    Yes indeed, Hillary and her good friends the Chinese Communist Party are now trying to spread fake news how Trump didn't take it seriously completely ignoring the fact that China and the WHO kept telling us it's all good.... don't worry about it.

    Despite this Australia and America moved to close borders before the WHO declared the Coronavirus a pandemic.... in time it became very clear the WHO is merely following the Chines Communist Party line and not acting in the public interest.

    Unfortunately valuable time was lost where scientists could have already begun working on a cure much earlier. Clinical tests would have been much closer to finalised and perhaps the scale of the economic shutdown not so severe if China & the WHO spoke out earlier.

    Within days of this the President knew it wasn’t true issued a travel banned that the left said was racist, then issued a medical state of emergency.

    that’s leadership

    It is trump's fault for minimizing this, telling everyone it was just like the flu, it will magically go away, linking it to a liberal conspiracy, blah blah blah. It took him two months to start taking this seriously. That two months will kill a lot of people who believed him.

    He tried to claim that stopping flights from China fixed the problem. That was a lie or just stupidity. It wasn't and isn't under control and wont be for some time to come.

    All of the rw crap from trump, fox, limbaugh and the like that will kill people in the weeks to come, will be properly shown in court when this is over.

    Shouldn't you be blaming the WHO? Trump acted amazingly fast, enacting a China travel ban two weeks after this WHO disinformation came out. Remember, Biden called that xenophobic?

    Here is what they said.

    Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the WHO tweeted.
    https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/..._PcMiuS4jZ2rvrgSPNI75QfRQ7yuOd2U_jUVS-379bI_E

    They said they were relying on the Chinese, that it was preliminary. and there was no CLEAR evidence. That is not a claim that it isn't contagious. It suggests that there is evidence but not convincing evidence of human to human transmission

    Try reading the report next time.

    Nice spin, but China knew at that point it was contagious. They've even apologized for going after the MD who sounded the alarm and later died. Your post changes the OP not at all. How exactly did you expect Trump to act at that time given the lies about the China Virus?

    More Chinese lies. Look, this is the place that still reveres the mass murderer Mao.

    From the OP link:

    "In addition, Caixin Global reported that Chinese officials had identified the virus as early as mid-December — but were instructed to destroy both their test results and their samples."

    You should hire on as an apologist for the Chinese. Obviously the Chinese lied about the Wuhan Chinese virus. You are nit picking their obviously erroneous and dishonest point. 13,017 deaths, at this point, say that their propaganda is wrong. They lied and they know they lied and the WHO knew they lied. Only the naive would believe that BS. The Chinese also said the US military was the ones to start the spread of the virus. You just shot your validity in the foot.

    Trump gutted his intelligence community or wouldn't listen to his own briefings. We have CIA operatives in Wuhan, have for years. They reported
    what was happening and Trump decided to ignore it or just wasn't paying attention.

    Of course China lied. But Trump decided to trust them over his own CIA.

    Trump's intelligence agencies told him not to trust the Chinese - yet he decided to believe what the Chinese were publicly saying rather than
    what his CIA was telling him. I dislike that Trump thinks he is the smartest guy in the room he doesn't believe in what his intelligence agencies are telling him.

    Stop with that. This is not Trump's fault. Don't let hatred replace common sense.

    ABC reporter Cecilia Vega asking a question to McDonalds CEO Chris Kempczinski about the dollar menu:

    "With this menu you are deeply hurting the feelings of the poor, and this is a terrible way to treat the poor, so why do you continue calling it the dollar menu?"

    Chris Kempczinski: "Because everything on it is a dollar."

    Next.

    The same intelligence agencies that actively tried to remove him from office? You saying he should trust them now?

    Yes. Unless you think you'll get better intelligence from the Chinese news services ... oh wait, that's what Trump did.

    And if you think that the entire intelligence community of the US wants to replace Trump ... I want you to think about that for a second. Because if it's that rampant, then the problem probably lies with Trump.

    Teflon Don?

    Three months from now, Congress will begin looking into why Trump disregarded the warnings of his own intelligence services and trusted the Chinese media instead. Nothing big will come of it, but this time more Republican Congressmen will be questioning Trump's actions.

    It's worse than that, much of the early market chaos was predicated on WHO excessively high mortality rates...
