Trump Warned America About Coronavirus In Speech That Pelosi Tore Up

Trump's behavior definitely fits that description, yes.

 

I denied nothing. I asked for a link. FFS, project much?

Done with you, at least for this week. You aren't comprehending, maybe deliberately.

 

So what about the 'empty cupboards'? Why didn't Trump replenish them in his first three years? Why is he blaming the Obama administration for depleting supplies, yet he didn't replenish them?

 

Defend and rationalize yourself however you see fit.

Doesnt change the facts.

 

Sure.

On January 28, Cotton appeared on Tucker Carlson's show to warn about the coronavirus. During that appearance, the senator said, "I suspect that months from now or perhaps even years from now when people look back at this time, coronavirus will be considered the bigger story than impeachment. I hope that's wrong."

Here are a few examples of the many ways the fake news media outlets minimized the threat of the coronavirus and twisted it to attack Trump.

On January 23, NBC News reported the remarks of Didier Houssin, chair of the World Health Organization (WHO) emergency committee. The WHO repeatedly downplayed the threat to the rest of the world, even going so far as to cover for China and focus on stopping the spread of anti-Asian sentiment more than stopping the spread of the virus. Houssin insisted that "it's too early to consider this event is a public health emergency of international concern." Experts were not concerned at the time.

On January 24, NBC News's medical correspondent Dr. John Torres told viewers, "Don't be too terribly concerned" about the "Chinese coronavirus" in the U.S. He predicted that "you're probably going to see a few more cases pop up" but he predicted the virus may drop off quickly as SARS did. Torres also said China was doing an excellent job taking precautions.

January 31, The Washington Post published a story from former Harvard professor David Ropeik entitled, "How our brains make coronavirus seem scarier than it is." That article mostly focused on the "psychology behind our fear of the coronavirus," but the author did claim that "the flu is a far more infectious and deadly disease, but it is familiar, which is, at it happens, one reason many have not had their flu shots this year."

On February 1, The Washington Post published an article entitled, "Get a grippe, America. The flu is a much bigger threat than coronavirus, for now."

Can you link me to your posts calling on WaPo and Ropeik to just admit they f***ed up and acknowledge that they were wrong on both counts?

On February 2, Johns Hopkins scholar Jennifer Nuzzo took to The Washington Post to argue against the U.S. ban on entry of foreign nationals who visited China in the previous 14 days. "Past epidemics prove fighting coronavirus with travel bans is a mistake," the headline ran. Nuzzo cited WHO advice against travel bans, but a New York Times science reporter later acknowledged that Trump's travel ban likely saved lives.

On February 2, The Washington Post ran an opinion piece by a pair of academics entitled, "Why we should be wary of an aggressive government response to coronavirus." The academics warned that fears about the pandemic could "scapegoat marginalized populations."

On February 4, Politico's Alice Miranda Ollstein wrote, "Coronavirus quarantine, travel ban could backfire, experts fear." Ollstein argued that "the Trump administration’s quarantine and travel ban in response to the Wuhan coronavirus could undercut international efforts to fight the outbreak by antagonizing Chinese leaders, as well as stigmatizing people of Asian descent, according to a growing chorus of public health experts and lawmakers."

Those Chinese leaders went on to try to blame the U.S. for the coronavirus that originated in China.

As late as February 5, The New York Times published an op-ed by global tourism reporter Rosie Spinks under the headline, "Who Says It's Not Safe to Travel to China?" Spinks warned that the virus and the travel restrictions Trump put in place to respond to it were stoking hate against Chinese people and hurting the travel industry.

On February 7, The Daily Beast tweeted, "Coronavirus, with zero American fatalities, is dominating the headlines, while flu is the real threat."

On February 18, The New York Times's Megan Specia wrote an article entitled, "In Europe, Fear Spreads Faster Than The Coronavirus Itself." Specia quoted WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who warned that stigma against Asians might spread faster than the coronavirus. "The greatest enemy we face is not the virus itself; it’s the stigma that turns us against each other," he said. Yes, the leader of the WHO said that.

On February 21, CNN ran a story entitled, "What's spreading faster than coronavirus in the US? Racist assaults and ignorant attacks against Asians."

Can you link me to your posts calling on CNN to just admit they f***ed up and acknowledge that they were wrong about the danger posed by COVID-19 compared to racism against Asians?

The journalists and moderators who hosted Democratic presidential debates (CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and more), as well as the Democratic candidates themselves, did not mention the coronavirus until the February 25 debate.

If everyone but Trump was clearly aware of this grave danger all through January and February, how do you explain that it did not merit as single comment by moderators or presidential contenders on the Left until 2/25/20?

On February 26, NBC News reported remarks by Ghebreyesus, the WHO leader, saying Trump is "right" to compare coronavirus prevention to the flu.

On March 4, CNN's Anderson Cooper told viewers to "be more concerned about the flu" than about coronavirus.

​

Do you find that in the age of the internet that is more difficult to pull off this rewriting of recent history?

 

Sure, they f***ed up, too. I won't vote for them for president, either.

 

Nobody has been dumber than Biden on this.

 

That's objectively false. For every dumb thing Biden may have said about the pandemic, Trump has said 20, plus at least a dozen lies. Biden would likely be a figurehead president, with his VP running the show (a la Bush/Cheney). It's no contest.

 

No. Biden's not toppable when it comes to stupid. He can't even get his number of grandchildren right.

“[W]hen we were talking … early on in this crisis, we said — I said, among others, that, you know, you should get into China, get our experts there, we have the best in the world, get them in so we know what’s actually happening,” Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said at a CNN virtual town hall on March 27. “There was no effort to do that.”​

Except that isn’t the case.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tried to get into China just one week after China reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31, 2019.

“On January 6, we offered to send a CDC team to China that could assist with these public health efforts,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said at a Jan. 28 press conference. “I reiterated that offer when I spoke to China’s Minister of Health on Monday, and it was reiterated again via the World Health Organization today. We are urging China: More cooperation and transparency are the most important steps you can take toward a more effective response.”​

More than a week later, Azar said again at a Feb. 7 press conference that “our longstanding offer to send world-class experts to China to assist remains on the table.”

At the time, the New York Times reported, “Normally, teams from the agency’s Epidemic Intelligence Service can be in the air within 24 hours.”

Biden's never been particularly bright and he has deteriorated a great deal since he went into retirement. Comparing him to Dubya does you no favors. We had the two dumbest back to back Presidents in the history of the nation in Dubya and Obama. You think there is a great hungering to go back to Dumb and Dumber?

 

Like I said, for every misstatement from Biden, there are 20 from Trump. I honestly don't think it would be possible for someone to have handled this worse than Trump has, mainly because no one is as ego driven and as much of an attention whore.

Also, I think you missed the point of my comparison to Bush Jr. I agree Biden is probably at that same intellectual level, which is why his VP pick will be so important and likely the one running things if they win.

 

If his VP is so smart why don't they just run for Pres?

Has he considered Woody Harrelson?

He Hasn’t ‘Fully Vetted It Yet,’ But Actor Woody Harrelson Thinks He’s onto Something with His 5G/COVID-19 Conspiracy Theory.

​

Former “Cheers” TV star Woody Harrelson recently posted a report “about the negative effects of 5G” and its supposed role in the coronavirus pandemic to his more than 2 million Instagram followers.

"I haven’t fully vetted it I find it very interesting,” he wrote of the report claiming that “5G radiation” is “exacerbating” the contagion’s spread and making it more lethal.​

“I haven’t fully vetted it…” Just how would Woody go about vetting whether the radio waves emanating from 5G towers make a virus more or less virulent in the human body?

 

Rightist scat aside, Fake Don's feeble excuse for his tragic impotence in confronting the pandemic threat in timely fashion like South Korea - instead, falsely claiming that it was "under control!", that it was "a problem that is going to go away!", that "We have very few people with it!" and that people were, "getting better! They're all getting better!" [February 25, 2020]?

“It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen
and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,
Disruption to everyday life might be severe.”

Navarro spews a great deal of hooey, of course, but he, along with Dr Messoniere, deserves to be credited for his diligence in attempting to familiarize Fake Don with reality.

 

It's entirely likely he will pick someone who was in the primary race. Biden's name recognition and popularity among some demographics were hard to overcome.

​

I don't see your point with this distraction, unless it's that stupid people exist. You'll get no argument from me there.

 

Woody Harrelson has outstanding name recognition.

Or how about well-known nut case Paul Krugman?

Paul Krugman Thinks There’s a Correlation Between Hydroxychloroquine Push and ‘Right-Wing Medical Quackery.’

He's not a fan of the Trump Pills.
