President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen blasted the chief executive’s COVID-19 diagnosis Friday, claiming that the White House is to blame.

“Trump is now COVID-positive because of ignorance and arrogance,” Cohen told reporters from the BBC and his homedown Daily News.

He argued that more testing and other resources at Trump’s disposal could have prevented the spread of the coronavirus to the president, first lady and a number of other people close to the White House. […]

Cohen called the president “reckless” for not taking more precautions.

“This whole situation is tragic in that this was all preventable,” he said. …

Trump summed it up nicely in his video. Of course he could have hid in the White house until it passed but that’s not leaders do. In essence, Trump is going out to make a scared nation know that its gotta get back out there. Doesn’t mean be reckless but it does me, be not afraid.

Shut up Michael. You’re just upset because you f*cked yourself out of a job. That’s what happens when you lie, cheat, and steal. Everyone knows what a disloyal bastard you are. Nobody will ever trust you again. Now go away.

Another fact-free, anti-Trump page filler from the Paul Ryan News Channel. He has no idea what the procedures are at the White House, no medical training, no idea what appropriate procedures would be and probably no contact with the President. It would be easy enough for a reporter to find out what procedures the White House is following, but Fox prefers to repeat the secondhand claims of aggrieved liberals than do their own reporting.

The media used to save this registered Democrat, convicted felon, disbarred lawyer for the “Trump is a crook!” stories, but lately they have been trying to rehabilitate him into a reliable source.

A LOT of bad stuff would have been preventable if Trump had never hired this traitorous shyster.

This is a DELIBERATE bio-weapon attack to disable POTUS and his inner circle. We are in a battle for America's future.

Pray. Vote. Be vigilant.

yes it was preventable, if Dems helped take it seriously back in January and allowed Trump to implement things he was calling for instead of Dems speaking out about not worrying and Trump was over reacting, it’s ok to attend St Pats day events etc. And since then Dems blocking REAL helps because they dont also include pork for their pet pocket liner causes. Dems enabling spread by backing and at times creating or adding fuel to many events that would allow for spread like huge gatherings Dems approve of while not approving similar events that more Conservative or Republican folks would want (IE church etc)

The President is the president. He does not control Govs or Mayors who allowed spread over months intheir states by many ways. These leaders were mostly all Dem.

surprise, Michael Cohen, look int he mirror and yes you could have done more to prevent spread too.

the flip side is we all needto/will be exposed at some point, so spread is inevitable, but a wiser controlled spread is maybe better then uncontrolled wild fire version.

The most notable thing in this story is not what Cohen said, is that Fox ‘News’ would print it. Convicted felon, Cohen, knows absolutely NOTHING about disease prevention. His opinions on it are as useless as using a pup tent as protection in a hurricane. This means that the only reason any ‘news’ organization would print it is as a political hit job.

Fox News, your biases are showing....blatantly.

Funny, no one is saying it was preventable when NBA, or NFL players got/get it. But if it involves Trump, must be his fault.

I would like to ask Fox News managers just who it is that cares one tinker’s dam what the oleaginous Cohen has to say. This is manufactured anti-Trump news. It is also another example that Fox is hardly fair and balanced in this election.

Mr. Cohen, back in your cell and be silent.

Were any of us in prison, how would our messages and thoughts be broadcast to the electorate like Cohen’s?

The media is tripping over themselves, trying to write the worst-case scenario on the outcome of his infection. They’re hoping he dies, and I think they believe that if they write negative stories about his condition, it will come to be. They’re morons, and perverted, sick pukes.

Is he still behind bars? Amazing that any news org would sacrifice what little credibility they have left by airing an inmate’s opinions.

“Is he still behind bars?”

They had let him out of prison, cuz Covid, but he was re-arrested after someone spotted him at a restaurant and called police and they learned he had removed his ankle bracelet and violated his house-arrest...

Geeze! And Fox News uses him as a reference? A real CNN move there.
