Trump said it was one person coming from China. He literally said that. He should be dragged out of the White House for that comment alone.
Trump Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
Trump March 7: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.”
Trump's indifference, sincere ignorance, and conscientious stupidity, are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. And no amountof lies, spin, or deflections will ever change that.
U.S. intelligence officials with the National Center for Medical Intelligence issued a report in late November warning that a virus was taking root in China. Analysts concluded it could be a "cataclysmic event,” and the report was shared with the White House, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the Defense Intelligence Agency. There were multiple briefings about the report throughout Dec, Jan, and Feb for the National Security Council, and the White House..
On Dec. 31, China publicly confirmed that dozens of people in Wuhan were being treated for pneumonia-like symptoms. Three days later, on Jan. 3, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said he first learned of the spread of the virus in China at a White House briefing attended by CDC and Prevention director Robert Redfield.
Days after the Jan. 3 briefing in the White House, U.S. intelligence warnings about the threat posed by the virus began appearing in Trump's daily brief. Whether Trump read those briefings is anyone's guess. But the safe bet would be that he did not bother to read them at all. Which makes his failure even more unconscionable.
It's clear that Trump's indifference and inaction, constitutes a criminal dereliction of duty, and a violation of his oath, to protect and defend this country. Amercan lives have been needlessly lost as a direct consequence of his moral ineptitude and sociopathic behavior, and for that, he must be held accountable..
