President Donald Trump gave a press briefing on COVID-19, naming Vice President Mike Pence the head of his administration’s response to the potential pandemic.
Asked about the likelihood of a U.S. outbreak, Trump said, “I don’t think it’s inevitable” - which directly contradicts officials from the Centers for Disease Control who say the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. is a matter of WHEN, not if.
Trump also defended proposed budget cuts to the CDC by saying that he’s a “businessperson, I don’t like having thousands of people around when you don’’t need them.”
Originally aired on 02/26/20.

I really hope that Trump does not put limitations on our preparedness. He could consider himself as a medical genius and curtail necessary matters. Trump Jr said the Democrats want to see many people die from coronavirus in order to attack Trump. How stupid is that?

Anything not pro trump is considered bias or unfair by conservatives. If this was posted on a right wing outlet, the reporter or source would be called a rhino or never trumper.

He has his opinion and it is becoming more wide spread each day in the country. Lets see what the numbers look like a week from now. I think his wording is to help calm people's fears, as he should. That should be what CDC could do as well but balance with the facts as well. Call it what it is and don't try to candy coat a turd.
Looks like this came from MSNBC and everything from them is bias. You will never hear a positive statement about Trump from this network.

Trump said the coronavirus is on par of the flu, and it's a Democratic hoax. How presidential is that?
