Trump: 'Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA'

Well, that's good. We can all rest easy now.

Tweeted impeached and manifestly unfit U.S. President Donald Trump just now:

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!

Yeah.

No.

These are literally the people in charge of our government's response to #COVID19. This is a verified account, not a parody. He is the Acting Deputy Secretary of DHS. #TheBestPeople https://t.co/YxVlH5a9Em

For weeks I've been saying that WH "happy talk" on #COVIDaf1/419 #Coronarivus would keep up the markets for only so long; happy tweets can't stop the virus: only a well run and sharp response can https://t.co/Tgu25muwbo

Non-hyperbolically: A big problem with having a pathological liar as president is that there will be times when it's essential that people believe him, but they won't. https://t.co/v9jFBec2Yf
