A Month After Emergency Declaration, Trump's Promises Largely Unfulfilled

A Month After Emergency Declaration, Trump's Promises Largely Unfulfilled

https://www.npr.org/2020/04/13/83279...ly-unfulfilled

NPR's Investigations Team dug into each of the claims made from the podium that day. And rather than a sweeping national campaign of screening, drive-through sample collection and lab testing, it found a smattering of small pilot projects and aborted efforts.

In some cases, no action was taken at all.


We're screwed if we don't get a nationwide testing campaign going that's has a proper sampling rate

The media isn’t supposed to ask Trumpy about his failures. They’re supposed to treat every lie as truth. If they don’t, he accuses them of being fake. This is how it’s worked for four years. And every time, the media sources are shocked at Trumpy’s brazen bullying and lying. Oh, the undying gravitas...

Remember that one? That was early on in March. It was total, utter, pleasant-sounding bullshit then, and it's only gotten worse since Trump made that reckless statement.
