Agreed. Yes Trump was saying that the Democrats hyping the coronavirus was a hoax, but all the Democrats were doing was saying that the coronavirus was serious. At that point there was no discussion of his handling of it. Just that it was serious.

Looks like another millennial Republican is worried about his job prospects, moving forward. There will be more rats down the gangplank soon.

Pffft.

This was Trump attempting to drag his chestnuts out of the fire with a bogus excuse, much like the “I didn’t want people to panic.” excuse. CNN can kiss my bony, dessicated Arizona ass.

Bothsidesism.

8:43 am: Trump says the coronavirus is the Democrats’ ‘new hoax’

President Donald Trump said Democrats are using the virulent coronavirus as a “hoax” to damage him and his administration. “The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” he said from a campaign rally in North Charleston, South Carolina. “One of my people came up to me and said ‘Mr. President they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well.’ They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax that was on a perfect conversation,” he continued. “This is their new hoax,” he said, referring to the coronavirus. — Franck

But that makes absolutely no fucking sense from an English language perspective as a hoax is a falsehood deliberately fabricated to masquerade as the truth. Where was the falsehood? Coronavirus was serious, not going away and Trump was asserting the opposite was true, IOW Trump was indeed conducting a hoax.
