Coronavirus Thread: Trump White House Cuts All Funding For The Program Meant To Prevent The Next Viral Pandemic.

Even one of Trump's toads is getting a little concerned about this administrations incompetence. What's the matter Joe, I thought your boy had this "under control"?

At least they put all the infected people behind the plastic...

From my understanding they were actually in isolation skids originally designed for Ebola.

Who would've thought that when you elected people claiming the government can't do anything right, they set out to make sure that's true.

It's amazing how conservatives hate the government, until there is a crisis, then everyone wants the government to save them.

This is not a good sign at all. The impulse of this admin is to not tell people what's going on or what will probably happen because the president gets upset at bad news.

Trump himself is probably going to float a huge raft of lies, incomplete info, and attacks on the media/his political opponents instead of doing his job.

Like Rudy said, truth isn't truth in Trumplandia. OTOH, Trump can't just lie it away like the perfect call. Of course corona virus will come to this country. How could it not? It probably already has & nobody knows it yet. In Libertopia, there's nobody to stop it, anyway.

That woman will be fired or transferred. Or I can see Trump ordering the CDC only release statements to the public through one of his political appointees.

 

[HomerJS]

Trump how blaming the media. From I recall the CDC says its not if but when we get coronavirus. CDC also said people need to start quarantine planning.

Yet that's the fault of CNN and MSNBC. He's still trying to convince the public "nothing to see here"

I predict that today's press conference will warrant no less than 2 impeachment-worthy articles tumbling from his bloviating ass, but conservatives won't care that he doesn't give the slightest shit about their lives.

Trump is like the absolute worst person to be president during some real shit going down.

My wife religiously watches https://twitter.com/lookner and his streaming news for Coronavirus. The dude has become a legend in our house.

 

[cytg111]

The U.S. cannot allow Trump infecting people back. People that go to far away places to elect Trump are great-but must suffer the consequences!

Again, Trump has scheduled a press briefing today at 530 est on the virus.
It will be interesting to see if Trump is for the virus or against the virus?
And Trump is mad because the virus is messing with his markets.
Trump is calling the virus an never trumper.
And wants Mitch McConnell to haul the virus into congress for an investigation.
Can’t wait for that.

He must not be very confident. Usually he would go for prime time

 

[JSt0rm]

what do our resident chuds think about Trump's ability to handle a real crisis?

 

[HomerJS]

Anyone want to take a bet Trump will say something that conflicts with the CDC? I'm willing to give 2-1 odds

 

[cytg111]

Wanna bet there will be a leak at some point about Trump asking if he can throw nukes at the virus?

 

[HomerJS]

I can predict their responses...

We are blaming Trump for the virus
The media is just trying to make Trump look bad in their reporting. Trump already tried that one.

My answer to that, Trump is not responsible for the virus. He is responsible for this countries handling of virus containment and treatment. So far we've listed the many Trump fuckups and his attempt to hide the truth

I think he is planning to sue the virus.
