Tapper presses Navarro: You’re not answering the question

CNN's Jake Tapper presses President Trump's adviser Peter Navarro on Trump's admitting to journalist Bob Woodward that he knew, weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death, that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he repeatedly downplayed it publicly. #CNN #News

    1. Why don’t we yet have a reliable, quick test to detect the infection? Until we have a national response with someone in charge who will take responsibility like a rational adult, we have little chance of controlling the spread of the virus. Hopes for the first conronavirus vaccine are far fetched but mitigation is something we can do to slow down the spread. Everyone should be wearing a mask but that’s impossible when you have such poor examples in charge.

    2. @Richard C : I am just shareing my opinion with you and everyone else on the Thread! At least us Sane Americans!

    3. @John Swo Trump has siphoned Billions od dolkars from the National Emergency Fund and the Stimukus Money into his Campaign, to himself, his Familiy members, and To his corporate donors pockets! Trump has been scammi g Tax dollars from US for the last 4 years! The test kits are saved for himself and our other wealthy azzhats in this Country that can afford their high prices! Trump only cares about getti g re- elected and keeping the Stock Market up! The 99% of the Americans? Trump considers us all Beneath him as nothing but Suckers!
      A 4 year Con for him!

    1. @MP Thingy You’re exporting both Burn, Loot, Murder and fake news to my country, so obviously I have an opinion on it. And btw. stop claiming that Denmark is a socialist heaven, it is NOT. Our prime minister is a fascist nazi, who violates our constitution on a daily basis.

    2. @bridge4 I am a democrat not a “progressive”. And when the party took such a wicked left turn I was not comfortable. I can’t vote for Biden he is just not up to the task. Many of my friends feel the same way we can’t vote for someone like Biden just because we don’t like Trump that’s just stupid. I want to vote FOR something not against something.

    3. @Zeek Banistor ah gotcha. well my argument still stands, although for a different reason. even if you are going to leave the topline blank, you may want to go vote down ballot for the establishment democrats as opposed to the downballot progressives that people like myself will be voting for, despite not voting for biden)

    4. @Frank Bellomo You have the nerve to say I’m not from the United States and here you are unable to write a coherent sentence in the English language. Nope. You’re a Russian BOT!

    5. @bridge4 Yeah, I could but I would rather we all send a message to our corrupt DNC and stay home. You need to seriously consider boycotting the election. They need to be sent a message that it is not okay to ignore some really good candidates that we had to put in some senile half wit named Joe Biden a Washington insider. First Hillary Clinton whom I could not stand but voted for anyway and now Biden? NO IM DONE FOLLOWING LIKE A SHEEP and you should feel the same way

    1. @v h in Europe, or leaders told us the truth and there was no panic.
      There;s a difference between “keep calm” and “its a hoax” or “it’s just the sniffles”…
      Trump lied, it’s a fact.

    2. @Bryan B The one that every other leader of every civilized country did to make sure they didn’t have 6 TIMES MORE CASES than everyone else You Moron.

    3. @Dan Seven And what is that? How are cases a problem? We’ve diagnosed more cases because we’ve done because we’ve done almost 90 million tests in this country, moron.

    4. @Billithekat Fyi.. .Trump never called the virus a hoax. That’s fake news. He called the dems’ politicization of it to attack him and his admin “their new hoax.” It was and it still is.
      According to the CDC, 40% of people who catch the kung flu are asymptomatic and most of the rest do have mild symptoms like the sniffles, so Trump was more correct than the so-called experts trying to make this thing out to be a new plague. Unless you’re over 70 with other serious health problems, statistically you’re going to be fine.

    1. DR. FAUCI: “He really didn’t say anything different than [what] we discussed when we were with him… I didn’t really see any discrepancies between what he told us and what we told him and what we ultimately came out publicly and said.”

      CNN is FAKE NEWs, Bob Woodward is peddling a book to SUCKERs

    2. The sad thing is this. To support a man of no conscience, no integrity, no morals, one must throw away all that is good in you, as Navarro does. You cannot reason with them. All you can do is vote them out

    1. So says the persons who’s party members are trying to murder their own elected mayors. If you haven’t heard about it you have been watching CNN or MSDNC

    2. So says the person who’s President had sex with his daughter in 2018. If you haven’t heard about it you have been watching Fox

  1. How many times has trump said, “I’m the president; I make the decisions.” NOW they don’t want to take responsibility for what HE did?

    1. @Ryan Nemes you know who made the popular saying first though? Hitler.

      Make Germany Great Again. It was in german but the sentiment and phrasing comes from hitler.

    2. @Jae Kim so I guess we can get something good from bad then…I hope you like what Trump did declaring israel as the capital and then moved our embassy there…also, the UAE peace deal with non-muslim countries or the normalisation of Kosovo and Serbia… all these things are testaments that he is for us, regardless of our political affiliation…or color, race etc. I don’t like his public persona and his Twitter rants here and there but actually working hard for all of us…he doesn’t need this but he loves our country and its people…that includes both of us…I’m an independent btw.

    3. @Jae Kim i admit i did not get A+ for history but i’m all good…i could care less who pens it first…i care more the substance…the promises made and the promises kept kinda thing. I’m a Reagan supporter ‘dawg.’

  2. 6 combat tours…..this was not the fog of war! Hard honesty would have been better than playing it down.

  3. “No one knew in February.”

    Trump on tape in his own words describing how the coronavirus spreads in the air and is deadly.

    1. Mable Marvine I think what he meant to say, is that the virus is real, it’s just blown out of proportion and exploited by the Goebbels media. Like the democrat motto goes “ Don’t let a good crisis go to waste.” There’s no pandemic.

    2. @Jeff Hampton Yah but what the president said on tape matters to me.
      He said the stuff is very serious.. go back to his tapes with Bob woodward Am not taking anything for granted.
      Let me die trying. Am praying everyday not just for me but for every person in leadership because this not about politics…And it’s so depressing when we start politicizing this padamic.
      My opinion mistakes done let’s find away to move forward together and bit this virus.

    3. J Law bThe Government you’re referring to that failed us is the Democrat/ Marxist controlled State Governments with their deceptive ulterior motives, they and the Liberal Media Ministry of Propaganda are the crux of the problem in the country and the election will bear that out.

    4. 1DNEZ INDEED! That is the point. You know what the next four years will be based on what he has done. No matter what I think personally, educate yourselves and then vote. Nothing else matters. What matters is the election of a representatives

  4. “Fog of War” is now preached by all the Trump’s cronies after those tapes. There must have been another memo sent out to all Republicans to use “fog of war”.

    1. Ruchira De Silva ; OBAMA AND HIS EVIL SIDEKICKS HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

      These Fake Race Riots Were Pre-Planned Right Down to the Memes and Mottos. This Riot MEME was posted by The Obama Foundation on May 16, 2020 with a clear picture of George Floyd— tweeted 9 days before his death! State of the Nation. Really, you can make this stuff up!

    2. @Olly “action must be taken” against former special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors after Justice Department records show members of the team “wiped” their phones during the Russia investigation.
      a corrupt investigation … corruptly covered up … 24 phones got wiped ..all part of the BS

    3. FOG OF WAR hmmmm I smell that Uriah Heap type character Stephen Miller behind that statement. You notice everyone how they keep him in the back? That’s because he’s too damn repulsive every time he opens his mouth. His politics are written all over his face!!!!! Yuk yuk yuk!

    1. @Harold Moore ..you are next says cnn…..it must be true, cnn said it, dont argue with them damn it !…they are cnn ! damn it !

    2. @Donald Fry ….obviously so, its astounding how the opposition party doesnt understand what fairness i all about …….

    4. @Donald Fry this commie crap comment is the new conservative NPC.

      Commie

      Commie

      Commie

      The thing is, the communism which is being referred to is not socialism, which is in fact where things are headed for this nation. They want you to fear change like it’s Capitalism or Stalin gulag communism. But it’s not your daddy’s communism. Its a new beast.

    1. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS POCKET BOOK,HE SAYS BAD THINGS ABOUT GOOD PEOPLE BECAUSE HE IS ENVIOUS .HE PUTS DOWN THE MILITARY …WHY BECAUSE HE HAD BONE SPURES AND THEY MAKE HIM LOOK BAD …SO IN A CHILDS MIND I WILL PUT THEM DOWN A CHILDISH BEHAVIOUR IN A GROWN AUDULTS BODY! MOST OF HIS FOLLOWERS ARE ON THE SAME MENTALITY HOW DO YOU KNOW …THEY STATE THEIR ABSURTITIES AND THEN THEY TEXT HA HA HA HOW CHILDISH IS THAT!

    2. You sound like a psychopath with ‘Bones Spurs’ growing out of the side of your head. How about this Kliewer, Did Cuomo kill Nana, Nonna, Oma, Abuela, Grandma, Granny, Nan, Mere and Grandmother, the dirty dog!!! @Don Kliewer

  5. “You cannot wake up a person who pretends to be sleeping”. When someone is determined to lie, there’s nothing you can do.

    1. Right on Biden 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. End Russian control of our country Vote Blue. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. sheehan Tezzo you could never wake Trump. He’s the single most liar in american history. This guy is not even American.

    1. Navarro is LYING! and kissing Trumps A$$, Trump told Bob Woodward in Feb 2020, that he knows the Virus is more deadly than the Flu, But Trump said in Feb 28, 2020 at a Rally in S.C “This is their new Hoax” referring to the Virus, Trump LIED! Americans Died , ANYONE! deflecting or making excusing or Lies about that FACT! proves they HATE! the Americans people and can’t with Facts ( Trump calls the Virus “their new hoax”, on Feb 28, 2020 ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5TZ6fTYrsE&t=3s “The truth sounds like an insult to crazy people in denial.” JanJan; “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters” Albert Einstein; “The liar’s punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.” George Bernard Shaw,

    1. that goes for everyone, for example when someone says “ill fight till my last breath for this country” they mean “if i hear gunshots outside my house, i’m going to surrender.”I can give you many examples for the people that killed millions of people and they did nothing to help their family’s. (now this is history so do what you like with this info) One being hitler (i know that this is a huge escalation from trump but give me a min) Hitler told the german people that he will fight for germany again blah blah blah, what happened when american and russian soldiers knocked on his bunker door? he shot himself in the head saying to the german people that he will fight for the glory of germany and would fight till his last breath, (and you know that was a lie)
      TL:DR- The leaders of this country do nothing but claim that they are for the people when they don’t risk their lives for the people.

  6. He didn’t know, he only “expressed” it to Bob Woodward. Navarro it’s on tapes, want us to un-hear what we heard from the horses mouth?
