President Donald Trump acknowledged the “deadly” nature of the coronavirus earlier this year in a series of recorded interviews with the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward, even as the White House sought to dismiss the disease’s threat to Americans amid its initial outbreak across the United States.
Woodward conducted 18 on-the-record interviews with the president between last December and July to gather material for the veteran journalist’s forthcoming book on the Trump White House. “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down,” Trump said in a March 19 interview. “Because I don’t want to create a panic.”
The new interviews include a variety of other explosive statements from the president on issues of racial justice, foreign affairs and national defense — with Trump revealing that he had “built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before.”
The news media did a lot of downplaying, but you're all still cool. 🙄
The biggest problem here is that you think the American people need a President to tell them that a virus that was killing people, at the time he was supposedly down playing, it kills people!! We're smarter than that.....
Forget about seanhannity and LiarInChief traitorInChief Racist in chief! Info commercial, State TV propaganda , Please pass it on ! This is very important question need 2 be answered, We know this for sure TrumpLiedAmericansDied TrumpDeathToll200K
Certified lier. You can not call yourself religious and support this racist lier. Just can’t.
Trump intentionally and deliberately played down the seriousness of the threat of COVID19! And Americans died!
By not telling Americans, covering Covid up from affecting the stock market, his business & golf! Trump shipped PPE to China while American Citizens, First Responders and Hospital Staff left UNPREPARED!! 190,000 dead Americans!
Donald Trump, stands accused of putting Americans in danger. How many of this 180,000 Americans would have not died? We may never know. He knew. He knew the viral was airborne; and he knew it was deadly. Since February 7th he knew. We will never know how may we could have saved.
The most corrupt so called president ever!! REMOVE!!
Every sane American should be demanding Donald Trump RESIGN NOW. Pass it on realDonaldTrump
Being a stone cold loser must be hereditary, his excited German grandfather didn’t do his mandatory military service so they deported him and then he died during a pandemic. Trump is just carry on his families legacy.
TRUMP IS INCAPABLE OF LEADERSHIP AND NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE NOW!
But he said it was a hoax.
Trump defended himself today, emphasizing the notion that he was trying to prevent panic. He called Woodward's account 'just another political hit job' and said he was acting in the country's best interest, calling himself 'a cheerleader for this country'
fact President takes the weight of America on his shoulders, speaking confidently and calming America as he scrambles Teams to prepare for the worst. Global PPE shortage Hospital intake planning Emergency Hospitals Uninterrupted Food supplies. Accelerated Treatments and Vaccines
Way-back machine , thanks Youtube
And..the Repubs in Congress knew it! Also still know it & are offering an anemic bill to support the American economy. Shame on them.
Typical trumper used to play dump to excuse Trump behavior. Since this morning tapes, suddenly he/she became deaf.
The main point of the Woodward interview was that Trump KNEW the virus was airborne and very contagious. And Trump downplayed wearing a mask. THAT IS CRIMINAL!
So why didn’t Congress put Trump to testify? Reagan and other Presidents were asked to testify and the complied, what’s so special about Trump? He would pretend all of a sudden he got memory loss!🤬

He knew! Kushner team member said:b/c virus had hit blue states hardest,national plan was unnecessary & wouldn't make sense politically.'The political folks believed b/c it was going 2B relegated 2 BLUE states, they could blame those gov.'s & would B effective political strategy
A plastic bag can be deadly... circumstances matter!
There you go that’s why he did the Travel Ban on 1/30/2020 way before he was interviewed by Bob Woodward. While you were calling him racist he was protecting the American people. He knew it was deadly and did not want to cause panic.

Bob Woodward blew his load in the Nixon administration. No amount of FakeNews media supplied Viagra will get it back up.
Q: Why did President Trump sit for 18 interviews with Bob Woodward? PressSec kayleighmcenany: 'He's the most transparent president in history.'
Tired of Trumps lies & destruction of USA? Bullying? Corruption. Spreading hatred. Vote him & his enablers out of office. Do NOT let them SILENCE your vote: vote out Trump, McConnell, Jordan, Nunes, Collins, Ernst, Perdue, Gardner, Tillis, etc.
He’s gonna face some bad karma. TrumpKnew
Why does the president hate Americans so much? 😟
CoVid was over when Dems burned down Minneapolis. THINK. If we have deadly contagious virus, why wouldn't Dems+Media+Fauci immediately demand cease to riots/looting/protests/burning? Why would Dems put minority communities in such danger? They remained silent for months.
Was he supposed to start a panic or something? This is the weakest one yet.
Omg
Recently I received an online notice that I have been put on the Trump 2020 enemy list of internet politicians. They're monitoring me over at the White House. My followers and I will always stand up for what they hate, the truth! Follow Stay Updated / Keep Watching Big Brother
If this reality show host can lie about a lethal virus, he'll lie about a nuclear attack.
It's more than 50 times deadlier than the flu, Trump is insane. TrumpGOPgenocide
