Since taking office President Trump has repeatedly made astonishingly bold yet astoundingly false statements, recorded not only in ink but by the watching TV cameras, yet time and time again when confronted with the paper thin veracity of his words he continues to deny or contradict his own words.
Claiming he has always taken the pandemic seriously deviates wildly from his previous comments. Comments that even if they were played back to him he would likely trumpet his famous ‘fake news’ fanfare despite the words clearly and provably coming out of his own mouth.
Infamously, when asked about the response, or lack thereof, from the US when dealing with the explosion of cases across the country he simply replied: “I don’t take responsibility at all”.
Even going so far as to say to PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor her question was ‘nasty’ when she pointed out that his administration disbanded the White House Pandemic Office whose officials said ‘the White House had lost valuable time because that office was disbanded’
Not content with that he went on to say “When you say me, I didn’t do it,” the president continued. “We have a group of people, I could ask, perhaps my administration.” He then turned to Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. “Perhaps I could ask Tony about that? Because I don’t know anything about that.”
Although he now claims to have always taken this pandemic seriously and that his administration is doing a ‘great job’, he has repeatedly downplayed the threat posed by Covid-19, even going so far as to criticize concerns over the crisis as a “hoax”
He also suggested that the social distancing and isolation measures should be lifted around Easter despite every health professional warning that this timeline he is suggesting is wildly out of step with the current models of how this outbreak will play out over the coming months.
They also added that any lifting of restrictions put in place to quell the spread of coronavirus would be catastrophic and cause hospitals to overflow with sick and dying patients.
It was completely predictable: the world is suffering from a pandemic at the time the USA has an idiot for president. When will we ever learn? The citizens of this country are no longer capable of choosing their own commander-in-chief.
Something of this nature was bound to happen. What do we have leading this nation in this time of crisis? A total idiot. The people of this nation do not appear to be capable of choosing our leader.
Donald Trump at the helm of this nation during a world-wide pandemic, still spreading his ignorance. God help us all.
I love this article! Kiddos to whoever wrote it. Finally, the facts along with Trumps actual statements are in print for everyone to read!
65% of Americans polled believe Trump is doing a great job. The vast majority of these individuals are Republicans.
Fox News is partly responsible for this. However, a great deal is due to the ignorance of Americans.
We are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world and take it for granted.
We have a responsibility to honor and protect our democracy.
We have allowed a snake oil salesman to turn the United States of America into a third world country through racial bigotry, economic inequality, and greed.
God will save His children and will not be mocked by a man who claims to know God.
So-called Evangelical Christians need to wake up and speak out against his presidency rather than behaving like Pharisees and Sadducees. God did not place him there!!!!
God’s plan for our lives will come to fruition if we believe in Him.
Please, pray for our country and our world.
Be blessed.
Churchill – “We will never surrender.”
Roosevelt – “We have nothing to fear but fear itsel”
Kennedy – “Ask what you can do for your country.”
trump – “I take no responsibility.”
AT same time the Congress left session and abandoned their constituents. They are too infested with racism and xenophobia that it’s truly hurting America. I wouldn’t lie to you. Most of them are motivationally deficient and differently logical and therefore not worth their salt. They did nothing for the prior h1n1 and swine flu pandemics and could not concieve any plan that is workable.
