Everything That's Happening Now, Trump Was Warned About Ahead of Time

The United States intelligence community has been warning the president since January and February about the dire consequences that would occur when coronavirus reached America, but the president seemed determined to play down the threat, leaving the country largely unaware and unprepared.

According to the Washington Post, intelligence agencies sent reports to Trump tracking the virus spreading through China and stating that the Chinese government was being dishonest and trying to minimize how severe the outbreak actually was. One official told the Post that intelligence agencies “have been warning on this since January.”

The official added, chillingly, “Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it. The system was blinking red.”

But in January, the president was reassuring Americans. “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine,” he said on CNBC.

he's not even smart enough to do that.
He's the old man wandering down the hall in the retirement home, his gown open in the back and looking for his golf cart.

Look through everything he does with that FILTER.

He even got his grown first edition spawn doing it!

His pressers are for Fox News and RW media to show him "being Presidential".

Does he own lots of stock in the stomach remedy category?



At this point, a peepee tape aint enough.
