Trump downplayed and dismissed this virus in January, February, and early March.
All while banning travel from China and assembling the best team of scientists in the world as his coronavirus task force. Sure, call it "right-wing talking points" if you like.
You know it to be true.
Doing nothing would have been:
1) Not banning travel from hard-hit countries like China.
2) Not assembling the coronavirus task force.
3) Not replenishing the national strategic stockpile.
4) Not overhauling our testing apparatus.
5) Not invoking the DPA to mass-produce needed PPE and testing supplies to states in need.
6) Not dispatching the Mercy and Comfort to Los Angeles and New York to help with a lack of hospital bed capacity.
7) Not signing a $2.2 trillion aid package to help average Americans like you and me.
Come on, call those talking points. I will destroy you.
1) Restriction..not ban. 40K+ people flock home in a panic. Whoops.
2) Uhh....in March..when it was way too late.
3) He didn't. I'm sorry, who was President from 2017 to now?..Yep, thought so.
4) Again, see Point #3
5) Only did so at the point of a gun. And we still don't have the PPE needed. FAIL.
6) Oh jeez. You make it like Trump with his heavenly hand dispatched those ships from God (who weren't dispatched for coronavirus patients but other patients). But I will admit, it made for a good OJ (Ford Bronco) moment on CNN.
7) None of which he had anything to do with. House and Senate along with some of his cabinet members negotiated. He signed it though...with his big boy pen.
Talking points answered. Consider yourself dispatched.
