Trump: "So here's the good news: The virus is a hoax, this will all disappear like magic, this virus is no different than the flu, I'm doing a great job, my uncle went to MIT, and we're not going to let the cure be worse than the problem." COVID-19: "So here's the bad news. I am absolutely real, magic is not. I am immune to Trump's lies and gaslighting, I can't read a calendar, so I don't know when Easter is, I can only be defeated with science, facts, and common sense, and your so called president is a criminally incompetent sociopath who doesn't believe in science, facts, or common sense, the flu is a fan of mine, and wants to be like me when it grows up. And there is no cure for me, and that's the problem."

Public-health experts have stated that Trump's early efforts to downplay the threat of the virus robbed the US of valuable time needed to prepare for what is now a pandemic — potentially costing thousands of lives.. Trump spent "two months of completely ignoring every bit of scientific advice," Dr. Ashish Jha, the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute stated in mid-March. "We've wasted two months. And this is not a disease where you're allowed to waste two months." Jha, who received his doctorate in medicine from Harvard Medical school, criticized Trump for telling Americans that everything was "under control" when it was very clear to anybody paying attention that it was not under control." "I don't use these words lightly, and it's incredibly painful for me to say it," he said, adding: "The cost of all of this is that tens of thousands of Americans are going to die unnecessarily." He went on to say: "It was wholly preventable, and not just preventable in hindsight — it was preventable in foresight. Everybody said this is how it was going to play out if they didn't act."
