When did Trump downplay the virus? I hate the media.
I haven’t heard anyone who claims it give me an exact quote yet. With full context, it doesn’t read that he does.
“When did Trump downplay the virus? I hate the media.“
“Downplay” is a relative term.
“Downplayed” is the opposite of “overblown”.
The Leftist media has hugely “overblown“ this virus from the beginning.
Anyone who was hospitalized, that died or was was on their deathbed from another cause, was tested for covid. If they had it, their death was falsely attributed to covid.
Anyone who was asymptomatic or had common cold or flu symptoms, who had covid, was not tested and therefore not reported as a case.
By vastly overstating the numerator, and vastly understating the denominator, the fake science bureaucrats were able to “overblow“ the morbidity rate by orders of magnitude.
It was deliberately done to tank Trump’s election year economy.
The virus is real, but not nearly as deadly as they would have you believe.
Yes, at first, President Trump, a truth-teller, tried to expose the “overblown” aspect of the reporting of this virus.
You could say he “downplayed” it. But rightly so.
But the Left jumped all over him, so he quickly backed off.
