My theory is that in the beginning the media/dem complex started hyping the virus as a weapon against Trump, who originally downplayed the seriousness of the virus. Once it became clear to Trump that a real panic was setting in that risked an economic disaster, he decided to turn it back on the media/dem complex. He “declared war” on the virus, started daily virus briefings, urged massive spending, his popularity went up to over 50 percent. Now the media/dem complex is regretting that they started a panic, but they are locked in. It’s not like they can announce, “hey, it was all a hoax meant to defeat Trump in November.” Trump is forcing them to play the game his way.

The media/dem complex have tried everything they could think of and it’s all backfired on them for the last 3+ years.

This is exactly what I have been thinking... well written.

It struck me as something like getting in front of a stampede, to prevent the herd from running off a cliff.

Since when have the Dems not overplayed their hand.

A few more headlines like this we’ll get the house back too.

Good for him. He’s also showing what a true leader vs a “ script reader” is.

Hollywood is getting crushed. That is part of this too. MSM’s Frankenstein’s Monster has taken one of theirs.

These were the kids that refused to watch Wil E. Coyote and the Road Runner and failed to learn the most valuable lesson in life . . . Karma is a bummer!

The dems and their collaborative partners in China, Iran and the liberal media press along with others in the cdc deep state, have completely screwed up their one shot at a useful black swan event.

The Democrats have chosen poorly.

The President did not downplay the seriousness of the virus early on. That is media spin. He took steps to halt air travel from China and he assembled the task force. In an effort to forestall panic, he also initially (and correctly) compared the Corona virus to the annual flu which infects and kills far more people (so far).

This is exactly right but endgame for Dems will be pimping number of deaths EXACTLY the way Stephanapolous did in fall of 2008 with his ABC Nightly News "WAR DEATH" counts to drive up McCrisis' negatives.

Same old tired playbook.

Trump is no McCrisis...
