"Claim by libz that Trump said the Kung flu(COVID) was a hoax."


Show, cite the source quoting Trump using that phrase and terminology. 


 


Trump did say, when America had 1 case and the pandemic/epidemic would become firmly established in the next couple of months:




We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”


— President Trump, in an interview with CNBC, was asked about the first diagnosed U.S. case. He said he wasn’t worried about a pandemic.

 


“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”


— Trump tweet


 


“We only have five people. Hopefully, everything’s going to be great. They have somewhat of a problem, but hopefully, it’s all going to be great. But we’re working with China, just so you know, and other countries very, very closely. So it doesn’t get out of hand. But it’s, you know, it’s something that we have to be very, very careful with, right? We have to be very careful.”


— Trump, at a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa


 


 


We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”


— Trump, in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, when asked how concerned he was about the coronavirus


 


 


“We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”


— Trump, in his State of the Union address


 


 


“We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”


— Trump, in his State of the Union address


 


 


“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!”


— Trump tweet. Stock markets have since fallen into correction territory.


 


“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”


— Trump, at a coronavirus task force press briefing


 


Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. … One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over. … And this is their new hoax.”


— Trump, at a campaign rally in North Charleston, S.C.


 





“Gallup just gave us the highest rating ever for the way we are handling the CoronaVirus situation. The April 2009-10 Swine Flu, where nearly 13,000 people died in the U.S., was poorly handled.”


— Trump tweet. At the end of March, his approval rating would rise to a high point of his presidency, though a “rally-around-the-flag effect” was relatively small and has faded some.

 

 

Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is.”





— Trump, while visiting CDC headquarters in Atlanta. This was false. In fact, at this time testing capacity was about 75,000 nationally, according to the CDC.


 




“This was unexpected. … And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”




— Trump, to reporters at the U.S. Capitol


 

 





“The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low.”





— Trump, in an Oval Office address to the nation. He restricts travel from most of Europe, but also causes confusion about trade from the bloc.

 

 





“My administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible. Avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people. Avoid discretionary travel. And avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants and public food courts. If everyone makes … these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus. And we’re going to have a big celebration all together. With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly.”


— Trump, in announcing his social distancing guidelines

 

 

 

We’re getting rid of this virus. That’s what we’re doing. That’s the best thing we can do. By the way, for the markets, for everything — it’s very simple, very simple solution. We want to get rid of it. We want to have very — as few deaths as possible. This is a horrible thing.”





— Trump, in a task force briefing

 

 

 

“I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”

“America will again, and soon, be open for business — very soon — a lot sooner than three or four months that somebody was suggesting. A lot sooner. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself. We’re not going to let the cure be worse than the problem.”







— Trump, at a task force briefing


 




 


“Easter is a very special day for me. And I see it sort of in that timeline that I’m thinking about. And I say, wouldn’t it be great to have all of the churches full?”




— Trump, in a Fox News interview

 

 

 

Nobody would ever believe a thing like that’s possible. Nobody could have ever seen something like this coming, but now we know, and we know it can happen and happen again.”





— Trump at a task force briefing, claiming falsely that no one saw a pandemic like the coronavirus coming

 

 

 

And then Trump started to take the novel coronavirus threat seriously.
