Trump in the time of pandemic.




Trump on being asked about the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S.:

‘WELL, I DON’T THINK IT’S INEVITABLE. IT PROBABLY WILL, IT POSSIBLY WILL. IT COULD BE AT A VERY SMALL LEVEL OR IT COULD BE AT A LARGER LEVEL. WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE’RE TOTALLY PREPARED.’


"Trump said that Democrats are using the virulent coronavirus as a “hoax” to damage him and his administration."


"At one point, the president said the virus might not hit the United States, (two Americans have died at the time of this post)  contradicting a warning from the top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who said the day before that it’s now only a matter of when and how far the virus will spread."


"Trump said the United States is 'rapidly developing a vaccine' for the coronavirus and would "essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner." But Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in the same press conference that a vaccine was likely a year to a year and a half away. That would still be quick, but not fast enough to help manage the current outbreak."











Trump's faith adviser: "You don't need a flu shot because Jesus will protect you."







The GOP Cultist preznit calls all media that don't suck up to him and his lies "The enemy of the people!" 

This is exactly what every dictator and tyrant through history has said about all media that report the truth.

Meanwhile, on the blog of the Dotard-supporting Minus, the sycophantic magaturd says "Thank You for Saving Us from the Virus, Mr. President!" and that "instead of some low-level bureaucrat, Trump has put Vice President Pence in charge (raising administration responsiveness)".
