Called it a hoax. Called it a democrat ploy to hurt him through the stock market. Contradicts his experts that have to correct him. Blames Obama for problems with testing. Comes out with "hunches" on its lethality and talks nonsense about going to work with the virus and the virus dieing in spring and whatnot. And the sole lucky thing for your country is that no one believes him anyway. Or God forbid bases an important decision on your president's words. If you look for gross irresponsibility, that's the obvious place you might want to start.
Oh and his son goes on TV and blames Democrats to root for millions of deaths. Unsavory as it gets. You look for using the virus for cheap political shots, there you go.
Have to disagree with you on the bolded.
Certainly half the Trump base DOES believe him, just as bad, the more skeptical other half see health warnings from the MSM or House Democrats as "just spin" targeting Trump. Ingraham and McCarthy there to help them understand: "Dems would rather let people die than do the right thing."
Rep for everything else you said.
