    You are literally quoting him doing just that.

    Will the deception from the world health organization be an adequate defense against accusations of wrongdoing? For a significant amount of time it told the public that the latest coronavirus was not contagious, and could not be transmitted between humans. Why would Donald Trump, or anyone else, have reason to doubt such an assessment?

    No, because he generally doesn't listen to experts or official organizations anyway..

    Deflections from Trump to the WHO or CDC are going to fail... this new committee will likely ensure that, which is yet another good reason for it...

    There is a significant difference between oversight, and unjustified interference and/or blatant harassment.

    Benghazi was the latter, proven...

    No. Schumer was playing politics with American lives just to make Trump look bad.

    When Trump killed a terrorist who was plotting to kill Americans, the left said he had no business protecting Americans without congressional approval.

    When Trump tried to shut down travel in order to protect Americans, the left said that was racist. And instead of getting congress to do anything, the left did nothing except blame Trump.

    Oh, and there's more.

    When Trump wanted to help out people who were financially harmed by the virus, Pelosi held things up until after Super Tuesday. That was a scumbag political stunt committed by a scumbag who is sucking up oxygen useful people could use. And then she stuffed that bill with a bunch of sh!t that had nothing to do with the virus. $350 million for refugees, are you serious? Again, the left was playing politics with American lives.

    When the virus was heading our way, what was the left doing? Hint: They were handing out impeachment pens while Pelosi tore up a SOTU speech.

    And here's the best part, while some on the left were telling people to go out and ride the subways and buses, others were being secretly briefed on the virus invasion, and guess what they did? You'd think they'd run to a microphone and warn Americans of the danger, right? Nope. Scumbags like Feinstien called their broker and sold off their stock before the other Americans who were in danger even knew what was coming. And I know some GOP politicians did the same thing, and I hope every last one of them pays.

    Finally, CA's governor wants to take advantage of the virus and use it to make CA more progressive. I guess ******** on the streets and legalizing larceny wasn't progressive enough.

    And yes, Schumer is stupid.

    If you really believe Trump's response was abysmal, then all I can say is stop listening to CNN, MSNBC, Maddowm, Joe and Mika. They;'ve been caught telling so many lies about Trump and the virus that it's embarrassing to consider them part of the American news corp.

    They should be concerned about people dying not about their hate for Trump

    Trump mentioned the virus in his SOTU speech, which Pelosi tore up. What was Pelosi doing during that time besides handing out pens and hoarding Polydent?

    , “Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”

    People really are getting fed up with the political Left's playing filthy politics while this president is trying to do what is in the best interests of the entire nation. It will be interesting to see what political price the Dem Party's increasingly irresponsible and politically tone deaf leadership is going to be for their anti-ethical antics during this national crisis when all is said and done.

    Trump said it was under Control

    Pelosi gave Trump 8 billion to fight Corona and Trump only asked for 2 Billion, like to see how he spent that money

    when republicans did figure it out, they told their rich donors first.. while playing it down to America

    the reality is, Trump thought is could make this go away by attacking the democrats and calling their concerns a hoax

    People are getting sick of Trump's trying to make this all about himself - this is a pandemic

    Trump tried to put up the "Mission Accomplished" flag early on, now he wants to take no responsibility

    the investigation will be ongoing, and will show the mistakes Trump made early on.... we need to learn from the errors of our past

    Trump supporters will see that as an attack on Trump, but if we refuse to learn from our mistakes many more people will die in the future

    How can you think our response is great when we are the #1 country with covid and hundreds of thousands will probably die? Where does the buck stop?

    Was there a Congressional investigation into the Ebola outbreak? I'm sure folks remember that - GOP supporters acted like hundreds of thousands of Americans were infected when it was less than ten. Treads from that time sure do make intresting reading, especially as some of the same people are still posting now.

    Anyway, as I was saying, were there investigations into the Obama Administration's Ebola response? Because if there were investigations into an event that caused like two deaths in the US then surely something that has already killed twice as many people as 9/11 is just common sense.
