Is Trump being truthful about the coronavirus?

[bullwinkle]

Not sure about Trump. It is without a doubt that the media doesn't and are in fact, attempting to foment panic in this country.

The media is attempting to foment panic by quoting Trump?

Mixed White House messaging on coronavirus sparks internal frustration
White House officials acknowledge President Donald Trump is simply not on the same wavelength as his team but say there isn't much they can do to change his public tone.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — White House officials are growing increasingly frustrated at what they see as President Donald Trump's consistent bids to downplay the severity of the coronavirus outbreak, a tendency that has led to a clash in messaging with public health officials.

Those mixed signals were on display Sunday as the top infectious disease doctor at the National Institutes of Health, Anthony Fauci, warned the elderly and medically vulnerable to avoid large crowds and long trips or cruises and Surgeon General Jerome Adams told the public to be prepared for more cases and deaths.


But the message Sunday morning from Trump on Twitter was praise for his administration's response, which he called a "perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan," and blame for the media, which he said was "doing everything possible to make us look bad."

The president also told reporters Saturday night that he wouldn't be postponing his political rallies, which can attract upward of 15,000 attendees, and wasn't concerned about the virus getting closer to the White House.

Multiple sources familiar with the discussions acknowledged that Trump is simply not on the same wavelength as the rest of his team, but they said there isn't much they can do to change his public tone. Trump has been advised by some close to him to let public health officials, rather than the politicians, take a more forward-facing role, according to a person familiar with the conversation. But a person close to the White House said Trump thinks it helps him politically to keep doing what he has been doing.

That has left aides feeling discouraged over their efforts to get out a more comprehensive message about what needs to be done to prepare the public for likely hardships and major changes to their daily lives that could be ahead, said one White House official.

blob... lol!



Grow up and start (if you can) debating using adult vocabulary.

A blob supporter wanting others to act like a grown up. Insults are the coin of the realm in the blob’s world

So, you could have chosen not to engage in the behavior to which you object.

Instead, you've chosen to wallow in it.

Saying the blob is a liar isn’t behavior. Calling the morbidly obese Cheeto a blob is correct.

Do you trust him? Do you believe him? It seems to me that he is much more concerned about the economy and his reelection than the truth about the coronavirus. He seems to be in daily contradiction to the scientists and public health officials. What do you think?

he's using leadership by trying not to cause a panic

I've heard snappier come-backs from a bowl of rice crispies. Were you trying to be so lame that I actually pity you? If so...mission accomplished fuck face.

Donald Trump is revealing how “deeply unsuited he is to deal with a genuine crisis that he can’t bluff his way through,” per an editorial published Sunday in the Washington Examiner, a conservative political news site and weekly magazine that often has the president’s back.

So funny. When will Fox News also turn on him?

By distorting what Trump is saying and distorting the threat of this virus.

 

[my2¢]

I don't trust Trump. I also don't trust those that are set out to make the virus Trump's Hurricane Katrina.

Telling the truth would be a radical change for him. Especially during an election year.
