Trump says he knew Covid-19 was deadly even though he downplayed it

President Donald Trump admitted he knew weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he repeatedly played it down publicly, according to legendary journalist Bob Woodward in his new book "Rage."

  1. So he knew that the virus was deadly but yet he still had his rallies ppl seating very close to each other.. 😤 what a Jackass

    1. @B IKR ! They only use pro-life for political reasons and nothing more. It’s the only plan they can think of.

    1. I’m a 19yo Mexican American university student with a 5.4 GPA, and my female sorority girls will definitely be voting for Donald J. Trump. Build that wall!

      Good afternoon, I am a stock photo of a person of color and I for one do not think Trump is racist!

      Hello, my name is suburban housewife and my bio is seven random nouns, and I for one will be voting for Donald Trump!

      Hello, my name is proud America, my job is American and my husband is a gun!

      Hello, I am a military veteran and I have fought in the wars, Something I care about deeply is the Nielsen ratings of the RNC! Yes that’s me, a real guy! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

    2. @EX Democrat K trump said, it’s nothing, i,m not going to wear a mask, trump rallies, people not wearing mask. Yep, he killed alot of folks.

  2. So, basically, he’s willing to let hundreds of thousands of Americans die in order to stay in power.
    He’s a cold, calculating monster.

    1. @Pete Rubino You wear a mask to protect others in case you’re carrying the virus.
      It’s not for yourself.
      As well, show me where masks have been determined useless.
      I can tell you someone said the moon was pink.
      Can I prove it?

    2. Nora Nora -than you will appreciate this :

      “Death Camp Commandant Cuomo “( this is what the families of the 6400 NY Nursing Homes victims are calling NY GovernorCuomo) needs to answer these 6 very critical questions about his handle of the Coronavirus in NY :

      1. Why in 2015 did he turned down the purchase of 16000 ventilators and PPE Inventory as recommended by his own Dept of Health and why did he not purchased a sufficient number of ventilators or PPEs every year since that time?

      2. Why did he promote Chinese New Years’ public celebrations during a pandemic into late February ?

      3. Why did he take the lead against the US travel ban on China on January 31st ?

      4. Why did Governor wait 6 weeks to rescind his order of forcing Nursing Homes to take C-19 infected patients, resulting in over 6400 Nursing Home Deaths? Why didn’t he use the federally built hospitals and/or the hospital ship , which both were significantly underutilized, to house these Nursing Home C-19 infected patients ??? “Death Camp Commandant Cuomo “ is what the families of the 6400 Nursing Homes victims are calling him now.

      5. Since he cannot blame the federal government for insufficient ventilators or hospital beds ( both needs were well met) and since he is now blaming the federal government for the Nursing Home deaths due to their guidance, why then did he wait 6 weeks to counterman that guidance , which he put into practice through his original order ?? He has the blood 6400 Nursing Homes Patient who die because of his incompetency and arrogance

      6. What does he say to the Black New Yorkers who have been devastated by this virus thanks to his mismanagement of this pandemic in NY

    3. @Jets Tom Trump was giving false information about Covid-19’s gravity for months.
      Therefore, it is unfair for you to blame Cuomo for all his mishandling.
      Trump said on tape he was downplaying the virus.
      As well, why is he still holding rallies where he does not demand every person wear a mask?
      Compare what he’s doing now to what Cuomo did months ago, based on a lot of false information.
      Also, Covid-19 hit in 2019.
      Why do you have to go all the way to 2015 to criticize Cuomo about ventilators?
      This, when Trump sent tons of PPE out of the country, even when he knew a pandemic was headed here.
      He also refused to use the defense act to get companies to produce needed equipment.
      It’s pathetic that during WWII we were producing a bomber each hour, but under Trump, our doctors were using trash bags to cover themselves as they tended to covid victims.
      He’s a god-damned disgrace.
      Another thing.
      He sent hundreds of ventilators to Russia and then bought 45 defective ones from Putin.
      What was that about?
      He sent this garbage to New York, if I’m not mistaken.

    4. @John Edward Yeah! Trump MADE Cuomo refuse to follow his shut down order. Trump MADE Cuomo do the opposite of what the CDC directed by putting thousands of elderly in nursings home to die (despite those nursing homes initially refusing due to the danger and being FIRCED by Cuomo to do it anyway.)

      I REALLY dislike Trump, but when Democratic governors refuse to take actions ordered by the president, then turn around and say the president killed those people, it disgusts me. It’s just like the Democratic leaders who refuse to allow federal law enforcement help with riots, then spew venom at Trump and the federal government for “not doing anything about it” and blaming them for it continuing to happen.

    1. @procekim Of course China is to blame but that doesn’t clear Trump of responsibility especially when he was briefed and downplayed the virus, called it a hoax, kept saying it’ll disappear. And his excuse “I don’t want to create panic”. We want honesty. Not sugarcoated lies.

    2. @procekim You bet? You’d bet wrong because firstly I don’t use toilet paper. Secondly, Trump isn’t a strong leader. He’s the worst president in the history of the United States and should not be in a position of power. Not that he has much power, to begin with, but his words have power over the idiots who worship him, like yourself, and that is dangerous especially when you people actually look to the president for guidance. You can spew all the bullshit lies you wish in order to feel significant, but the fact remains that the man is a disgrace to our country. A cat would be better suited in office than him, and that is such a shame.

    3. Joe Biden’s China: AP / Breaking News- Virologist Claims She Can Prove COVID Virus Was Made in Wuhan Lab

      A virologist from China said in a recent interview that the novel coronavirus which has swept the globe is man-made and originated in a Chinese lab.

      Dr. Li-Meng Yan has reportedly been in hiding since shortly after she began researching the origins of COVID-19 at the end of 2019, when the first outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China.

      In an interview published Friday on the British talk show “Loose Women,” Yan — speaking from an undisclosed location — discussed her theory about the origin of the pandemic.

      She also described a campaign to blame a Wuhan wet market for the viral outbreak as a “smoke screen.”

      “The seafood market in Wuhan … [is] a smoke screen, and … this virus is not from nature,” Yan said.

      She said she received the information backing up her lab theory “from the [Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention], from the local doctors.”

      It is believed Yan is somewhere inside the U.S, where she relocated in April without her husband, who is also a scientist in China, after he became critical of her, AP reporting .

      YouTube star who filmed himself defecating on the driveway of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco residence said he did so as a “peaceful protest” — but admitted it was a “joke that got out of hand.”

      The man, who identifies himself as “Mando” or “Armando” on his online channels and requested to have his last name withheld for fear of retribution, told The Post that the incident started with a joke from commenters on his livestream.

    4. The protesters/rioters/looters/killings are burning down the house..and CNN’s in the backroom rewinding tapes…What news coverage.

  3. So, China did not, in fact, withhold that information. Xi and the Chinese government tells Trump and his administration everything about it back in February, and then Trump admits he purposefully downplayed it while telling us “it’s China’s fault for not telling us sooner.”

    1. The protesters/rioters/looters are burning down the house and CNN’s in the back room rewinding tapes…What news coverage….Booo CNN!

    2. CHINA KNEW ABOUT THIS VIRUS IN OCTOBER! So don’t forget about that! China withheld information from the entire world 🌎 until February!!! Millions were already infected by then

    3. On January 18, HHS Secretary Azar discussed the coronavirus outbreak with President Donald Trump, who criticized Azar for being “alarmist”

    1. @Jets Tom

      Yes…and every day that passes the democrats are getting closer and closer to being sent to jail over this. Republicans bring evidence not allegations and rumors.

      BTW, 3 things have already came to pass and I also have scientific evidence that covid is being used as a bioweapon, if you want it just ask.
