The White House is asking Congress for $2.5B to respond to the coronavirus that has killed more than 2,600 people in mainland China, but Speaker Pelosi called the request inadequate.

"We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!" Trump tweeted.over coronavirus fears. It was the worst day in two years for the blue-chip index.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that there have been two cases of person-to-person transmission in the U.S., and that the virus can be spread via respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The CDC says on its website that the virus is not currently spreading in the U.S.

Sure wish we would not have fired everyone and raped the budget for a wall

Lol Nancy doesn’t need permission, she has the checkbook

'She also accused the Trump administration of leaving vacant critical positions at the NSC & DHS. 'And now, the president is compounding our vulnerabilities by seeking to ransack funds still needed to keep Ebola in check,' Pelosi said.'

Of course Nancy, you can't agree with Trump, your base wouldn't approve. And it's about power and control, not America.

Is it going to be used for this or reassigned to build a wall Mexico was going to pay for?

Democrats work is to oppose anything trump purposes no matter of what good it is to the American people

Really.......

Inadequate = No earmarks for the Pelosi clan.

It seems obvious that not many have read this article, must less the entire headline. Pelosi advises that the WH request MORE than $2.5B for the coronavirus. And we’re still working on an ebola cure that can still spread. Read the article! Oh, wait! tRumpers can’t read!😆😆😆

Wasting our tax dollars

Of course...she wants people to die and then to blame Trump for political reasons...You Dems are sick puppies.

What is SpeakerPelosi doing, how dare Pelosi withold funding for the coronavirus. You do not mess around with this Nancy.

Is that not what the wall’s for?

People like this should never be allowed to hold public office. She’s a disgrace. What was that about party over country again Nanc?

Educate yourself

I don't get it.... He can commandeer billions for the wall but he has to grovel for money to stop a pandemic? How does American government work

Well, she needs her cut. 2.5B must not include her portion

If the President said oxygen is good for you she would hold her breath

InadequateTrump Too little too late!!! Thank You Nancy🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌲🇺🇸🌲🇺🇸🇺🇸

She only obstructs all day.

Why is anyone still listening to this crazy witch!! I mean it's obvious that she's a drink and has no clue what's going on anywhere much less here on the home front. Stupid bi-polar drunk.

Take it from the “Wall”.....

But we have it under control according to our fearless leader.

Of course she would.

She's right! We need $25B to build the wall!

Take the money from the wall. Will stop the virus as well as it stops immigrants.

Be careful cause Trump might want to divert some if that money for the wall he wants sone badly. You can’t trust a man who conned people so many times

Tell him he can use his “Emergency” wall $. SpeakerPelosi

Hope the speaker chokes on her words” I pray for the president “ BS, she hates his guts all Democrats and cry baby liberals do ... but he has try to screw the country over like Obama and Speaker has done, open boards and paying people to do nothing

If Nancy Pelosi says it’s not enough, then the president needs to ask for more money to help out here in the states. But Donald Trump is holding his pride!

2.5B Then divert the money to his ' falling wall'. Are you joking?

By inadequate Pelosi means it needs to be more money and also one of her family members needs to be in charge of the money

Democrats will resist any and EVERYTHING good. These people have no place in government.

She needs to go

Who didn't see that coming! A major outbreak, a couple weeks of panic, a couple billion in research for a cure, then a month later crickets!

This government seem too crazy about lavishing national resources without any thought of its implication

Tell trump to use his wall money. TellUsTheTruthAboutCoronaVirus

Fortunately President Trump ignores Dims selective outrage. He cut off air travel very early on (1/31) which has helped immensely. Places that were more worried about offending someone are now up to their eyeballs in the coronavirus.

Leaking,the Chinese army burns 1,200 Chinese bodies on a daily basis,the incinerators who have been counted to accommodate more than 1,200 bodies a day,leaks talk about thousands of dead bodies in villages and remote areas to escape health control, crows birds, killed by the army

I wouldn't be surprised if ANY funding allocated wasn't then diverted to his frigging Wall at the border.

2.5 billion barely covers the fraud, waste and abuse Democrats plan to introduce to the coronavirus funding bill much less what they expect to pocket for themselves.

Tear it up and start over.🙄

Wait wait I thought the April heat would take care of it?

Didn't we just divert that for a useless wall?

I have an idea we have Stuckerberg 80 billion Stuffett 90 billion Gates 113 billion Arnuts 106 billion Bozo 108 billion & tight ass reminds me of Hitler's henchman Geena Rinehard rhymes with Heydrich hmm? they can help?
