      3/12/20-"It's all gonna go away"-President Trump  


     3/17/20-This is a pandemic, I felt it was a pandemic long before it was a pandemic, all you had to do was look at other countries."-President Trump

      Congratulations Mr. President! The United States is winning yet again, only this time this great nation is not winning a war against terror, nor are we winning a war against crime, drugs, illegal immigration or in having the greatest economy. No, the United States is winning in that the U.S. has the distinction of having the most COVID-19 cases in the world. With 164,253 cases and rising, the United States has become the new epi-center for the coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID19.

     "We have it totally under control, it's one person from China", stated the president on January 22nd. "We think we have it very well under control", the president on January 30th. "We pretty much shut it down coming from China", the president on February 2nd. "You know in April supposedly it dies with the warmer weather", the president on February tenth. "It gets warm, historically that has been able to kill the virus", said the president on Valentine's Day. "The people are all getting better, they're all getting better", the president on the 25th of February". "And the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to zero", the president on February 26th. "One day it's all going to disappear, one day it's like a miracle it's going to disappear", the president on February 27th. 


      Lie after lie. Fib after fib. Words, just words is what Americans heard coming out from the President's mouth concerning the deadly corona virus. Not one word that came from the president's mouth was true. The fact is, the president and his administration did not have the virus under control, and they certainly did not have it very well under control. The President, also did not "shut it down" as he stated on February 2nd, and the warmer temperatures did not kill the virus as the president stated, nor did the 15 original cases go down to zero, and the virus certainly never disappeared as the president touted it would, and the virus certainly wasn't the Democrats' new hoax. With over 3000 COVID-19 deaths and counting, Americans wish that the coronavirus really was just a hoax.


    COVID-19, is not the Democrat's new hoax, and as of March 17th the president stated that he knew all along that the coronavirus was a pandemic. That being said, then if the president of the United States really knew that the coronavorus was a pandemic that could wipe out a portion of the U.S. population, for the love of God, why did he not shut the country down sooner? Was the president holding rallies more important than American lives? Was the stock market and the economy more important than American lives? Was ignoring a deadly disease as so the president could enjoy a weekend at Mar-a-lago entertaining the Brazilian president more important than American lives? Why? Why sacrifice a one American life for a rally, for the market, for the economy, or for a weekend of entertaining? One American life lost to COVID-19 is too many, and sadly the president is now stating that the U.S. possibly losing one to two hundred thousand would be a good thing. One to two hundred thousand American lives lost due to COVID-19, is not a good thing. Furthermore, the country being shutdown for one to three months or longer, is definitely not a good thing. 


    Unfortunately, due to the negligence of this president and his administration, America has now lost 3167 lives, and just over 500 today. Not to mention, that the coronavirus economic freeze has cost 47 million jobs, and another 67 million jobs are now at risk. The country is to put it bluntly, in the toilet. It's in the toilet due to in large part to a president who in May 2018, axed the executive branch that was responsible for devising a response to a pandemic. The president when asked why he disbanded the pandemic response team, replied that we didn't need it, and if we did, he would bring it back. Apparently, daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared, and other members of the Trump administration failed to make the right call regarding the coronavirus, As so it would seem, the United States did in fact need a pandemic response team. Had the U.S. had a pandemic response team tracking the virus, the president more than likely would have been advised to shut down the country sooner than later. 


    The president knew. The president knew on January 30th that the coronavirus was on a fast pace to becoming a pandemic when the World Heath Organization declared the coronavirus a global emergency. Ye,t the president did nothing. The president downplayed the coronavirus again and again. The first known case of COVID-19 in the U. S. was on January 20th 2020. The first case was a 35 year old man who had returned from Wuhan, China five days earlier. On January 28th, the White House established the coronavirus task force. Two days later flights from most major airlines suspended travel to and from China. Unfortunately, the travel ban was a partial travel ban that did not suspend all flights to and from China. There were exceptions, too many exceptions. Those exceptions along with 300, 000 travelers that entered the U.S. from China just prior to the travel ban brought the coronavirus right on in, and due to the failure of this president to act, America is in the tragic position it is today. 


    America did not heed the warnings by other heavily infected countries like Italy, and Spain, nor did America follow the protocol of countries like Singapore,  South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan that were successful in somewhat containing the virus and controlling the spread by having their citiizens all wear masks, spraying their streets, parks, and places of business, and self isolating early on.  Had the President shut down the country back in early February, this country could have well avoided a massive loss of lives. Had the president in January ordered masks to be made for every citizen, the spread of the virus could have been controlled. Had the president like other nations successful in controlling the spread, had tests for all, the virus could have been controlled. The president repeatedly states that we are testing more than any other country, and it's an outright lie. We are not testing more than any other country, because we just don't have the tests. South Korea has tested five times the amount of the U.S, and Italy has tested four times more than the U.S. . The president lied. The president lied, and he just keeps on lying . Fortunately for him, a good many of his supporters fail to hold him accountable. Well, as I myself have been unemployed since March 18th, I will hold the president accountable. The president deserves to be held accountable for failing the people by mocking, and making light of a deadly pandemic that has cost and will cost thousands of lives as well as the financial stability of millions of Americans who may never make it back, and it is my hope that come November, America says, "your're fired Mr. President"!
