Scientists say a least ten million Americans will contract coronavirus.
That number could be as many as 150 million. And Trump is bungling the nation’s response.
Carl Cameron, Front Page Live co-founder and ex-Fox News reporter, has collected here a partial list of Trump’s deadly, ignorant lies to the America public:

Asked by CNBC if the US was concerned about the coronavirus pandemic Trump said “No. Not at all. And 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.”

Trump tweeted “It will all work out well.”
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 on Hannity: “How concerned are you?” Trump: “Well, we pretty much shut it down coming in from China. We have a tremendous relationship with China, which is a very positive thing. Getting along with China, getting along with Russia, getting along with these countries.”

Trump told Phoenix TV station “I think the numbers are going to get progressively better as we go along.”
Trump calls COVID-19 “very much under control…We had 12, at one point. And now they’ve gotten very much better. Many of them are fully recovered.”
Trump moments ago: "They think August, it could be July, could be longer than that."
On February 23, Trump pronounced the coronavirus situation "very much under control": "We had 12, at one point. And now they've gotten very much better. Many of them are fully recovered."

Bragging that he had things under control, Trump tweeted “Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
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!

The next day he tweeted more self-praise:
CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world. It was opposed by the Dems, “too soon”, but turned out to be the correct decision. No matter how well we do, however, the…..

He wasn’t done for the day, however, because he also said: “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away.”

Trump lies about the growing crisis, “We’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
He went on to say, “when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

Trump continues to downplay, “We’re talking about a much smaller range.”
He also hints that relief is on the way, “A lot of things are happening a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

Trump lies to Hannity, “It’s very mild.”
He even claims that people can continue to work while infected, “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”

He walked back the statements from the previous day:
I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work. This is just more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Democrats, in particular MSDNC. Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made!

Trump makes a claim that everyone can get a text:
“Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
He also admitted why he didn’t want the cruise ship to dock in California, “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”

While addressing the nation, Trump refuses to take any blame.
“I don’t take responsibility at all”
