President Trump, in his words, on virus
On May 26 we reached a “Memorial Day Milestone,” as 100,000 people in the United States died of COVID-19. This is more Americans than were killed in the Vietnam, Korean, Afghanistan and Iraq Wars combined.
May 11: “It is unbelievable that President Obama criticized me for the coronavirus virus response. He had eight years to prepair (his word) the next president for a pandemic and he failed. I have done a tremendous job. There are still more people alive than dead!”
May 13: “He (Dr Fauci) wants to play all sides of the equation. I was surprised by his answer, actually, it’s not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools.”
May 14: “We have the best testing in the world. Could be that testing is overrated. Maybe it is overrated. When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing we would have very few cases.”
May 15: (Nurses) “Running into death just like soldiers running into bullets is a beautiful thing to see.”
May 15: “The U.S. will reopen with Operation Warp Speed, this means big and means fast. Vaccine or no vaccine we’re back and we’re starting the process. Not everybody’s going to want to get it.”
May 16: “Prior to the Plague floating in from China, our Economy was blowing everybody away, the best of any country, EVER. We will be there again, and soon!”
May 17: “Doing really well, on solving the CoronaVirus situation (Plague!). It will happen. I am proud to announce that the United States will donate ventilators to our friends in India.”
May 18: “A lot of good things have come out about the hydroxy. I happen to be taking it right now. I think it is good. I’ve heard a lot of good stories. I’ve been taking it (hydroxychloroquine) for the last week and a half. If it doesn’t work, you’re not going to get sick and die. What do you have to lose?”
May 19: “When we have a lot of cases (1.5 million), I don’t look at that as a bad thing, because it means our testing is much better. I view it as a badge of honor, really, it’s a badge of honor.”
May 21: “I tested very positively in another sense so-this morning. Yeah. I test positively negative, right. So, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative.”
May 21: “People say that’s (second coronavirus wave) a very distinct possibility. It’s standard and we’re going to put out the fires. We’re not going to close the country. We’re going to put out the fires. Whether it’s an ember or a flame, we’re going to put it out. But we’re not closing our country.”
May 22: “The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important places essential places of faith to open right now, this weekend. If they don’t do it, I will override the governors. America, we need more prayer, not less.”
May 25: “Finished, just finished (hydroxychloroquine) and by the way I’m still here. Frankly, I’ve heard tremendous reports about it. Many people think it saved their lives. You had a study in France, you had a study in Italy that were incredible studies.”
May 26: “This is so unfair to me! Everything was going great. We were cruising to re-election!”
When all else fails, blame China and Obama.
