ALL CAP: While Trump Gaslights The Country About COVID-19, Forever Prez Barack Obama Gives Us Presidential Vibes, Thanks Workers

 

While Trump gets in front of the nation and spew literally whatever comes to his mind first, forever president Barack Obama is still serving presidential vibes. More inside….

If gaslight was a person - it would be Trump.

His “updates” on details about the Coronavirus are quite misleading and not long ago he was assuring Americans COVID-19 wasn’t that bad, making claims the deadly virus was not as bad as the seasonal flu.

"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu," Trump tweeted. "It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!”

Sir.  There's plenty of tests for the common flu.  Not so much for Coronavirus, due to you.

Earlier this month, he also said he was not worried about having had direct exposure to the Coronavirus and that the U.S. was in far better shape than other countries. Pretty much downplaying the dangers of the virus.

CNN's Don Lemon put the president on full blast for saying he’d “always known” it was a pandemic and even “felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic." Last month, Trump said "we" had already shut it down, he said hotter weather will kill the virus and it'll miraculously go away, and that the virus is going to "disappear one day like a miracle it'll disappear." Check it:

Trump said "we were prepared." Nope.

 

TRUMP JUST NOW: "We were very prepared."

Then why is the United States so dangerously behind other countries in COVID-19 testing?pic.twitter.com/3XhY3OvUsJ

Trump said the virus snuck up on us. Not true.

 

This is from February 12.

Trump today: "It snuck up on us."

He is a gaslighting LIAR, and his dithering cost American lives. #TrumpVirus https://t.co/bXKCNCw3Np

"It snuck up on us." Trump during today's presser. No, it did not. This was a major problem in China in December.

The President says this “snuck up on us” re: coronavirus.

No, it didn’t sneak up on US. YOU ignored it. You called the reaction to it a Democratic “hoax”.

This began in January and you’re just now taking it seriously.

It may have snuck up on YOU. It didn’t sneak up on US.

More lies from today's Trump press conference:
"I have always known it was real."
"It snuck up on us."
"People like the job we are doing."#TrumpLiedPeopleDied pic.twitter.com/z6Qp7zjgM7

He's totally disregarding health experts and is just saying anything. It's problematic and dangerous to say the least.

Trump sent a message to the American people about the "invisible enemy" after meeting with FEMA today (above) and speaking with U.S. governors:

Meanwhile...

 

We owe a profound debt of gratitude to all our health professionals and everybody who’ll be on the front lines of this pandemic for a long while. They’re giving everything. May we all model our own behavior on their selflessness and sacrifice as we help each other through this. https://t.co/F3tsJTqd4c

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 17, 2020

 

Forever President Barack Obama is still in presidential mode, reminding us all that we need to be grateful for health professionals on the front lines, transit and airport workers, first responders, and everyone else who's doing their part to keep our communities going.

 

Not everybody can stay home, and we owe a big debt of gratitude to health professionals, transit and airport workers, first responders, and everyone keeping our communities going. Leaders have to step up to support people whose lives and livelihoods take a hit in the weeks ahead.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 15, 2020

 

He reminded us to check on our elderly loved ones:

 

In the meantime, remember to check up by phone on elderly or vulnerable friends and neighbors who may need our help.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 18, 2020

 

And he has highlighted organizations people can contact to help others in need:

 

The best part of my job was meeting people like this—ready to make a selfless act in a time of need. Many Americans are already making deep sacrifices to keep our communities healthy, but if you’re able to, consider helping those hit the hardest. https://t.co/CdrMsC6VXF

Thanks, Mr. President.
