  1. Trump during February 7 phone call with Bob Woodward: "It goes through air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don't have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than your, you know, your even your strenuous flus. This is 5% vs 1%. You know so, this is deadly stuff." Three weeks after that call, Trump told this lie to the public during February 26 White House press conference: Trump: "It's a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner." March 19: Trump again talked with Woodward. He acknowledged emerging evidence that a wide age range can be gravely impacted by the coronavirus. Trump: "Now it's turning out it's not just old people, Bob. Just today and yesterday some startling facts came out. It's not just old -- it's plenty of young people," he said. March 24: On Twitter, Trump Lied again when he claimed that only seniors need to be protected from the coronavirus. Trump: "Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together," he wrote. Aug. 5: Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported over 240,000 documented COVID-19 cases in children at this point, Trump told this lie during an interview: Trump: "If you look at children, children are almost -- and I would almost say definitely -- but almost immune from this disease." He adds "They don't have a problem. They just don't have a problem." Trump knew that what he was telling the American people was NOT true. And at least 100k Americans have needlessly died because of his lies. Trump would be in better shape politically if he had been honest with the American people from the beginning. Which just proves that even when telling the truth would be substantially better for Trump, he STILL chooses to lie. Smh. That is the mark of a bonafide pathological liar. Allan Lichtman, the historian known for accurately predicting presidential elections, said that Trump’s downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic will be remembered as “the greatest dereliction of duty” in presidential history.
