NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. President Donald Trump on Friday night tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term, lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation.
He blamed the press for acting hysterically about the virus, which has now spread to China, Japan, South Korea, Iran, Italy and the U.S, and he downplayed its dangers, saying against expert opinion it was on par with the flu.
The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. They're politicizing it, he said. They don't have any clue. They can't even count their votes in Iowa. No, they can't. They can't count their votes. One of my people came up to me and said, Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That did not work out too well. They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax.
Then Trump called the coronavirus their new hoax.
Trumps comments came as the White House has struggled to adequately respond to and contain the coronaviruss increasingly sweeping path. At the rally held here on the eve of the Democratic primary in South Carolina he sought to manage Americans expectations about the White Houses ability to fight it.

(5,275 posts)They probably deserve It because they slurp this demented excuse for a human being but he is almost certainly sentencing his loser fans to this Virus.
The only good thing about this situation is that it should expose to some of his less crazy fans to what he really is.
Twitler makes Nixon look good, he is a horrible awful person. I have my doubts but if there is a Hell that would be where he is headed.

(17,639 posts)I wonder if his voters are willing to risk their lives over the Coronavirus "hoax." When it spreads, they should disavow all protective measures showing their blind faith in their leader.
Trump and administration can solve the Coronavirus very easily. All they have to do is quit testing for it. No confirmation, no Coronavirus. He has already softened us up by telling us the great numbers of people who die from seasonal flu, prepositioning himself for an explanation.
