Trump admitted to hiding the truth about COVID-19. Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila discuss on The Young Turks. Keep Hope (and TYT) Alive:

“Trump’s admissions are in stark contrast to his frequent public comments at the time insisting that the virus was “going to disappear” and “all work out fine.”
The book, using Trump’s own words, depicts a President who has betrayed the public trust and the most fundamental responsibilities of his office. In “Rage,” Trump says the job of a president is “to keep our country safe.” But in early February, Trump told Woodward he knew how deadly the virus was, and in March, admitted he kept that knowledge hidden from the public.”

Ed Wood
6.4 million infected..
190,000 Americans dead..
“I didn’t want to cause a panic…”

In a small defense of Woodward, it may have had more to do with attaining more information. Had he come out in February he wouldn’t have gotten marches recordings. The information needs to be fresh in voters minds before the election.

I heard about this Viruses 🦠 In January from Tom Hartman show, he say that was this Viruses in China and he was going to talk about it. Trump knew the truth since 2019.

Trump busted again, he knew. Let’s see his supporters spin this.

I’m sorry I just don’t believe downplaying it was a bad thing as it was you still so people fighting over toilet paper there was a real concern about panic which could have easily done more damage than the virus and while yes 180000+ people dying is terrible it could have been much much worse

It has troubled me that Woodward waited only until now to release the tapes. Perhaps the only reason would be that he was bound to some sort of contract or legal agreement not to do so until the book became available. And even with these admissions, Trump sheep will continue to profess their loyalty to the fake president.

Despite this wont make any difference to Trump re election bid!!!

In the recording, Trump can suddenly form complete and coherent sentences. What’s up with that? His grift is acting like a dumb ass in public all the while being perfectly aware of what’s going on.

Shouldn’t Congress impeach him on that — call it CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!
Diana Dowie
Not surprised nor shocked.
