Trump Has Not Misled The Country, His Opponents Are Misleading Us
September 10 2020 By Abiodun Giwa
I have before me on my desk at the moment a New York Times news report "Trump Administration Restricts Entry Into U.S. From China" published on January 31. It is about the shutdown of flights from China on the onset of Covid's trouble. The report was updated on February 10.
Now let us go back to the content of Bob Woodward's book or the tape he said he relied upon for a part of his book's content and currently riling the political landscape of the United States.
Trump was first briefed about Covid on January 23 and 28, according to the NPR's report "Trump received Intelligence briefings on Coronavirus twice in January" published May 2, 2020. Therefore, Woodward isn't the first source of that information. If the president received the first report on January 23 or 28 and he shutdown flights from China on January 31, probably following the second briefing with him on January 28, wasn't that swift enough?
All these times, China never came clean of what what happening in China. The World Health Organization, WHO, played a game of the virus was not transferable from human to human. Meanwhile, the president took the matter seriously to a level that the virus could be inhaled through the air. But scientists have not confirmed his views and he could not have come out and tell Americans his thoughts at the time. if he had said it, they would have weaponized it against him that he was creating panic to divert attention away from the impeachment hearings.
Where is the portrayal of a leader who has failed to take the Covid seriously that Joe Biden and his followers are drumming around the country? .In Woodward's tape, the president reportedly said the virus was deadly. But in his campaign tours, the president calmed Americans that the virus may not last longer and that it may soon go away. And he had explained the reason for his light hearted statement about the virus. He said he did not want to create panic in the country. Was shutting down flights from China not enough for anyone to know the seriousness of the government over the virus?
When the president shut down flights from China, Biden called him Xenophobia. And Nancy Pelosi went to a party at a Chinatown and portrayed the president's shutting down of flights from China as uncalled for. Were the Democrats ashamed of saying the president misled the country because he did not come out and say a killer is in town, despite his efforts to stop the killer from coming to town.
