In what’s yet another clap back at Trump for his downplaying of the coronavirus, a new coronavirus ad has been created, and it is devastating.
The video pinpoints all the downplaying Trump did, and the way he seemed to be in complete denial that a pandemic was approaching.

The Recount created an entire calendar outlining the many weeks of Trump lying about the coronavirus, which according to this list of his lies, is a lot.

Since January, Trump has said everything is under control. When it began to affect the stock market, he still seemed to care more about the plummeting numbers of stocks than the rising numbers of coronavirus cases.
Recently, in a March 10 briefing, Trump said: “We’re doing a great job with it, it will go away, just stay calm. But be calm, it’s really working out and a lot of good things are going to happen.”
Trump’s “be calm” sounds a lot like Melania’s “be best.”

Twitter isn’t falling for the lies or the lies about lies.
I don’t need a news network to see Trump’s lies. He lies about lies about lies. It is sickening.

But he followed it by saying “I don’t take responsibility at all,” blaming previous administrations for delayed test-kits distribution as he said, “we were given a set of circumstances and we were given rules, regulations and specifications from a different time.”
It is still astounding that we have a president who lies about everything; when it doesn’t matter and when it matters a lot. People are dying and trump is still lying. Does he even know what the truth is?#coronavirus #trumpresign

The fact remains though that nearly every time experts advised people to take action to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, Trump said, “It’s going to be just fine,” according to a report from the New York Times.
Lest we forget, on Jan 22, two days after first reported case in the U.S., Trump said:
"We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine."

What a time to have a leader who thinks a global pandemic is nothing to worry about.
This would be a devastating Biden ad.
