[QUOTE="fwGod, post: 74834914, member: 134658"] There's been a misunderstanding. [INDENT][COLOR=#000066]Trump referred to the alleged “politicizing” of the coronavirus by Democrats as “their new hoax.” He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax. Throughout the speech, Trump reiterates his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously. Politico appears to misconstrue the subject of the president’s statement, [URL='https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/28/trump-south-carolina-rally-coronavirus-118269']claiming[/URL] that Trump “tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term.” But an [URL='https://www.c-span.org/video/?469663-1/president-trump-campaigns-north-charleston-south-carolina&start=438']examination[/URL] of the video and transcript show Trump actually described Democratic complaints about his handling of the virus threat as “their new hoax.” Some Democrats, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Vice President Joe Biden, have [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/25/us/politics/trump-coronavirus.html']criticized[/URL] the administration’s response to the outbreak as rudderless and ill-prepared due to Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health budget cuts and leadership by Trump. But [URL='https://apnews.com/d36d6c4de29f4d04beda3db00cb46104']The Associated Press[/URL] called this characterization “distorted” since the agencies haven’t seen loss of funding and have a “playbook to follow for pandemic preparation” regardless of who’s president. At no point in the rally does Trump directly call the novel coronavirus outbreak a “hoax” or “conspiracy.” In fact, he [URL='https://www.c-span.org/video/?469663-1/president-trump-campaigns-north-charleston-south-carolina&start=438']refers[/URL] to the respiratory virus as a “public health threat” and reiterates “we have to take it very, very seriously. That’s what we’re doing. We are preparing for the worst.” Trump [URL='https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/coronavirus-trump-give-update-white-house-saturday-n1145921']denied[/URL] that he called the coronavirus a “hoax” in a Feb. 29 press conference. He said he was “referring to the action that they take to try and pin this on somebody because we’ve done such a good job. The hoax is on them. I’m not talking about what’s happening here.
