(58,785 posts)1. Yup. And if WE knew, i.e., people who read newspapers knew,
of course they all knew. Presumably before, and we knew very early.
Anyway, the president gets briefed first and always, every day, so we know he was.

The TV is always on

(5,526 posts)4. Of course he had access to that information
It was probably people from his admin that made the briefing.
Now whether he bothered to listen to a briefing or believe it, that is another matter.
My guess is that he believed FOX more than his admin experts.

(5,269 posts)5. Yes, all top Repubs knew but still went ahead with their CPAC conference starting 2/26th
and Trump went ahead with his Mar a Lago fundraisers weekend of March 6th. Seems many top Repubs were most concerned either with unloading their stocks and fundraising while he and right wing media were downplaying it and their business friends in media kept trying to prop up the markets advising public to stay in.
