President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
fireside chats reassured and inspired the nation through Depression and war. During impeachment last fall, President Trump fancied himself likewise addressing Americans “perhaps as a fireside chat on live television.”
There’s no better time than the present! In these dark times, Americans crave the comfort of competent leadership. I have therefore taken the liberty of drafting for Trump a fireside chat for our times — using entirely his own words.
The coronavirus is
very much under control in the USA. We have it
totally under control. I’m not concerned at all. It’s
one person coming in from China. We pretty much
shut it down. It will all work out well.
We’re in great shape. Doesn’t
spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions that myself and my administration took. There’s a
chance it won’t spread. It’s something that we have https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-2/ over.
Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it
miraculously goes away. One day it’s
like a miracle, it will disappear.
Just stay calm. It will go away. The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. This is their
new hoax.
Whatever happens, we’re https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-conference/. Totally ready. We’re rated number one for being prepared. We are so prepared like we never have been prepared. Taking https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-address-nation/, we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States. We’re very much https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-prime-minister-varadkar-ireland-bilateral-meeting-3/.
This is a flu. I
didn’t know people died from the flu. Here, we’re talking about a https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-members-coronavirus-task-force-meeting-pharmaceutical-companies/ range. It is very mild. Some people will have this at a
very light level. Some of them
go to work.
The mortality rate is much, much better. In my opinion it’s way, way down. I think it’s
substantially below 1 percent. A fraction of 1 percent. I think the numbers are going to get progressively better as we go along.
This is just my hunch.
We have
very little problem in this country. We only have five people. We only have 11 cases. Out of billions of people, 15 people. They’re https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-meeting-african-american-leaders/, and soon they’re all going to be better, hopefully. We’re going very substantially down, not up.
The United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-prime-minister-varadkar-ireland-bilateral-meeting-3/ at this point. To this point, and because we have had a very strong border policy,
we have had 40 deaths. As of this moment, https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing/
. I
have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they’re going to be.
Frankly, the testing has been going very smooth. The tests are
all perfect. Anybody that wants a test can
get a test. The tests are
beautiful. We have a tremendous testing setup.
I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. We are very close to a vaccine. A
matter of months. You take a https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-members-coronavirus-task-force-meeting-pharmaceutical-companies/, you don’t think that could have an impact? Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the
biggest game changers in the history of medicine. Based on very strong evidence.
I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go
by Easter.
No way I’m going to cancel the convention. Stock Market starting to
look very good to me!
We’re the ones that gave the great response. I’d
rate it a 10. We’ve done a https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-3/. I think they should be appreciative.
Gallup just gave us the highest rating. The highest on record.
I like this stuff. I really get it. Maybe I have
a natural ability. We think it’s going to have a very good ending. We’re going to win faster than people think. I hope.
This
blindsided the world! Who could have ever predicted a thing like this? This was something that nobody has ever thought could happen to this country.
I’ve always known this is a real,
this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. I always treated the Chinese Virus
very seriously.
If you’re talking about the virus, no,
that’s not under control for anyplace in the world. I was talking about what we’re doing is under control, but I’m not talking about the virus. I didn’t say Easter. It was just an aspiration. I am giving consideration to a QUARANTINE.
So you’re talking about 2.2 million deaths. If we could hold that down…between 100,000 and 200,000, and we all together have done
a very good job. START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD,
GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!!
Invoke “P”. I want our life back again.
It was nobody’s fault. No, just things that happened. I don’t
take responsibility at all.
