Trump Says CDC Trip Called Off Over Suspected Coronavirus Case

[left-of-center2012]

President Donald Trump said the White House canceled his expected visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday because someone at the Atlanta agency was suspected of contracting the coronavirus.

Trump said he may visit the agency after all because the person tested negative for the virus. A White House official said earlier Friday that Trump’s CDC trip had been canceled because the president didn’t want to interfere with the agency’s work.

“They’re trying to work it out,” Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for Nashville, where he said he’ll meet with the governor of Tennessee. “Because of the one person they didn’t want me going.”

[PJMcK]

6. This White House never has a straight answer for anything

I'm sure the trip was cancelled because Trump was afraid of contracting the virus.

It's just that they lie so much the truth is difficult to ascertain.

[Demovictory9]

10. I know!

8. Remembering last year ...

Trump had someone kicked out of a meeting because the person sneezed.

19. Mulvaney coughed while Trump was doing an interview, & Trump got mad & made

him leave.

[Mike 03]

9. "Because I'm not very bright, so they didn't want me going."

I think that's closer to the truth.

16. lol

[Poeraria]

11. I thought all of this Corona virus stuff was just a Democratic hoax to make Trump look bad!!!

Didn't the Trumpster listen to Rush when he said that this disease was nothing more than the common cold?

[Nature Man]

12. I thought it was a "Democrat" hoax?

What a fat fucking pustulent orange coward. Doesn't even have the strength of his own perverted convictions.

Fucking asshole.

[C_U_L8R]

13. It's just a matter of time

Do viruses have a predilection for orange?

[skip fox]

14. One more unnecessary lie!

"we don/'t want to disrupts CDC's work."

"Someone at CDC tested positive."


He needs 6.4 more lies today to make his average.

[dweller]

but we can ...

17. Maybe they should bring the CDC people working on the virus to...

Mar-a-Lago to bring the 'stable genius' up to date for him magically make it go away all of the sudden. *

*CDC employees please do a lot of sniffling, sneezing, and coughing around him.**

**Prediction: The 'stable genius' never returns to Mar-a-Lago and immediately decides to sell the property to some very nice Russian folks.

[spanone]

18. CNN just reported it's back on....Someone there was suspected of having the virus....tested negative

of course the White House lied about it......but WTF did they get the test?

[mshasta]

20. he should still go.....

show us how fake this virus is...

[no_hypocrisy]

21. Go to work Donny, like your boy Kudlow said . . .

[Totally Tunsie]

22. Let's see now: Friday, weekend coming.

Must travel southward on business (touring Nashville, CDC in Atlanta) so that it only makes sense to go on to Mar-a-Loco, rather than return to DC. Isn't that his usual pattern?
