“Did we get good advice from the president of the United States for the first 12 weeks? No. All we got were lies...Speaking as a public health person, this is the most irresponsible act of an elected official that I've ever witnessed.” wired.com/story/coronavi…
“Trump pushed out the admiral on the National Security Council, who was the only person at that level responsible for pandemic defense. With him went his entire downline of employees and staff and relationships. And then Trump removed the [early warning] funding for countries.”
BRIGHT SIDE: “I firmly believe that the steps that we're taking will extend the time that it takes for the virus to make the rounds...This is not a zombie apocalypse. It's not a mass extinction event.”
“Epidemiologist Larry Brilliant, who warned of pandemic in 2006, says we can beat the novel coronavirus—but first, we need lots more testing.”

On the $500 billion loan program for struggling businesses: “Democrats also secured a provision that will block Trump family businesses — or those of other senior government officials — from receiving loan money under the programs, Mr. Schumer said.” nytimes.com/2020/03/25/us/…
“The family real estate firm of Jared Kushner...could lose its hold on a large retail property it owns in the old New York Times building...Kushner Companies hasn’t made its March mortgage payment for the 250,000 square foot retail space.”

“Mitigation can buy us time, but only suppression can get us to where we need to be.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“We could develop tests that are fast, reliable, and ubiquitous. If we screen everyone, and do so regularly, we can let most people return to a more normal life...If we can be assured that the people who congregate aren’t infectious, they can socialize.”
“We can build health-care facilities that do rapid screening and care for people who are infected, apart from those who are not. This will prevent transmission from one sick person to another in hospitals and other health-care facilities.”

But, but - it *was clearly* in his own administration’s wildest dreams:

"The work done over the past five years, however, demonstrates that the government had considerable knowledge about the risks of a pandemic and accurately predicted the very types of problems Mr. Trump is now scrambling belatedly to address."
nytimes.com/2020/03/19/us/…
“Nobody ever thought of numbers like this,’’ Mr. Trump said on Wednesday, at a news conference.

In fact, they had.

@MoiraDonegan It's a "bad faith and factually false assertion that rape … 'have no gender'"? There's a feminist academic who disagrees with you. I'm not sure what data you're basing your statement that "[n]early all rapists are men; the vast majority of victims are women," but I can guess.
@MoiraDonegan Consider “The Sexual Victimization of Men in America: New Data Challenge Old Assumptions” by feminist Lara Stemple and epidemiologist Ilan H. Meyer published in 2014 in the _American Journal of Public Health_, volume 104, issue 6, on pages e19–e26 (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…).
@MoiraDonegan "[F]ederal surveys detect a high prevalence of sexual victimization among men—in many circumstances similar to the prevalence found among women."

Am J Public Health. 2014 June; 104(6): e19.

Contrary to your assertion, the vast majority of rape victims are not women.

Today, I'm sharing my plan to transition to #MedicareForAll. In my first term, we will reverse Trump’s sabotage of the ACA, lower drug prices, lower the Medicare age to 50 and create a true Medicare for All option—and fully transition to #MedicareForAll. elizabethwarren.com/plans/m4a-tran…
As president, I’ll reverse Donald Trump’s efforts to sabotage the Affordable Care Act and will protect people with pre-existing conditions. And in my first 100 days, I’ll take executive and legislative action to reduce health care costs and improve coverage.
First, I’ll act immediately as president to lower the costs of critical drugs—including specific drugs that millions of Americans currently rely on, like insulin and EpiPens. And I'll crack down on corruption to rein in health insurers and drug companies.

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
