Trump says he knew coronavirus was a pandemic 'long before' it was declared
President Trump
On Tuesday said that he realized that the coronavirus outbreak was a pandemic before the World Health Organization (WHO) labeled it as such last week.

"This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic," Trump said at a press conference with his coronavirus task force. "All you had to do was look at other countries."

The World Health Organization earlier this week warned that coronavirus appears to have a higher death rate than previously known, with the latest estimates at more than 3% globally. But Donald Trump isn’t buying it. The 3.4% of reported Covid-19 cases who have died, according to the W.H.O., is a “false number,” in the eyes of the president. Coronavirus, he claimed, contradicting health experts, is no more dangerous than the seasonal flu. His source for that dubious conclusion? His trusty gut, of course.

“This is just my hunch,” the president said in a phone interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity Wednesday night, as the global death toll rose to more than 3,000 and the United States confirmed its 11th death from the virus. “I think that [3.4%] is very high...Personally, I would say the number is way under 1%.”

Trump has repeatedly attempted to play down concerns about the deadly virus, including with characteristically dubious claims. But his remarks Wednesday may be his most reckless yet, sowing doubt in expert assessments and even, at one point, suggesting those with the virus can go to work while ill—something officials have explicitly discouraged in the interest of preventing further community spread. “We have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who get better just by sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work but they get better,” he told Hannity.

1. The worst person ever on the planet to place in the White House with the powers of the presidency.

2. What a lying sack of shit.

3. K&R - The videos speak for themselves....

13. Perfect

[rockfordfile]

4. He's lying

[renate]

5. I don't understand why he lies so brazenly when he knows there's tape

I’m starting to think that maybe he’s not very smart.

[FiveGoodMen]

6. Why? He never loses any of his base by lying.

[Windy City Charlie]

10. Exactly

He knows the sheep will sit there and believe anything he says....even if you have proof of it. They blow the proof off as "fake news". They've got it in their heads that Trump always tells the truth, and it's everyone else that's lying.

[John Fante]

11. His base alone won't be enough to win the election.

Gump needs a sizeable portion of non-cultists to win.

[malaise]

7. He is stark raving mad

That's my take

[underpants]

9. It's unimaginable to him that he could be wrong

and when he is, he just changes it in his mind.

[MotorCityBeard]

23. Because he knows the magic words, "Fake news"...

Show him or supporters a tape proving he's lying, just say the magic words Fake news, and it magically never happened because the media is left wing and hates him.

[Windy City Charlie]

8. Doncha know?

Don't you know, he was on top of this from the very start, and it was the Democrats that were referring to it as a hoax!

12. He knew it when it was just a pup

See he has a natural ability for this kind of stuff because he has got a good abrain and his uncle attended MIT and was considered a super genius like Lex Luther which only shows the superior genes in his family only if you exclude Fred JR who drank himself to death, some say it was because of Trump but it wasn’t, it was because he was a loser and wanted to be a pilot and didn’t have that killer instinct that Dad Trump loved to see, but doesn’t like to say so much but you can just tell by the grin on one side of his mouth.......

15. The man is sick

What is worse is that the likes of Mother's Boy are there to back up the lies.

[maxrandb]

16. He's the Nadia Commenici of presidenting... always gets a 10

If I were good with technology, I'd make a video of Nadia's Parrallel Bars routine with Donnie Dollhands head on her body.

[Claritie Pixie]

17. Alright then genius - WHY weren't you prepared??

If you knew all along, then your inaction is that much worse because you willfully did NOTHING for weeks.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Why aren't we flooding the media with commercials of him tweeting and saying

one thing and then contradicting himself with his lies after that, after crying "Fake News". Show the country what a liar he is. You can't deny what you see and hear him doing on national television.

Where is our pushback? There is so much material out there to expose him for the horrible, evil person he really is! Why aren't we taking advantage of it? I'm just so frustrated! I know his base will never believe it, but there are a lot of people out there who are on the fence and who don't spend a lot of time digging for the truth who will just take what he says at face value. Those are the people we need to win over.

[malaise]

19. See #14

Everything in time

[smirkymonkey]

20. That's more like it.

Good, but not good enough. We have to show him contradicting himself and lying about what he actually said in the earlier stages. We need to prove what a liar he is. Over and over and over again. We cannot stress this aspect of his character enough. Because it is how he manipulates people into voting for him.

[Niagara]

21. He's nothing but a pile of excrement

He can't even pronounce the word pandemic correctly. I watched him on television today and twice he pronounced it "pen demik".

This fucker lies the way others breathe

Exactly right.

22. ROFL

To be kind he's a raving lunatic
