When Revenge Revenge… From the “miraculous disappearance” of the coronavirus and the use of disinfectants as medicine, Donald Trump was quarantined on Friday after testing positive for the virus he had so underestimated (at least in public).
For months, Trump has ignored infectious disease specialists about the severity of the pandemic, refraining from taking action, avoiding wearing a mask, criticizing those who wear it, and holding large pre-election rallies with his supporters who attend without a mask, despite the recommendations of health officials. As a result, his associates fell ill with Covid-19, and eventually he and his wife.
Although he has been criticized for his response to the pandemic, which has already killed 200,000 people in the United States, the US president praised the way he handled the health crisis.
Here are some indicative statements:
– January 22 on CNBC: “We have it under total control. He is a man who came from China and we have him under control. Everything will be fine”.
– January 24 on Twitter: “China is working very hard to stop the coronavirus. The United States highly values your efforts and transparency. Everything will be fine. “Above all, on behalf of the American people, I want to thank (Chinese) President Xi Jinping.”
– February 23 to journalists: “We are very busy. We are fully aware of everything that is happening. “We have everything under control in this country.”
– February 27 from the White House: “It will disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear. “
– March 10 after meeting with Republican senators: “It was not expected (…) And it hit the world. And we are prepared and we are doing an incredible job. And it will disappear. Just stay cool. Will disappear”.
– March 15 in a White House report: “It is a very contagious virus.” It is amazing, but it is something that we are extremely controlling.
– March 18 on Twitter: “I have always taken the Chinese virus seriously and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my timely decision to close the ‘border’ with China, despite the desire of almost everyone.”
– April 3 at an information session at the White House: “With the masks, it will actually be optional. You can do it, you don’t have to. I choose not to do it, but there are people who want to do it and that’s fine (…) When I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens (…) I don’t see it as something that suits me ”.
– April 23 at a White House briefing: “I see the disinfectants that kill you (the coronavirus) in a minute, a minute, is there a way to do it by injecting or cleaning?” Because you see it going to the lungs and it hurts a lot, so it would be interesting to review it. ”When asked about it, the US president said he did not encourage people to drink disinfectants and explained that his comments were sarcastic.
– May 21 during a visit to a Ford factory: “I was wearing a mask, but I didn’t want to give journalists the pleasure of seeing it.”
– July 12 when he appeared in public with a mask for the first time: “When you are in a hospital (…) when you talk to soldiers, people who in some cases have just come out of an operation, I think it is incredible to wear a mask “.
– July 22 at an information session at the White House: “We ask everyone, when they cannot keep their distance, to wear a mask, to buy a mask.” Like it or not, they have an effect (…) and we need what we can (…) I will use it with pleasure (…) Anything that can help is fine ”.
– September 29: “I wear a mask when I need it.” Mocking his presidential candidate Joe Biden, Trump added: “I don’t wear masks like him. Every time we see him, he wears a mask. He can speak within 200 feet of them and he appears wearing the largest mask I have ever seen.”
When asked if he was concerned about the spread of the coronavirus to his rallies, the president of the United States replied: “So far we have not had any problems. They are done outdoors, that is the big difference, according to the experts. And the we do it outdoors, we gather crowds (…) In some of these meetings 35,000-40,000 people participated ”.
