Trump to detail US coronavirus efforts, Schumer seeks $8.5B

Source: AP News

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said he’ll discuss the coronavirus threat at a White House news conference Wednesday, a day after he sought to minimize fears of the virus spreading widely across the U.S.

Trump tweeted that representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and others, would join him at the late-afternoon appearance.

Trump and members of the administration have been sending mixed messages about the virus.

The CDC on Tuesday warned the American public to prepare for an an outbreak of the disease, which has spawned more than 80,000 cases around the world but relatively few so far in the U.S.

He was conditioned to effort power over the weak.
He is completely unable to deal with this sort of matter.

They should have stopped the repug defunding of the department that drumpf personally requested! Besides there is no real threat, the virus will die in the summer heat, it would never dare hit here because this is trumpland, it's fake news from China and antifa.

I am sure he will not show how competent the department is and how they have tests out to every state - because those of course are not happening because he defunded the entire freaking department. He couldn't find a way to profit off of it or to use it hurt poor/working class or help PUtin so it had zero value to him. He is a germaphobe, so of course is terrified of this, so will lie and say there is zero threat. Wonder how he plans on stopping news of this if it gets bad, because that's all he wants, no bad news. He doesn't care if thousands die, as long as they aren't KKK, white nationalists, Nazis, religious fundamentalist fanatics, criminals, or greedy rich.

He'll never stop; it's part of his political strategy.

ABD. Always Blame Democrats.
