It's the first time we have actually seen a very public display of him silencing an expert who contradicts his own claims. It doesn't leave much to the imagination as to how much this goes on behind closed doors.

A recent CDC projection estimated that the U.S. coronavirus epidemic could infect between 160 million and 214 million people over a period of more than a year — and kill anywhere from 200,000 to 1.7 million people in the country.A top CDC disease modeler presented the estimates to CDC officials and epidemic experts during a conference call last month, the New York Times revealed on Friday. The scenario did not factor in the efforts now underway to address the epidemic, but rather what could happen if no action was taken to slow the spread of of the disease.

Hmmm... Pretty sure Trump was still calling it a political play by dems/media when governors started implementing all the things we're doing. Don't try to give Trump credit for that.

More dead than should be. Dont you get it? He has literally killed people with his actions. let me repeat HE HAS KILLED PEOPLE. The death toll would be less with a true leader.

I see. The Wingnuts can blame all things Virus on our President but when real Americans give him credit for anything, you poo poo it and want to spread the credit around.
He is finally doing some good things. But I think asking people to try and rationalize that a day late and a dollar short is a good thing is expecting them to stretch things a bit.

Well we all know he was informed back in January and knew it was coming. I mean if you actually believe he is smart enough to listen to anyone that knows what they're talking about.
Infectious disease doctors knew.

Wingnuts? Real Americans? Ass Backwards much? Bro the trump aid is leaving holes in your brain like swiss cheese. The virus is not his fault, his handling of it is 100%. He has failed America. Everyone sees that.
How about this thought. I truly believe any other president would have put together a panel of world leaders for a combined think tank of how to handle this globally. That isnt even remotely anything trump would consider. He would have to listen to other people. It is sad that we cannot help lead the world in this crisis because we dont have a leader.
Ohio lawmaker says she'll press crimes against humanity charge against Trump over hydroxychloroquine promotion
Ohio state Rep. Tavia Galonski (D) said that she will make a “referral for crimes against humanity” over President Trump’s promotion of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the novel coronavirus, despite its unproven benefits and lack of long-term Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
“I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been to The Hague. I’m making a referral for crimes against humanity tomorrow,” Galonski tweeted late Sunday.
“Today’s press conference was the last straw," Galonski added. "I know the need for a prosecution referral when I see one.”
Galonski, who represents the Akron area, told the Ohio Capital Journal on Sunday that she had "no idea” how she would go about such a referral.
“How hard can it be?” Galonski, a former magistrate in the Summit Count Common Pleas Court added.
Trump has repeatedly promoted hydroxychloroquine, which is approved to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, as a potential treatment for the coronavirus, which the FDA said last week has led to a shortage of the drug.
At a press briefing late Sunday, the president recommended the drug despite limited evidence of its efficacy in treating the virus, saying, "What do you have to lose? I’m not looking at it one way or another. But we want to get out of this. If it does work, it would be a shame if we didn’t do it early."
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci has reportedly been at odds with White House trade adviser Peter Navarro about promoting hydroxychloroquine and said Sunday that its benefits remain largely unknown.
"The data are really just at best suggestive. There have been cases that show there may be an effect, and there are others to show there's no effect," Fauci said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "So I think in terms of science, I don't think we could definitively say it works."
Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton has asked residents of the state not to seek hydroxychloroquine prescriptions unless they have a medical need. The state Board of Pharmacy has also implemented an emergency rule restricting access to the drug after a wave of stockpiling by Ohioans following Trump’s comments.

On the same day Dolt45 said this: March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.
A day later, on March 11, the WHO declared the global outbreak a pandemic.
We had MONTHS to prepare. When scientists, doctors and epidemiologists were trying to raise the alarm, the hollowest drum with the loudest pulpit was banging his message to America that it was no big deal. Now, a smarter politician might have played it like that for the cameras, but he would also have been mobilizing every asset available to get in front of this thing as much as possible. Not Trump. He continued on, believing his own propaganda, and selling lies and distractions to his followers.
Why did he do it this way, instead of leveling with America, like every other POTUS when beset with disasters? Because salesmanship is the only game he's ever bothered to learn, so it's his only play now.Lying about things is like breathing to him... essential- and the way things are routinely done. He does it this way because he's always done it this way. For him, there is no "other way."
He's a one-trick pony, and his one trick isn't equal to the situation at hand. This crisis calls for serious, substantial people. Not a reality TV star and bankrupt casino owner (how does one even accomplish such a thing?).
Yes, It was brilliant of Trump to allow the Governors to be in charge of their own States while he lead from the top.
50 ideas coming his way at all times while together they fought this war for American lives.
The great Governors like Governor DeWine, who focused on that fight were his greatest asset.
Other Governors, who chose to play politics, using the virus to their advantage, risking the lives of their citizens, will be held accountable by the survivors.
Detroit Dem says Trump's touting of hydroxychloroquine helped save her life
A Democratic state representative from Detroit has recovered from coronavirus and she says it was the combination of the drug hydroxychloroquine and President Trump that saved her life.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett's husband is an engineer at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and the two believe they were exposed to COVID-19 through his job.
Whitsett said she started experiencing shortness of breath, sinus issues, and swollen lymph nodes and tested positive for the virus on Monday.
Her doctor prescribed hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to prevent and treat malaria and also used to treat lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and medical conditions.
Trump has touted the use of hydroxychloroquine during his daily coronavirus briefings despite push back from health experts who warn that the drug could potentially be dangerous and its effectiveness against COVID-19 hasn't been proven.
"It has a lot to do with the president ... bringing it up," Whitsett said in an interview with the Detroit Free Press. "He is the only person who has the power to make it a priority."
Whitsett began taking the drug in combination with antibiotics on March 31 and said she started receiving relief in "less than two hours."
Asked whether she thinks Trump may have saved her life, Whitsett said: "Yes, I do," and "I do thank him for that."
Trump tweeted at the freshman lawmaker on Monday saying "Congratulations to State Representative Karen Whitsett of Michigan. So glad you are getting better!"
Whitsett's husband is still awaiting test results from his COVID-19 exam.

I keep saying it and its 100% true... facts do not matter to the Trump disciples.
Lucky for us, now its 'Kushner got this', at least he's a professional in the right field.... oh hang on ....
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Facts DO matter, no doubt. Some, on both sides, ignore them. Some, on 1 side, want to blame Trump for everything. When he banned travel from China, he was a racist, and xenophobe.
But, I suppose somehow ignorance on the part of mayors and governors is Trumps fault..... Like, the mayor of NO saying they had no clue covid was transmissible by air.................there was also another mayor or governor that said basically the same thing. I don't remember who, or what party.
NY has 'stockpiled' vent's, yet doesn't use them, yet says they need more............it just goes on and on and on, and all the dimwits blame Trump. Not one iota of blame has gone to governors even though to this date, there are states that don't have a stay at home order.
Florida stayed 'open' for spring break, despite how dumb that was...............damn, the list goes on and on....but, yeah, it's trumps fault. Couldn't beat him in the election. Couldn't beat him with impeachment, so blame the coronavirus on him - actually I should say his reaction. Sad how low some will go. In 2017, Fauci said a virus will mess this country up.......

Next time we have a foreign attack on the country, we will just rely on the governor of the state to call up the national guard to take care of the problem. The Federal government is just the back up...
Pretzel logic.
I present the preamble of the US constitution...
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
what about "common defence" and "general welfare" don't you understand.

I wasn't aware this was an attack on our country. I thought it was a virus. Are you insinuating the Chinese planned this?
Do you remember the outrage when someone tried to ban travel to/from China? I guess not.
Asking mayors, and governors, to do their part in stopping this is just dumb, right? Just like asking the gov. of Louisiana or the mayor of New Orleans to act.......hell, it always comes down to the president, yet if he bans anything, the anti's bitch about that.
Couldn't beat him in an election, couldn't get rid of him with a near 50 million dollar impeachment proceeding......dammit, you gotta get him on something, right?
How'd O do with the flu?
Why the hell is everything political with some?>??????
All what I will say is that I would not have responded to you in the same manner, even if you had written the reply.
There are a couple of things that have become obvious during this time. Perhaps the most important is that when there is a time of crisis, we don’t want optimism, we want facts, as difficult as it may be.
This crisis is beyond the control of a mayor or governor. That is why we have pleas for assistance. For the Federal government to say, tough [censored], it’s your problem, deal with this yourself is insensitive, un empathetic, and ultimately wrong.
It is in our culture, we are taught that in a time of war or crisis, to put political preferences aside and pull together and help you fellow American. Some cannot put politics aside, and that unfortunately includes the President.
Televangelist Kenneth Copeland 'blows wind of God' at coronavirus and claims pandemic is 'destroyed' in sermon
Alex Woodward The Independent April 5, 2020, 3:46 PM EDT
American televangelist Kenneth Copeland, who recently claimed that the coronavirus pandemic will be "over much sooner you think" because "Christian people all over this country praying have overwhelmed it," has summoned the "wind of God" to destroy the novel coronavirus during a recent sermon.
Before blowing at the camera, he said: "I blow the wind of God on you. You are destroyed forever, and you'll never be back. Thank you, God. Let it happen. Cause it to happen."
Leading a chant surrounded by members of his church and preaching to an empty room, he called out: "Wind, almighty, strong, south wind, Heat: Burn this thing, in the name of Jesus. I say, you bow your knees. You fall on your face."
In a sermon last month, the pastor "executed judgment" on Covid-19, which he declared "finished" and "over" and made the US "healed and well again." He also demanded "a vaccination to come immediately."
His Texas-based Kenneth Copeland Ministries megachurch previously has claimed that viewers of his show can be healed of the virus by touching their screens, and he has urged viewers to continue paying tithes despite losing their jobs amid unprecedented unemployment claims within the last several weeks.
He also has compared the virus to the flu and suggested people who attended his services could be healed in person.
"If we have to pass out thermometers, if we find one with a fever, let's get him healed right there," he said. "What do you do if you get it? Big deal."
The pastor, who supports Donald Trump, also argued to his followers that the president's opponents had "opened the door" for the virus with their "displays of hate" against him.
Several other prominent evangelical leaders in the Christian right, who rely on miraculous healing in their ministries, also have denied the pandemic in addresses to their followers.
Florida Pentecostal pastor Rodney Howard-Browne held several services in packed churches despite warnings from health officials and doctors to avoid large gatherings to prevent spreading the disease, which he called a "phantom plague" before his arrest for violating social distancing rules.
Roy Moore, who launched a failed bid endorsed by the president for a senate seat in Alabama, has defended Louisiana pastor Tony Spell after he was charged for continually shunning a statewide ban on large gatherings.
Mr Moore told his followers it's their "duty" to continue attending church services despite the pandemic.
