I really don't think he realized how bad it was going to get. Either that or Trump told him not to say anything. And then we have Trump who was briefed on it back in January. If he had any care for the American people he would have admitted we have a problem and start taking steps and working with the states on locking this thing down. He didn't want that. He knew the economy was going to go bust and then so was his election hopes. This is how selfish this man is! He tells the world that he told Pence not to call these governors back when they were pleading they needed ventilators and medical supplies. They were pleading for help so of course they were upset! Trump says only if they ask nice. I mean really??? This $#@!ing retard has no humanity. He really doesn't.
He doesn't wear a mask which really is discomforting to know wow, our President won't wear a mask even with people in the White House being infected with it! He was on Fox News indicating he didn't believe there was a shortage of medical supplies, ventilators, etc.
He kept boasting about our testing capacities, "if anyone wants a test, they can get a test" and that is simply not true especially in the beginning. Saying he placed a ban on China when in fact thousands of people got in here from China and Europe. He dismissed the first case that came in, Trump said "one person coming in from China, the situation is under control and it's going to be just fine despite a top CDC official telling the public expect more cases.
In late January, we had 5 cases, Trump says "we have a very little problem in our country", he said the same on March 5th as the number of cases grew to 25. A day later he tweeted "only 129 cases", by March 12th it grew tenfold, 1,200 cases and Trump said "that's very few cases compared to other countries". From late February to early March Trump repeatedly promised a vaccine would be coming soon despite being told by public health officials it would take longer than that like 12-18 months. The CDC test kits were flawed, he fired his pandemic team earlier on, Trump shifts blame to everyone else but himself.
He didn't act like a President should act. To care about his people, have empathy, try to help. Any other President would have done it. Be $#@!ing involved man when your country is going through a pandemic and all this man thinks about it rallies, and re-election. It's really pathetic and sad. Thousands have died and early on they do say, if we would have acted earlier, we would have saved 30,000 to 40,000 lives.
And despite his false and misleading remarks, Trump also said "I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic." I really just have no words. No words.
