At the same time Trump was talking to Woodward, Fauci was on TV saying the virus was no worse than the flu. While Trump was shutting down travel from China, the dems accused him of overreacting and being a xenophobe. Days after the travel ban Pelosi and a long list of other libtards were telling people to go the China Town, bars, cinemas, and ride the subway. and to basically party like there is no tomorrow. Everyone knows who took the virus seriously and who didn't.

Republicans and Trump supporters won’t care about this book. Doesn’t matter how he handled COVID the left would still hate him.

Woodward’s book could effect Independents that are on the fence. It could also hurt the Hispanic vote. Hispanics are more likely to die from COVID than white people,

Early voting starts next week in 3 swing states. Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Michigan. 20% of surveyed Independents say they are voting early.

Woodward's book is BS. No one knew in early February how bad the virus would be. When you shut down travel from one of the largest countries in the world it shows you are taking precautions to protect the American people and taking the virus seriously. No one wants a President that is going to panic the whole country. Trump did ten times better than any demorat. Look at NY and NJ. Their governors killed thousands of elderly people through stupidity.

He knew. Its on freaking tape. He lied. Both my LSU alum neighbors died. He says China should have stopped it. He should have stopped it as soon as it his USA then.

How exactly would you “stop” this virus that even the harshest shutdowns in the country have failed to stop?

Republican establishment = Liberal

The only difference is the abortion issue.

Establishment Republicans love globalism and foreign aid just like Democrats.

It didn't originate here, so that makes no sense. China could have told the truth, quarantined everyone, informed all countries about the virus and stopped travel in and out of there. Trump did more than they did with his travel bans and it didn't even originate here.

Ding, ding.

The only way it would have gone better would have been going full draconian on stopping flights from anywhere and shutting the borders. I was calling for that way back in January and February and remember co-workers looking at me like I was a nut.

Those same co-workers came to me this summer and told me, "You were right all along. We thought you were nuts but you knew".

He was right about one thing, he could shoot someone in time square and people would still vote for him.

quote:

"I wanted to always play it down," Trump told Woodward on March 19, even as he had declared a national emergency over the virus days earlier. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."


Was this his only two options? Play it down or cause panic?

George W Bush created a plan for a pandemic, made it part of HLS, Obama used it for Ebola, H1N1, etc and added to this "Pandemic Playbook" and in 2017 Trump did away with it.

All he had to do was follow instructions, but he waited over a month before he really even acknowledged it. And I honestly believe what he said in that recording is his best spin of things. If you don't think he should hold a good bit of responsibility of mismanaging this thing then you are just completely blind.

You think this is the first time this type of virus has presented itself? From China? Where they eat everything but human shite??

I've got beachfront property in Nebraska for you if you believe that shite.

A strong national defense is a hallmark of a pro-American agenda. And its GONE.

You think the Chicoms were going to allow our CDC officials to get involved in this and it would have all been thwarted, but for us removing 30 bureaucrats from their country two years ago?

Unfair trade deals and propping up Europe and the rest of the world is as Anti-American as it gets.

American taxpayer money needs to be spent here especially when so few actually pay into the treasury.

You establishment types are going to get a big surprise in 2024 when Trump supporters tell you to frick off because of the way you treated Trump.

Woodward conducted 18 interviews with Trump from Dec 5, 2019 to July 22, 2020. The interviews were recorded by Woodward with Trump's permission.

It will be interesting to see how interviews Trump granted with permission to tape them are going to be spun as either a hoax or fake news.

Who says panic was the only reaction?

Downplaying it led to all the "herd immunity" anti-mask bullshite from his staunchest supporters
