Trump tweets message attacking CDC, doctors as 'lying' He provided no evidence.

As the novel coronavirus spreads across the country -- leading to record numbers of cases and increased deaths in several states -- President Donald Trump shared a message on Twitter saying doctors and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are "lying."

"The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19," the game show host and conservative commentary Chuck Woolery wrote, in a tweet the president shared with his over 83 million followers on Twitter. "Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust. I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it."

Trump shared the message without comment or elaboration. There is no evidence the CDC, a federal agency, or doctors are "lying."

The president also shared a message critical of the nation's foremost infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

* He just lost the election, there is no turning back. People are getting sick and dying around us every day from this and he thinks we are stupid to believe him and his minions. What a foolish move.

Now he wants you to believe him, a serial liar, over a highly respect and honest Dr. Who knows what he's talking about, and knows a liar and propaganda when he hears it.
