At the 27 second mark he says, "This is their new Hoax" referring to the Dems criticism of his Coronavirus handling. He later tells the crowd there are only 15 cases, no deaths and it will probably be getting better soon. The overt message sent to that crowd (despite the warnings being given by scientists and the national media at the same time) was that the danger of this virus and criticism of him downplaying this virus are all just a hoax. The fact you can't comprehend his message intent is why I'm so glad the scientists, public servants, private sector business leaders, governors and mayors all across America completely ignored him and acted until it reached the point he had no other choice but to wake the F up to what was happening in this country and declare a national emergency. He and his cult were in complete denial up until a couple of days ago. Some still are.
Everything about you and your stupid liberal friends is all a hoax. Y’all have admitted that you’d rather see the country fail if it meant Trump get removed from office. You all are a sick bunch of people.

Our whole country is a "sick bunch of people" thanks to Orange man cutting the entire budget and staff of the Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

The scientists at the CDC and WHO are the ones saying this flu is potentially much worse. The media is merely reporting it as they should. It's a life or death situation for some folks.
China locked down Wuhan. Italy, France and Spain are now on lockdown. Italy's Med care system is maxed out. If you don't think any of that is newsworthy....don't know what else to say.
It's not a left wing conspiracy to bring down Trump.
Sticking your head in the sand, fingers in your ear and believing Trump when he calls it a hoax, won't make this go away.
This is science.
Same science that says global warming will kill us all in 12 years?

Calling Obama a moron when Trump cant play a game of chess because he keeps yelling KING ME shows your clear bias. You can have your opinion but clearly your opinion loses all credibility when you compare Obama and Trump in intelligence. Whew.
I can. One (Trump) became a billionaire in private business. The other (Obama) became a millionaire on a salary of 480K being POTUS. You figure it out. Trump built business’s, Obama never had any kind of job. NEXT!

The virus has been here for months Sam, it didn’t just get here. A national emergency was called because the public panicked.

Because the media created the panic. They get more viewers when they make a panic. Same as riots. The media loves when people riot and burn ****. White cop kills black man, all over the news, hoping to create a riot situation. Black cop kills white man, crickets

Yeah MSNBC created panic in China, Italy, Spain, and France. CNN will soon be making an announcement that they have complete control over the Chinese government Coronavirus response and will be changing to a democracy with a free and open press. You heard it here first.

You may be very well be right about it being here longer than a month. But the national emergency got called because things got so real so fast that Trump couldn't spin it his way or blow it off as a hoax any longer. Nobody in the private sector or general public was listening to what he had to say about the virus any more and they started shutting things down whether he wanted them to or not. This response was driven by the scientists, media and state/local governments.

Unlike Trump you can actually put a sentence together. I just do not agree with his and ,I assume, your political views.

if China knew about this since November IMO there is a great chance many people have already had it. Hell even I had a viral strain of pneumonia for the first time in my life 2 months ago

does anyone else feel this is a possibility?
I got sick as a dog in late December. First time in 10 years I had a flu that took me down like it did. My wife had it as well, then rolled into pneumonia too. Neither of us were tested for flu.
Yeah, it didn't magically appear in February here. I think it's been rolling around for months but didn't start getting real bad till winter set in...plus nobody was looking for it until recently.

No it didnt, there’s still only 3000 people infected, 98% tested are coming back negative.
Everything started closing because of panic, it was a domino effect once Ohio started cancelling things. Which we now know was from an assumption of 100000 Infected in Ohio.
Take a look around, this reaction is insane. It targets elderly people with underlying conditions the worst. H1N1 was the hardest on the young and elderly, and there wasn’t this type of reaction. Wasn’t a national emergency until 6 months later and 10’s of thousands dead. Does that not make you wonder why the difference this time?

I think you’re exactly right, but I don’t know if it’s worse now than it was.
I don’t mean to come off argumentative with you, it is a serious situation. I don’t think this panic is healthy nor constructive.

I was tested for the flu and it came back negative. Doctor saw something in one lung and treated it as viral pneumonia.

These viruses create a bell curve. Early on, the cases are low and then begin to escalate exponentially. It's like cancer. Starts out slow but eventually the cells double every day to the point it gets out of control. 16 cancer cells won't kill you, but double the double every day and you are toast. The panic and shut downs are an attempt to slow down the rate and allow our med systems to deal with the numbers coming in the door.

Management of a private business cannot fix a problem that belongs to our country. If company A is manufacturing a like product in China and company B is manufacturing a like product in the USA, company A is going to have lower COGS.

Company A will then mark up and pull a greater profit which will in turn push company B out of the market or potentially out of business all while undercutting company B.

Government can fix the problem through regulation and guess what, that is better for our country than status quo.

It is simply irresponsible for nearly everything we buy to be coming from China. It is completely irresponsible to have all of our acute meds coming from there as well. Ridiculous...
Haggin...it's hard to argue business philosophies and how the private sector works with a lib. They just don't/can't comprehend.

Pretty easy becoming a billionaire when you received almost a half billion dollar inheritance from your daddy. What’s not easy is filing a half dozen bankruptcies with that much seed money to begin with. An astute businessman he ain’t.

He could have put the money in a CD and made more money.

FWIW you can be right about what Trump said in that video -- he says many outlandish stupid things , the saddest part for our county is he's Albert Einstein compared to Bernie or senile Joe. Hell they couldnt even get the name of the virus correct. He also said several good solid things in that clip - that he wont allow infected people to pass thru borders , but I get it , you hate the guy and will pick out a sentence among a speech to rail away on. IMO he didnt mean the virus was a hoax , he just knew the dems would politicize it against as he works on protecting the public . Carry on Sam . you are a good poster .

You sound like my brother...We disagree a lot on politics but enjoy hanging together. More often than not, the truth seems to lie somewhere in between.
I am definitely not a Trump fan but also agree with you about Joe and Comrade Bernie. I will say, if it comes down to Trump vs Bernie, I'm pulling the lever for the one that doesn't think that that the accumulation of wealth should be penalized. Not sure there is one whole brain between the three of them. I miss Reagan right now.
