keep danger of deadly virus a secret to keep citizens from going into a "frenzy"???




President Donald Trump admitted on Wednesday he downplayed the threat of the coronavirus in order not to cause panic after excerpts from a forthcoming book made the bombshell revelation that he knew how deadly the pandemic could be even as he said it would go away.

'I'm a cheerleader for this country. I love this country. I don't want people to be frightened. I don't want to create panic,' he told reporters at the White House.

'Certainly I'm not going to drive this country or the world into a frenzy. We want to show confidence. We want to show strength, we want to show strength as a nation. That's what I've done,' he added

All Trumpers would have complied and policed anyone that didn't wear one. That's the difference.
