Link: "Because you are talking about a potential of up to 2.2 million and some people said it could even be higher than that. You are talking about 2.2 million deaths. 2.2 million people from this," Trump said.

Since January there has been a systematic campaign by Trump and his supporters to dismiss this virus as no big deal and "just another flu" and anyone who says otherwise, be it scientists, journalists or otherwise, are accused of being part of a liberal conspiracy to ruin America's economy. As most of you know, yesterday Trump extended the quarantine all the way through April, and even admitted that if nothing was done, the number of deaths could far exceed 2 million. It's good news that he changed his mind from stubbornly insisting we will reopen the country by Easter, no matter what, but let's take a look at a few of the things scientists and journalists were mocked for that Trump has now come around on:

1) This isn't just a flu, it's much more dangerous and this is a very serious pandemic.
2) The quarantine was completely justified and is the only viable solution.
3) Easter was way, way too early to arbitrarily lift the quarantine.
4) Literally millions of Americans could die if this is mishandled.

These are all things that Trump and his supporters argued were lies and hoaxes spread by scientists, journalists and Democrats. Now Trump has pulled a complete 180 and adopted all 4 positions and his supporters will now undoubtedly follow while pretending they never disagreed with any of it. Why the hell do you pieces of **** have to make EVERYTHING partisan? Why do you attack experts one day then reverse your position the next as soon as Trump acknowledges it, then don't have the balls to admit you were wrong? Can you not put aside your hate for America for one day so we can work together? No, Trump did not cause the virus and nobody has accused him of doing that, but how he handles this crisis will determine how many Americans die, and he will be graded on that in comparison to other nations.

Now, time for Trump supporters to tell us they never opposed facts 1-4 and that suggesting so is an evil liberal lie.

It's worse than just 1-4. Trump has trashed governors and just last night accused some hospitals of perhaps selling PPE out the back door. He suggested the media "Look into it".

This guy is clearly not up for this crisis. This is why I refuse to watch the WH briefings on the virus. Yesterday we got all the information we need on the morning shows without Trump.

The list of things he and his supporters considered hoaxes and liberal conspiracies that they now believe is quite long. I do applaud him for eventually accepting the facts, but it's disgusting beyond belief that they've spent this much time trying to discredit the crisis then refuse to admit they ever did.

Add to that his obscene comment yesterday that he will have done "a good job" if "a hundred thousand" people die.
Expert Rips Trump's Claim That 100,000-200,000 Deaths Means He Did A Good Job

He's already setting expectations super-low because I think he's finally realized how serious the situation is and how hard he's bungled its handling. 100-200k dead Americans is horrifying. We launched a 2 decade, multi-trillion dollar set of wars for 3k dead Americans, but this barely gets a shrug.
 
Everyone in this story from the beginning has done 180 flip flops, often many, to include the Chinese......everyone has a different story after they experience this bug......the bug scares the crap out Humans.


Let's stop with the "All About Trump" BS.

And yet, while Dems and Trump haters were obsessed with their malicious, unsupported impeachment attacks on Trump, he was already taking steps to reduce the danger to American citizens from the coronavirus.

Another day...another attack.

yawn...

(sorry Trump haters...he'll STILL be President next year)
 
"We did one of the great jobs, you say, "how's President Dru... Trump doing?" They go, "oh, not good, not good". They have no clue. They don't have any clue... We did something that's been pretty amazing. We're fifteen people in this massive country. And because of the fact that we won early. We won early."

It's more than the setting of expectations. It's his way of making everything about Donald Trump's beautiful Presidency. He doesn't want these massive deaths to reflect poorly on him. He wants them to cast a glowing light.

Sorry dude, but it is all about Trump. He's been fiddle fu**ing around while people are dying. He places blame on everyone but himself. But you know what, I place equal blame on republicans who allowed this MORON to get elected.

As has been said before, Trump did not create the virus. His handling of it has been an F- all the way through.

Ok, so far we have:

"Everyone was wrong so who cares about how wrong he was!?" - 1

"The impeachment hoax distracted him." - 1

Let's keep a running tally. These are odd ways to defend Trump calling the things scientists and journalists have said from the beginning "hoaxes" just to accept them months later.

We have "This Bug Out Of China might well take over 50 million souls even before we count the ones taken by the Depression that it almost certainly has already launched, so lets change into our big boy underpants.".

MKAY?
 
Trump increased death toll by downplaying coronavirus crisis several weeks. Trump's worshipers just don't want to face it. What's needed to wake up those people?

Reason why I think there's CULT is that Trumpers can't even think about Trump's incompetence. They are lost causes. Believing in lies ad infinitum. Disgusting.

How many has WHO killed with their downplaying?

Arnt they supposed to be the experts?

Who Trump was following?

?
 
And yet the Democratic Party still demands we open our borders and allow every infected person in the world to come here for free medical care.
 
The greatest number of deaths are in states totally controlled by the Democratic Party. One would almost think they want as many people to die as possible so they can then blame Trump. What reason do you have why Democratic governors want people in their states to die?

Barely gets a shrug? Nearly the entire country is under house arrest and trillions spent on this - which you call "barely a shrug." :roll:

The Depression will take care of that.

The pandemic has already started it, borders are closing all around the world.

I was the first to sound the alarm on covid-19 and most Democrats on the forum responded by ranting that I was wrong and spreading panic. Ranting closing our borders was racist!!! Almost every Democrat on this forum has 100% reversed their position.

You have to just roll your eyes at the anti-Trumpers constant search for the next attack, like a caged rat scrabbling for weaknesses in the bars.

I'm done with them in a way I didn't think was possible for me.

New York City is the epicenter in the US because just a few weeks ago de Blasio was urging New Yorkers to go out more, be with other people more, even suggesting his favorite shows that they should attend.... but New York is Trump's fault. :roll:
 
the man has always lied.

his supporters are either too stupid to see it or like him lying. i think it's mostly the latter.
