America's Superb, Unappreciated President

On January 29, President Donald Trump created a White House Coronavirus Task Force to coordinate the federal government's response to the virus outbreak and to keep the American people as informed about it as possible.

Two days later, on January 31, President Trump formally declared coronavirus to be a public health emergency and he implemented a ban on travel from China to the United States.

The following day, President Trump signed legislation securing $8.3 billion for coronavirus response efforts - money that would cover the costs of things like public lab testing, isolation and quarantine initiatives, the sanitization of public areas, and vaccine research.

CMS, after meeting with President Trump and Vice President Pence, announced that Medicare Advantage and Part D plans could now waive co-payments for coronavirus tests and treatment.

That same day, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell pronounced in the gravest of tones: "More people are sick in America tonight because Donald Trump is president. More people are dead and dying in America tonight because Donald Trump is president."

During a speech on the Senate floor that very same day, Senator Tim Kaine chastised the president for engaging in "Inflammatory China-bashing" and "Weeks and weeks of tweeting lies and misinformation about the virus, while the leaders of other nations were taking steps to make sure their populations could be safe." Former basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took time to weigh in as well, condemning Trump's "Failure as a leader" and depicting the president's supporters as nothing more than "Cult members" who "Mindlessly follow a stern dictatorial father-figure who tells them what to do and think. Like, well, Nazis."

The coordinated campaign of premeditated lies and smears that the Democrats and their media mouthpieces have been waging against President Trump ever since the word "Coronavirus" first entered the American people's consciousness, has been obscene.
