Democrats over the past week have attacked the president’s handling of the coronavirus in political advertisements and mischaracterize the president’s statements.
In addition, some members of the media have suggested Trump is to blame for the coronavirus, also mischaracterized his statements, and attacked him or his allies for criticizing Democrats for playing politics.
Here are the top ten examples of those attacks and mischaracterizations:
New York Times Op-Ed Calls Coronavirus the “Trumpvirus”
New York Times columnist Gail Collins on February 26, 2020, linked President Trump to the coronavirus in an op-ed piece titled, “Let’s Call It Trumpvirus.” “If you’re feeling awful, you know who to blame,” the sub-headline read.
Collins wrote that Trump blamed the recent stock market slide on Democrats’ performance at the last debate and suggested he thought the coronavirus was “not necessarily a big deal.”
However, what Trump said was that he thought statement(s) from the Democrat candidates “has a huge effect. Asked whether the coronavirus also played a role, he saib “Oh I think it did, I think it dib.”
Bloomberg Makes Coronavirs into a Campaign Advertisement
Democrat presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg on Saturday evening aired a campaign advertisement on the spread of the coronavirus and its economic effects. He said in the ad:
I know this has been a worrisome week for many Americans. The coronavirus is spreading and the economy is taking a hit. Markets have fallen because of uncertainty. At times like this it’s the job of the president to reassure the public that he or she is taking all the necessary steps to protect the health and well being of every citizen.

He resigned over the Hitler references?
remarks about womens appearance over the years....
As Rush explained on his program last Wednesday, the RATS are weaponizing COVID-19. The unanswered question, are the RATS claims having any affect on the citizenry?
bkmk
Unless I really misunderstood, I think Lou Dobbs is sounding like MSDNC.
He is almost hysterical about how 3000 deaths is shocking, alarming and it is so bizarre to listen to him.
I clicked off.
From related thread by Freeper Enlightened1…
The following are global numbers from Worldometer.
3,118 Coronavirus deaths this year
82,084 Seasonal flu deaths this year (number changed +4 as I make post)
I can’t find any such Dobbs youtube clips.
A party of dumbasses that cant count votes in Iowa, keep the homeless off the streets or craping in them for that matter or able to outsmart Trump are saying they can do things better?

•3,118 Coronavirus deaths this year

So....how come Trump is wasting his time with this coronavirus thing? Shouldn't he be working on the seasonal flu thing? Anyway it's Trumps fault.
I watched his show at 7 PM.
I know nothing about what You Tube covers as I hate google.
Those 3k deaths are mostly in a single city although that is changing rapidly as the virus spreads to new places.
The 82k deaths are not.
If the CV spreads to everywhere, like the flu already is, the proportions will be radically different.
To prevent that outcome draconian measures may be needed and have been implemented in some places already. All the Meta Concern Trolls panicking over others’ efforts to be prepared for such situations are just part of the problem. If you don’t want to prep for this, fine. But stop obstructing others. Dedicate that energy to actually countering the claims of the Fake News Media. You guys having fits about the CV threads are the ones panicking as far as I can see.
Those are good questions.
I surmise that since Coronavirus was unknown, PDJT appropriately took action for possible worse case scenario.
Also, I left Worldometer on screen. If I haven’t made any errors, flu has now advanced +24 in 5-10 min. after last post without Coronavirus number changing.
Screen post times show maybe 15 minutes instead of 10.
