President Trump knew the truth and lied to Americans about the severity of COVID-19. How could he risk the very lives of his supporters with rallies where people were encouraged not to social distance and not wear a mask? Trump admitted to Woodward he downplayed coronavirus threat in early days of outbreak President Trump admitted to journalist Bob Woodward in March that he publicly downplayed the dangers of the coronavirus as it silently spread around the world, hoping to avoid a panic even as he recognized how "deadly" the virus could be. Woodward interviewed the president for a total of nine hours for his new book, "Rage," and audio clips of the recorded interviews were published by CNN and The Washington Post on Wednesday. In an interview with Woodward on February 7, Mr. Trump said he had recently spoken to Chinese President Xi Jinping about the virus, calling it a "tricky situation." The president said the coronavirus was "more deadly" than "even your strenuous flus," and difficult to address because "it goes through air."... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-bob-woodward-coronavirus-pandemic-threat/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sep 11, 2020 by Tweety I was with a patient and saw Fox News defend him. They said Democrats called his early action "racist" when he banned flights from China and downplayed it themselves. They said had he sounded the alarm loudly the mainstream media (of which apparently they are not a part of) would have been against him and hysterical causing widespread panic. Bottom line is Trump supporters are undeterred in their support of him no matter what he does or says. CNN covered the story endlessly today. Fox's main headline over at their website is about Biden and whether or not he used a teleprompter to answer questions. The President is denying he mislead the public. Again he can just make up his truth in spite of recordings. and evidence to the contrary and people believe him. Edited Sep 11, 2020 by Tweety 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sep 12, 2020 by Horseshoe Honesty clearly doesn't matter to his supporters. They only care if Democrats lie. It's a staggering hypocrisy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's always impressive that Trump supporters can't identify a Trump lie to save their lives but they are acutely aware of any and any liberal utterances that could be considered inaccurate or untrue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apr 5, 2021 by toomuchbaloney Case in point. Chris Christie, on THIS WEEK with George Stephanopoulos called Biden a liar several times. After 4 years of relentless Trump lies that literally killed people Mr Christie couldn't apply that word to Trump... but less than 100 days into the Biden presidency the plump pontificating partisan has found the courage to speak out about lies. Bwahahaha 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apr 5, 2021 by amoLucia toomuch - why was it necessary for you to point out Christie's 'plumpness'?!?! Fat-shaming and/or discrimination is still alive, so it would seem! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat-shaming and/or discrimination is still alive, so it would seem! My apologies. It was the first adjective which came to mind in my alliteration. I forget that everyone isn't simply numb to insults in the era of Trump. Let's go with peevish instead, now that I've thought about it for a moment. Yeah. That's a better word. Thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
