The president is on tape admitting in January that he knew the coronavirus was more dangerous than he publicly admitted, yet he downplayed it to America.
President Donald Trump admitted he knew weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he repeatedly played it down publicly, according to legendary journalist Bob Woodward in his new book "Rage."
"This is deadly stuff," Trump told Woodward on February 7.
In a series of interviews with Woodward, Trump revealed that he had a surprising level of detail about the threat of the virus earlier than previously known. "Pretty amazing," Trump told Woodward, adding that the coronavirus was maybe five times "more deadly" than the flu.
Trump's admissions are in stark contrast to his frequent public comments at the time insisting that the virus was "going to disappear" and "all work out fine."
It is USELESS to provide the evidence of an ultimate betrayal..... trust. The king only has a singular purpose
and it is NOT to protect this country. It is to claim ultimate control/rulership of his empire.
Wow. President Trump in a reelection year is willing to go on record with Bob Woodward. Senator Biden? Still refuses to hold an interview with Chris Wallace.
President Trump was also nominated for a Nobel Prize by a Norwegian politician, noting that this is the first time in 39 years than a US president has not started a new war or joined a war while in office.
Plus he was also able to start Israel and Arab states on a path to diplomatic and economic relations.
Senator Biden? He did create a crime bill in 1994 that targeted minorities, locking them up for a long time.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
"This is deadly stuff," Trump told Woodward on February 7.
In a series of interviews with Woodward, "
President Trump shut down flights from China in January. He knew it was a serious threat. He "downplayed" the threat while taking actions that were considered racist and xenophobic (see previous statement) by Biden and Pelosi.
Would you have preferred that the Chinese were allowed to continue to enter the country?

"Update (1445ET): Well that didn't take long. Woodward's apparent 'gotcha' moment which is now spreading in an interestingly coordinated fashion across the MSM has been out-bombshell'd by none other than Dr.Fauci (he who speaks science truth and is above reproach).
Fauci just went on Fox News and said that President Trump "did not distort anything and acted immediately when he was presented the data."
"Birx and Redfield also testified the same thing under oath.
Fauci also disputed alleged quotes from him in Bob Woodward's story that President Trump is "unfocused in meetings" and that "his sole purpose is to get re-elected."
SEPT 15th release.....remember when I stated we are entering into a critical period,much will be revealed
and to WAIT FOR IT.....THIS is just the beginning...after the 24th the trending will be NEGATIVE for the king.
He WILL lose the tax fight,they WILL be released,these RECORDINGS will do much to provide a WALL
of resentment, his poll numbers will take a hit....his finances are ALREADY in trouble and will degrade MORE
the "quick" visit to WALTER REED,months ago,will re occur,health issues...AND almost 190,000 DEAD
and SIX MILLION cases of Covid-19.....by ELECTION 200,000 DEAD BECAUSE OF HIS DENIAL AND
DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE TRUTH....WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
The President should have addressed the country with the information about the severity of the virus when he found out about it in February. The fact that he didn't shows he is unfit for the office.
Actions speak louder than words. Stopped incoming flights from China in Jan.
By the way how did that hashtag "bring back our girls" work out in Nigeria? Did those words do anything? Answer, the only result was a lot of babies born to these girls, fathered by the Boko Haram. But I am sure you got a warm and fuzzy feeling from those words.
If Trump had, as you say he should have, addressed the nation giving us details on a virus everyone was already panicking about, it would have been decried by the left as deflecting from impeachment. As it was, he did shut down travel from China but allowed US citizens back in. He also shut down travel from Europe later on and formed a task force, implemented a plan to build respirators, put operation warp speed into motion, provided governors any and everything they needed to house and treat patients. The advice at the time from Fauci and others was NOT to wear masks and we had one confirmed case in the US. Aren’t you guys a month early for October surprises?
