Do They Think We Have No Memory?

 The big claim from the media and the Dems right now is that President Trump downplayed the threat of the corona virus.  As usual, the Dems and the media tell us that people died because Trump said this was no more than the flu.  The people weren't told how serious this was and so they treated it lightly.

Do they think we don't have memories of the early days of the pandemic?  How about these memories:

1.  In March, when the White House Corona Virus Task Force was first having \daily briefings, the President (along with drs. Fauci and Birx) told us that the models showed that if America did nothing to fight the virus we could expect 2.2 million dead in the pandemic.  That's TWO MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND dead.  So according to the media and the Dems, this is President Trump making light of the virus?  This extremely frightening number of potential deaths was supposedly part of Trump downplaying the threat?  Really?

2.  At that same briefing, the President once again outlined steps that were being taken that, if everyone cooperated, would keep the death toll down to between 100,000 and 220,000.  This is downplaying the threat?  The Dems and the media really expect that we have all forgotten this?

3.  From the very beginning of the virus appearing as a threat, Trump talked about the actions needed to fight it.  In the State of the Union address on February 4, the President discussed working together with China to try to prevent the spread of the virus.  At that point, there had not been any cases in the USA, but Trump still put it in the State of the Union.  The World Health Organization was still pushing the Chinese lie that the virus could not spread from person to person.  Even so, Trump was working to fight it.

4.  When President Trump shut off travel from China, Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats all derided the move.  It was racist, they shouted.  There was no need.  The pundits followed a similar line.  But now these same people are busy telling us how Trump downplayed the virus.  Not quite--it was the media and the Dems who did that.

5.  So we have a virus that began in China and which the Chinese lied about so that the rest of the world did not know how serious a threat it truly was.  That virus spread around the world to about 170 countries.  For a long time President Trump made efforts to have the government fight the disease over the constant criticism and opposition of the Dems.  But now, the Dems complain that Trump downplayed the disease.  He's responsible for every person who died and everyone who got sick.  They just want to rewrite history.
