President Trump didn’t take Coronavirus seriously?

He restricted Travel with China in January and emphasized that he was taking action against it at the State of the Union in February.

Democrats were focused on Impeachment and Speaker Pelosi was still playing partisan games.

Trump enacted the China travel ban on 31 January....in the midst of impeachment and before his SOTU speech.

The “No Ban Act,” introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and co-sponsored by 219 House Democrats, would have prevented Trump from immediately implementing a travel ban on China once the outbreak of the coronavirus spread past its origins of Wuhan.

Cut to Nan ripping the speech up.

Cut to Nan telling everyone it’s safe to go to China Town with date shown.

Cut to black screen with white bold face letters: “Democrats Lied. Our Grand Parents died.”

Fade to black and cut.

“We are coordinating with the Chinese government...”

It’s pretty hard to effectively coordinate with an entity who happens to be hiding the full truth of the matter.

We did not know that at the time, unfortunately. Even if the President thought China was lying, he would not have said so

He closed down travel from China on January 31, four days before the SOTU address.

He didn't close down travel from China in Jan. Everybody can read it and see the massive holes in it.

Yes. Yet Schitt wants an investigation into the response to the virus. You know, more impeachy stuff.

As usual the Leftist are at fault and so they point at the President.

“We did not know that at the time, unfortunately”

Yes, it is unfortunate. In light of not having accurate details from China, I think that President Trump has been doing a fantastic job.

We know the meme. Trump didn’t act fast enough. Biden will be parroting that until Nov.
