In Trump’s up is really down world, he now claims he ‘up played’ the Trumpvirus

“Yeah, well I didn’t downplay it. I actually, in many ways I up-played it in terms of action. My action was very strong.”

-The Idiot in Chief

Trump, speaking at an ABC News town hall event with voters in Philadelphia, said his moves early on in the Covid-19 crisis saved lives and demonstrated “action, not with the mouth but in actual fact.”

The president’s assertion that “in many ways I up-played it in terms of action” came less than a week after the release of audio from an interview with veteran journalist Bob Woodward, in which Trump said of the coronavirus: “I wanted to always play it down … I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”
