The fake news came from the left-wing media, not from President Trump.
Feb 7 + 19, “when we get into April, in the warmer weather—that has a very negative effect on that, and that type of a virus.”
Feb 27, “It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle—it will disappear.”
March 23, 24, 29 deaths by suicide “definitely would be in far greater numbers than the numbers that we’re talking about”
March 2, Pharmaceutical companies are going “to have vaccines, I think, relatively soon.” (Relatively, sure...)
March 6, “Anybody that needs a test, gets a test. We—they’re there. They have the tests. And the tests are beautiful.”
March 12, “If an American is coming back or anybody is coming back, we’re testing,” Trump said. “We have a tremendous testing setup where people coming in have to be tested … We’re not putting them on planes if it shows positive, but if they do come here, we’re quarantining.” (Nope)
March 17, “I’ve always known this is a real—this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic … I’ve always viewed it as very serious.” (Even when he called it a hoax!)
March 20, “We have a lot of people working very hard to do ventilators and various other things.”
The truth: Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Peter Gaynor told CNN on March 22 that the president has not actually used the DPA to order private companies to produce anything."
March 21, "Automobile companies that have volunteered to manufacture medical equipment, such as ventilators, are “making them right now.”
March 24, The United States has outpaced South Korea’s COVID-19 testing (Hardly)
March 24, Trump also repeated a claim from the Gateway Pundit article that Cuomo’s office established “death panels” and “lotteries” (The 2015 report talked about triage in a situation like this. It was just a report about options in a crisis)
March 26, " This kind of pandemic “was something nobody thought could happen … Nobody would have ever thought a thing like this could have happened.”
The truth: Experts both inside and outside the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a devastating global pandemic.."
March 29, “a lot of equipment’s being asked for that I don’t think they’ll need,” referring to requests from the governors of Michigan, New York, and Washington.
March 30, items that might be “going out the back door,” Trump said on two separate days. He also said he was not talking about hoarding: “I think maybe it’s worse than hoarding.” (Nope)
That is not all of the lies. I avoided the ones that would result in excuses. We'll get excuses anyway, but I'm lazy, wanted to keep the BS to a minimum.
