Troye decided to speak out after resigning from her post in August. The White House has described her as someone who was fired and is now disgruntled — a claim Troye denies. "Starting from calling it a hoax, to telling Americans this wasn't real and perpetuating false narratives — that was dangerous," Troye said."It had a significant impact on how Americans would perceive the information coming out of the White House."from COVID-19 — the most in the world. Despite having less than 5% of the global population, the U.S. has suffered more than 20% of COVID-19 deaths worldwide.
"There were numerous discussions on ways that we were going to slow the spread of the virus with the mask being the most basic critical aspect of it," Troye said."We knew that it spread through aerosol early on. There were a lot of unknowns about the virus, but we knew that wearing a mask was going to be critical."
When asked how Trump might have undermined the fight against COVID-19, Troye said the president failed to provide leadership.
You just figured that out? His senile mentality is almost as blinding as his racist remarks.
NPR roots for illness and death of Americans. Nice!
Oh my god npr. I’ve lost count but it’s roughly 25-0. Trump bash debate article to criticism of Biden articles. Come on. They aren’t wrong but it’s bias
Thank you for your outspoken support of US democracy. Listening to NPR during my commute gives me hope.

lord, not her again........ wtf, slow news day guys?
She is a known liar
Fake news
The president preaches the opposite of the experts for the ratings .
You mean he was lying? Well I never....
When lying is second nature, the first involuntary thing that comes into his mouth is a lie. Regardless of the context, topic or place.
The general public should have paid attention to what was happening in Italy when the Covid-19 was rampant there. The carnage was all over the international newswires. It was the first Western nation to be slammed by the outbreak.
These 'complete opposites' are actually Dictator Lies. Often the opposites are just as true as the science. The deceit is not factual deceit.
Fauci disagrees.
This is demonstrably false. NPR is fraudulent.
Experts? In what, politics?
Awesome, because the experts have been wrong about everything.
That is at odds with what Dr. Fauci has said publicly. Who's doing your research, NPR? Or are you just digging as deep as finding one person to disagree and then stopping there? Clearly you are disciples of Adam Schiff.
Anyone working in a hospital could have told you that.... 45 Lies, lies, lies.
Germany went from 4.7 to 5.5 unemployment rate at the same time we went from 4.4 to 14.7. It’s because of Trump.
Never Believe in Trump!
That should say something.
Another fired nobody strikes back.
Horrible reporting. Can you not help yourselves?
