Politico reports:
President Trump early Friday tweeted that the U.S. was way ahead of the curve when it came to stemming the spread of coronavirus thanks to measures taken by his administration.
Trump also accused congressional Democrats early Friday morning of unfairly blaming the coronavirus’ threat to Americans on his administration, tying the global health epidemic even closer to domestic politics.
The president’s various complaints regarding Democratic criticism and media coverage of his management of the virus come as he has broadened his administration’s response to the crisis in recent days, even while continuing to downplay the risk it poses to the U.S. amid dire warnings from health officials.
So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”.

The Do Nothing Democrats were busy wasting time on the Immigration Hoax, & anything else they could do to make the Republican Party look bad, while I was busy calling early BORDER & FLIGHT closings, putting us way ahead in our battle with Coronavirus. Dems called it VERY wrong!

REMINDER: On Feb 10 with Coronavirus ravaging parts of China, Trump was asked about his plan to address it. He told us not to worry because the virus “goes away in April with the heat.” This is one of the most horrific mistakes in US history. #TrumpVirus #CoronavirusOutbreak pic.twitter.com/nuZEQlNd5M
