Coronavirus Crisis? Dr. Howard Dean Says Trump Lying About Looming Medical Crisis | MSNBC

The worldwide coronavirus infection has spread to the U.S., driving President Trump to hold a formal White House briefing with doctors and government health officials about the state of the problem on Wednesday. On the night of the briefing, Former Democratic Governor Howard Dean, a doctor, argued Trump is a “terrible spokesperson” for a concerned nation because he is “incapable” of telling the truth about the problem and what comes next. Trump recently inaccurately claimed the virus would be gone by “April” because of weather patterns. Dean cautioned that the virus is “serious” but “not a reason to panic.” (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 02/26/20.

  1. Dr, Governor Dean , what’s new , trump lies even while he’s sleeping . He learned to lied since he was in Fred loins, it’s engraved in him .

    1. Mary S.
      Trump lies 24/7. I hope one day he’s put under oath in a court of law. Not before Congress, because there one can lie and get away with it.

  2. The first thing any leader needs to do is educate himself on the issue at hand. And we already know that Trump is incapable of being educated on anything. Trump sees ignorance as a virtue, and a symbol of strength.

    1. Let’s see tRump’s school grades and tax returns. It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that he’s actually really stupid and no where near being a billionaire/millionaire. But there would be definite proof of fraud if those documents were revealed.

    2. David J, Trump says he knows more about everything than anybody else. He also said that by April the Corona virus will be gone. He’s now being tested, and what if the virus hits somebody in the haunted white house? Trump would then lose the little minuted brain that he has left.

    3. Don’t worry Trump has put Mike Pence in charge of fighting the virus, I sure he know what he doing 🤦‍♂️

    1. CShield even if he was impeached he can be re-elected for a second term. If he would have been removed from office then he would not be eligible. At least that’s my understanding.

    1. @snoop alert And these doctors are going to coordinate the CDC, the DHS, HHS, State Dept and military if needed to coordinate the American response to a world-wide epidemic? 🤔
      I don’t think you’ve thought this one quite through.

  3. Don’t worry people! Mike Pence is on the case. He’ll use his magical praying powers to make the virus go away.

    1. CatPower. Miles ahead of Obama policy wise. If you truly think his the “worst” then it’s just the TDS talking. History is a weak spot for the left

    2. You better start dealing with it, OK!? Listen to me! Hudson, just deal with it, because we need you, and I’m sick of your bullsh*t.

  4. “The outstanding negative quality of the totalitarian elite is that it never stops to think about the world as it really is and never compares the lies with reality.”
    Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

  5. First of all, stop lying!!!, He’s lying to himself, and his followers!!, No one trust nothing he says but them!!!

  6. It’s going to hit his supporters hard, cause they believe everything he says! They can be sick and falling out, still believing there’s nothing to see here!

    1. mkellsoo24 and their the type of people that buy that bs medicine so they’ll probably think it’s all under control while infecting others unfortunately

  7. trump donald is doing the ‘look-the other-way’ approach: Deliberately ignoring it, as he buys himself time, in hopes that it thwarts the election process due to his Negligence in taking the necessary proactive steps to prepare for it, —- he’s basically telling all U.S. Citizens that he doesn’t care if there’s an outbreak. Sociopathic/Psycho…., Sadistic behavior. Other people’s pain is his pleasure.
