U.S. President Donald Trump answers questions in the press briefing room with members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force April 3, 2020 in Washington, DC.US intelligence officials warned President Donald Trump about the threat of the novel coronavirus in at least a dozen classified briefings in January and February, The Washington Post reported.
The Post's is the latest in a series of media reports that show the extent to which officials sounded the alarm about an impending pandemic, which Trump largely ignored until US cases began surging in March.
But despite the repeated warnings officials conveyed in the PDB, Trump "failed to register" the threat, The Post reported. The president is known to regularly skip reading through the PDB, and he reportedly doesn't have much patience even when the information is conveyed to him via oral summaries a few times per week.
Ok. We now know this about 100 times
HE closed down air travel from China. It was WHO (and ultra lefties) that 'failed to register the threat' and decided to call him racist for doing so.
So did I. I underestimated Covid-19. I said stupid thing including making flu comparisons. I’m an idiot. There, I said it.
No way!!
The WHO told the USA that the threat was non-existent
