Did Trump Downplay the Coronavirus Crisis for Profits for his Pals?

[Tomjas]

Sen. Feinstein also sold millions $$ of stock following the same briefing that all senators attended...

No Trump did not downplay anything. The media is over exaggerating everything.

When over a thousand died from H1N1 and after 7 months since the beginning of the outbreak, only then did Obama declare a national emergency. And the same media were saying how it was no big deal. A few thousand dead among hundreds of millions was peanuts.

He downplayed it for months

So you’re comparing 2 viruses that needed different approach and effects. H1 moved in a much slower pace but more deadly. Ok H1 caused more death but it was contained . It just happened to be more deadly,

Did H1 caused shut down of US city? No
Did H1 caused 3 trillion dollar bail out?No
Did H1 caused unemployment to go up? No
Did H1 caused the stock market to crash? No
Did H1 caused a shortage of medical supplies? No
Did H1 overload hospitals? No
Was there a suffice amount of testing for H1? Yes

You wanna cherry pick data but forgot about the rest because you’re Stan

All those things you posted are the result of a media created panic.

Panic caused people to sell stocks, panic caused companies to temporarily close their doors, bringing up temporary unemployment, further weighing down the market and requiring a bailout. Panic is causing people to rush to hospitals to get tested instead of just staying home, since there is no cure anyway, so the best the doctors can say is go home and wait it out. So these morons are overflowing the hospitals for no good reason.

So no, I did not forget any facts.

So is Trump exaggerating the situation now?

No he's not. He's listening to advisers and telling people to keep calm, while the media is acting like there is a nuclear apocalypse.

So the media caused the virus to spread lol come on you’re reaching. So employees, airlines etc should just keep open like normal hahahaha.

He remained calm to play politics or maybe hes just dumb and couldn’t understand his briefing
That remaining calm statement would make sense if
1) he met closed door with governors to make a nationwide plan
2) secretly ordered medical supplies
3) fast tracked testing kits

But no it caught him by “surprise”

I knew about this as early as December and knew the symptoms such as difficulty breathing just watching YouTube and the news lol. We knew about the ventilators shortage two month ago.

No I did not say that everything should stay open like normal. I said the media is hugely responsible for the overexaggerated panic spread.

Things will get back up to normal and I have a feeling the economy will soar back up to higher levels. Expecting the DOW to reach 30k before the November election.

If Drumpf was on the board of any company he'd have been fired long long ago. He is an unfit, immoral liar.

Lol so you own a business? The economy was on fire before this happened. The country was doing amazing and you would fire him? Yeah you don't own a business nevermind.

Nah everyone who was anyone was dumping stocks around that time. If anything his pals would want him to play it up because it means mass bailouts without the peasants getting annoyed. Cuz scary times.
