Trump Knew How Deadly COVID-19 Was And Never Told The Nation | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

"I didn't want to create a panic."

That's not an excuse. He's the President of the United States. His job is to tell the American people the truth and then lead the nation.

[redwoods]

"I don't want people to be frightened." Well, I've been terrified since election day 2016.

[unitedwestand]

These lies he told have killed right around 4Xs the amount of Americans killed in Vietnam, trump is pure evil.

[easternwoods]

This qualifies as a " crime against humanity "

[TheVetThatCollects]

What amazes me is that there are people who are surprised at

[ScarletRed.]

But he wants us to panic over the caravans he's so ridiculous.

[justamusta]

Wait, the virus IS dangerous, and Joe ISN’T sleepy?!?!?

Donnie Death gets an F.

*Trump:*
"I don't want people to panic..."
*Also Trump:*
"Caravans of MS-13 and brown people moving into your suburbs!!

Dr. Fauci had his family threatened because of Trumps downplay. My God.

[gadi]

To quote a great statesman: "Don't boo - VOTE!"

[Machster]

Translation: stock market 'panic' not people's panic.

[kevinw]

I'm glad he didn't cause a panic. From now on if I'm in a building that's on fire i won't pull the fire alarm for the same reason.

#sarcasm

[joehanchor]

This is unacceptable he didn't do anything to preventing it.

[isaac]

He was worried about the Stock Market --not the people !

[flynnrider]

This is plain murder! The families of those 190k+ lost souls should sue him!

[jackboot]

Where's Mike Pence? Head of the task force... What did he know about this?

[kevdaag]

Trump: "I wanted to, I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down"
McEnaney: "The president never downplayed the virus."

[testruelove]

The only reason why he didn't want to acknowledge it in the month of February is because he didn't want panic not from the American people but panic from the stock market.
