A Running List Of The Things Trump Has Said About Coronavirus by Obrigardo: 9:12pm On Mar 28, 2020
Imagine for a moment that you, like many Trump supporters, take Dear Leader both seriously and literally.

You would, of course, reject all information originating from Fake News media, Angry or Do-Nothing Democrats, Nasty Women, Robert Mueller, the 17 US intelligence agencies, and any of Trump’s highly untrustworthy former Chiefs of Staff, Secretaries of Defense or State, Attorney Generals, National Security Advisers, current or former Ambassadors, or hush-money organizing personal lawyers. Decorated war heroes who contradicted your five-time-draft-dodging President would also be highly suspect.

July 24, 2018: “Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening.”
The Mueller Report? HOAX!

Impeachment? HOAX!

Coronavirus? What will those Democrats think of next!


If you took Trump’s advice to trust only him and to disregard everything you see or hear (especially about invisible hoaxes like the coronavirus which you can’t even see!), you are likely right now prepping to take grandma to another exciting Trump rally instead of making sure she has all her prescriptions refilled and enough toilet paper to get through the spring.

Here’s a running list of the dumbest things Trump has said about the coronavirus:

January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”

February 10: “A lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in.”

February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”

February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”

February 28: “The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus…. They tried the impeachment hoax.... They tried anything…. This is their new hoax.”

March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.” NOTE: The CDC advises people displaying symptoms to stay home and self-quarantine unless seeking medical care.

March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”

March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”

March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”

March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”

March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

March 6: “When I was hearing the amount of people that died with the flu, I was shocked to hear it… I would have said, ‘Does anybody die of the flu?’ I didn't know people died from the flu.”

March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”

March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”

Current status: As of noon March 8, 2020, coronavirus is in 30 states plus the District of Columbia. Known U.S. cases exceed 400. The death toll stands at 19.

March 9: “This blindsided the world.”

March 10: “Be calm. It’s really working out and a lot of good things are going to happen.”

March 10: “We need the Wall more than ever!”

Current status: As of March 10, 2020, U.S. coronavirus cases exceed 700. The death toll stands at 27. NY Governor Cuomo has deployed the National Guard to a command post in New Rochelle, a New York City suburb with at least 108 known cases of COVID-19.

March 11: “We’re having to fix a problem that four weeks ago nobody ever thought would be a problem.”

March 12: “We need a little separation until such time as this goes away. It’s gonna go away, it's gonna go away… But in the meantime, we want to lose as few people as possible, so important.”

March 12: “Frankly, the testing has been going very smooth… we’ve done a good job on testing.”

Current status: As of March 12, the CDC had completed only 3,903 COVID-19 tests, with US public health labs completing an additional 9,721, for a total of 13,624. Dr. Anthony Fauci told Congress on that America’s lack of testing compared to other countries was “a failing. Let's admit it.” Ohio’s top public health official estimated that the unchecked spread of coronavirus meant that 117,000 people were now infected in Ohio alone.

March 13: “When you compare what we’ve done to other areas of the world, it’s pretty incredible.”

March 13: “Five million (tests) within a month... I doubt we’ll need anything near that.”

March 13: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

March 14. “It’s something that nobody expected… it’s one of those things that happened. It’s nobody’s fault.”

March 15: “This is a very contagious virus. It's incredible. But it's something that we have tremendous control over”

Current status: US coronavirus spread continues: confirmed cases surge to 3,485 as of March 16, with 65 fatalities.

March 17: “I have always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic… I’ve always viewed it as very serious.”

March 19: “If we had an honest media in this country, our country would be an even greater place.”

March 19: “It could have been stopped, could have been stopped pretty easily if we had known, if everybody had known about it… Nobody knew there’d be a pandemic… of this proportion.”

March 25: “Nobody could have ever seen something like this coming.”

Note: Between July and August 2019, the Trump Administration ran a simulation called “Crimson Contragion,” in which a “respiratory virus began in China and was quickly spread around the world by air travelers… 110 million Americans were expected to become ill, leading to 7.7 million hospitalized and 586,000 dead.”

March 25: “It’s hard not be happy with the job we’re doing, that I can tell you.”

Current status: The U.S. now has 64,832 coronavirus cases, up from 1,301 cases just two weeks ago. 913 have died.

March 26: “I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You go into major hospitals sometimes, and they’ll have two ventilators. And now all of a sudden they’re saying, ‘Can we order 30,000 ventilators?”

March 26: “It can’t be managed by the federal government.”

Current status: The U.S. now leads the world in confirmed coronavirus cases.

March 27: “We’ve had great success over the past month.”

Current status: The U.S. now has more than 100,000 coronavirus cases. The U.S. death toll has passed 1,500. The stock market has crashed. Weekly unemployment claims just hit a record 3.3 million. Trump just signed a $2 trillion stimulus plan.

March 27: “You can call it a germ. You can call it a flu. You can call it a virus.... I’m not sure anybody even knows what it is.”

I’ll add more dumb Trump comments to this list in the days and weeks ahead. If you see any I miss, please leave them in the comments.

this man is an ignorant leader whose LIES has sent many americans to their graves.... the reason so many didnt believe in this virus being real was because of him. so many lived recklessly because of what he said, people partied and did all type of shiit because of Trump...he is solely responsible for whats happening in the US today, because if he was not so self centered, he would have done everything to warn americans and prevent the spread of the virus....now its way too late and sadly, many more will be dying.

the numbers outside of China are crazy BUT, the numbers in the US are STAGGERING!!! in just a few weeks, they turned from having almost 100cases to 100k and having the fastest infection rate of any countries out there. NY is a real mess!!!!

now is the time for the US to do what France is doing.... aka sending infected people (in need of ICU) to other cities with ICU beds available. bullet trains have been used to move patients from east of France to west where not much infected people, and alleviate the big cities with not enough ICU beds available:

Great ideas
What I want to see is a massive testing scale that will cover every household in every city. Call for volunteers to sign up for testing people's and give them kits, send all out to all cities, towns, suburbs and do massive testing.

sadly, as much as testing EVERYONE is the only way to know the scale of this coromadness, there is NOT ENOUGH KITS available for that. so far the only country who has enough test kits to do that is GERMANY who is testing 500K people per week while in France, they can only manage 10K per week because of lack of testkits... the major LICENSED Chinese companies that create and sell these test kits are saturated, too much demand!

Germans got a head start in these test kits thanks to a German company called TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH who manufactures these kits but they aint cheap (160Euros per kits) while the chinese version costs less than a third of that.

trumps ego and selfishness cost America the chance to ride along with Germany. Didn't he reject the WHO test kits? And did we ever hear any deal he made with the German test company or was it vaccine or so? So many news lost in cycle

It's all about his re-election. Unfortunately, his selfishness would send hundreds of Americans to grave
