Trump began March with a barrage of false claims about the coronavirus pandemic — understating the extent of the crisis, overstating the availability of tests, inaccurately blaming his predecessor and wrongly insisting that the crisis was unforeseen.

Trump made 50 false claims from March 2 through March 8, then 21 false claims from March 9 through March 15. Of those 71 false claims, 33 were related to the coronavirus. That is on top of some additional misleading claims from Trump about the coronavirus , plus some false and misleading claims from members of his administration. Trump is now averaging about 57 false claims per week since we started counting at CNN on July 8, 2019.

)Social Security and Medicare"I must say, that was a VERY boring debate. Biden lied when he said I want to cut Social Security and Medicare. That's what they ALL said 4 years ago, and nothing happened, in fact, I saved Social Security and Medicare. I will not be cutting, but they will.

What you say now Americans?!!!

Fake news again.

Are you covering his live Covid-19 briefs? You scared CNN?

Who cares all you do is make it worse.

CNN is disgusting. Mincing words out of context to try and make it seem as if the President is trying to deceive someone. CNN is the only one deceiving the American public. CNN needs to change their business plan.

Who can be possibly surprised that trump made false claims, is that something new ? He is still president, and has a support team.

CNN is the gold standard in yellow journalism

His supporters are catching the virus first and dying first.

He if did he would be 998 better than CNN. Does putting out this Bull 💩 help the nation during a national crisis?

And its business as usual in the Trump administration

This is an act of God to shift the world to what is really important. Rand Paul is only the first of many. He can get a test , but u can't. May 1st 2020. Markets has collapsed. 3 world leaders have died and China has a new virus

It is a travesty to call the sinking ship of CNN news channel. They spread more sensationalism and despair than any other so called news organizations.

When ALL our states, when the people on the ground tell us they have supplies then come on this air VP realDonaldTrump fema CDCgov SpeakerPelosi senatemajldr. PeopleOverProfit

And you have made 110 about him!

Liar.

Crazy Nuts Network propaganda 101-wish this channel could get exposed to common sense

Trump also banned travel before any other country did 🤷‍♂️

How they can stand there and lie is beyond me dumb gop believe the wise democrats can see the lies and crap coming out of the white house, all on trump the buck stops at you and nobody else!

Typical from CNN = Crap New Network!

realDonaldTrump

CNN the maker of fake news....how are you still in business?

Please make this stop. We need to hear real information on what's happening.

Still playing politics and dividing the nation, hunh CNN?

Due to the inattention of the United States, it is now spreading all over the world

Scientists have yet to get a handle on the characteristics of cv-19 that make it so contagious; politicians & media have no clue, only jaw-bone; Not helpful. cv-19 pandemic will cause paradigm shift in way nations & economies function going forward in 21st century.

So CNN, I am sure you can see that the Fake Media has been undermining the president since he was elected. We see what you are doing. We no longer believe anything you say. You not only destroyed yourselves. You destroyed the media.

A Loudmouth in power . Beware!!

The voters need to vote him out in November provided we have recovered from this and election is held.

TRUMP2020

WE THE PEOPLE LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP , CNN is fullshiff

Trump couldn't lead flies to a pile of shit.

F A K E N E W S

So there is a Doctor behind him can he not see he is a narcissist and have him get treatment

Clinton news network CNN is a propagandist network news. Even Africa and rest of the never take them serious anymore.

Yet he knew in JANUARY!!!

Fake news

CNN the fake news enemy of the worlds population! Ban this 'criminal' organisation!

CNN a kamikaze network.

Another hit story on the President. Sensationalistic slant. Give it up. The virus caught us all by surprise once it was discovered that China wasn’t releasing the truth. Trump imposed the travel ban from China early. That was an extremely good move protecting America.

How many lies did cnn tell. 24 hrs a day.

FO cNN

False claims....understating....inaccurately blaming... wrongly insisting... US media continually bending over backwards to make sure they don't say he lied. When he clearly did. It's become laughable to the extent you'll go to not use that 1 word. Disgraceful

Fake news ☠️stop already 😂 you look like a bunch of fools🤓

America, that is your President. The world watches.

And then claiming he knew it was a pandemic before it was a pandemic. Genius. If only he didn't leave American's sucking hind tit.

This tweet shows how CNN is useless to the American people in the country's time of need. Just a Trump bashing network! Nothing positive or encouraging to say.

Where do we sign a petition to pull the plug on CNN? They are not journalists. They are Hate Trump activists, and this tweet reeks of it! FakeNewsCNN Covid-19

He really needs to dress better.

Liar

The corporate media is the enemy of the People. ChiCom propaganda

I literally don’t understand how this is helping. I could pick apart anything and anyone with the time you reporters must have on their hands. What a shitty service you provide. I can’t wait until CNN is no longer a viable company and can no longer do the harm you do.

Your opinion, I guess

An election year is more important than citizens they serve.

Someone REALLY needs to tell him to stop wearing his hats at briefings. Just doesn't look professional for a president. Oh wait.....

Shut up FakeNewsCNN! We are in a national crisis and all your crappy excuse for a “news station” does is try and tear down this President! It’s sickening, it’s unpatriotic, and it’s pathetic! How about reporting about the good in our country and supporting all our leaders?!

Let's just gold the election so we can vote that idiot out. He can fall into a depression and catch a coronary while stuffing his fat face and all his loyalist can commit mass suicide together. What a wonderful world that will be! VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Boo to CNN.

orangebraindead lies

Inside information, the stock market will fall sharply today.

They weren’t false claims, but rather the knowledge we all had at the time. Get over yourselves and your need to be superior !! We are all in this together!!

Listen !! From the very beginning this virus has been extremely “fluid” and difficult to pin down. All of the medical experts have said this. It has changed in possible severity from day to day. So dont try to blame this slippery agent on the Republicans or Trump! Get over it!

Clearly he had enough time to put measures in place for the coronavirus yet he chose to turn a blind eye to it. Kept tell the public it's just a flu like shit. He should be responsible for misleading the public. Now the crisis escalated, making it much harder to control.

It's a shame that you hate him so much that you're only agenda is to prove him wrong. It's why your ratings are in the toilet.

Cnn works for Biden campaign

The crisis was unforeseen for the entire world !!...look what’s happening !!.no one expected this..not just trump..stop your biased reporting at least for these crucial times..

It's time for networks to stop putting him on television. He's just as worthless as his supporters. He lies, they eat up the lies and the rest of the country is endangered by it all. His presidency is a cancer upon this nation and his cult needs to be torn to shreds.

Terrible leader this fellow!

Yep! Instead of instigating panic to everyone! Everyone should have been in terror back in November! Looters and riots should have started immediately with violence in the streets! That way all of you could blame Trump even more and have more negativity to report&encourage terror

Leave it to cnn to politicize everything. What has cnn done to help with this crisis? Not a damn thing. You've done nothing but criticize and stir up fear. No wonder your ratings are in the toilet.

Your failing the People CNN!!!!

Fact check this, Nancy with held corona funds on purpose. Bitch

Fact check this, Nancy sabotages medical supplies to help contain the virus

just stop. Why don't you try reporting news that actually helps instead of what fills your agenda.

Fact check this, yes Nancy sabotaged early efforts to contain the virus

Bullshit, China lied about everything to the whole world, if Nancy didn't sabotage early effects things would be so bad, fact

You mean he lied again and again ...

Rupert Murdoch’s network spent seven weeks defending Donald Trump’s constant lies that COVID-19 wasn’t going to hit us like a viral tsunami.

Although CNN help Trump dark China, but has already reported more facts news of Trump.

My once trusted channel CNN is all fucked up lately. They lie and twist facts. That is why I and millions other fair minded viewers watch it no more.

Why now? Why?

Fake news...CNN the enemy of mankind..

Make up your mind fact checker. You can’t get the US deaths right. One time it’s 400+ now it’s 193

FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople TrumpDerangementSyndrome

The only thing false is your news

His lying is causing the deaths of many. How is he still standing in front of us professing more lies He needs to go NOW.

Only 33

CNN begins March will Bullshit, and is on course to end March...with bullshit.

Why are they standing all clumped together? Just what they're not supposed to do.

He just decided a couple of weeks ago to get serious about the Coronavirus. Wasn't the end of February he said it was a Democratic Hoax.? Yet he stood right before cameras & said he acted Quickly & how he's been doing a good Job. I am Nauseated by his rhetoric. 👎😠😡🥱

Pathetic... FakeNewsCNN

Why isn't CNN reporting this?

I thought y’all had a Politics account. So this is considered FakeNewsMedia Politics

Good job CNN, keep up the totally divisive headlines.

Say it with me... 'LIES'..NOT FALSE CLAIMS.. outright, blatant, demonstrable LIES!!!

CNN, being so helpful as always. Your partisan bias is on full display, more than it has ever been. In the midst of one of the world's most extreme pandemics, instead of being helpful, you squander your platform on attacking the very person we should be cheering on. Despicable

Here you go spreading the Chinese propaganda,You need to be taken off the air you’re a terrorist news organization you’re trying to cause panic and have Americans be dead

You’re exhausting. Stop. Just. Stop.

Why aren’t they all six feet apart

No one can predict how a pandemic is going to play out! Trump has been a strong leader and done a great job and will easily be re-elected in Nov! 🇺🇸 No one in America buys the crappy Liberal agenda anymore!!

It was unforeseen , we had deal with global viruses before but nothing of this caliber and far reaching consequences such as the global economy crisis .

I wonder when Pr Trump sleeps? I see him working all the time. He did very well. Unlike pointless journalists who do nothing.

Nothing that Trump can say will top all the lies, exaggerations, and falsehoods told by CNN!

Just call them lies.

CNN didn't see on purpose, to busy reporting about an Ukrainian phone call. Meanwhile, Trump banned travel to China, was called a racist, did it anyway, saving maybe thousands

Ban these useless people that represent CNN!

CNN is just pure stupid.

PulpFiction SocialEngineering No nutrition in your content.

Because of Trump the USA is the 3rd highest cases of covid-19. Called it a hoax . He lied and said it's under control. Poor leadership. Might as well be running in circles.

The usual

Unfortunately he was listening to the cdc who was feeding him all the bs. CDC and WHO are in China’s pocket.

Moron

Look at trump keep bringing Ben Carson out lol. Yet you put him charge of public housing lol and not on your medical staff. Now you got the token black man up there lol.

This coming from the Communist News Network.Trump was keeping the panic at bay. He was also criticized by Democrats such as Schemer for stopping travel from China contending racism and xenophobia. The Obama administration waited 6 months before calling H1N1 an emergency. CNN liar
