#WALKAWAY: GOP Senator Susan Collins Says Trump 'should have been straightforward' on COVID-19
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said President Trump should have been “straightforward” with the American people regarding the seriousness of the threat posed by the coronavirus earlier this year after recordings revealed he downplayed the pandemic.

“I believe the president should have been straightforward with the American people. The American people can take hard facts, and he had an obligation as president to be straightforward with them and to tell all that he has known,” Collins said at a Senate debate in Maine Friday evening.

The remarks come after recordings of interviews between Trump and veteran journalist Bob Woodward revealed that Trump wanted to “downplay” the coronavirus’s threat in the early months of the pandemic.

"I wanted to, I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic," Trump said in a recording released by Woodward.

"It goes through the air," Trump said in another part of the interview. "That's always tougher than the touch. You don't have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breath the air and that's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus."

The comments to Woodward came at the same time as Trump was publicly comparing the coronavirus to the annual flu and suggesting the pandemic would simply disappear.

However much he downplayed it, he still represented it as about five times worse than it is.

He was right at first. It's a joke. They renamed Pneumonia, Tuburculosis, and Bronchitis and called it 'covid19'.

yes. He shoulda said "Mind your immune system". The end.
His problem is the same as all politicians. They try to interject themselves where they don't belong to justify their existence and they fuck things up worse.

I think people who say something like "Trump's death count" are really stupid. First, you don't know what anyone else's death count would be. Oh yes you do, you know why? The more you like someone, the lower their count would be, in your hypothetical world.
Second, you are using the empirical, numerical value, be it cases, deaths or whatever, to lay blame, and assign incompetence, which implies that if someone did everything right, no one would die.

Everyone knew what was going on, it was a global event. Trump jumping up and down with his hair on fire would have caused half the country to attack him question the seriousness of virus, just like they did with hydroxychloroquine.

Hindsight is always 2020 and Monday morning quarterbacks are a dime a dozen. Personally I’m fine with how Trump handled it. If anything he went overboard with the lockdowns and masks. I’d love to see how this stupid RINO c&nt would’ve done it.
