President Trump, who played down the seriousness of coronavirus in its initial stages, defended the timeliness of his response when pressed by reporters

At a sometimes contentious briefing with reporters, Trump said he and Fauci had been on the same page “from the beginning” about the virus and played a video for reporters defending his administration’s response.

At the briefing on Monday, Fauci said he was answering a hypothetical question in the interview and made clear that Trump had listened to him when he recommended mitigation efforts. He has contradicted or corrected Trump on scientific matters during the public health crisis, including whether the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is effective against the virus.

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked on CNN about a New York Times report documenting early warnings issued to the White House about the novel coronavirus. The scientist acknowledged shutting the country down sooner could have saved lives, but cautioned that a number of factors were involved.

Paid reporter. Fake News

Mr President please try and have Damian Kushner help you read and understand some of this ....

Biden/Fauci 2020

Why isn’t anyone looking at the hatch act after what he did on Monday night during the press conference

CNN doesn't care about flu deaths the other pandemic, why no flu numbers? Every Doctor I talk to said this is way overblown. I have asked over 100 people if they personally know anyone with or has had Corona virus. Not one knows anyone that has or had Corona Virus.

The best thing for Trump to do is not explain. We all know that he dropped the ball and has caused a huge mess handling this crisis. His incompetents are shown all over the place, he has no idea what he is doing other than making things worst.

trump the kind of guy who would try pissing on your back and tell you it’s raining...you gotta be a special kind of stupid to believe him

An the reporters were so stupid, they did NOT realize he had set them up! Roll the propaganda videos! When will they learn!

Having watched the majority of these press briefings, I get why he went off the chains. The reporters’ questions have been so gotcha-centric it boggles the mind why ppl take them seriously as journalists. (I didn’t vote for Trump, BTW.)

Well someone didn’t realize that it’s all cataloged and digitized and that it would unquestioningly show a slower response than what his brain remembers. I don’t know who covid-19 is, I may have had my photo taken with him/her.

It was EPIC! Watch it yourself you will love it. Best one yet!

Defended? Using that word to describe his blabber makes him sound as if he was competent. All he did was confuse, dodge, and lie.

This Stut is so used 2 doing this stage acting all his life tat he doesn’t realize it doesn’t work tat way as potus. The facts r with medical professionals and actions 2 decide r with governors & they aren’t going 2 let business money overshadow public healthcare. Shut up trump

Let me remind you... it’s only going to get worse... it’s not going to get any better... BePrepared you voted for a Corrupt government... NOW DealWithIt... JeremyCorbyn was our hope... WhitePrivilege destroyed it... WellDone

Some people knows that they know , others know that they don’t but the worst and dangerous ones are those who don’t know that they don’t know ... he’s busy justifying stupidity while his people are dying.

He is a disgrace

Scrolling for tweets on the seriousness of the virus’ early stages...🧐

FakeNewsReuters

How can someone so dumb be the leader of a superpower? It amazes me, who installed him in that place.... 🤔🤔

Trump is a MURDERER!! The blood of every single American who died from this is on HIS hands! He should have taken action sooner, he should have taken this seriously from the very beginning! TrumpIsAMurderer

You'd rather that a President sound alarms every time a few dozen people on the other side of the world become infected from an animal virus? How long should the quarantines from West Nile, Zika & Ebola have lasted in the US? Can we do this every year?

You forgot because China was lying...

Reuters is now no better than Pravda or for that matter CNN the Clown 🤡 News Network. Reuter’s once the panicle of World News now nothing better than Propagandist. Hopefully they will change back to a reliable news organization but I doubt it.

那是因为老川普受到了中共的蒙骗。 川普还算不错,禁飞了到中国的飞机。 换别人会更惨。 支持川普总统!

🇨🇳🎙️💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

you mean he showed a video of the MSM doing exactly the same thing, and noted that when he did act them & several Dems criticized him for it …. Jesus, Reuters used to have a good reputation ….

Don't forget that Trump is human not god. And you the critise can't even achieve one quarter of what he had on this We should support our leaders at time like this. No body is above sickness or time like this. When is bound to happen it most happen realDonaldTrump is a great guy

This President is a master at dealing with American mainstream media. Truly is historic! Much better than Teddy Roosevelt! I just hope Americans can appreciate this man for who he is. My words don't express my excitement & respect for his talent in this regard. It's exceptional

😁😁

There has yet to be a journalist that will challenge trump ..... why tip toe around him....🤨

Calm down...everyone indicating they were calling for more action still were in impeachment mode...LyinLeft

Trump can attempt to rewrite the truth, & his senseless base may think it makes sense. But for the majority of US, we're so stunningly done with his BS! People are dying while Trump claims 100% authority for his actions, with 0% responsibility. That math doesn't work! Period!

Trump and the Philippine President are best on washing hands.

It's like he talks with his hands 👐🙄🙄

Now do how the Democrats insisted there was nothing to fear ...

This is America

I enjoy when I watch the power of Media and real democracy you can openly criticise the most powerful president in the world if you do it in any Asian countries then

Fake news, you guys are criminals. No one knew about the virus 🦠 disgrace

你们为什么不弹劾他

*Alleged timeliness

Bolsonaro, is that you? 🤔 If you wrote down Trump's and Bolsonaro's speeches on a piece of paper, it would be hard to know who said what. They're identical.

Garbage headline. Try this 'Trump, when pressed, says words that mean nothing and promises a response which he will never give.'

He makes my blood boil!

Fake news!

You are able to follow a power point presentation

Moving his hands so fast

I like the accordion in baby Trump‘s hands, and the charming music he plays.🤣

“Defended”

I can't stand watching this buffoon.
