Current Events > So why do some people say Trump is behind some the problems of the Coronavirus?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think our mayor of SF Ms. London Breed should take more of the blame than him

Shes corrupt as hell and its obvious shes embezzling the money Trump is giving San Francisco to aid us during this epidemic

---

He disbanded the pandemic response team for no reason other than "black man bad".
---

He also greatly contributed to the population not taking it seriously by downplaying the seriousness of it, if not outright lying about it.

---

He not only responded to the problem incredibly late, he called it a fucking hoax lmao dude bungled this whole thing

This has been posted a lot lately. It's a history of him talking about CV.

January 22: We have it totally under control. Its one person coming in from China. Its going to be just fine.

February 2: Well, we pretty much shut it down coming in from China. We cant have thousands of people coming in who may have this problem, the coronavirus. So were gonna see what happens, but we did shut it down, yes.

February 14: We have a very small number of people in the country, right now, with it. Its like around 12. Many of them are getting better. Some are fully recovered already. So were in very good shape.

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 thats going to go away They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, were 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.

February 27: One day its like a miracle, it will disappear.

February 28: We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.

February 28: Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that, right? Coronavirus, theyre politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, Hows President Trump doing? They go, Oh, not good, not good. They have no clue. They dont have any clue. They cant even count their votes in Iowa. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. Theyd been doing it since you got in. Its all turning. They lost. Its all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.

March 2: You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?

March 2: A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and theyre happening very rapidly.

March 4: If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work some of them go to work, but they get better.

March 5: I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.

March 5: The United States has, as of now, only 129 cases and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!

March 6: I think were doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down a tremendous job at keeping it down.

March 6: Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. Theyre there. And the tests are beautiful. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.

March 6: "You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT. He taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius. Dr. John Trump. I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this? ' Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president."

March 6: I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.

March 8: We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.

March 9: This blindsided the world.

March 9: "The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant.

March 9: So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

March 10: "It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away."

March 13: National Emergency Declaration

March 13: I don't take responsibility at all

March 13: "For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further"

March 14: "SOCIAL DISTANCING!"

March 15: "TODAY IS A NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!"

March 15: This is a very contagious virus. Its incredible. But its something that we have tremendous control over.

March 16: If youre talking about the virus, no, thats not under control for any place in the world. ... I was talking about what were doing is under control, but Im not talking about the virus."

March 16: "I'd rate it a 10" (in response to how he rate his handling of the situation)

He never called the virus a hoax. So, anything else you say instantly loses credibility.

What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

I've heard jack shit about Russia at this point, what have they done?

---

Trump rejected loads of testing kits from WHO, opting to manufacture them in house.

So there was manufacturing lag, and the first round of kits were defective -- as he lined the pockets of his friends. Lack of testing cascaded into more cases.

I'm sure this is the wrong way to interpret it, but I find it kind of worrying that SK tested over ten times the amount of people we did but we have over half of their confirmed cases.
