Pence: Trump was acting like a WWII leader when he lied about the virus

Pence called Trump's lies to the American public about the threat of the coronavirus 'presidential leadership.'

Mike Pence on Thursday compared Donald Trump's deliberate downplaying of the viral outbreak to tactics employed by leaders during World War II.

Newly released tapes of interviews with author Bob Woodward reveal that Trump knew in early February how dangerous the coronavirus was, saying it was "more deadly" than the flu. He also admitted to Woodward that despite knowing how big the threat was, he "wanted to always play it down." Now, Trump and his White House are claiming that he constant downplaying of the serious of the outbreak was simply because he didn't want to "create panic."

Pence also tried to push that line during an interview on Fox News. Trump simply "wanted to reassure the American people all along the way," he said. "There's that old saying from World War II in Great Britain, 'Keep calm. Carry on.' That was the presidential leadership that I saw."

"Keep Calm and Carry On" was a propaganda slogan used by the British government to encourage citizens while the country was being bombed by the Nazis during the war.

9. Does he have enough pancake makeup on?

He looks like he's drugged up or something. Talk about Sleepy Joe??? This guy looks like he's half asleep.

On another note, does he really think anyone other than the cultists believe this? I heard this report on my local MI NPR station today and wondered how the reporter could repeat this with a straight face.

Pence knew exactly what Trump knew and both of them should be removed from office.

[SamKnause]

11. Fuck you you worthless piece of shit.

Everyone would have remained calm if we were given the truth.

200,000 people would not be dead if we were given the truth.

Thousands would not be facing permanent disabilities if we were given the truth.

Millions would not be unemployed if we were given the truth.

Everything would have been fine if Trump, the administration, and the Covid-19 team,

that you lead, would have done your damn jobs !!!!!

Everything would have been fine if Trump would have told his cult to wear masks.

Just fuck you !!!!!!

What a piece of fucking trash you are !!!!!

15. Oh FFS

If Churchill had:

* Told the British that Hitler wasn't a threat
* Told the British that the possibility of an invasion was a hoax
* Told the British that a military build-up was the responsibility of local authorities
* Told the British that the Nazis swarming all over France were friendly
* Blabbed to a reporter that he had a top secret new radar system that would thwart the Luftwaffe
* Offered a reporter a big framed photograph of himself palling around with Mussolini
* And after Hitler invaded the UK and killed 200,000 British citizens, said "I don't take any responsibility at all"

...then it would be fair to compare Trump to Churchill.

[smirkymonkey]

17. What is with that giant Q-tip, covered in mayonnaise, dressed in a marshmallow suit, with

vanilla ice-cream dribbling out of his mouth? I think I have seen him somewhere before.

[Ilsa]

18. Next Donald Deathtoll will say if he had been president

Dec 7, 1941, he would have revised thereport on the attack on Pearl Harbor, saying the Japanese had dropped balloons on US battleships. And Auschwitz was just a cookie factory. He wouldn't want to cause any panic.

[eShirl]

19. Who knew he had such a rich fantasy life?

[Demonaut]

[bullwinkle428]

21. Yeah, just like Hitler in May, 1945, when he tried to deny the Allies were about

to take Berlin and force Germany's surrender.

[flotsam]

22. Maybe Stalin who had no problems sacrificing his citizens N/T
