Trump admits to knowing COVID was deadly and that he deliberately misled the country

[fskimospy]

As per Woodward's latest book:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-woodward-rage-book-trump/2020/09/09/0368fe3c-efd2-11ea-b4bc-3a2098fc73d4_story.html

Even more damning, this is not secondhand information, this is something Trump personally said to Woodward himself. That's right, he came straight out and admitted he misled the country about a virus that's killed close to 200,000 Americans.

If Trump ends up winning in November the Democrats should immediately open a new impeachment inquiry into him based on this information.

Apparently Woodward has the admission on tape

I think this article demonstrates Trump's basic lack of moral conflicts over anything he does/says/believes.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

There is so many disturbing things from what has been released. Apparently he told Woodward about top secret nuclear systems that "Putin and Xi" don't know about and it was confirmed such systems exist.

This man is a threat to world security, not just national.

Apparently Woodward has the admission on tape

"He's a sneak! What a weasel! He betrayed the President's trust! What a horrible friend! What a horrible person! Who tapes other people without their knowledge?!"

 

[DisarmedDespot]

The WaPo article has audio from Trump in February saying he knew it was deadly and that it was five times as bad as the flu, and in April saying he always wanted to play it down.

So where are Trump's apologists now?

 

[MomentsofSanity]

From what I heard he didn't say five times as bad. He said 5% fatality rate. now whether he thought the flu was 1% is open to debate.

 

[brycejones]

You stupid libs he was only joking about knowing something. Haha you all have been trolled by the Trump Train!

Something deepstate, something liberal media, something even if he did it it doesn't matter. Why didn't Obama have the vaccine ready?

 

[darkswordsman17]

I need to hear from one of the new regulars about how this might all just not be what it is and wait wait wait don't jump to conclusions! Fanatical Meat, we need your Captain Blindfold!

 

[shortylickens]

Once again no one with a brain is surprised, but as always its nice to get it on tape.

 

[soulcougher73]

Man. The guy who tells it like it is, really didn't tell it like it is. Shocker.

 

[VRAMdemon]

And he's still holding maskless rallys, mocking people who wear masks. Nearly 200 thousand dead, and he is still encouraging people to spread the virus.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I’ll play deplorable.

Fake news, Woodward just wants to sell stories or a book. Nobody heard this. Fake news warped what the President said.
MAGA President wanted to close the borders Democrats want open boarders.

One rally in Nevada being shut down with another in question as his people continue to violate rules, both public and private.

Narrator: And they'll still vote for him.

I can see FAUX news now trying to dub over the tapes so that they could broadcast it to their cult members.

NOpe. Since there are tapes it will be you didn't hear him right, that's not what he meant. He was kidding. He meant it but it's no big deal. Fuck you libtard!

 

[K1052]

Nice to get to skip the usual process here of "anonymous sources" or "disgruntled ex official" since he's recorded.

Probably going straight to "Yea, I said it and so what" this time.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

He even kept it from his own people. His campaign staff are saying they are shocked by the comments and had kept that information from them too.

"He's a sneak! What a weasel! He betrayed the President's trust! What a horrible friend! What a horrible person! Who tapes other people without their knowledge?!"

Would be amusing if they try to float that argument when the interviews were voluntary and Trump knew he was being taped.

It still amuses me that there are true believers who think Trump wouldn't fuck them over in a nanosecond for a nickel.

 

[Moonbeam]

Trump is a very smart guy. He knows what the issues are and how to handle them. Unfortunately, the solutions are simply things that he doesn't want to do.

 

[purbeast0]

It doesn't really matter at this point. His followers aren't going to change their mind about anything.

Oh and here is the audio.

Of course. It's another one of those delicious libruhl tears moments.

Oh I get it, he played it down for the sake of the country. He's still playing down mask wearing so we don't panic
