Democrats NY Times Blame Trump for Coronavirus

Flat out lies levelled at President exposed by AP

Democrats / NYT are blaming President Trump for the spread of the Coronavirus to the US, despite the fact that he presided over enhanced border controls and blocking flights from infected areas weeks ago.

The AP noted that both Bloomberg and Biden are flat out wrong in claims that Trump cut resources for the CDC and NIH.

The fact check report states:

Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s a distorted picture. For starters, Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget.

He’s proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The NIH and the CDC aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect.

In addition, the budget cuts proposed by Trump had absolutely nothing to do with Coronavirus prevention preparedness, and were related to Ebola virus response, which was no longer needed at such high levels because the threat from the virus in the US has faded.

“Some Democrats have charged that Trump decimated the nation’s public health leadership, but [John Auerbach, president of the nonpartisan Trust for America’s Health] said CDC’s top scientific ranks have remained stable during the past three years.” the AP fact check notes.

Nevertheless, Democrats will willingly distort the facts and lie to the public to score political points.

During Thursday’s Democratic debate, Bloomberg claimed “There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need.”

Biden claimed “We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. … He’s wiped that out. … He cut the funding for the entire effort.”

Idiots reaching for straws in desperation. I wouldn’t believe the NYT if they printed the sky was blue. That antisemitic lying rag will never cross the threshold of my home.

Someone should keep track of US Citizens killed in 2020 by the Coronavirus, the flue and illegal immigrants. Let's keep everything in perspective.

Wouldn’t Natzi Pelosi’s district be a contributing factor in the spread of the virus in California?

Two more wild rumors today.

1. Dims want everyone to vote by absentee ballot to avoid contagion at polling places,

and

2. Pres. Trump will cancel the election to avoid contagion at polling places.

Wow. Sounds like Pres. Trump needs to increase production of valium and cheek slaps.

The democrats and their media propaganda complex actually want the coronavirus to spread to the U.S., wreck the economy and kills millions, just so they can defeat Trump and regain power.

But that’s what communists have always done.
