What the WH said about Trump's cancelled visit to the CDC: "The CDC has been proactive & prepared since the very beginning & the President does not want to interfere with the CDC’s mission to protect the health & welfare of their people & the agency.”
2-What Trump said: “We may go. They thought there was a problem at CDC with somebody that had the virus. It turned out negative, so we’re seeing if we can do it. But yesterday afternoon we were informed that there may have been a person with a virus, & they now find out that
3-"that was [a] negative test. They’ve tested the person very fully, & it was a negative test. So I may be going, we’re going to see if they can turn it around with Secret Service. We may be going.” This afternoon, Stephanie Grisham confirmed that Trump was going after all.
4-But it's fair to wonder why, if the WH knew of the potential case by Thursday afternoon, the VP was still talking about Trump’s visit to Atlanta as of 9 p.m. last night. This chaos only contributes to the economic insecurity & wavering panic among the public. #FridayThoughts
