It's obvious what clown you believe in

President Trump’s head popped up during his top-secret intelligence briefing in the Oval Office on Jan. 28 when the discussion turned to the novel coronavirus outbreak in China.

“This will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency,” national security adviser Robert O’Brien told Trump, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward. “This is going to be the roughest thing you face.”

Matthew Pottinger, the deputy national security adviser, agreed. He told the president that after reaching contacts in China, it was evident that the world faced a health emergency on par with the flu pandemic of 1918, which killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide.

Ten days later, Trump called Woodward and revealed that he thought the situation was far more dire than what he had been saying publicly.

“You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump said in a Feb. 7 call. “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.”

“This is deadly stuff,” the president repeated for emphasis.

At that time, Trump was telling the nation that the virus was no worse than a seasonal flu, predicting it would soon disappear, and insisting that the U.S. government had it totally under control. It would be several weeks before he would publicly acknowledge that the virus was no ordinary flu and that it could be transmitted through the air.

Trump admitted to Woodward on March 19 that he deliberately minimized the danger. “I wanted to always play it down,” the president said.

You spend a lot of time defending Tweety, why you probably think he should get a Nobel Peace Prize, that would be like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a James Beard Award.

I spend a lot of time countering or debunking your attacks on Trump, which you spend a lot of time doing. I am not defending Trump because I think he should get a Nobel Peace Prize (BTW, I have no admiration for that politicized "prize"). Trump happens to be the candidate running against the Progressive tool. Pure and simple, that's the reason I "defend" Trump.

Not sure, but if I keep reminding you of that, maybe you might finally realize it. It does seem strange that you seem to prefer to see lies that are repeated over and over as the truth, but when I tell you the truth of what my motivation is over and over, you treat it as if it were a lie and to be ignored.
