This is it folks. Trump did what any responsible POTUS should and would do. He eased us into the "crisis" in order to prevent mass panic and chaos. As Sleepy and Narc Harris have been promoting BLM panic and chaos, Trump was the LEADER who kept it under control during The Rona, despite the propaganda peddlers working overtime to break that control.


Trump's only mistake here was actually speaking with Woodward at all. He is the enemy, so the only thing that could come out of this would be negative Trump publicity.

And now that Trump is pushing more hope with a vaccine the left and the media consider that reckless. You just can't make these dipshits happy - at all.

As I noted in another thread. He made that statement in mid-March.

tine has borne out that there was no need to panic about this virus.

I cannot imagine that a POTUS would not feel that the general public could handle information without panic... Who the hell does he think he is?

Of course, their read is that he LIED to the American People. It's pure reflex at this point. There is absolutely NOTHING that they are unwilling to twist and distort. They are unabashedly, and to the exclusion of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ELSE, doing the work of the Biden Campaign.

Right, people were already hoarding toilet paper and hand wash, it could have gotten a whole lot worse, if there was a real panic.

He downplayed the potential severity of the virus. We had no clue what this thing was at that time.
WTF were Pelosi and DeBlasio doing in february by begging people not to worry and to go out and mix it up in China Town? WtF Was Fauci doing telling everyone COVID wasn't a serious threat?

frick all of these stupid arse gotchas. Our media is the worst thing about this country.

That's what's so criminal about this. The Dems needed more public panic to help them politically. Trump downplaying the virus forced them to kill all of those folks in nursing homes, so essentially Trump killed those old folks, not Cuomo and pals.

The problem is that the devils on the left will paint this as TRUMP INTENTIONALLY KILLED THOUSANDS, and he will have a difficult time with this narrative. Like it or not, Trump lost the narrative war on Rona, which is why he is in the red on approval with it. It's the only winning point (opinion wise, not factually) Sleepy has, so they will desperately run with it until Nov.

Same reasoning that's keeping the truth about space aliens from becoming public knowledge.

the truth is out there and we can handle the truth.

No.

Part of the President of the United States job is to always tell the truth to the citizenry no matter how much harm it may cause.



ETA:

Yeesh, tough crowd.

The way this is turning out to be, he may not have actually downplayed it at all.

Correct! How quickly people forget just how on the edge of chaos we were. shite we were actually there, and Trump was doing what he could to reel it back in. We are still recovering from our shortages
