Trump and Melania test positive for COVID-19

[eddiew37]

Sigh.


What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

Did President Trump Refer to the Coronavirus as a 'Hoax'?

Trump's commentary on the new coronavirus came before the virus began killing patients in the U.S.

www.snopes.com

Well y'all surely took Trump' s hoax statements and took it to the extreme then....

Search results for query: Covid hoax

They know what they did, they know what they enabled.

You know what they say about karma.

They did what they could. You have been completely duped. I guess we could have locked everything down in Feb, much to the Democrats dismay and ruined our economy prior to knowing what was going on with COVID. Maybe we could lock it all again now to really get us into a depression If the Democrats brainiacs would have been in charge, not only would the spread have been worse because they wouldn’t have locked anything down and we would have more illegals crossing the border, but once it got bad, they would still have the country locked down.

You should be thanking Trump for his response. Democrats running this show would have put your career in jeopardy as many would have been pulling their money out of the markets. Who needs a CFP when there aren’t really any safe investment vehicles(nor capital)for the average investor.

Yes, they should have done such, earlier...like south Korea and Germany....we'd have 150000 less deaths to date...

Trump was too busy downplaying it, as he has admitted.

How many people died or spread the deadly virus because they believed him and went about their business with no precautions?

Trumpsters aren't allowed to ask -- or even THINK -- that obvious question.

One would think someone that does financial planning for a living would have a better understanding of statistics.

Even for a 74 year old, Trump's chances of dying are less than 1%. Let that sink in for a minute.

Is Vegas offering a line on trump yet? I'd like to get down

 

[G.T.]

Maybe you should address that to the Dems. They are the ones who called Trump a racist when he wanted to stop flights into the US to stop the spread of the virus.

Oh and lets not forget Pelousy telling everyone the virus was nothing and to not worry about it. She also wanted them to come out with her to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Trump took it quite seriously and he never called it a hoax. His administration got the ventilators, masks and everything else that was needed out there. Its a pandemic shit for brains. Pandemics kill once they get into a country and nothing anyone could do would have stopped that virus from getting into the US. Hell the Spanish flue killed 20 million and the bubonic plague damned near wiped out the human race.

No one could have done any better than Trump did.

Oh and you must think Americans are stupid. I, along with millions of others, saw the writing on the wall. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing long before the CDC came up with those instructions and so did millions of other.

A pandemic doesn't care who's in charge and it also doesn't care what you can do to stop it. Pandemics kill and that all a pandemic does.

Trump has downplayed this thing from the beginning and has never really acted as if the deaths are anything other than something that might make himself look bad. His karmic debt is enormous. He had this coming and I hope he is scared shitless.

He didn't down play anything. I'd say you Dems downplayed it.

They predicted. 3.2 million deaths for the US. 200,000 is a long way from that thank God.

Nothing scares Trump. He and the FL will make out just fine even though YOU hope they don't.

In his own words he downplayed it. And in your words he didn't downplay anything. Imagine fan-crushing someone that deeply? Are you in your teens? Trump posters on the walls, like Ricky?

I'm sure he did downplay it but he didn't call it a hoax. All Governments do the same when facing something like a pandemic.

Teens?? LMAO Hel no. I'm an old lady and I do support Trump.

Before this Covid mess the country was in great shape. UE the lowest its been in 50 years and jobs all across this country. We had a great economy and all that with Trump at the helm. We will have that back but not if Biden get elected.

Hell he already said he will raise taxes on some and lift CG from 21 percent to 28%. The more money a company has the more they can expand and hire. Great for the economy 28% CG won't help with that.

Then he explained his green shit. Hell if that's implemented it will bankrupt the country. No Biden isn't anyone I'll be voting for especially since he wore a wire at the debate. Nope.

I responded to a post where you said he didnt downplay anything.

Now I'm responding to a post where you said you're sure he did downplay it.

Any idea how that culty-think works, please? because it seems like a helluva drug.

I'm sure he did try to downplay it to some extent but he never called it a hoax which is what many on the left keep saying.

All Governments downplay something like a pandemic so as not to cause panic. I think that's a mistake because the more info you have the better you can react.

Don't get me wrong though. Most Americans were watching the news and many could see the writing on the wall. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing before the CDC passed those instructions and I'd bet millions of other American did the same.

Never heard of culty-think.

He's on video calling it the new dem hoax, right at the beginning. Check YouTube, then issue your retraction.

Oh so he called it a hoax and it made it to the US anyway??

I don't call that a big deal at all. Its what he did that I like. He had masks, ventilators and anything else they needed ready and made sure it got out to where it was needed. So if you want a retraction then I retract my statement.

Get real. It makes no difference what anyone says or does. If a pandemic gets into your country it kills. Calling a hoax but doing what needs to be done to combat the virus works for me.

I am the one that needs to get real?

You said he didnt downplay it, then said youre sure he downplayed it.
You said he didnt call it a hoax, then said it makes no difference he called it a hoax.

I think you're probably a nice person, so hopefully you can understand how the lack of reasoning within the Trump cult has people a little worried...the level or worship is a bit scary, to say the least.

Do you know what he did that was wrong, leadership-wise?

He promoted an unproven drug that one of his own companies has a vested interest in. So it was clear why he was doing it, and then later did it more when the clinical trials proved that the 'good results' cases were anecdotal, i.e. placebo.

The drug, after our own military's clinical trial, was shown to be more harmful than good, overall, in spite of the anecdotal positivity.

What he did was wrong. Say it aloud, and feel better.


He also cast doubt on wearing masks...he mocked folks for wearing them...caught a backlash, then called them patriotic, while still mocking people that wear them. That's called being duplicitous, and it caused many of his worshippers to begin an 'anti mask' movement, which is/was irresponsible.

What he did was wrong, say it aloud.


He also had a Press Conference in which HIS task force...HIS task force was recommending the two-week lockdowns and social distancing etc etc.

The SAME DAY, on Twitter, was saying "Free (insert state here>!" - - - because (obviously) lockdowns were bad for his economy, thus his reelection prospects ~ but again, duplicitous. Two different messages from the same Trump camp. Lockdowns are good (task force), lockdowns are bad (Trump), but look at how good my task force is!

Trump is the reason that half the Country gave zero fucks about the virus...it came right from him - - -and as a result, we had the red-state surge in the virus over the summer and that caused much more death.

What he did was wrong.

The numbers are overwhemingly on his side. My guess he will be eating cheeseburgers and tweeting during his quarantine. That is what some other world leaders were doing when they tested positive, sans Boris Johnson who did spend 3 days in the ICU.

Sometimes a near death experience can make an asshole a better person. Maybe that what it will take for Trump.

A virus that has a 99% survival rate is a near death experience?

 

[Mac-7]

Biden has never been restricted to his basement.

Biden hid in his home for 3 months and hardly traveled at all

A little CLOROX might be just the thing

Clorox is so yesterday

But trump could test out his theory, and chug a pint of Lysol!

Or maybe do nothing and just quarantine and binge watch some Netflix series as the overwhelming majority of people who test positive do. Either the left sucks at statistics or they choose to hype how deadly this virus is despite evidence to the contrary.

 

[MeBelle]

He's on video calling it the new dem hoax, right at the beginning. Check YouTube, then issue your retraction.

No need for a retraction.

What he meant by the 'New Dem Hoax' is Dems like those in NY and CA OVERPLAYED their hand and freaked out! Blamed Trump because their states didn't have enough equipment to get through Corona.
In reality, the Dem states didn't spend their Fed Emergency monies appropriately after the last health crisis (during Obama years) and didn't restock their inventory.

 

[eddiew37]

Does this development have any serious chance of altering the depth and substance of the Federal response and the Federal handling of this national emergency?

In all seriousness, I'm sitting here having trouble formulating something to say.

There are so many possible comments floating around that they appear to have formed a traffic jam in my mind.

Maybe after a little more coffee.

It's no mystery you'll be celebrating Trump has China virus all day, every day now.

Obviously this won't change conservatives' wrongheaded perception of the pandemic.

Why are you not talking about what might happen if he dies?

CELEBRATION ? World wide

I wish the President and his family well

This is a potentially fatal disease for a man his age. He needs to take care of himself

Nobody wishes ill will on anyone. Speedy recovery to all.

He'll be fine. It's a form of the common cold.

Then maybe we should spread COVID to all the MSM media and the Democrats in Congress, particular Pelosi and Schiff.

The problem is, COVID wouldn’t be thing to spread if you really wanted near death results because the overwhelming majority would not be affected to this extent.

My guess is that Trump and Melanie with both do fine. The only big concern I have is the effect on the campaign due to a quarantine.

Rich important people are often just fine while the rabble die.

Maybe you should strive not to be rabble

Seems to me the Dems gave zero fucks about the virus. They called Trump a racist when he wanted to stop flight into the country. Pelousy also told everyone not to worry. The virus was nothing and they should all come out with her and enjoy the Chinese new year. Where's your outrage over that?? I sure don't see it.

Oh and you seem to think Americans are stupid?? They were watching the same thing Trump and his administration were watching on TV. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing long before the CDC passed those instructions along and so did millions of other Americans.

Oh and I watched Snopes and from what I read Trump was referring to the Dem's hoax of an impeachment. Not the virus. That was on Snopes not a right wing rag.

Trump did nothing wrong. In fact he did a lot right from the masks, to the ventilators and everything else.

Get real.

They overplayed their hand and freaked out? They were the first hit because they're the most population dense, and being the first hit the treatments were unknown and had not come along and it was an absolute shit-show. Trump used his platform to make it about them being Blue States, which is disgusting all by itself...but even more disgusting is that instead of using them as a learning example and seeing how they did eventually come out of it, his duplicitous ass was downplaying it and his sycophants followed and then had the summer outbreaks as a result.

A virus that has a 99% survival rate is a near death experience?

It is actually much higher than that overall. It is 99% for a 74 year old. If you take into account that by all reasonable accounts, many more people have had the virus and have been asymptomatic without being tested, the survival rate is in the 99.6% range or even higher.

Lemmings have bought the media hysteria to try to get Biden elected. It is kind of funny but scary and sad at the same time that we have so many people so easily led astray in this country and around the world.

Seems to me the Dems gave zero fucks about the virus. They called Trump a racist when he wanted to stop flight into the country. Pelousy also told everyone not to worry. The virus was nothing and they should all come out with her and enjoy the Chinese new year.

Oh and you seem to think Americans are stupid?? They were watching the same thing Trump and his administration were watching on TV. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing long before the CDC passed those instructions along and so did millions of other Americans.

Oh and I watched Snopes and from what I read Trump was referring to the Dem's hoax of an impeachment. Not the virus. That was on Snopes not a right wing rag.

Trump did nothing wrong. In fact he did a lot right from the masks, to the ventilators and everything else.

Get real.

See, this is the deep mind-fuckery Trump has over his cult. Holy fuggin banana!

One of Melanias aids also tested positive and that may be how they got it.

Trump never said the Covid virus was a hoax

Biden is safe he will never get the virus, unless they finally let other people in his basement

Hope Hicks and she had it traveling with Trump to the debates and she showed symptoms at that time.

Could you imagine if the President of the United States died a few weeks before the election?

I certainly hope not.

But 2020 has been so fucked up, it would be in line with this year.

I'll be surprised if he even shows symptoms. Wouldnt that be a bummer for the left

He's on video calling it the new dem hoax, right at the beginning. Check YouTube, then issue your retraction.

No need for a retraction.

What he meant by the 'New Dem Hoax' is Dems like those in NY and CA OVERPLAYED their hand and freaked out! Blamed Trump because their states didn't have enough equipment to get through Corona.
In reality, the Dem states didn't spend their Fed Emergency monies appropriately after the last health crisis (during Obama years) and didn't restock their inventory.

They overplayed their hand and freaked out? They were the first hit because they're the most population dense, and being the first hit the treatments were unknown and had not come along and it was an absolute shit-show. Trump used his platform to make it about them being Blue States, which is disgusting all by itself...but even more disgusting is that instead of using them as a learning example and seeing how they did eventually come out of it, his duplicitous ass was downplaying it and his sycophants followed and then had the summer outbreaks as a result.

Amazingly ignorant of the actual facts and the COVID statistics. Step away from CNN and do some research.
