It's harsh to say Trump is responsible for the deaths, BUT he ...


definitely didn't take it seriously. Even Trump admitted that he "downplayed" the virus to give Americans hope.

We can debate Trump's motives lying to Americans regarding the threat, scope, and containment of COVID-19 ... more likely, he didnt listen to his advisors / intelligence community. He just didn't get it. Whatever the reason, Donald Trump screwed up. The delay in response AND continued lies about containment (as late as 3/15) put Americans at risk.

Let's not forget, Trump called Washington Governor Jay Inslee a snake on 3/6 when he criticized Trump for downplaying the virus. It was around that time the American public became aware COVID-19 had breached the American mainland.

We're beyond the point of accusing COVID-19 as a democratic political agenda. You can tell from Trump's tone yesterday that this is real and he's deeply concerned. He knows we are woefully unprepared as the infections peak later this month. Trump finally gets that a lot of Americans will die and our economy won't start up again until the virus is contained. It won't be Easter ... but more likely at the earliest late May / early June according to the Task Force's charts.
