LEAK: Trump Admits He Lied, Downplayed Coronavirus
Audio has surfaced of Donald Trump talking to journalist Bob Woodward during the early months of 2020 for Woodward’s new book, “Rage.” Some of the statements made by Trump are hugely damaging and confirm suspicions we had all along. On February 7th, long before most Americans knew about the dangers of coronavirus, Trump said he was “playing it down” as not to create a “panic.” The President also said the virus was airborne, but in the early months, Americans were told it spread from touch. The recordings suggest Trump knew about the severity of coronavirus, yet he did little to nothing in February to prepare the country.
During one of the interviews, Trump told Woodward that coronavirus was much worse than the seasonal flu. Yet in public, Trump was in the habit of comparing COVID-19 to the flu during the shutdown phase. It seems like every couple of days a new Trump quote comes out that proves he is totally unfit for office.
Trump Fox Interview Sets Record for Most Humiliating
Donald Trump had an interview over the phone with one of his favorite Fox News hosts, Sean Hannity. Much of the interview was spent trying to respond to newly-surfaced audio tapes wherein Trump admitted to downplaying the coronavirus. They responded to it by going through their normal talking points, like about how Trump stopped non-US citizens from entering the country from China and then Europe. It’s almost like they didn’t understand how damaging the tapes are and how they prove Trump misled the American public.
The interview got even more humiliating when Trump started bragging about his Supreme Court justice and federal judge picks. The only reason he was able to appoint all of those judges was because Mitch McConnell held the seats open and refused to hear out Barack Obama’s appointees — but of course that wasn’t mentioned. They went on to ramble about how the election will be rigged with tremendous amounts of voter fraud (if Trump loses) without providing any evidence. It’s hard to imagine how these interviews get any worse.
From yesterday’s show:
SHOCK: Trump Losing Ohio in REPUBLICAN Poll
There is a new Rasmussen poll that has Joe Biden beating Donald Trump in Ohio by 4%. This is notable both because Rasmussen is a right-leaning poll and Republicans historically have always needed Ohio in order to win the election. Arizona is also likely to go to Joe Biden in November, finalizing a decades-long shift in the Grand Canyon state from red to blue. It is highly likely that if Joe Biden wins both Ohio and Arizona, he’ll win the presidency, perhaps even in an electoral college landslide.
