Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26505444 United States 03/12/2020 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is Trump lying about border closures from March 5th: "With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!" [link to twitter.com (secure)] No borders have been closed to date. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26505444 United States 03/13/2020 12:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trump lying about his "approval rating" for management of the coronavirus crisis. "Our response is one of the best, with fast action of border closings & a 78% Approval Rating, the highest on record" This poll just released today: Fifty-three percent of registered voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the virus, while 47 percent approve. The poll was taken before the NBA and NHL suspended their seasons and before Trump in an Oval Office address on Wednesday night announced he was restricting travel from much of Europe because of the coronavirus. It also occurred before Wall Street endured one of its worst days in memory on Thursday, as the Dow Jones Industrial average lost 2,352 points or 9.99 percent of its value.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26505444 United States 03/13/2020 12:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is Trump's tweet from an hour ago: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26505444 "Sleepy Joe Biden was in charge of the H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic which killed thousands of people. The response was one of the worst on record. Our response is one of the best, with fast action of border closings & a 78% Approval Rating, the highest on record. " [link to twitter.com (secure)] 1. No borders have been closed to date. This is a false claim that Trump has made repeatedly. 2. Trump appears to be lying about an outdated Gallup poll from mid-February, before the testing problems became apparent, in which 77 percent of Americans said they were confident the government could handle the coronavirus response. Here is that Gallup poll: [link to news.gallup.com (secure)] Last night Trump told the nation: “We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship, and unify together as one nation and one family.” |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1544956 United States 03/13/2020 12:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the case of Corona Virus Trump is a liar. The borders are NOT closed, even the DHS acknowledges some 3,000 illegals are caught and released into the USA every month and for every legal catch the sane number crosses southern border into the USA undetected. ZERO o f these people have been checked for coronavirus. Facts are in a largee country like the USA there is NO stopping a virus. Trump certainly knows this so his goal is to just keep the sheep calm, some will die but that is the coast of doing business and Trump needs to keep the economy booming to be re-elected |

Anyone stuck in EU is flying to Canada and renting cars to cross back into the u.s.. Op is correct. I've been saying this for a few years now.. Trump says one thing to his cult of followers but does nothing or does the complete opposite of what he says. |
