    He did distort. That's what downplaying is . . . a distortion.
    When you know a disease is deadlier than the flu and you tell the public it isn't deadlier than the flu, you are distorting. I refuse to believe anyone is ignorant enough to not understand this.
    And was deadlier than the flu.

    Fauci doesn't matter here. Trump admitted it. Your desperation to shift the spotlight elsewhere won't work. He knew it was deadlier than the flu. He told the public otherwise. He CONTINUES TO ****ING LIE ABOUT IT. He tried claiming that the climb in cases was purely due to increases in testing. That's a lie. He shared a tweet claiming that the "real" death rate is as low as 9,000. That's a lie. He goes against his own administration's health guidance, he mocks people for wearing masks. I understand that you can't address any fact that challenges his decries, but some of us actually care about the truth, especially when lives are on the line.

    This is what happens when people value partisanship and misguided hero worship over basic concepts of truth and public health.

    The truth creates a panic? How so? You allow someone else to make medical decisions for you and yours? You tell your physician to not tell you the actual results of a test if they are not perfect? Really?

    Surely, even you understand how the truth can create a panic.

    YUP, it certainly does if people let it? What makes you so certain that a millions people would have not panicked in the very beginning if Trump would have been totally honest ALONG with all the MSM and scientist touting ridiculous death totals that we don't see today at all.

    Come on man, common sense here!

    I really don't think so! I notice a lack of key points the left is not considering today that were in play at the beginning of all this.. One key point is all the propaganda and misinformation of sick and dying and crazy projection that Trump squelched in the beginning.

    No, we’re hostage to the man child in the White House, who won’t take charge, won’t delicate, and who undermines his own task force on an ongoing basis.

    He then tries to rewrite history. Of course, only the people in his personality cult buy that.

    And the Corona statistics from EVERY first world, and most second world countries are better than ours, dispite your made up denial.

    We are number one in the world in corona cases and deaths.

    Our economy is reeling from it, unlike many others. In Europe, many countries simply put everyone on the payroll for the period of the lockdown.

    Not here. We got instant mass unemployment, followed by a refusal to extend further help.

    Own it. He’s your fuhrer.

    No, it wasn't - it was March 19.

    He didn't mention playing it down at all on Feb 7.

    There was no panic in the streets in New York when Cuomo took charge. Dispite your colleagues attempts to invent it after the fact.

    There was, however, panic in the nursing homes - at least among the residents who retained sufficient faculty to realize what was going on.

    China did not give the US the worst outcomes in the world. Trump’s neglect and his failure to lead did that.

    Everyone else got the virus, too. So blaming China does not absolve your fuhrer from his denial and neglect.

    “Frankly no, I take no responsibility at all”. Donald J Trump.

    Now, THAT’s a leader!

    Well we know that :roll: But can you say without doubt that same scenario would have been if Trump had preached doom and gloom like the rest of the MSM and the over zealous predictors of MEGA DEATH.. ;)

    There’s that.

    And what is Trump’s excuse for continuing to lie about the pandemic even NOW?

    Hell I sensed a good amount of panic from some posters when this first broke out! If Trump would have fueled them with the same hysteric the media was ginning them up with I fear/imagen the worst ;)

    Still no anarchy.


    Trump still telling the same lies .

    Is he still trying not to panic people?

    Is there anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex that doesn’t now know how serious this is?

    Are you telling me that you think being lied to is in your best interest?

    That’s what your fuhrer did. We have him on tape admitting it.

    And, no, I think if Trump had gone on TV, leveled with the public, set up a real task force, and presided over it all (instead of insulting, degrading and undermining them), there would have been no panic at all.

    Andrew Cuomo proved that.

    So did every other first world leader.

    Why, I didn't get all butt hurt and cry when the MSM and the scientific community claimed/lied about 10's of millions would parish in this horrible XI pandemic.. Now if the President of the United States would have added to that insanity then yes, I would have been pissed at him! But having him calm the country during a doomsday blitz from the DNC and MSM, nah!!!! I'm far more adult and realistic then any gullible loon that might have lost their mind with that sort of moronic bullshit added to the mix..

    That's his job! You're getting all that nonsense you need from the MSM already. Are you still hiding behind a mask, house, if so, then you hardly need Trump to scare you anymore beyond all that ;)

    I suggest a video like Resident Evil and some Kornpop, get that fear factor up a little HOLLYWOOD style and let Trump continue to sooth the fears of his children like he was elected to do.. And yes, like it or not he cares about your stress levels just like all Americans.. Unlike that mean world killer Xi the merciless :(

    Americans were hoarding,emptying grocery store shelves, they certainly were starting to panic.

    We all watched the morning press conferences with Trump's Coronavirus Task force, was he lying? No. He was saying the same things Fauci and Brix were saying. I don't see how people can rewrite history and claim Trump was lying, he was on live TV every day, for hours. There is a difference between being optimistic, and lying. Obama was optimistic during H1N1 and Ebola, was he lying? Obama was incompetent maybe, but lying?

    Paper products, and the shortage had more to do with manufacturing than any panic. And it lasted only a few weeks. Some things went quickly; I survived. We actually had a surplus in beef production expecting a big tourist season. T-bones and New Yorks were 4 and 5 dollars a pound for a few weeks. Nobody panicked here.

    He lied. He lies. Accept it.
