Trump today denied that he’d ever seen memos, written by his trade adviser beginning in January, that warned the coronavirus could cost trillions of dollars and imperil the lives of millions of Americans. “I didn’t see them. I didn’t look for them either”

on Monday night, only a few days ago, but he asserted that the documents lined up with his travel restrictions for foreigners coming from China.Navarro’s memos laid out in stark terms the catastrophic toll the virus could have — both on American lives and the U.S. economy — and prescribed a number of containment measures that might have seemed drastic at the time but that ultimately came to fruition.

Navarro’s Jan. 29 memo warned that without “aggressive” containment measures like the travel ban that he advocated, the cost to the U.S. economy could soar to nearly $6 trillion, compared with an economic hit of $2.9 billion to $34.6 billion a month with a travel ban in place. The memo also laid out an estimated death toll of up to half a million Americans.

You lie to much mr. Trump

Lies.

Did you think he would say anything else.

Plus, he doesn’t read anything

Satan adores your behavior. Mr T. Real Americans shake their heads in disgust

Translation: “ I didn’t do my job”.

Obviously, Trump ignored these memos because he can't read anything. ResignNowTrump

texyellowdogdem He didn't look for them 🤔 Is that a vindication?

I worked for a hospital for 26 years. 500 bed hospital and they were preparing the whole time I was there. They had a warehouse with 7 day supply but got rid of it for JIT just in time supplies to save money. Big mistake. All hospitals state and federal legislators failed us.

texyellowdogdem If you guys think I actually work here, I got a bridge in Brooklyn for you. Wuhan

LIAR

Key....didn’t look for them. Proof didn’t ask experts.

🤥🤥🤥🤥

Trumps corona virus response was the biggest political/leadership failure in all of American History

Does he ever read, discuss, pay attention to, take note of, watch or listen to anything of importance? All I ever hear is how he didn’t know about anything and therefore can’t be held responsible for the consequences.

Wait, what?

“I didn’t see the memo...I didn’t see the memo...I didn’t see the memo.” The president doth protest too much, methinks.

he didn’t “see” the memo- so follow up question- did anyone discuss the memo or brief you on it?

Drumpf doesn't deny, he simply lies.

So, he didn't see them or look at them. But did he glance at them? Or stare at them? Or maybe peer at them? We need answers!

Tool

Plausible deniability, did anyone ask him if he was verbally advised of the memo’s content, possibly Peter Navarro? Or did Trump have him write it as cover?

Do you believing

He doesn’t know Navarro , he got coffee

The nation's top 'Jerk' trying to weasel his way out of this virus mess by always blaming others. American's need another'Jerk' that'll accept and admit failure. Stop the lies. Stop blaming everyone else for your own failures.

He didn’t look for them?

Perhaps... “You’ll have to ask Michael”.

What else didn’t he see? Terror attack plans? Nuclear threats? Not seeing important things, that’s the really scary part.

May be it was not discussed on Fox news

Big deal no one knew for sure. What was the cry from every liberal once he closed travel to and from China at the end of January? What was Dr Fauci, De Blasio and Pelosi telling people in mid February? Better scour the archives because it's all been recorded for prosperity.

Start counting. I don’t know, I didn’t know him, I don’t know anything about that. This is Donald Trump. Always has been.

Are we surprised to discover yet another downright example of the utter irresponsibility & negligence of PresidentTrump ? COVIDー19 coronavirus

Totally inept and unqualified. Liar.

LIAR LIAR LIAR

realDonaldTrump

How could his trade advisor know anything? At that time it was only reported to be outbreaks of pneumonia & no deaths

Probability of lying = 99.9999%

Goddam lier you knew this was coming you cannot lie your way out of this over 12,000 deaths on your hands. For your wonderful medication Sweden says it’s not worth it. But keep lying

He doesn’t read. Anything

Not hard to believe. They require reading. Need I say more.

I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. So let a rational,logical, wise and smart peson take care of people well being and safety. It as simple ad this.

HE IS LYING....

Of course you didn’t look for them. The only thing you look for is ratings.

I know nothing

realDonaldTrump wouldn’t know if he sees it... he can’t read. covfefe

Liar.

If only we had a Sarbanes-Oxley equivalent to hold Trump accountable.

The face of a liar.

He knows all by himself, and does not need memos and reports from others, simple. As a genius, why should he need info from all the idiots around him?

If you didn’t see them, hear about them or look for them - it’s just further proof of how inept you are. Resign and let someone capable get us through this crisis.

It was not on fox news

Because I the President of the United States cannot read.

Liar .

43,000 Chinese have come into the US since Trump said he shut it down.

Trump doesn't read.

PantsOnFire

He ignored it.

So, big surprise, he’s admitting he doesn’t do his job.

Loss of shot term memory. It is called senility.

TrumpCannotRead

Because he doesn’t READ!

He was given the memo, he read it & all he did was stop arrivals from China. That slowed the spread to the US, but Trump continued to ignore the “hoax” and wasted valuable time. That’s why we’re so unprepared even w/ 2mos warning. That’s why he’s LYING about not reading the memo.

He’s a damn liar

This trump lie came to fruition

The bullshit meter just blew clear out of the solar system.

OMG I think I just blew a fucking blood vessel in my brain listening to this. Lie, shift, lie, imply he knew by instinct!! OMG I just can’t....😱😠🤪

jaredkushner can fix the post office

THIS SCUM INCOMPETENCE IS DESTRUCTION TO OUR NATION !

If I hadn't seen it for myself on live TV, I'd have a hard time believing that he actually admitted publicly that he didn't bother to read the memos that were right there for him to see. realDonaldTrump maddow TheLastWord 11thHour FoxNews CNN

Liar

bentzminger I just want everyone to hear how incompetent 45 is...one of your top ppl write a memo telling you that there is a serious threat of an epidemic and you didn’t read it 👀He almost told us he read it and shut down inbound from CN. He knew and he worried more about money than ppl!

LiarInChief

Mr President did you ever ask about medical masks? “ I did not see them I did not look for them” Did you see respirators? “I did not see them I did not look for them”

He doesnt sound intetested either.

He’s lying.

How much more lies till November?

'The mail ballots are corrupt in my opinion,' says Trump, who requested a mail ballot to vote in last month's Florida primary.

Oh for the love of The universe, stop with the Trump lies.

Joy4youandme He’s a liar

Of course. Why does the think he has any credibility

Everytime i see our President being bullied by the Democrat mafia’s media, the more I admire and respect him.🇺🇸🤛🏽

Sounds like your typical middle schooler.
