But frankly you have no room to be criticizing anyone else for that kind of mistake. The fact is Trump never takes responsibility for anything, and said Very directly he did not take responsibility for the country’s response to this crisis.

I agree it’s inaccurate to say that Trump stated that the virus itself was a hoax. But I say again that what he said is a distinction without a real difference, and when he uses the word hoax it has a certain context and meaning to his followers
