Here is a timeline of what Donald Trump has had to say about controlling the COVID-19 pandemic

Also:

March 16: "I don't take responsibility at all."

Thank you for your work, this reality check of the emperor's new clothes of Nero's fiddling is cut&paste able.

So we’re you hoping he would lose his cool and freak out? Like HOLY SHOT EVERYBODY ITS BAD WERE ALL GOING TO DIE?

I’ll tell you something you already know. Trumps response isn’t what bothers you. It’s a much deeper issue. If it stems from left or right, you gotta get that fixed.

In war, there is always deception.

Why, why would the president give the complete truth? You really expected that? No, your waiting for him to do something the left doesn’t like, so you can feel like your apart of something more and share the hatred. It’s not even your hatred.

You shills amaze me.

Let me be clear. I would expect a president of a country to have more information then every citizen of that country. I would fully expect that president to down play a situation in order to slow mass panic.

Now, let’s really learn something here... the moment the president declared a state of emergency, he had no further effect on the states. At that moment it was up to the individual states to adopt a policy to stop the thread. The president is now an observer.

Does this make sense to you?

Should be able to do the same thing with "Mexico Paying for the wall"

March 6: (same availability) “Anybody who wants a test can get a test. That’s the bottom line.”

That whopper is actually a deadly lie. More than two weeks later and we still don't have enough tests.

February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. . . . Stock Market starting to look very good to me.”

Totally

As bad as the virus can be, the virus is only one element to consider and control.

People see what's going on around they world and in their own states. They see the truth. The best or only counter to all of this is confusion, doubt is strongly needed and used in dangerous situations. It's not ideal, but maybe it buys a bit of time.

Feb 7: Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!"

he quotes trump and he’s the shill?

and you’re assuming a lot

you’re the shill

Here's a good one from @realdonaldtrump

March 9: There seems to be a Leftist trope that the Covid19 is a “hoax.” You do a disservice by spreading fake information.

There are 65,273 Coronavirus cases as of today or 65,273 more than Trump said we would have have two weeks ago.

Bravo Op...

Hard to argue with the truth..

Feb. 10 – “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

Doom off next week.

March 26 -- "The mortality rate... in my opinion, it’s way way down”

Jan. 22 – “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control.”

Jan. 24 – “It will all work out well.”

Jan. 30 – “We have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at the moment – five. And those people are all recuperating successfully.”

Feb. 10 – “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

Feb. 19 – “I think the numbers are getting progressively better as we go.”

Feb. 20 – “…within a couple of days, is going to be down to close to zero.”

Feb. 22 – “We have it very much under control in this country.”

Feb. 25 – “…the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus… They tried the impeachment hoax … and this is their new hoax.” (to Sean Hannity)

Feb. 26 – “We’re going down, not up.”

Feb. 27 – “It’s going to disappear. One day like a miracle – it will disappear.”

Feb. 29 – “Everything is really under control.” (The vaccine will be available) “very rapidly.”

March 2 – “It’s very mild.”

March 4 – “…we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.”

March 6 – (visiting the CDC) “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.’ Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.” Maybe.

March 6: (same availability) “Anybody who wants a test can get a test. That’s the bottom line.”

March 7: “I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.”

March 10 – “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”

March 16 – (asked to rate his own performance) “I’d rate it a ten.”

March 17 – “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”

March 26 – “A lot of good things are happening. The mortality rate... in my opinion, it’s way way down”

With new infections and deaths rising exponentially, the US became the country with most known coronavirus cases of any country in the world, passing Italy and China.

Donald Trump, in my opinion, is full of shit.

March 11: "It will go away, just stay calm,"

The coronavirus is not Donald Trump's fault, but his inept response is.

He ignored the warnings for months, downplayed the threat it posed, and failed to take the action needed to combat the outbreak. Look at the list above with his statements all the way back.

It's one of the greatest failures of presidential leadership in our history.

March 27: “You call it a germ, you can call it a flu. You can call it a virus. You can call it many different names. I’m not sure anybody knows what it is.”

Hey look. It's Kate Winslet!

For nostalgia.

Donald Trump:

Feb. 10: “Looks like by April...when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away...I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon.”

Feb. 13: “We think and we hope...that the problem goes away in April.”

April has come and gone.

Here is a chart of the timeline, which pretty much sums it up.

June 1: "I think we're going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think that, at some point, that's going to sort of just disappear, I hope."

July 6 - "So, we've done a good job. I think we are going to be, in two, three, four weeks, by the time we next speak, I think we're going to be in very good shape."
