Fact-checking Trump on coronavirus: No, he didn't predict the pandemic

By Emily Singer -March 18, 2020 10:20 AM

Trump continually lied about his early response to the virus.

As the novel coronavirus spreads and drastic measures to contain the outbreak threaten to cause economic pain for millions of Americans, Donald Trump has spent his time lying and distorting facts, often blaming others for the fallout rather than taking personal responsibility.

Here's a look at his most recent untruths.

We know he is a liar, this why we are in this shit now and we also have to remember that one John Bolton, helped gut the agency in charge of responding to this issue...................when they dismantled it all by themselves.................libertarian assholes...........

Why did he stand up at a rally a few weeks ago and announce it was a “Democrat hoax” designed to run him out of office?? Lying sack of sh*t!! He is despicable and completely unworthy of trust.

He is in way over his head. He has suddenly decided “the media” are ok and he thanked them for the great job they are doing. What happened to “they are the enemy of the people”?? He should be completely ignored. Even Pence (whom I thoroughly despise) is better at explaining things than he is. All tRump knows how to do is speak in generic, generalized answers, trying to make himself look good and knowledgeable. In truth, he is as dumb as they come but THINKS he is too smart even for MENSA.

He needs to step aside and allow the experts to talk us through this. And they need to stop kissing his ring before every news conference. It is nauseating and makes my BP spike every time they do that and every single one of them begin their briefing remarks by saying what a great job tRump is doing. STOP that now. We don’t care. Just do your job and tell us what we need to know.
