By and large, Donald Trump and his team have responded to the coronavirus in a tempered way. Yesterday, for example, the president published a tweet, featuring photographs from the White House Situation Room, with a message about the health threat that was intended to be reassuring.
It came on the heels of a related presidential tweet from last week in which the Republican wrote, “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
“Well, first of all, every American’s heart has to go out to the victims of the coronavirus. So I don’t want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate, very malignant disease,” Ross told Fox Business Network on Thursday. “But the fact is, it does give businesses yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chain.”
For the record, when a sentence begins, “I don’t want to talk about a victory lap over a very malignant disease, but…” that sentence will not and cannot end well.
MaddowBlog If Daffy Donald Trump wasn't president he would be looking for ways to make money off of this pandemic. As president he's looking for ways it will benefit him rather than dealing with it like an actual president who knows it's his job to help and protect the American people.
MaddowBlog Human life means nothing to Trump and he will fight spending any resources on this new virus!
MaddowBlog these people are sick
MaddowBlog No, he's demonizing the hell out of China. Pompeo as you recall also declared China as America's 1 Enemy and Trump has been attacking China's trade for months with China striking America's economy in return. If anything, this makes it look like US Gov is involved in biowarfare
MaddowBlog Am I the only person who finds this assertion disturbing? Distribution lines don't change overnight. No one is going to start to build/manufacture in US because of a virus in 2020. He is insinuating that people dying could be a good business.
MaddowBlog You still haven’t fired that filthy woman with her Nager comment
MaddowBlog This cabinet is straight out of 'Mad Magazine'. VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020
MaddowBlog OMG
MaddowBlog Blood money
MaddowBlog He and DonaldJTrumpJr should go to China and give a speech of comfort.
MaddowBlog These people are bloody demons, who the hell thinks like this? We are at the mercy of monsters.
MaddowBlog I could not believe that response when I saw it and not one report about it in the media! THANK GOD for you Rachel.
MaddowBlog As one clearly should, when a possible deadly pandemic is on the rise. The bat-shittery is endless with these freaks.
