President Trump tells @rachelvscott he “learned about the gravity" of COVID-19 "sometime just prior to closing the country to China.”
The U.S. restricted entry from China on Jan. 31. The intelligence community warned of COVID-19 as early as November. https://abcn.ws/3e9uz1p pic.twitter.com/V4EGqNcjrj
He said it was contained when it wasn't. Like a zoo saying an escaped tiger is contained while it's out killing people because they are not taking precautions. He demonised experts and the media for warning people. Can you see the damage? He lied and people died.
