First, Acosta and Cooper are beyond any parody can achieve in the level of self-unawareness.

Second, anybody thinks US is willfully unprepared for pandemic can THANK Obamacare.

Looking at you gov. Cuomo, who complained “It is unbelievable to me that in New York State, in the United States of America, we cannot make these materials, and that we are all shopping China to try get these materials, and we are competing against each other ...”

To refresh your memory, Obamacare levied a huge taxes on medical equipment manufacturing here in the US. What do you think would happen? Why wouldn’t THEY foresee this kind of shortage on medical equipment and complete reliance on foreign entities? Yes, even after Trump took over for more than three years.

And about that ‘warning’ that Trump should have known. Cooper might be referring to the military war gaming on pandemic in 2019. Military war game all kinds of scenario for their preparedness. How can Cooper and Acosta now blame Trump for “knowing a pandemic would happen in advance yet not prepare for it”? Did they ever blame Obama on the swine flu in 2009?

Huh, if being wrong should induce humility, then Acosta should be the humblest guy in the world. He’s far from that, so there goes his theory.

Trump said this would be over by April?

It is not even a full week into the month.

And the President said he was HOPEFUUL that it would be over by Easter, which is next week. Hopeful is not the same as it will with certitude.

Not to quibble, but that is exactly what Acosta is doing.

In fact, you would think Acosta would be humble for being wrong so many times!

You’d think that Jim Acosta would be humble after being ignored by so many Americans.

Mr. Acosta, good Americans do not think like you. Not at all.

Mr. Acosta, good Americans despise your questions, your comments and your behaviors.

Mr. Acosta, to good Americans you are an enemy of America.

I am not an expert but, Congress is the body that holds the purse strings, holds hearings to suss out what’s going on in the country, then writes a spending budget.

Said budget is sent to the Senate for a period of sober second thoughts.

President spends the money.

Progressives are constantly fighting and blocking the President

yup, even AOC and the sqaud missed the empty shelves. Also, never came up in the debates

CNN and Acosta may not be humble for being wrong soo many times.

CNN and may be Acosta are certainly poorer after paying off Covington High and Nick Sandman

The goal in life of this piece of $hit is to say as many times as possible that Trump is wrong.

Either way ..its a helluva way to go through life

These phony journos make a living off hindsight. Obviously in a rapidly developing and changing situation, leaders make their best estimate based on what is known at the time, and will inevitably refine and change estimates as information develops. It is dishonest of them to cherry pick a statement from the opening days and pretend it was wrong because the situation has evolved.

Trump should make clear to the public, in his answers to these people, that what he said and did was based on expert advice at the time, and as the situation changes, his position will change accordingly, again based on latest advice of the experts, which will change as facts come in.

Naturally the “experts” are not prescient either, but there is no virtue in blaming them. They do the best they can as does Trump.

Trump is dominating the news 24/7 without spending a dime.
Biden and Burney are comatose.
No wonder the MSM is worried.

Is Acosta going into a temporary COMA every time it is shown that OBAMA depleted the supplies & he & Sebelius NEVER replaced them???

Is Acosta also in a COMA when leaders speak of the fact that China covered up this virus for weeks, while still sending out flights from Wuhan to the entire world???

I wish someone would take Acosta behind the woodshed & deliver him a serious lecture.
