Donald Trump has consistently claimed that “no one could have predicted” the coronavirus would become such a devastating pandemic. However, his own trade advisor Peter Navarro not only predicted it but even warned ‘The Donald’ that the virus would be historical and of epic proportions.
According to a stunning exposé from The New York Times, Navarro delivered a memo to the West Wing in late January warning that the coming coronavirus could cost the United States trillions of dollars and put millions of Americans at risk of illness or death.
“The lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine would leave Americans defenseless in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak on US soil,” the memo said. “This lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans.”
Navarro emphasized that the “risk of a worst-case pandemic scenario should not be overlooked” given the information coming from China. Then, in a second memo dated February 23rd, he warned of an “increasing probability of a full-blown COVID-19 pandemic that could infect as many as 100 million Americans, with a loss of life of as many as 1.2 million souls.”
The memo was first sent to the National Security Council and then distributed to several officials throughout the Trump administration. It then made its way to the West Wing and the desk of then-acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
Trump’s initial response to the impending coronavirus threat was to downplay it as nothing more than the simple flu. He then pivoted to using the virus as a political weapon. joining his buddies at Fox News by claiming it was all a hoax by the Democrats to ruin his reelection hopes. However, instead of tackling the pandemic at its first warning sign, Trump opted to play golf most weekends and push his own made-up narrative that it would all miraculously disappear without a whimper — losing nearly 3 months of valuable response time that has now cost lives and a ruined economy.
Donald Trump claimed no one saw this coming. Now, the Navarro memo has proven that ‘The Donald’ is nothing more than a shyster, a con man, and an outright liar.
Thanks for this DJ. More confirmation that a dangerous fool occupies the White House and HE has brought this entire nation to this sorrowful and Unprecedented place WE find ourselves today.
His incompetence, ignorance and depravity are on full display for ALL of America and the entire world to see. And I pray HE will someday soon be held accountable for it.
Trump, the craven sycophants that make up his administration AND the Repub leadership are Undeniably the greatest threat to Our nation. No other threat comes even close in my opinion.
