Shortly before the first coronavirus death in the US was confirmed, Joe Biden condemned Donald Trump’s claim that the outbreak is a “new hoax” orchestrated by Democrats in order to beat him at the polls in November.

“For him to … start talking about being a hoax is absolutely dangerous,” Biden said in Greenville, South Carolina, on Saturday. “It’s just not a decent way to act.”

"I’m confused didn’t he call the Democrats Criticism of the White Houses response to the Corona virus a hoax?"

He is saying that the Democrats are politicising the issue.

The Democrats are politicising the coronavirus,” Trump said. “They’re politicising it. One of my people came up to me and said: ‘Mr President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That did not work out too well. They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax.

“This is their new hoax.”

The problem Trump has is that you might be able to bullshit an entire nation but you can't bullshit a virus.

Bigger issue is he put Pence in charge of the whole thing. Pence doesnt believe in science. He said smoking doesnt cause cancer and thought he could pray to make the HIV issues in Indiana go away.

The US is fucked

Exactly. It's his way of "owning" the Democrats. Like Rush Limbaugh being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom... he knows he can get away with anything and this is showing the world the middle finger.

But it might come back to bite him in the arse. How old is Trump again?

"Mr Trump also said he was considering travel restrictions on the southern border with Mexico, although there have been no known cases of coronavirus transmission there"

OK Iran I can understand.

But there are more than 50 other counties where there have been COVID-19 cases where travel isn't banned. So who is politicising this?

Trump's apparent grasp of this and his response seems more of the same old dangerous trope. Him before country - especially if election times are pending. Your life is expendable, you hardly count as human - of course, it's the opposite of truth.

The Republicans have set a dangerous precedent by putting their party before the country. Now Democrats will criticise everything Trump does. The problem now is that things which would have been taken seriously are now put down to politics.

What's ironic is Trump is a notorious germophobe

Trump has taken several other steps, all of them backward. He has eliminated a National Security Council position that coordinates responses to pandemics. He has ignored an expert panel’s warning that the US is badly unprepared for global health threats and needs to restore funding to address them, and is requesting that the CDC budget be cut by almost 16%, starting in October, and the Department of Health and Human Services budget by almost 10%.

Trump is also proposing a $3bn cut to global health programs, including a 53% cut to the World Health Organization and a 75% cut to the Pan American Health Organization.

So who is this on the video then? A Trump impersonator?

When it comes to Trump there is no need for fake news to discredit him because he comes up with ways to discredit himself that his biggest opponents couldn't imagine.

That this guy is president of the USA makes a laughing stock of an entire nation.

Hoax - a plan to deceive someone

How does 'politicising' something translate into a hoax?

Is it any wonder that when a journalist asks a simple question and gets a personal attack in return, that his supporters cannot defend him without personally attacking his critics.

He played down a hoax to try to keep confidence in the markets. When the matkets crashed he changed his tune immediately.

Coincidence.

I think you overestimate the ability of fab forums to sway public opinion. There are thousands of online articles out there saying the same as me. There is video of him playing down the Coronavirus so I don't know how you call it fake news.

I'm very happy that you have a TDS label to slap on people you don't know and have never met. I guess in your view is substitutes a well constructed argument. It says more about you than it does about me.

Then watch Trump trying to excuse his obtuse behaviour.... it was unprecedented and no one saw it coming...

Unprecedented? Wrong. Unprecedented means it has never happened before. Go back 100 years.

No one saw saw it coming? Really. This TDS fuckwit posted the first coronavirus on fab in late January. The only thread on it was a year old and was the inmutated version. How is it that someone as stupid and ignorant as me say that 'the world is standing on a precipice' days before the first person had even died?

Lots of people saw it coming people warned him. The problem was that his loyalty is to Big Money not the citizens whom he supposedly serves.

The same can be said of Boris and Wormtongue (aka Cummings). They only changed tack after the markets crashed. It seems it is OK for Boris Corbynism without bankrupting us. No one is asking where all this money comes from.

"Now, the Democrats are politicising the coronavirus… this is their new hoax."

- Donald Trump

PS the previous hoax was his interference in elections using a foreign power. Something for which there was overwhelming evidence. Let's remember that Republicans did not even try to refute what he did. They just said "so what?" At this point Trump, the Republicans and all the sycophant supporters lost credibility. They would swear the sky is green and grass is blue if it suited their purpose.

It might be fair to call the criticism of Trump's handling of the virus politicising. But you can't call politicising a hoax. Where have they sought to deceive anyone?

There is no way that saying politicising something is a hoax makes sense.

You've got two choices here. Either he doesn't understand the English language and he's an idiot.

Or he actually did think the Coronavirus was a hoax. And he's an idiot.

Everything he has said about it since then has been wrong. That it would be over soon. That it was under control.

Now he's saying the churches will be packed for Easter.

I don't know who's more looney tunes. Him. Or the people who follow him (especially the ones he discriminates against).

The president, who is anxious about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the US economy, made the remarks at a White House press briefing Monday in which he repeatedly refused to confirm that he would listen to public health authorities if they advised him to keep restrictive public health measures in place, even at a cost to the economy.

President Donald Trump's private business has shut down six of its top seven revenue-producing clubs and hotels because of restrictions meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus - potentially depriving Trump's company of millions of dollars in revenue.

In a tweet late Sunday, Trump said the measures could be lifted as soon as 30 March. "WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF," he wrote on Twitter.

Hmmmm. Now what is worse... millions of people dying or Trump filing for bankruptcy for a seventh time? Difficult one that...

He possibly sees this as an opportunity to capitalise on tge global economic downturn that probably will occur. He may be thinking like a businessman who thinks he can grow his organisation and get better deals off the weakness of others.

He might be banking on short term memory if the plan pays off which results in an easy election win and Americans saying how great life is because of him.

He sees if as a war and may consider deaths collateral damage if it pays off.

Personally, I see the economic and social effects as being a delicate balancing act. One which he would be getting badly wrong, but I'm not American so don't really care too much.

You seem confused.

Try looking up the definition of "hoax".

Then reread what came out if Donald Trump's mouth. Not the analysis of it on infowars. Just the actual shite that he speaks. Or the insane ramblings on his Twitter account.

The poor guy isn't in a good state mentally. This virus emergency seems to have pushed him off the cliff edge.

I think it would work if this virus was in fact "just a sniffle" but by all accounts it lays a lot of people low for some time. So even if they did go back to work, one may find the virus causing as much collective absenteeism than a lockdown.

If there are no quarantine measures in force by Easter, the estimates show that may mean millions of deaths. That mught not be very good for his re-election campaign.

the only line that can be disputed is the "hoax" line...... and that is the one crumb the republicans are trying to hold on to...

the problem for republicans is every other line IS in the context it was written.... but they can't defend any of that! so for some reason they have developed "selective amnesia".......
