Trump claims intelligence officials did not raise coronavirus

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/03/politics/trump-coronavirus-us-intelligence/index.html

(CNN)President Donald Trump claimed Sunday that the US intelligence community "did NOT bring up the CoronaVirus subject matter until late into January" and that "they only spoke of the Virus in a very non-threatening, or matter of fact, manner."

I KNEW I heard the "they didn't tell me" bullshit before on important matters

1. Before he ran for president is outside attorneys

Would only meet with him in pairs. — because Donnie has a very selective memory.

2. Yep, remember that too

3. He's setting up his...

...excuse should he not win the election.

The "I was never informed, the IC downplayed the threat, etc. But I did nothing wrong! I could have been the greatest President but Obama's people in the IC made sure I failed"

10. And what about his firing the pandemic people in China last year as this was unfolding? Hmm.

4. The amoral prick is a genius, knows more than anyone...

about everything, and yet;

no one tells him anything,
it seems he never asks questions,
he never "meets" people or never "remembers" meeting people,
doesn't know people,
is never sure what their duties are when he interviewed and hired them,

and is always surprised when it turns out they are two-faced, corrupt a-holes just like him.

I didn't know demi-gods were so fn ignorant.

5. Trump "I don't take responsibility at all."

The buck always stops somewhere else.

7. Every time this moron gets caught he acts like an 8 yo

and feigns complete surprise of the startling revelation of yet another shocking scandal or outrageous corruption that rocks his presidency. Trump first claims total ignorance, relying on the "Sergeant Schultz" defense to weasel out of any responsibility.

When that tactic fails, which inevitably it always does, then he starts grasping at scapegoats to throw under the bus as a diversion. It's Trump's MO, he follows the same pattern again and again.

Maybe this time things will be different. The night nurse is late with my meds...

8. "How could it be my fault if I didn't pay attention to what you said?

I didn't know that what you were saying was important! You should have told me it was important! Why didn't you ask Fox and One America to cover it? Why didn't you ask Putin to talk to me about it? So unfair!"

9. The man is so wishy-washy, no one believes anything he says.

[SmartVoter22]

11. or when Trump guessed he heard?

So we think turmp is honest about when he knew it? I seriously doubt if he remembers what happened this morning.
Trump can claim when he knew, but his chronic lying on means that this, too, is likely a lie.

12. Since when do we rely on the intelligence community for decisions relating to.....

the potential danger of a serious problem with a deadly virus?......

14. After Trump gutted the CDC's safeguards and fired Virologists that we had in China and

other places that had a recent history with dangerous viruses.
