FACT CHECK: Trump says ‘nobody’ knew pandemic was coming. His adviser warned of it in January.

President Donald Trump said repeatedly in March that “nobody” could’ve predicted a crisis at the scale of the coronavirus pandemic wreaking havoc across the globe.

In a Jan. 29 memo about the coronavirus addressed to the National Security Council, Peter Navarro, President Trump’s trade adviser, warned that the “risk of a worst-case pandemic scenario should not be overlooked,” the Times reported. The disease could kill up to half a million Americans, Navarro warned in the document, and cost the U.S. trillions of dollars if no action was taken to contain the virus.

Story continuesThe paper said Monday that Navarro’s January memo was “the highest-level alert known to have circulated inside the West Wing as the administration was taking its first substantive steps to confront” the coronavirus crisis. Navarro called for Congress to approve emergency funds of at least $3 billion for prevention and treatment efforts.Navarro's Feb. 23 memo was unsigned and distributed through the NSC. It began:"There is an increasing probability of a full-blown COVID-19 pandemic that could infect as many as 100 million Americans, with a loss of life of as many as 1-2 million souls." https://t.

Fact check? He issued the same travel ban everyone else now has in January but you guys said it was racist

Because NO one ever believes it we can see that by people thinking it is not here but really those that dont get it are so lucky the poor people that got it have lost everything even their lives dont we think at all it will come to us

So he's lying about not knowing in advance everybody with a mind two ears & eyes knows it.

If you believe the NYT & AXIOS are reliable, trusted sources, and that's a big if, on 1/29 Navarro said epidemic/pandemic would be really bad. Not that it was coming. But still Trump stopped China travel 1/29 and 1/30 created task force. He took action. Dems critized.

Couldn’t have known it before this ...

We all know this man is a complete liar

Dem lawmaker says Trump saved her life by recommending hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus'If President Trump had not talked about this, it would not be something that's accessible for anyone to get, not right now,' Whitsett said. This shit is exhausting. Yes, the drug MIGHT treat issues from Covid-19 for some folks. It isn’t even fully vetted with most individuals as safe. In all cases, that’s not a cure, nor a vaccine, and Trump isn’t a doctor. BS Uh huh. Let's say this is true. Doesn't make up for, well, pretty much all the horrible, irresponsible, anti-American, anti-Christ's teachings things he has done & said every single day of his presidency. He & his republican party have dragged the US down into the deepest sewer.
