One of the president’s jobs is to attempt to keep Americans, and, really, the world, from freaking out. Freaking out won’t help the situation. No one slammed Obama for attempting to calm fears when Ebola broke out (they did slam him for failing to have strong enough quarantines). Democrats, and the media, on the other hand, are trying to stoke fears, which is where Trump’s “hoax” comment came from
One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax that was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.â€
He didn’t call Coronavirus a hoax, he called the Dem and media response the hoax in fearmongering and slamming Trump, for making is political. And they prove him right, like here and here. Meanwhile, Trump will continue to attempt to calm things
Trump seeks to quell fear as first U.S. coronavirus death is reported
President Trump sought to ease rising fears about the coronavirus epidemic on a day when the first U.S. death from COVID-19 was reported and more cases were reported on the West Coast.
Trump said that a “medically high risk†woman in Washington state had died from the virus but added no other details about her case. State health officials, in their own statement, said a middle-aged man with underlying health problems had died of the virus.
Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers of Disease Control, tweeted later in the day that “CDC erroneously identified the patient as a female in a briefing earlier today with the President and Vice President.â€
Trump said he hoped that Americans would not curtail their daily lives because of the virus and portrayed the risk as minimal.
“So, healthy people, if you’re healthy, you will probably go through a process and you’ll be fine,†Trump added.
The president said he had put in place “the most aggressive actions taken anywhere in the world,†although China has confined millions of people to their homes, and other countries, including Japan and South Korea, have taken strong measures including closing public schools.
Wait, is the media saying they want Trump to round people up and confine them? Obviously, if he ordered that, they would slam him. This is why Trump called them a hoax.
Obviously, Trump is wrong for not scaremongering, right?
Amid global panic around the spread of coronavirus, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), called on global markets to “should calm down and try to see the reality.”
“We need to continue to be rational. Irrationality doesn’t help. We need to deal with the facts,” Ghebreyesus said Sunday during a panel discussion at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center’s International Humanitarian Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, according to CNBC.
He’s right. But, the media is always about “if it bleeds, it leads”, and looks to freak people out for ratings. And, of course, to hurt Republicans.
Meanwhile, wash your hands and do not touch your mouth or eyes. Perhaps don’t travel to the Islamist nation of Iran.
