Biden on Trump calling #covid19 a Dem hoax: “When you say things like that it just so diminishes the faith that people around the world have in the United States. The president of th US said it’s a hoax. It’s hard to believe. Even for him it’s hard to believe. It’s just bizarre.â€

“It’s able to be solved but it requires us to be absolutely level-headed and let the scientists have the lead in all of this. For him to start talk about it being a hoax is absolutely dangerous. It’s just not a decent way to act. I mean, it’s just about him.†https://t.co/97Ioz5u2cr

Biden was correct. Trump is more interested in goosing the stock market than he is protecting public health. Trump has been lying about his response to the pandemic and the timeline of the pandemic. Trump can’t be trusted on anything, but the fact that he is willing to lie to the American people about the seriousness of a pandemic and his response to it makes him a literal danger to American lives.
