Trump: Virus ‘hoax’ claim was his worst lie yet

All supporters of President Trump who are worried about the coronavirus pandemic should remember this:

When we first learned about the coronavirus, Trump called it a hoax. He had information that it was a real problem but lied and told the nation it was fake news.

To those of us who have seen his lies over and over, this is just another one. But it’s a lie that has put us all at risk. Why? Because his ego couldn’t handle something going wrong while he was president.

His supporters have excused every misdeed of his that others have pointed out. They think the rest of us are just out to get him out of office. But this one is different; it has cost lives and misery to people he pledged to protect.

If Trump lied about this pandemic, he will lie about anything. Remember that every time you defend him.
