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.

Coronavirus Crisis? Dr. Howard Dean Says Trump Lying About Looming Medical Crisis | MSNBC
Thanks for the truth Mr Dean. Nobody believes trumps white House doctors they put on fox news
Governor Dean is a physician. Not certain what comes first, Doctor Governor Dean, or Governor Doctor Dean?
We don’t need a doctor to tell us Trump is lying. It’s expected.
So what else is knew, Dogface lie all the time
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
Don’t worry Trump has put Mike Pence in charge of fighting the virus, I sure he know what he doing 🤦♂️
What do you mean “they cut the power”? How could they cut the power, man?! They’re animals!
Of course the bloated tangerine is lying. He can’t speak without lying.
@BKking6 How stupid are you that you think orange is a natural skin color?
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.
Acquitted and reelected.
Priceless.
@This is MAGA Country He can’t be reelected.
Priceless. 🙄
Hey, isnt trump the person the cut Funding to the CDC…looks like we are going to see how thay works out!
@Ro G there are plenty of doctors
@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.
He cut the cdc funding for the border wall funding,, you know the 1 that fell in Mexico 😜
herr drumpfh just put pence in charge of managing the coronavirus epidemic.
we’re all gonna die.
Pence takes proactive step: Thoughts and Prayers. There! Problem solved.
a HUGE story would be if traitor trump WASN’T lying
Don’t worry people! Mike Pence is on the case. He’ll use his magical praying powers to make the virus go away.
We have the worst president in history.
Yes indeed that my freind is the truth
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
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.
This admin more than any other, is not equipped to handle any kind of emergency.

First of all, stop lying!!!, He’s lying to himself, and his followers!!, No one trust nothing he says but them!!!
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!
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
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.
Yeah when his gums are flapping , he’s Lying!!!😔
Are there still people that believe anything Trump says!?!?!? DAH!#!#!#!
Like the Good Doctor said. Only his Cult Believes him. So true👿
So you don’t believe him. You believe cryin Chuck?
With any kind of luck, the virus will have a sense if humor & attack Trumpists first.
