Have you heard about our current president? The guy who ignored the intelligence reports that came out months before the virus hit the US because he didn’t want his trade agreement messed up? You are given our current leaders too much credit.

This is bad. Really bad. What's also bad is the claims from the White House that Trump and Pence weren't briefed on this. FFS, seriously?

Where do you read your news? It’s hard to get Trump’s base to honestly answer that but I’ll try again.

(And don’t forget, Trump told you that The New York Times and Washington Post are fake news. You’re supposed to lump them together. )

I don’t think Trump will be involved in taking care of this.

He’s a temporary employee. We have salesmen with longer contracts than US presidents.


Whoever is making the decision has a full on career.

as you can see, I am willing to read the New york times, I just don't trust them and I am not willing to PAY to read their garbage. Hence, why I asked for evidence, a run down or excerpt from the article. I read a lot of sources both left and right, but always go in with a skeptical mind and cross reference them to get the full picture. the left notoriously is selective and doesn't report on the full picture.

I am willing to be this story is based on an unverified claim "an anonymous intelligence source" or something similar, am I right?

actually, trump didn't tell me anything because I think for myself. they have printed numerous lies, conspiracy theories or just incorrect info and they are extremely biased.

The WH press secretary today didn't say that the allegations were untrue, only that Pence and Trump hadn't been briefed.
