‘When we get into April…’
"Addressing a group of governors, Trump predicts the virus will disappear. “I think it’s going to work out fine. I think when we get into April, in the warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on that and that type of a virus.” (1)
27 February
‘It will disappear’
“It’s going to disappear,” [coronovirus] Trump says in a White House briefing. “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” (1)
29 February
First confirmed US death

13 March
"‘I don’t take responsibility at all’
Trump declares a national emergency over coronavirus. Trump announces a supposed Google site under development to help people across the country find testing, but it is a sham.
“We’ve been in discussions with pharmacies and retailers to make drive-through tests available in the critical locations identified by public health professionals,” Trump adds, but a month later only a handful had materialized.
Says Trump: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”"(1)
Let's all look at the U.S. deaths in the last month -- April 14 thru Today, May 14th -- which Trump doesn't take responsibility at all for failure after failure;
"Nearly 600,000 people in the United States had been diagnosed with COVID-19 as of Tuesday April 14, by far the most confirmed cases of any country in the world". (2)
Today, May 14th, according to the John Hopkins University Covid-19 Dashboard & Map utility the U. S. now has 1, 406,000 confirmed with Covid-19 [over 5000 were added from beginning to type this sentence from 1,405,947 to 1,411,466 total infections.]
So subtracting the 600k from 1.41 million yields approximately 810,000 cases in the last month (Apr-May) which Trump, "takes absolutely no responsibility for and turns his back on, even though he is POTUS and the buck stops with him as POTUS. But he is too damn much of an immature coward to pick up the mantel and does nothing but shirk his responsibilities like the spoiled child he was never able to shed and become a functional man!
