'Chinatown is not part of China': Trump's tweet at Pelosi is met with criticism online

[Floyd R. Turbo]

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's tweet Thursday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's, D-Calif., February visit to San Francisco's Chinatown neighborhood was "responsible for many deaths" was met with criticism.

"Crazy Nancy Pelosi deleted this from her Twitter account," Trump claimed, saying, "She wanted everyone to pack into Chinatown long after I closed the BORDER TO CHINA. Based on her statement, she is responsible for many deaths. She’s an incompetent, third-rate politician!"

On Jan. 31, the administration declared a public health emergency for coronavirus, and announced travel restrictions from China. The president's social distancing recommendations for Americans were rolled out in mid-March.

1. I lived in San Francisco for 7 years until 1990. My wife and I visited Chinatown there frequentlyly.

Oh, no! We abetted the coronavirus outbreak!

3. Two other bits from that story show the lying liar-in-chief up for what he is

On Feb. 24, the same day that Pelosi visited Chinatown, Trump wrote in a tweet: "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"

Two days later, Trump said in a news conference, "When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."

4. He did not close the border with China

Travel restrictions were put in place.
Too late, an estimated 400,00 + people traveled from China in the month of Jan.
American citizens were allowed to travel from China even after restrictions were put into place.
He is lying, again.

6. Yep. The airlines stopped service beteen the US and China before he ever did anything.

Gaslighter's gotta gaslight.

8. Plus 40,000 people flew in from China AFTER the travel ban

Granted some were American citizens being repatriated with federal assistance.

However, few were given health checklist questioning or quarantined. Many were crowded into long lines or packed into corridors with no physical distancing and forced to endure it for lengthy times.

5. At the time of Pelosi's visit

On Feb, 24th, SF didn't have a confirmed case of Covid-19. They reported their 1st case on March 5th. During that time, trump was on TV saying it was all under control.

VERONICA VIEN: Given the amount of travel between San Francisco and China, we understand a confirmed case in San Francisco is possible.

J CHANG: However, Vien says there are no current cases of the coronavirus in the city, and the public health department says it's important to remember that a person's risk depends on travel history, not on race, ethnicity or culture.

And we know that nothing true escapes his lips, even when he reads the cue cards.

Instead of correcting him we should be howling in derisive laughter at the clown with no pants to cover his brain.
