A timeline of Trump's coronavirus comments:

A timeline of Trump's coronavirus comments:

“I know more about viruses than anyone.”

January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”

February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”

February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”

February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”

March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”

March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”

March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”

March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”

March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”

March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”

March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”

March 9: “This blindsided the world.”

GOLFING!

March 13: "For years the @CDCGOV looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further.....

March 13: "Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!"

What does tRump have to gain politically from failing to address pandemic Coronavirirus 19?

Trump has done much to obstruct the Coronavirus pandemic. management for America...Muzzling our CDC, blocking Congressional Hearing information; ignoring WHO, not testing or providing adequate testing for the virus which diminishes actual epidemic facts; blatantly lies about a vaccine...you know all the obstruction tactics.

So, does he think this is a political tool and will help him get elected in November? He never does anything unless it serves him...he is not actually stupid but a cunning, manipulative soul....

What say you?

Bernie lost to Hillary in 2016...

Bernie couldn't beat Hillary in the Democratic Primaries...and technically, tRump beat Hillary in the General Election...Sooooo..We need to realize.. Bernie couldn't and can't beat tRump...

It is logical.... I'm just applying a Triage thought methodology to finding our Democratic Candidate.....

Biden would of been our 2016 Candidate... if he chose to run in 2016....

November 22, 2019

Let us begin by always calling the GOP...especially the Senate....

" The Party of Trump"....The Trump Party and/or trumpsters.....make it go viral....it would be accurate.

What say you DU?
