And this is why the media is a joke. He never called it a hoax. None of what you have said is actually true in context. Pretty much the entire US Covid-19 hotspots can be traced back to Democrats telling people to keep going out.

The real question is why is the media telling such blatant lies, twisting what is said?
What a load of absolute nonsense. For a full six weeks from February to mid March Trump had the main pipeline of information being fed to him directly and he publicly dismissed and under sold the dangers of the virus. You don’t need media to see that, unless you are counting that you have to click on some kind of link somewhere to watch words come directly out of his own mouth time after time after time. The videos are all there of his comments. But even ...

There is also no denying that he, or his team, for which he must take responsibility, also disassembled specialist panels that had been put into place to prepare for such an eventuality.
Europe may be different but compare the US to Canada that has large cities with large transient Chinese and Asian communities. The rate of death per capita in the US is a lot higher than these Canadian cities.
Whilst other leaders look to reassure their population and give information with their daily briefings, Trump has thrown multiple multiple hissy fits, used his time to go to childish war with people that don’t think he is the absolute paradigm of perfection, pushed drugs that don’t work, pushed injecting disinfectant, chosen to talk about the TV ratings of his press briefings, declared shock that some staffer tested negative until one day that they tested positive as if not even understanding what e basic concept of a test is and all kinds of other ludicrous, shameful and embarrassing shows of how scarily stupid, narcissistic and self obsessed he truly is.
Honestly, I’m not even American but it utterly pains me to see how blind, militant and completely and utterly fooled his supporters are
