True, although he chose to ignore it for the last 10 months. Don’t you remember him saying it was nothing. It will disappear as the weather gets warmer. What bullshit. I believe Trump is personally responsible for half of the covid deaths. His revenge for being impeached. His life and well being is on the rocks. As for the new PresidenT the US public elected him.
You realize it was FAUCI who said the warm weather and humidity could help? If any of actually watched the briefings you guys would know most of the stuff you complain about was said by Fauci and reiterated by Trump.
But you guys dont watch anything. You wait for op eds to come out and tell you that Trump said to inject bleach....that's the extent of left knowledge on what was done regarding the virus.
The operative word is "could." Trump ran with it and made false claims all over the place. He didn't "parrot" anything. He just made up shit whenever he felt like it. I don't read op-eds. But I have seen Trump speak blatant lies hundreds of times.
So what could have been done that wasnt done and what lies or made up stuff did he say exactly?
Do you actually listen when he talks?
One of the things that could have been done is that Jared could have been prevented from holding up distribution of masks. You know he fucked with the delivery of masks to states because he was trying to make a PROFIT from people dying, right? This is fact, not liberal hysteria, like the hysteria you cons spread around based on zero facts.
Another thing that could have been done, instead of lying repeatedly about the virus going away, Trump could have encouraged people to fucking wear masks instead of encouraging them to act like fucking morons who think not wearing a mask = freedom. And he could have worked to make them available early on.
Firstly, the stock piles should not have been left empty. That has nothing to do with Trump. Whitmer put off receiving PPE in favor of some political circus where she flat out LIED about vendors not speaking to her.
Also it wasnt Trump that first stated it COULD just go away. Again, that was FAUCI. Most of everything Trump said was him saying what the task force....and Fauci, had said. I just posted a video of this, that shows Fauci saying these things.
I DO listen to Trump talk. So it's easy when people grab a few sentences to twist into another narrative(like Trump supposedly saying the virus WILL be gone by Easter, or we should all inject bleach....the examples are endless)....and when you try to correct this by showing what was actually being said, you get called a liar. It's like people are determined to believe what they want regardless if it's true or not.
If Trump is to blame for people dying of Covid, (even in far smaller numbers than first predicted) it's funny how no other leaders are being blamed. And Obama wasnt being blame for H1N1 deaths as well as THAT awful spread. The government hardly did fuck all. Because it's really not their damn job to protect our health. That's OUR job.
We didnt get a vaccine for that nearly as fast as we are getting this one, either.
States are directly responsible for making sure they have enough resources in case of an emergency like this one. And they all knew if we were hit with another pandemic they were ill prepared, and nothing was done. You cannot blame that on Trump. Hate him all you want.....but its letting those responsible entirely off the hook. Which is bad for ALL of us.
We just had a major influenza wave that was so bad some states declared a state of emergency, and many hospitals were setting up triage tents outside. They were overflowed and low of resources... this was just 2018. So why did none of these states prepare for this?
And Trump most certainly DID encourage people to wear masks. He even sells MAGA masks to his base to encourage use. He said wearing them was patriotic.
And regardless that people are arguing about how the government shouldnt be mandating it, people ARE wearing them. You hardly ever see people without them. And the case numbers rise.....and they rise in democrat states even, where you know everyone is wearing them.
It's not working. Clearly. And people are taking unessesary risks under the belief the masks will protect them.
