to shift Trump's response to the outbreak, which had been focused on downplaying the threat and accusing the media of creating undue concern.over his response to the pandemic while his administration weathered criticism for the lack of coronavirus testing being done compared with other countries.
In addition to having insisted for weeks that he had the outbreak under control, Trump has also propagated. As panic began to set in over the outbreak, Trump tried to quell the fears of Americans across the country by giving a speech from the Oval Office on Wednesday night. Heand offered a series of economic relief actions to help workers and companies deal with the outbreak. But his speech was met with swift pushback after he misstated several aspects of the policy and failed to propose any new action to combat the outbreak domestically.
Health officials in recent days have sounded the alarm, warning the public that the outbreak is likely to get worse. Many major public events, including all NBA, NHL, MLS and MLB preseason games and Broadway shows, have been canceled this week, and Thursday saw
No one should trust him with so much power now !!!!!
Ah yes, the Democratic Hoax National Emergency 😎
MalcolmNance But... but...its only a hoax isn't it?
Did Nancy get her abortion money added in?
Trump knows best....he cares.
National emergency for a hoax Did Jared give his ok?
We must cancel the election
He is so incompetent .
Panic is much more dangerous than the virus , be calm and quarantine, and chill. Let our president do his job and place your vote at the next election.
So much winning.....but her emails,tho. ItIsWhatItIs
Please delay him until 4PM EST
toooooooo late
He caught it, didn't he?
MalcolmNance Glad he’s on top of things. Yes. That was sarcasm.
Absolutely ridiculous, how people are reacting to this.
STEP 1: RESIGN
Americans are not being reassured, too many missteps, uncertainties.
Good. Credit where credit is due
MalcolmNance Americans have been under a National Emergency since Trump got in office. HIS bungling ineptness of the test kits is skewing the numbers. He lacks the intelligence needed for ANY decision past what KFC to eat that night or what club to use at golf.
MalcolmNance Too little too late. trump is a monster.
MalcolmNance Donnie come lately!
I feel so much safer now, don't you?/s
This is how we are preventing the spread These 2 students are STILL IN CLASS pending results 🤔
We go from Hoax to national emergency in 10 days.
MalcolmNance WAY TOO LITTLE, WAY TO LATE...but it’s a start.
MalcolmNance That is a photo of the National Emergency.
NBC29 why wouldn’t he after every other governor in most of the affected states have already done that for him, had he done what he should have done in the first place and not held his political aspirations ahead of his fellow countrymen we may not be at this point🍊🥊
MalcolmNance I’m watching the Lakers instead 🤔
China is now shifting the blame on America.
But only 41 people have died in the U.S.
Query how much of that the Trump Spawn will get. A lot.
ParryPierce Is there anyone on this planet that doesn't know that when he says he has powers no one knows about, that he is planning on declaring himself president for life like his buddy Putin?
I guess his uncle’s MIT degree DNA finally kicked in 🙄
Wait... wasn’t it a scam a hoax?
For a hoax? This pos potus realdonaldtRump needs to be evicted from illegally squatting in the WhiteHouse immediately. COVID19
Too late bitch
Took long enough. TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER TrumpVirus2020 TrumpCrash2020 Covid_19 coronapocalypse
Did he not have time to announce this in prime time two days ago? Just hoping something sticks. Flailing like he’s drowning. He is!
wbaltv11 Over a hoax?!
How about his and pence resignations so Pelosi can take over
realDonaldTrump is this at the same level or worse than the emergency for building the wall?
kulvdub I thought he said it was a hoax?
But, I thought it was a hoax and an impeachment scandal?!
So it’s not a hoax anymore?
Translation: he has it
Just the 'common cold' eh
There no virus wat is coming
NBCPolitics And to abuse emergency powers in the name of the media hoax.
He will lie and what he says will benefit him and his rich friends
Kick covid19s ass
NBCPolitics
Wait...but last week he said it was a hoax cooked up by the liberals 🤔
MauraLeeLang I thought this was a hoax being hyped by the media.
Lardohontas is the national emergency. Lock him up for life!
Trump just tested positive for being an incompetent bag of rusty nails.
National Emergency for a hoax.
Trump has no other choice. He created this emergency
But I still have school🤡
STOP TRY TO TIE TRUMP INTO THE REASON FOR PANIC. ITS YOU IDIOTS
We are just going nuts. We never did this for the Swing Flu, nor the 18 other Coronavirus virus. This Coronavirus 19. Closing school, closing travel. People beginning to stalk pile food, paper goods. Come on just do the basics wash your hands often, stay home if sick, disinfect.
welp rip
Pajjr2016 🤣Gotcha
A little late
wow does that mean this is just as much of an emergency as building 2 miles of wall ?
Who woke him up?
Mhmmm now?
But I thought the numbers would go down to zero?
right on course..
So it’s no longer a hoax?
Judy7kay Trump doesn’t know his arse from his elbow!
Should've been done days ago...
Attn: President trump declares national emergency over HOAX!
Day late and a dollar short but okay, I guess
65,853,514 Americans declared a National Emergency November 8th, 2016.
The ‘national emergency’ could have been avoided if Senate had voted to impeach it.
Ah yes, news from our embarrassingly incompetent and dishonest 'president'.
Well isn't that a mighty quick response. Idiot.
He's gunning for martial law and suspended elections...
Where is the money going to come from (isn't that what the Republicans always ask?) Now how about some TESTS
But I thought it was a Democratic hoax? 🤔🤦♂️🤡 This was Trump just a few weeks ago
Too little too late!!
AFTER states have had to declare an emergency.
Does anyone trust Trump and his admin to do the right things with these expanded powers?
But I was told this was an overblown hoax
It's about damn time! realDonaldTrump
“It will just go away. Like a miracle”
finally...took your sweet time about it
Doublethink = believing Fox News when it tells you Covid-19 is all a hoax to bring down Trump while simultaneously applauding Trump for being a great leader for declaring Covid-19 a national emergency.
National emergency over a HOAX? TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER TrumpVirus
Good
He’s ONLY doing this now because he’s been exposed and he’s worried. Detestable swine!
A little too late. He NEVER took this seriously and is now trying to backtrack. He needs to be kicked to the curb!! So disgusted by this POS!
Quick to blame Trump for testing. CDC tightly controlled due to exotic diseases. These experts live in this culture. This is less deadly disease and reasonable to decentralize to labs across country. bureaucracy slows testing down. Open it up and move on. Stop blaming. Move
Funny there wasnt a national emergency before the stock market plummeted? (Or how it hasn't 'just gone away', or how it isnt a 'Democrat hoax 🤣)
It's about time! Took him long enough,dumbass!
This is like if Hitler just thought he could write an apology to the Jewish community & expect everything to be cool afterwards. TOO LATE!!
Be wary of this. Once this is declared regions could fall under martial law.
I thought we already were in the middle of a national emergency. Isn't that how he got funding for the Wall?
Wow. That’s some really swift action. Nice work POTUS. About two months late on this
It’s about f...cking time. He’s only 3 months too late
I just want to know WHERE tests are available and WHEN/IF I can get tested in my area. Everything else is bull💩
Another delayed move that should have already been done.
He must have tested positive.
