Anons you want to hear something funny? Well my siblings are full on TDS leftists but we have a family thread where we are not supposed to talk about politics. But they deviate from it today and start bashing Trump for everything. Then one brings up “he called the virus a hoax! I said nope, I’ll prove he didn’t so I post two refutations. The post were not from sane people, but by full on leftists too, this was the icing on the cake! I posted snopes below, refuting Trump called the virus a hoax below and a left journalist from Slate saying no he didn’t call the virus a hoax

So they got quiet for a couple of minutes and started dropping article after article, not on the virus is a hoax, anything but that, and have been at it for 3-1/2 hours. Proof that Trump lives in their TDS heads 24 hours a day. Meanwhile I go about my day knowing I proved that it was a lie, feelz good man

About this rating

What's True

During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu.

What's False

Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax
