Want to laugh about the 120k plus people that are dying from Covid with more to come? Do you think 40 9/11's thus far is what? Funny?
Trump at the 2016 debate to Jeb Bush " The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush. He kept us safe? That is not safe. The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton did not kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance. And George Bush had the chance also, and didn't listen to the advice of his C.I.A."
Source: Politico "Trump blames George W Bush for 9/11.
So we have a president that ignored the Intel about the pandemic and chose to lie and gas light about it for months, causing tens of thousands if not more deaths because he waited until the damage was so severe, there was no denying it. We have a president that politicizes wearing masks and the rubes blindly follow allowing the virus to continue to spread like wild fire, now in the red states. There was plenty of time to learn from New York and avoid this nightmare, yet.
Business Insider "Coronavirus: All the time Trump was warned about the pandemic."
"Trump ignored multiple warnings about the threat of a pandemic, and spent the last 2 years slashing programs responsible for handling this outbreak."
"Last year the Department of Health and Human Services conducted a training simulation about a hypothetical pandemic that predicted with remarkable accuracy, many problems the novel coronavirus currently poses."
"By the end of January and beginning of February, a majority of the intelligence contained in Trump's daily briefings was about the coronavirus." Yet he continued to lie and gas light about it.
It's an interesting article. It talks about the cuts made to the CDC. The loss of Timothy Ziemer who had overseen a previous pandemic. The elimination of the Complex Crisis Fund. Trump listened to Bolton and pushed out Tom Bossert who had called for a robust strategy against pandemics.
Chicago Tribune: "Trade adviser Peter Navarro warned Trump of coronavirus epidemic in January as president downplayed threat."
Forty World Trade Centers dead and counting? That is not keeping us safe Mr. President.
I don't think this is funny do you? Neither does the vast majority of America who aren't 45 degrees below stupid and see exactly the botched response to this pandemic and the lies. I'm sorry to some of you who are being paid to spin this. It's not working for the vast majority of America that want Trump gone in November. For the rest of you that don't want to see the truth? We'll work on getting you an intervention for a detox from a very poisonous koolaid. There is no denying that Trump botched this and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and the destruction to our economy.
