Trump has been holding daily coronavirus briefings since March 14 — and he’s told numerous lies in the process.
Since March 14, Donald Trump has been holding daily press briefings, ostensibly about the COVID-19 pandemic and what his administration is doing to combat it.
In the process, he’s told numerous lies on everything from the severity of the virus to his administration’s response.
The list is by no means exhaustive. He has also repeated many of these lies on multiple occasions. However, here are 59 of the worst lies he told in the course of a month, in chronological order.
1. “It’s a very contagious virus. It’s incredible. But it’s something we have tremendous control of.” — Trump at a March 15 White House news conference.
Trump claimed he has the coronavirus under control.
However, experts say that is not the case. Public health experts said that the virus was still spreading, and that without drastic social distancing measures, the virus would spread and the number of cases would overwhelm hospitals across the country.
When asked what he meant when he said we had “tremendous control,” he admitted it wasn’t true that the virus is under control, and that he was referring to the response to the virus, not the virus itself.
“I was talking about what we’re doing is under control. But I’m not talking about the virus,” Trump said.
2. “We have a problem that, a month ago, nobody thought about.” — Trump at a March 16 White House news conference.
Actually, the coronavirus has been around for months, with the first case dating back to Nov. 17, 2019, in China, according to the South China Morning Post.
Two former members of Trump’s administration were issuing warnings in January that the United States needed to act to “prevent an American epidemic.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden also wrote in January as the coronavirus spread across the globe that the “possibility of a pandemic is a challenge Donald Trump is unqualified to handle as president.”
3. “I felt this was a pandemic long before it was a pandemic.” — Trump at a March 17 White House news conference.
Trump has long downplayed the impacts of the coronavirus, even as experts warned of the spread and how it could overwhelm the United States medical system.
4. “I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously.” — Trumo in a March 18 tweet.
The name Trump used for the novel coronavirus is racist and xenophobic, and has contributed to discrimination and even violence against people of Asian descent. Both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have warned against use of such terms.
And Trump did not “always” take the virus very seriously.
At a campaign rally on Feb. 28 in Charleston, South Carolina, Trump said concerns over the coronavirus were a “hoax” perpetrated by the Democrats.
He even refused to cancel speeches before large audiences for days, finally relenting after public health experts continually warned that large gatherings were great places for the virus to spread.
5. “It’s being signed.” — Trump at a March 18 news conference.
Trump’s claim that he signed the Defense Production Act — a Korean War-era law that allows the president to mandate businesses produce goods needed during wartime — is misleading.
“It’s being signed,” Trump said at the White House on March 18. “It’s essentially drawn, and I’m going to sign it in just a little while. If we need to use it, we’ll be using it at full speed ahead.”
In the case of COVID-19 disease, the Defense Production Act would allow Trump to order the production of ventilators. Health care professionals have expressed concerns that there won’t be enough of them as the virus spreads and more people fall ill.
But later on March 18, Trump suggested he wasn’t invoking the powers just yet, tweeting, “I only signed the Defense Production Act to combat the Chinese Virus should we need to invoke it in a worst case scenario in the future. Hopefully there will be no need, but we are all in this TOGETHER!”
And at a news conference one day later on March 19, Trump said he wasn’t going to use the Defense Production Act because governors needed to do the work themselves to get the equipment they need.
“The federal government is not supposed to be out there, buying vast amounts of items and then shipping, you know we’re not a shipping clerk,” Trump said in the White House briefing room.
6. “It could have been stopped right where it came from: China,” — Trump at a March 19 White House news conference.
Trump has been blaming China for the COVID-19 outbreak, calling it by the racist term “Chinese virus.”
Graham ran his first and only presidential campaign between June and December 2015, dropping out before the 2016 Republican primaries began.[15][3] He was an outspoken critic of fellow Republican Donald Trump's 2016 candidacy and repeatedly declared he did not support Trump;[16] in particular, he took issue with Trump's comments on Graham's close friend, Senator John McCain.[17] After a March 2017 meeting with Trump, Graham reversed his stance on the president, and became a staunch ally of the president, often issuing public statements in his defense. His reversal caught both parties by surprise and sparked much media attention.[17][18]
这个还真的不是吹牛：前几年我创办一家绿色功能饮料公司，也赞助了几次夏洛特本地的Cross fit的健身比赛活动。其中有一项压轴比赛就是平板支撑。我自己本人也是cross fit的会员。（说实在的，一般亚洲人的体格真的没法和老美/老黑，老白比，他们确实是比我们亚洲健壮。）本来我以为这些这么健壮的美国人应该说在平板支撑也挺出色才对，哪知道我赞助的这项压轴比赛，因为我给了现金做奖金，我因为好玩也参与了，结果这些表面上看比我健壮很多的老美一个一个地在我身边的健身地板上掉下来，一般最多就是3-5分钟，我在三次锦标赛里分别以9分钟，11分钟，12分钟拿冠军的。但是我是赞助商，不好意思自己拿自己赞助的奖金，所以都是发给输给我的那个第二名。我也很奇怪，为什么这么多外表看起来很健壮结实的美国人做平板支撑比不过我。会不会除了我腹部力量和持久度好之外，还和我的体型轻盈而他们的体型太粗重有关呢？这些都是经过实际比赛得出的结果。我甚至还想赞助举办一次全美的比赛。当然，我知道做的好的平板支撑可以做几个小时，我的十来分钟根本不算什么，但是拿我与cross fit 的成员的体能和体格的比赛结果来推测，我至少在夏洛特本地拿前几名没有问题。或者说很难找到比我好的的平板支撑竞赛对手。
川普撒谎，人民死亡！必须将这个破坏美国自由民主的独裁者骗子川普赶出白宫！！
你手上的那张选票将是你用来维护美国正义，美国民主，美国自由的重要武器！必须神圣地投出你的一票，将这没有良知，自私自利, 满嘴谎言的骗子川普赶出白宫。
请看看川普骗子那张奸诈如鼠的骗子嘴脸，他的自私自利在破坏美国建国几百年来的民主自由，自由市场经济，新闻媒体自由，政教分离，三权分立制衡制度都在他毫无廉耻的暴力打压下受到了极大的打击和破坏！如果在给他四年，那美国将国之不国，民不聊生，人民将生活在独裁者的暴力镇压之下，丧失基本的人权和自由。
这里是南卡参议员Linsey Granham 对川普的客观评论和对拜登的支持。拜登是上帝的选择。他说： "川普应该走进地狱!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham
Lindsey Olin Graham (born July 9, 1955) is an American politician, who serves as the senior United States Senator from South Carolina, a seat he has held since 2003. A member of the Republican Party, Graham has served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary since 2019. Graham has also earned an 80.31 percent Lifetime Score from the American Conservative Union.[1]
A native of Central, South Carolina, Graham received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1981. Most of his active duty within his span of military service happened from 1982 to 1988 when he served with the Judge Advocate General's Corps in the United States Air Force, as a defense attorney and then with the Air Force's chief prosecutor in Europe based in West Germany. Later his entire service in the Air Force Reserve ran concurrently with his congressional career. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service in 2014.
Graham worked as a lawyer in private practice before serving one term in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1993 to 1995. His congressional career began when he was elected to the first of four terms to the United States House of Representatives, representing South Carolina's 3rd congressional district from 1995 to 2003. In 2002, Graham won the U.S. Senate election in South Carolina after eight-term Republican incumbent Strom Thurmond announced his retirement. He won a second term in 2008 and a third term in 2014.
A retired U.S. Air Force Reserve colonel, Graham is known in the Senate for his advocacy of a strong national defense[2] and aggressive interventionist foreign policy.[3] Initially, he was also known for his willingness to be bipartisan and work with Democrats on issues like campaign finance reform, a ban on waterboarding, immigration reform, and judicial nominees.[4][5][6][7][8][9] He has criticized the Tea Party movement, arguing for a more inclusive Republican Party.[8][10][11][12][13][14]
Graham ran his first and only presidential campaign between June and December 2015, dropping out before the 2016 Republican primaries began.[15][3] He was an outspoken critic of fellow Republican Donald Trump's 2016 candidacy and repeatedly declared he did not support Trump;[16] in particular, he took issue with Trump's comments on Graham's close friend, Senator John McCain.[17] After a March 2017 meeting with Trump, Graham reversed his stance on the president, and became a staunch ally of the president, often issuing public statements in his defense. His reversal caught both parties by surprise and sparked much media attention.[17][18]
不能占他的便宜，他应该比我老十来岁吧，我是受过专业拳击训练的，一般的3-5亚洲人同时上都打不过我的，只要他们没有受过拳击，散打或者武术训练。
客观地说，他比我长的也太差了点。他属于比较猥琐男阴暗点的类型，没有我这种男人的阳光硬朗气质。
之所以选择放大头像，是因为很多朋友诬 蔑我是五 毛，是关在监狱里的劳改犯。同时也想让大家看看代表正义的我和代表邪恶的骗子川普的面相之对比！！！
我发放的图片欢迎大家转发到自己的反川论坛和群里给家人朋友传阅。让我们抛开政见不同，肤色不同，党派，主义不同，联合起来，把这个独裁者骗子川普请出白宫！！请相信我：我们现在做的反川运动，是一场拯救美国，维护美国的民主自由的伟大运动，是关系到我们下一代是生活在民主自由的美国，还是生活在一个独裁，暴力充满种族歧视的美国。
没事，时间紧的时候难免出现判断失误。我们平等交流，没有任何恶意。我真诚地爱着你们的每一位。希望你们的每一位生活都安好幸福。但是要珍惜美国的民主自由来之不易，不要被独裁者给骗了，破坏了我们伟大的美国和它的价值观！
我可以毫不犹豫地挑战川普和我参加任何智力考试或者标准考试，SAT， GMAT, GRE, 如果他的分数达到我的分数值的60%, 就算他赢，我输了会乖乖离开美国并放弃美国国籍。 他输了就请他乖乖地走出白宫，让位给拜登。
其他的话题我不敢说有多懂，但是请你相信我对川普这人的判断。这不是一个小利的问题，这是关系到国家生死，广大人民的生死以及民主自由是否可以维系的问题！！！
我没有吹牛的意思。我就是刚好在这方面比较强大一些。
我自己本人没有经历过文革，怎么可能是文革一代呢？再说了，我有非常好的法学逻辑修养，可以说不比任何美国最高法院的大法官差。我不得不承认，传销骗子川普有很强的迷惑性和鼓动性与欺骗性。他骗了很多人。
唉，我的法学修养比国内所有法学院的教授都好，这点我要感谢香港的大律师杨良宜先生的教导和我自己的努力。
不想最后投资账户都跌成了Shi. 投资房都砸在手里。千算万算，反倒失算。
我在美国读书的时候，别人是一门课要上3-4个月才拿到学分。我最多只要1-2个星期就可以学习完整个课程还都拿A！只要你懂得每门课的内在逻辑关系，都很简单易学。
那个半劈腿的就是我本人。
这个还真的不是吹牛：前几年我创办一家绿色功能饮料公司，也赞助了几次夏洛特本地的Cross fit的健身比赛活动。其中有一项压轴比赛就是平板支撑。我自己本人也是cross fit的会员。（说实在的，一般亚洲人的体格真的没法和老美/老黑，老白比，他们确实是比我们亚洲健壮。）本来我以为这些这么健壮的美国人应该说在平板支撑也挺出色才对，哪知道我赞助的这项压轴比赛，因为我给了现金做奖金，我因为好玩也参与了，结果这些表面上看比我健壮很多的老美一个一个地在我身边的健身地板上掉下来，一般最多就是3-5分钟，我在三次锦标赛里分别以9分钟，11分钟，12分钟拿冠军的。但是我是赞助商，不好意思自己拿自己赞助的奖金，所以都是发给输给我的那个第二名。我也很奇怪，为什么这么多外表看起来很健壮结实的美国人做平板支撑比不过我。会不会除了我腹部力量和持久度好之外，还和我的体型轻盈而他们的体型太粗重有关呢？这些都是经过实际比赛得出的结果。我甚至还想赞助举办一次全美的比赛。当然，我知道做的好的平板支撑可以做几个小时，我的十来分钟根本不算什么，但是拿我与cross fit 的成员的体能和体格的比赛结果来推测，我至少在夏洛特本地拿前几名没有问题。或者说很难找到比我好的的平板支撑竞赛对手。
我在复旦法学院毕业前就已经在国家一级刊物发表学术论文，比给我教课的教授都牛逼，这些学习的高效方法真的不是普通智力一般的人可以比的。不是gpa多少的问题。我不少单科考试成绩比第二名的美国学生高一大截。我真的不是一般美国学生可以比拟的。
有时候觉得读太多书耽误了我创业，我自己很羡慕苹果公司和微软公司创始人都没有读太多学位，这样反倒是让他们专心一致做好自己喜欢的事！读太多书反倒是一种累赘，影响创业的激情！
