On February 28, President Donald Trump told rallygoers at the North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina that"the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus." Painting it as"their new hoax," deployed after the impeachment trial failed, Trump pointed to the small number of confirmed cases at that point and said,"And so far we have lost nobody to coronavirus in the United States. Nobody. And it doesn't mean we won't and we are totally prepared.
In mid-March, with the virus spreading fast, Trump reversed course and backed an extraordinary shutdown of ordinary life to protect health. But last week, as Covid-19 deaths exceeded 80,000 in the US, he was back to charging that people who differed with his approach were exploiting the crisis.

Opinion Yes, hopefully his strong leadership will put an end to the coronavirus over reaction. It's obvious and dispicable Dems are using the coronavirus to try to destroy America just to spite Trump.

Opinion What is up with all the spam, bot, and junk replies here? I’ve never seen so much pointless irrelevance in one place. (Other than the White House)
Opinion Smartest opinion? Oxymoron
Opinion I can't stand Trump, but don't put all the lives on him. US, being the largest 1st World country who travels as much as any country, couldn't avoid this. Poor health of US people can be blamed as much as anything. The lack of universal healthcare fails them daily.
Opinion I have no PhD. I have a dd214. A working man and not a part of the “ educated social elite” all I know is that Fauci is making money and I haven’t been able to work in 3 months. I have over $20,000 in card debt and here’s Deborah Birx sporting $2000 outfits on TV

Opinion quit giving Trump air time thats exactly what he wants, you are playing into his hands, WE all know Trump is an illegitimate potus people are sorry for electing him in 2016 and should be, l think the coronovirus death counts speaks for itself. Trump has no idea of whats hes doing
Opinion “strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from Opinion” is an oxymoron.
Opinion He’ll always be that same little dumb ass to me ❤️
Opinion CNN and the other outlets have been lying to us for the last dozen years. Let’s treat this article in the same manners.
Opinion Gates said, I quote exactly from his speech: “If we do a good job on vaccines, health and reproduction, we can reduce the world population by 10-15%. Only a genocide can save the world”.
Opinion CNN and SMART really don’t go together. Trump2020 🇺🇸
Opinion Halarious!! “Strongest-smartest, opinion” amd CNN in the same sentence. Oxymoron hall of fame worthy Tweet CNN.
Opinion He doesn’t understand there is a difference between responding and exploiting. Why? Because exploitation is his forte. This is projection in its purist form.
