A Timeline of Trump's Press Briefing Lies - The Bulwark

After months of ignoring and downplaying the coronavirus crisis, Donald Trump addressed the nation on March 11 from the Oval Office. It was the first in what was to become a series of briefings....

This comment is ESPECIALLY egregious. Trump attempts to give us hope, while slamming his predecessor, while accepting NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL.

And the site went down, for the EXACT SAME REASON as the ACA site went down.

Just like "some websites of the past." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/technology/coronavirus-testing-website-google.html

Coronavirus Testing Website Goes Live and Quickly Hits Capacity

The site from Google’s sister company, Verily, was rolled out to two Northern California counties in hopes of guiding people to local virus testing.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/technology/coronavirus-testing-website-google.html

And as far as drive through testing covering our nation "very very strongly:"

Trump promised scores of big box retailers would offer parking lots for covid-19 testing. There are...

While the four retailers have a combined 26,400 U.S. stores, this vision of a proliferation of coronavirus testing sites hasn’t materialized.

Here's a fun fact: the CARES act exempts any company with over 500 employees from this lie:
#HowToAmerica

Question: ARE they in "tip top shape?" Or will they SOON be?

But incredibly (not really) BOTH of those remarks were lies: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-hospital-ship_n_5e7e56f6c5b661492266fccf

Navy Hospital Ship Rushing To New York, Repairs Unfinished, For COVID-19 Crisis

Trump is planning a trip to Norfolk Saturday as the USNS Comfort puts to sea, giving him a photo op as the hospital situation in New York becomes a crisis.

This lie was the DIRECT CAUSE OF DEATHS, yet not a PEEP from the @GOP about it.

Putting aside that I'm not sure trump knows what "invoked" means, this lie is a REAL doozy considering he's been using this act to feed ICE everything they need over the usual business of companies for years now.

Which we JUST found out mind you, so he was doing it in SECRET.

Receipts for my last statement: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/us/politics/coronavirus-defense-production-act.html

Wartime Production Law Has Been Used Routinely, but Not With Coronavirus

The Defense Production Act has been invoked hundreds of thousands of times in the Trump years. But with the pandemic, the president sees it as a “break the glass” last resort.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/us/politics/coronavirus-defense-production-act.html

The only thing "mind boggling" here is that the trump administration was, at the very moment he told this lie, refusing to take GMs bid to retool their factories to make ventilators.

A lie trump himself ham fistedly admitted to just a few days later.

But not really, because he takes "no responsibility at all."

One day later trump inserted himself into Easter. Because of course he did.

We hadn't tested "more than anybody" and the few tests we DID have were garbage.

But garbage into garbage just begets more garbage I figure.

"People don't wanna accept it," because trump never banned travel from China. After talking to Xi trump issued VERY limited restrictions.

Receipts again: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/22/trump-never-actually-banned-flights-from-china-or-/

Donald Trump never actually banned flights from China or Europe. Why?

On Saturday, Italy announced that 793 people had died that day from COVID-19, the coronavirus that originated in China that has rapidly spread across the world. That was up from 627 deaths that had oc

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/22/trump-never-actually-banned-flights-from-china-or-/

Also, trump was behind the ball on travel restrictions too. Which is really the height of irony given his administration's very first act was a travel ban against pretty much a third of the "brown people" on the planet.

A) more nonsensical word salad

B) SO many people knew by then

C) South Korea was prepared

D) actually most of the country imagined you'd be a calamity. 53% of voters in 2015 to be precise

E) "I didn't have briefings, except the briefings I had." Or something like that.

Also, our CONGRESS knew. But impeachment, mumble grumble.

Then the @GOP profiteering ensued.

From distraction to disaster: How coronavirus crept up on Washington

Lawmakers have ripped the administration’s bungled handling of the outbreak. But some now wonder if there’s more they could have done when it might have made a difference.

In other words, "I take no responsibility at all, this is your fault."

I'm not absolutely certain of the timeline, but I'm pretty sure the Federalist, FOX and the WSJ, along with trump's lesser known and FAR less intellectual minor sycophants, WERE telling him to "ride it out."

At the cost of our grandparents' lives.

For money.

This ridiculous minimalism and false equivalence was less than a month ago, by a hair.

There ALWAYS a tweet.

P.S. My good friend and absolutely my peer @srosenthal13 posted an incredible thread about the justice we deserve after this administration.
