Well, if you want to get technical, it turns out that Trump’s claim that “my administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat” was, in fact, a lie. So she wasn’t wrong.

Only the truly indoctrinated will think Pelosi tearing up a speech is somehow more important than all of the above.
And then another split screen of Pelosi and New York City officials telling people to not worry about the coronavirus and come on down to Chinatown, and especially don't miss the parade and the 10,000 people who will be congregating there. And Chuck Schumer dismissing the ban on travel from China as "an attack on immigrants." And the Decmoratic presidential candidate debate on February 25th where they didn't even mention coronavirus. And, and, and....

I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to vote for Trump again this November, but now I'm definitely going to. Because regardless of what you say about his handling of this, every leading Democrat seems to have been much worse. Do you have any evidence to suggest otherwise?

Can you technically prove that?

All right, so let's go with that logic. Let me ask a couple of questions:

+ Was Trump's slight of her handshake premeditated?

+ If he gracefully shakes her hand, does she shred the speech?

As for prepping the paper beforehand, well that just speaks to intelligence. She didn't get to where she is by being clueless. Also, she's 80 years and probably not capable of feats of strength any more. Will you be when you reach 80? I'm betting probably not.

Politically I'm a moderate who has voted both ways.

Look at Germany. Look at South Korea. Look at the US. Draw your own conclusions.

You can run that clip, and yes, Trump did say these things. However, he was being berated by a hostile media looking to hang him on something and hoping he would stoke fear. He did the OPPOSITE. The record will show that Trump did act as early as late December to contain the virus. That is a fact. Anything Dems say or do, Trump can counter. Also, let's be honest here. Do you really want Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders running this country? Bernie is deranged with a heart problem,, and Biden's mental acuity has drastically decreased due to age and major brain surgery.

It was a lie. All necessary steps obviously not taken. CDC playbook thrown out instead.

That itself is a hoax too
