Remember trump DEFUNDED the pandemic national plan It's not

[mucifer]

a question of causing panic. There was a plan. It was started under W Bush.

ANY other President would have done something.

This "causing panic" crap is so infuriating!

The media needs to report there Was a Plan and it was DEFUNDED!

1. This is the point that's been gnawing at me for awhile now, as well.

Been waiting for someone from our media to bring this up.

So far nothing!
I think Biden ref'd it in one of his speeches but I want to hear Cuomo, Lemon, Maddow, or any of our evening news hosts enter this point into the fray, & draw a timeline of when & by whom the Pandemic Team was defunded & shut down.

It's gotten to the point where this isn't even a CT anymore.

2. If the defunding happened before the interview, Woodward should have brought it up

It would be awesome if it was part of the recording.

When news stations quote trump about "causing panic" and ignore the defunding and do nothing policy they are complicit, too.

5. Yes they are complicit. Do we have to research everything for them?

No wonder he thinks he can get away with anything.
Media allows it.
Pisses me right off 🤬

3. He lied claiming he didn't want the people to panic.

He didn't want the market to drop from the bad news because it would hurt him politically , and he couldn't con people the economy was good. Just like he's using the Federal Reserve now to print up trillions, we'll be stuck with this debt, to make the markets look good for his false claims and him to look good politically. No telling how many trillions we'll be stuck with in debt from trump and the republicans this time. It'll be a lot ,more than they're telling us.

8. little word, big difference

Drump told Woodward he didn't want to cause "a panic." (noun)
He did not say he didn't want people/Americans "to panic." (inf. verb phrase)

A panic = a run on the stock market.
To Panic = to lose control, run amok, to act in rash fashion.


He was running on the "greatest economy" he inherited from Obama, which he'd driven into a recession *before* COVID. He only cares about the stock market. Do not be fooled. He lied in order to continue to pump up the stock market, American lives be damned.

4. Rec'd. Trump cut U.S. pandemic staff in China 47 to 14 -- WHY?

6. This ⬆️ THANK YOU!

All media hosts have to do is google this stuff.
Then use their airtime to report it to the millions of viewers.
It's simple research

Thanks for posting 👍

7. Another thing that's messed up is now they say Trump knew in February, ...

..but I recall seeing reports that he was told of this virus in September of 2019.

So that is another point of wtf is the real story.

There are a lot of suspicions to go with this whole virus thing & we are absolutely right in expecting the truth for once.
Remember, Trump/Putin are masters at muddying the message. That's their chaotic gift to the world.
