Trump did NOT shut down travel from China

Trump did NOT shut down travel from China - just restricted Chinese nationals. This is O’Hare airport on MARCH 15. Travelers came in from Italy & other European countries. 6 hour lines through customs, no masks, no sanitizer, no tests, no quarantines. You cannot rewrite history.

They give more of themselves in one shift than he could give in 1000 lifetimes.

Accusing heroic healthcare workers in NYC of stealing #PPE and #ventilators is an all-time low from @realDonaldTrump. They deserve our praise, and they get slapped in the face from this pitiful man. They give more of themselves in one shift than he could give in 1000 lifetimes.

"Nothing changes him. Nothing moves him unless it gives him adulation, money, or an erection."

Trump: I’m Doing a Great Job Fighting the Coronavirus, and 100,000 of You Will Die

Seriously, literally, things that Trump touches are dying, and he’s still just making shit up to get him through each day, and then making up different shit the next day.Rick Wilson:

“It was inevitable that Trump would face a crisis immune to tweets or stupid memes or insulting nicknames. The damage he does to everyone and everything around him has become an iron law of American politics, an invariable and inevitable process. Still, I didn’t think it extended to everyone in the country; that it would produce actual bodies stacked like cordwood in a preventable, slow-rolling pandemic. When I wrote Everything Trump Touches Dies, I didn’t mean it literally.”

“Donald Trump seems intent on proving me wrong.”

“Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus has veered between tragicomic and insidious in the past weeks. Disturbingly – and even now, it’s disturbing — all while still leaving him seemingly unmoved by the brutal realities facing us in the coming months. He’s made a few pro-forma nods to the deaths to date and to come, but expressed no genuine human sympathy for either the dead or the army of heroic doctors, nurses, EMTs in viral war zones in almost every hospital in the nation.”

“Nothing changes him. Nothing moves him unless it gives him adulation, money, or an erection.”

Sally Yates Asks: "People are dying & our president is reveling in his press conference TV ratings?"

Sally Yates

People are dying. Everyone is anxious, many downright scared. Healthcare workers are literally risking, and sometimes losing, their lives to care for us. We don’t have enough ventilators or PPE. And our president is reveling in his press conference TV ratings?

Trump Now Saying 100,000 US deaths would be evidence that he has been successful

Trump has come a long way from the 15-cases-but-we're-going-down-to-zero. He's now saying that keeping this to 100,000 US deaths would be evidence that he has been successful.


@ddale8
Trump, reframing the crisis, says he's now seen a study that shows 2.2 million people could've died if they did nothing, so "if we can hold that down to 100,000...maybe even less," it'd show they did a "good job."

“The Russian capital’s 12.7 million people were ordered to stay home starting Monday, with limited exceptions, in the strictest measures yet imposed in a major Russian city.”
