I only trust Trump.   Too bad the vaccines turned his mind to mush.  He's 
so easily manipulated now, he's worse than a 3 year-old child.

12 of Trump’s worst coronavirus contradictions

previously said about the coronavirus at least seven times. (JM

After begging off a question earlier this week about Georgia Gov. Brian 
Kemp’s attempt to reopen his state’s economy, President Trump on 
Wednesday reversed course and weighed in against it.
“I disagree strongly with his decision to open up facilities which are in 
violation of the Phase I guidelines,” Trump said, referring to federal 
guidelines for reopening states’ economies. Trump said that it remained 
Kemp’s call but that the Republican governor’s decision was “too soon.”
It was a significant statement from a president who has himself been 
eager to begin the process of reopening states. And it also came after 
Trump previously offered very different comments — ones that vouched for 
Kemp’s actions.
“He’s a very capable man,” Trump said just a day earlier when asked about 
the situation in Georgia. “He knows what he’s doing.”
AD
But it was hardly the first time Trump has offered mixed messages — and 
even directly contradictory ones — on the coronavirus situation. As the 
outbreak has spread, Trump has often reversed himself and said things 
that bear no resemblance to previous statements he’s made.
Below are 11 more examples of his uneven commentary on the virus.

His ‘total’ authority vs. governors ‘calling your shots’
BEFORE
April 13: “The authority of the president of the United States, having to 
do with the subject we’re talking about, is total.” “I have the ultimate 
authority” on reopening the economy. “The president of the United States 
calls the shots.”
AFTER
April 16: “You are going to call your own shots.” “You’re going to be 
calling your shots.”
The flu comparison
BEFORE
Feb. 26: “This is a flu. This is like a flu.” “Now, you treat this like a 
flu.” “It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for.”
AD
AFTER
March 31: “It’s not the flu. It’s vicious.”
April 22: “Flu is very different from corona.”
On this being a pandemic
BEFORE
Jan. 22: On whether he was worried about a pandemic: “No, we’re not at 
all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from 
China.”
AFTER
March 17: “I’ve always known this … is a pandemic. I’ve felt it was a 
pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
On having ‘control’ over it
BEFORE
Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control.”
Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control.”

    The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in 
contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have 
been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good 
to me!

control in our country.”
March 15: “It’s something that we have tremendous control over.”
AFTER
March 16: “If you’re talking about the virus, no, that’s not under 
control for any place in the world. … I was talking about what we’re 
doing is under control, but I’m not talking about the virus.”
AD
China’s handling of the virus
BEFORE
Jan. 24: “The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and 
transparency.”
Feb. 7: Chinese President Xi Jinping is “strong, sharp and powerfully

    Donald J. Trump

    @realDonaldTrump
    Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi 
of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the 
counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even 
building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but...

called China. … Does anybody really believe that?”
April 17: “We don’t have the-most-in-the-world deaths. The most in the 
world has to be China.” (China’s official numbers are lower than the 
United States’s, though there are very valid questions about their 
accuracy.)
The success of testing
BEFORE
March 6: “Anybody that needs a test, gets a test. They’re there. They 
have the tests. And the tests are beautiful.” “The tests are all perfect, 
like the [Ukraine] letter was perfect — the transcription was perfect, 
right? This was not as perfect as that, but pretty good.”
AD

AFTER
April 21: “Testing is good in some cases, and in some cases it’s not.”
The media’s coverage of the virus
BEFORE

AFTER
April 13: Trump plays a bunch of video clips of media members downplaying 
the coronavirus, with the headline, “The media minimized the risk from 
the start.”
On calling it the ‘Chinese virus’
BEFORE
March 18: “It’s not racist at all. No, not at all. It comes from China. 
That’s why. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.”
AFTER
March 24: “Look, everyone knows it came out of China, but I decided we 
shouldn’t make any more of a big deal out of it. I think I’ve made a big 
deal. I think people understand it.”
March 26: “It got out there and I started calling it the Chinese virus, 
and everybody picked it up. And, you know, I’m not looking to do that. 
Look, it’s better to have a good relationship.”
AD
March 26: “This was a Chinese virus. But I don’t have to say it, if they 
feel so strongly about it.”
On New York’s need for ventilators
BEFORE
March 26: “I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators.”

need the equipment they ask for, “I didn’t say that. Come on.”

Ventilators.’ We gave him a small fraction of that number, and it was 
plenty.”

    Donald J. Trump

    @realDonaldTrump
    Cuomo ridiculously wanted “40 thousand Ventilators”. We gave him a 
small fraction of that number, and it was plenty. State should have had 
them in stockpile!

but we’re going to look at it.”
On chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine being a ‘game changer’
BEFORE
AD
March 19: “We think it has a very serious — a very good impact on what 
we’re talking about with respect to the virus. So you’ll take a look at 
that. Then you can coordinate with us. But I think, to me, that’s a game 
changer.”
AFTER
April 21: After a Veterans Affairs study indicated the treatment could be 
counterproductive, “I don’t know of the report. Obviously, there have 
been some very good reports, and perhaps this one is not a good report. 
But we’ll be looking at it.”
