Trump reportedly ignored intel briefings on coronavirus threat
As the Post's report explained, the PDB did precisely what it was supposed to do: it highlighted the growing viral threat; it raised doubts about the veracity of the claims from Chinese officials; and it warned of dire domestic consequences. What's more, the frequency with which the coronavirus was mentioned in the PDB "reflected a level of attention comparable to periods when analysts have been tracking active terrorism threats, overseas conflicts or other rapidly developing security issues."

Unless Trump does something really appealing between now and November Biden will be our next president (his shenanegans with women notwithstanding).

That should be of some comfort. ;)

Well...apparently they brought brightly colored charts:
How Fauci and Birx got Trump to listen to science - CNNPolitics

tulc(guesses it helps to understand the...limitations...of their audience) :wave:
I used to make loads of charts for General Officers. Not understanding your point. Most high level leaders are visual.

Only one General I briefed often forbade Power Point slides and wanted to see the actual number crunching and prepared notes.

Debunked not once but twice now:

Washington Post Publishes Damning Report On Trump Admin. DNI Ric Grenell Debunks It.

Or is the WashPo now admitting China lied about the virus spread?

Everyone - even if they don't wish to admit it - knows China is responsible.

One thing I have noticed? The media is going to do what they want too. When they know its a story with false information? They don't apologize - which they demand of others. They do not explain why they did it - which they demand of others. When people do call them out to much? They get pretty bent out of shape - ie thin skinned. They tend to be a projection machine (in the Psychological sense).

I'm no huge fan of the President, but I can admit when he has a win. I can admit he yammers WAY to much, and there are many things that bug me about him. Yet, the media isn't doing themselves any favors either. They aren't elected and they can be just as bad. Their headlines to many times are misleading, and they count on people JUST reading them...and not the article. To many times their OWN article debunks their headline. People need to check out the links they supply too. Makes a difference there too. That makes NO sense to me at all. Don't call Trump a liar if you can't even get your own facts straight. When you can do that without the misleading stuff? I'm there with you!

Honestly? I think one thing they aren't counting on? People are grounded right now (literally), and are scared. They pay more attention than they used to, because their life depends on it. A friend of mine - lol a true Trump hater though and though - tells me she is impressed with the federal response within her state (hotspot), and isn't impressed with the media at the briefings and other things. She understood the limitations of the world under this virus, and how everyone was going to fight tooth and nail for medical supplies and help for their citizens. How despite junk that went wrong - which is going to happen - help overall was there when needed. You could have knocked me over with a feather when she said it. She is one that if he says right - she says left. When he says up - she says down. The press is losing credibility as time goes on, and I don't say that with joy. It makes me angry in fact.

The OP article claims “sources” knew their was intelligence COVID19 was spreading in China in November. The PDB is the same brief the various House and Senate intelligence committee heads receive. So if the author of the article were honest he or she would point that out and how our entire elected government ignored it. For that House that would none other than Adam Schiff.

The other trigger point here is the author would have to admit China lied when saying the first cases were not until late December and that the WHO was also complicit in spreading the lie.

Meaning they need to choose their poison.

Even with all of the good works that Trump has already completed regarding the CV, Biden couldn't even step in at this point and know how to finish off the battle.

I will not believe that the Country has sank that low
not yet anyway.
