worries me.

Who would have thought that giving a fucking unqualified grifter the white house and then letting him fill the Government with his equally unqualified cronies would lead to disaster?

How was I trolling in either topic? Unless of course you consider pointing out false statements and correcting faulty logic to be trolling.

Because I feel it is important to defend those who are critical of trump from people like you, who put forth flawed and easily disproven statements. You are hurting the side you think you are helping.

I criticized trumps handling of this situation in this very topic.

Frankly, I thought I was being more diplomatic than was necessary when I pointed out your false statement, but I guess you took that as sarcasm. Im starting to think now that you actually did think Trump literally called the virus itself a hoax.

Funny how anyone critisizing Trump is very easily (if not automatically) labeled as a liberal...

EDIT: Looks like the message that spurred my comment has been deleted. Oh well...

I misrepresented what I was trying to say (which is why I deleted, hadn't seen your post) but I get your point. I'm a liberal, I just forget that even on here not everyone that criticizes Trump is a liberal.

Then by that logic, real men are pixies.
