As I have written Trump lied and people died. It is as clear as day now that he was lying the whole time he was downplaying Covid. The two-faced President was telling Woodward just how dangerous it was while telling the people it will magically disappear.
How many people died because of Trump's lies. 20,000..50.,000..120,000?
Trump's apologists will make fools of themselves once arguing that Trump did not say or mean what he obviously said and meant.
Just when you think Trump has hit bottom..he once again proves us wrong by reaching even greater depths of depravity.
Perhaps it wouldn't have made much difference. At that point, the virus was not very well understood. They didnt have enough information to be able to tell people what to do. I dont know...
My God, where do these people come from? So, the next best thing to do is lie to them before they die? Where is your friggin brain?
So, there was little known about the virus early on. Even fauci said Americans should not be worried about it.
With little information to go on, what is it that trump should have done?
You are a coward who cannot address the deceit that has been Trump from the beginning. Trump explained in detail what was known about the virus to Woodward, whether he knew it or not. Then the deceit by downplaying it to the public, talking about children couldn't get it either. What Trump did was nothing short of demonic, and he set this country up for murder. You should be ashamed for defending what cannot be defended. Your post says more about who and what you are rather than Trump. This was by far his worst moment. We cannot have this monster in the WH.
Well...no. You see, I'm perfectly willing to accept, and admit if trump makes a mistake. I just do not see an upside for trump to lie about this. What does he gain by deceiving people?
We have transcripts of interviews with trump that basically says he was trying to show positivity.
Aside from that, there would have been no reason for him, at that time, to go public with the full story, since they would have not had any follow up of advice or a course of action.
It would ha e basically been kinda like this:
"Well, we have a massive virus that will likely kill about 200,000 of you Americans, and put millions of you out of work for nearly a year, and shut down the economy. We have no further information to share with you as of yet, because we do not understand what is going on, and our experts are unsure of what we should do....."
How would a statement like that have been helpful?
