🚨BREAKING: on the same February day that Trump falsely claimed the #coronavirus was “very much under control,” aides told the Hoover Institution the #outbreak could prove worse than publicly revealed, giving wealthy donors an early warning to SELL OFF.🤬

Kudlow revealed the #coronavirus was “contained in the US to date, but now we just don’t know,” per a document from a hedge fund consultant who attended the briefings: “What struck me,” was that nearly every official raised the virus “as a point of concern, totally unprovoked.”🧐

"Interviews w/8 people who either received copies of the memo or were briefed on aspects of it...provide a glimpse of how elite traders had access to info from the administration that helped them gain financial advantage during a chaotic 3 days when global markets were teetering.

The memo’s overarching message—that a devastating virus outbreak in the US was increasingly likely to occur, and that government officials were more aware of the threat than they were letting on publicly—proved accurate.

They PROFITED from DEATH.

Hello @SenatorLoeffler.🤬

To many who received or heard about the memo, it was the 1st significant sign of skepticism among Trump officials about their ability to contain the #coronavirus. It also provided a hint of the fallout that was to come: the upending of daily life.

#TrumpKnew and they ALL knew.🤬

“Short everything,” was the reaction of the investor. Meaning: bet on the idea that stock prices of companies would soon fall.

Trump and his cronies knew, and THEY PROFITED FROM AMERICAN DEATHS.

American blood for more profits for greedy @GOP donors.🤬

The author of the memo reported that NUMEROUS Trump administration officials—Kudlow, Pompeo & the Council of Economic Advisers, who gave the presentation at the WH on Feb. 24—expressed a greater degree of alarm about the #coronavirus than the administration was saying publicly.

Bottom line: Trump and his cronies all KNEW about the real threat of the deadly #coronavirus. Instead of warning the public and protecting American lives, they LIED and PROFITED off our loved ones' deaths.

Case closed. VOTE THEM ALL OUT.🤬
