What date did Trump say the virus was a hoax? I don't

[patricia92243]

know how to Google it. Why that is not played over and over again is something I can't figure out.

1. Early February. My bad, I think hoax was late January.

2. Which hoax?

3. He talked to BW on the 7th of Feb. There were zero cases here then

A few days later there were 15 cases, he said it would soon be zero

when he knew otherwise

5. Feb. 28

In North Charleston, South Carolina.

Well after many of these tapes were made.

6. He didn't call the Virus a hoax.

He said the Democrats criticism to his response was a hoax. Still, he’s a sneaky fuck, and the implication dithered as far as I’m concerned

7. Seriously

How the hell is criticism a hoax - that never made sense

[ismnotwasm]

9. He doesn't make much sense to me in general

Other than from the perspective of cold blooded manipulative bullshit. He’s good at that or he WAS. Looks like it coming back on him

11. But his Hate Radio and FOX News stalwarts reinforced Trump's BS by all in unison shouting "Hoax!".

As GOP guru Frank Luntz says "It's not what you say, it's what people hear".

8. Feb. 28

"February 28: Trump refers to the coronavirus as the Democrats’ “new hoax” at a rally in South Carolina.

The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus… One of my people came up to me and said “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia, that didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax that was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in… And this is their new hoax.”

10. On February 28, 2020 he told a packed audience in South Carolina it was a hoax

On February 7, 2020, Trump told Woodward it was a deadly virus. On February 28, 2020 he told a packed audience in South Carolina it was a hoax
