If a MAGA Minions on social media says COVID-19 spread is Democrat's fault … being tRUMP told them all it was funny - VIDEO... show them this, or copy and paste and ask them WHO MADE THAT CALL. I will be updating often.
On The Apprentice , tRUMP said, “You never blame yourself; you have to blame something else. If you do something bad, never, ever blame yourself.”
HHS employees who met a Wuhan flight of infected were non medical, untrained, unprotected and ignorant, and then they went home, some to different states. Who the hell made that call?
HHS and the State dept, to appease some noisy rich friend who was infected, agreed to send 14 infected on the same flight with hundreds of uninfected from the Diamond Princes even after CDC said it was too risky. Who made THAT call?
If CDC or hospitals run out of resources, show them this…
VIDEO: tRUMP says to his rally crowd, just before an American dies, “We have the resources we need and so far, we have lost nobody to coronavirus in the United States… nobody. “
"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." -- Trump on the coronavirus
If anyone says tRUMP did not slash the budgets, he surely tried. He may have been blocked on some by Congres, but he made budget cuts for many health related programs. Show them this…
There has been no WH team since 2018, and Obama set up anti-pandemic programs in 47 vulnerable countries to protect against the next Pandemic — like this one, and tRUMP closed 37 of them as well in 2018. Don’t trust AP “fact” checkers, FOX liars and MAGA minions saying tRUMP didn’t slash programs. And how can tRUMP be given credit for setting up a task force when he is the once who assured the virus would be spread into the US and only started to mobilize once it did?
In the spring of 2018, the White House pushed Congress to cut funding for Obama-era disease security programs, proposing to eliminate $252 million in previously committed resources for rebuilding health systems in Ebola-ravaged Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Under fire from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump dropped the proposal to eliminate Ebola funds a month later. But other White House efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated.
If anyone says to you that tRUMP is taking the coronavirus COVID-19 seriously, show them this…
VIDEO: OMG, tRUMP has no clue about antibodies, vaccines or ANYTHING FFFFFFS.. tRUMP asks a pharmaceutical CEO: "This would be a combination of a vaccine and also it will -- put it in a different way -- make you better, quicker?" and “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?” (The various strains of flu has nothing to do with the corona virus, other than they are both viruses...) The Videos after this are even more shocking.
VIDEOS LINK: tRUMP has no idea that a phase one trial is necessary and the vaccine cannot go into public use until usually a year after that. tRUMP, who knows all, thinks 2 months is better. WTAF tRUMP, on it taking up to a year to develop a coronavirus vaccine: "I mean, I like the sound of a couple months better, if I must be honest."
Or this…
VIDEO: tRUMP has admitted what we all knew; that he doesn't give a damn about others. He says he just learned that the REGULAR flu virus kills a lot of people and also adds, erroneously, that no one knew that? We all know that! People who CARE about others know it. "I told the pharmaceutical companies that they have to do a better job on that vaccine."
Or this…
VIDEO: As #coronavirus cases surge worldwide, @realDonaldTrump claims, "It's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear.”
Or this…
“In 2018, when John Bolton assumed the role of national security advisor, Ziemer left, and Bolton disbanded his team, amid public outcry. No one has since filled the position. And Ziemer wasn’t the only public health advocate to jump ship: White House homeland security advisor Tom Bossert, a staunch advocate of infectious disease preparedness and the biodefense strategy, left soon after Bolton took over.” Since then, until tRUMP’s hastily garnered response team designed to calm fears and stop the fall of the stock market, there was nothing to replace the WH/CDC/overseas team that Obama had in place to stop an epidemic at its source. It was nearly all dismantled by tRUMP.
or this …
CDC official: "We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad." tRUMP on the coronavirus: "I think the whole situation will start working out."
or this …
VIDEO: "A lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat. As the heat comes in. Typically that will go away in April. We're in great shape, though.” (It might go away a bit and come roaring back late August…like the 2018 pandemic)
or this …
VIDEO: In Iowa rally, tRUMP gently and soft spoken, reassure his base that all is just fine with the Wuhan virus… its great… and they cheer his idiocy FFS… “We only have 5 people … and hopefully its going to be great… we have somewhat of a problem… hopefully it’s going to be great”
or this …
VIDEO tRUMP: "We're working very strongly w/ China on the coronavirus that's a new thing that a lot of people are talking about... we have very little problem in this country at this moment. 5, and those ppl are all recuperating... we think it's going to have a very good ending for us …THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU.” Who needs the medical experts speak to the American people when tRUMP can make a video saying it isn’t as bad as people are saying…
If anyone says tRUMP is being transparent about the virus, why is he constantly lying about the number of infected, and contradicting the experts?
How about this for hiding data…
The John Hopkins data map originally showed where ALL of the confirmed infected were. Since the whistle blower report, they were all removed. And now, clicking on the 101 cases in the US… shows only the original and newest cases. The death toll is now 6.
Maybe they should look at the map of where tRUMP decided to place the infected and non infected travelers for quarantine. No one know where they are other than tRUMP, his staff and CDC. If tRUMP continues his rallies HE KNOWS where states are uninfected … but other candidates will not, and to turn this around, it was his HHS and poor Administration planning that may have CAUSED infections.
I have a few other COVID-19 blogs should you wish to look.

The inept White House Coronavirus Task force
This one pertains to the 1918 FLU epidemic and how the President lied to the people…
This one is less important but reminds how much tRUMP is trying to control the message…

After saying 1 million tests were
available March 02, the taskforce in charge of being CDC liaison with Whitehouse pulled back on that statement March 05 because less than 1,000 were carried out. The next day, they said
4 million tests would be available this week But in reality…
@CDCgov As of March 9, 78 state and local public health labs across 50 states now have the capacity to test up to 75,000 people for #COVID19. State/local public health staff determine which specimens should be tested. See updated interim testing guidance: https://bit.ly/331U9jY.
Also, Sec Azar said Feb 29th that a total of 93 labs should be able to process the tests by early March. Is that true? Previously regions were all allowed to test, but the final confirmation had to come from CDC Atlanta labs. if that has not changed it will be catastrophic. As of
Friday March 06…
To find out how many coronavirus tests are being conducted, BuzzFeed News contacted the public health departments of all 50 states and Washington, DC, between Tuesday and Friday.
The hard-hit Washington state, for example, says it can now test nearly 900 people a day. But Wyoming has yet to get state testing off the ground.
Even so, some common answers did come up: Few states have access to commercially produced tests, despite promises to the contrary from the FDA earlier this week.
As of Friday evening, BuzzFeed News confirmed that at least 2,187 people have been tested across the US, either at the state level or by the CDC. (Alabama and Pennsylvania did not provide information on how many tests they had done to date, and their information could not be found online.) An analysis published by the Atlantic on Friday found similar numbers.
Remember, if you read the entire story, that some states refer to TEST KITS:“test kits” refers to the large batches of materials sent to state public health labs by the CDC. Each test kit contains roughly enough material to test 350 patients, unless otherwise specified by a state health department.
