The president of the United States is pushing politically expedient misinformation during a pandemic.

The fact of the matter is that states have been testing fewer than 100 people per day, on average, and CDC tested fewer than 100 people total in the first two days of this week.
"That means that, as of Wednesday morning, the CDC had tested only 77 people for the coronavirus since Sunday"

Even if the administration sent out a billion tests, the fact that people for some reason still aren't getting tested is a massive failure.

Reporter: "Are there worries about a pandemic at this point?"
Trump: "No. Not at all."

Feb 26:

Trump: "We're going down, not up. We're going substantially down."

March 7:

Trump: "I'm not concerned at all"

Today:

Trump: "I've always known this is a real...pandemic"
Trump asked in January about whether or not he's worried about a pandemic: "No. Not at all. And we're -- we have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's, uh, gonna be just fine."
Trump on Feb 26: "I think every aspect of our society should be prepared. I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up." whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

This is great.

I had a similar -- but not nearly as traumatic -- experience in Brussels about 15 years ago, junior year of college. I had been there for a few days with my best friend and two Australians we met on the bus from the airport, but they had all left the day before.
2/ I was going to go down in Italy the next day to meet another friend before going to my host family in France.

My only roomie that last night was a Lebanese man who called himself the Angel of Brussels and said God told him I would be the next King of Ireland.
3/ I went to sleep with all my bags on the bed, convinced he was either going to rob me or kill me, but when I woke up the next morning, he was gone.

With that, I essentially had the whole floor of the hostel to myself.

Democrats & DNC Media [BIRM!] have literally spent the past two weeks desperately hoping a virus pandemic would accomplish for them what their stupid RussiaGate & impeachment hoaxes failed to do:

Take down the President of the United States.
You had DNC Media Complex people today loudly whining about Trump getting the BIGGEST private sector health care companies like Walmart and CVS involved.

One MSNBC host described this fed. gov't outreach to the private sector as 'bizarre'.
Some idiot at The Atlantic magazine and Bill Kristol did a premature victory lap.

"Trump exposed at last!" they cried.

"Now he's finished!" they crowed!

If your assessment is that out of incompetence and self-interest the President is putting American lives at risk, that should be the theme of your news coverage.

If you are unable to make that assessment, that should be a focus of your efforts.

If you are unwilling, retire.
there’s no mention on the front page of nytimes.com of the fact that the president of the united states made public comments about coronavirus today that indicate he is incapable of competently addressing a public health emergency — and, worse, *unwilling* to do so.
Trump’s gonna get people killed, out of ego and incompetence, and the New York Times *does not give a fuck.*

If we found out at lunch Hillary Clinton had gone two days without updating the apps on her phone, there’d have been six NYT articles online before dinner.

1. Those following #QAnon last Feb saw #Q #2874, linking AP re "Acosta’s Role in #Epstein Deal", asking,

"How do you fill your admin if majority of those 'in politics' are corrupt?
#DRAININGTHESWAMP.
#Q"

2. #QAnon was signaling us last Feb that Acosta would leave. Today, Acosta resigned. @POTUS said it was Acosta's decision & praised his success.

3. Last night #QAnon cited #Epstein arrest in NYC, "Watch NYC", & "Watch CA". NYSPCC is hosting this fund raiser at NYC Standard Hotel in Sep. Go figure. Under the "Stars"? #Q

Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Mueller's team of prosecutors: "Do you consider these lawyers to be the best and the brightest in the field?"

Barr: "Not necessarily"

The AG of the United States is disparaging his own department. Barr has got to go.
Sen. Mazie Hirono to AG Barr: "Now the American people know that you are no different from Rudy Giuliani, or Kellyanne Conway, or any of the other people who sacrificed their once-decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office"
Sen @MazieHirono to Barr: “You lied to Congress…you did exactly what I thought you’d do, that’s why I voted against your confirmation. I expected you would try to protect the president. And indeed, you did.” #BarrHearing

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
