Donald J. Trump, Former President of the United States: The Worst President Ever

By J.P.L. MIMMS

This character has behaved like a pariah toward his brother and his mother who never really controlled him, even since his early childhood. He was sent to military college and then to university, and not having good grades or SATs, he asked for help from a friend named Shapiro as well as his sister, who corrected his grades and SATs. This was the beginning of his cheating life.

Later in business, in the sixties, with the help of his mentor, Roy Cohn, he learned how to defraud the government and the city of New York by not paying his taxes.

Between the years 1970 to 2000, he made panoply of fraudulent bankruptcies in many different ways. Also, he did not pay his employees who were mostly undocumented immigrants.

He threatened his contractors in multiple legal ways in order to avoid paying them.

It is not surprising how this overly narcissistic, racist, lying character got along well with three dictators, including that of Saudi Arabia, Russia, and North Korea.

His biggest cheat was when he became, in 2016, president of the United States of America. And this, with the help of his fixer and childhood friend, Felix Sater, who had connections with relatives of Vladimir Putin. There was also a friend of Michael Cohen's, named Gauger, who knew how to cheat the electoral system by rigging the polls.

Another scam was to avoid going to Vietnam. He asked his father's doctor to obtain a document by pretending that he had a problem with an ankle. Trump's grandfather was "kicked out of Germany in 1905 for avoiding military service." It would seem that Donald has the same DNA as his grandfather Friedrich.

This persona, with his 4,500 lies and his shenanigans of all kinds, from 2016 to 2021, created an unimaginable chaos at the White House. He fomented, among other things, a lack of seriousness about the coronavirus pandemic. He lied to the American people throughout 2020 by making fun of the deaths for which he is 89 percent responsible by repeating in his rallies that it was a hoax and an invention of the Democrats.

He never put a coronavirus program in place mainly because he preferred to play golf while Americans were dying by the hundreds of thousands.

The worst happened on January 6, 2021. The "president," with his big lies and his lying GOP accomplices of cowards, attempted a coup against their own government. Finally, we are not out of the woods yet since democracy is in danger, and as long as these heinous traitors are not accused and put behind bars, the future of this country is heading toward a second civil war.

As I write these words in January 2022, the GOP, aided by media such as Fox News, who continues to spread lies, which a good portion of the population is hoarding into truth. Even after fifteen months of the defeat of Trump's Republicans, some still claim that they won this same election. It is grotesque!

Finally, once again, the star Trump with the steal documents, the Mar-a-Lago raid occurred on August 8, 2022, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant at the Mar-a-Lago complex in Palm Beach, Florida, the residence of Donald Trump, former president of the United States.

According to the press and the political pundits, Trump was the worst president ever.

About the Author

Preface

This book is neither a romance nor a novel nor a biography. And it is no longer science fiction. This book is more a collection of short stories, and finally, I added a little of my own.

Trump uses carefully calibrated language to impress his supporters. He is aware of the magnitude of the impact on his enablers and also on 40 percent of the population, who believe in him.

Trump possesses a cultlike power over his supporters. Some of them, demonstrably unhinged, are willing to do anything to please him.

Trump is like Mister America to his supporters. To them, he represents the new ideal. He's their god of fate in the Western civilization.

Trump said of his enablers that they knew what he could do for them. To them, Trump represents something fundamentally different in politics.

You will see for yourself what sort of President Donald Trump was during his time in the White House. History will teach you all the right and wrong paths this man traveled for half a century.

We now know that 40 percent of the population shares these opinions, but what about the rest of the population? We will see later on in this book a completely different story of this man.

Please believe me, I do not denigrate the fact that this person was and is a very good communicator. How many times did Trump say, we are going to make America great again—and strong again? Or bring back the American Dream. Everybody remembers on inauguration day Trump saying that he was going to drain the swamp, and everyone cheered.

He lives for their applause. Without it, he is lost. He doesn't know why he seeks their plaudits. He reassured the public in a rally by saying that he was a very stable genius, and again, everyone clapped.

President Donald Trump long exulted in superlatives. The first. The best. The most. The greatest. No president has ever done what I've done, he boasts. No president has ever even come close, he says.

One of his supporters, a cowboy wearing a black felt hat, said that he believed "Trump was God."

In his own mind, he is more like a persona than a person, more like a primal force or superhero, rather than a fully realized human being.

When you start reading this book, you will have a hard time putting it down, thanks to the depth of the topics covered all the way to the last page.

My research is mainly focused on newspaper articles, stories told in various media around the world for over a decade, as well as facts and stories from books and magazines.

This book will give you hours of pleasure; I wish you a good read.

Introduction:

Ignorance and Traitors

When I hear elected officials of this party who are Republicans say that they could never have imagined foreseeing what happened on January 6 in the temple of American Democracy, I almost want to laugh. How can they not understand the consequences of a phenomenon of which they are the main cause? This attempt at sedition that they find surprising is only the culmination of their four years of tacit or ostensible complicity with Donald J. Trump's salvos on American democratic institutions.

What hypocrisy! How many times have we heard that the president just crossed the line? And this, with the blessing of elected Republican officials, who were in collusion, no doubt, with this demagogue for four years!

Trump has come to understand that no line, however sacred it may be, is insurmountable. When you know how to handle bullying as a tool of control, nothing is easier. Also, as soon as we wander away from his will, he stalls. In my book, all of these Republicans are traitors.

Mike Pence, his staunch servant who, until recently, acted to make Trump believe he had actually won the election, is one of these men who are part of that brotherhood of hypocritical people and yes-men, and the fact that there were a lot of friends without any experience, one could say that these people were surely puppets; what a circus.

Finally, Pence comes to realize the hard way that loyalty is not part of the vocabulary of the Grand Bully when one is not ready to break the law to fulfill on command his autocratic wishes.

The elected Republicans, for the most part, fell into the clutches of the monster whose ego they generously fattened, which they did not know to be an endless abyss. Despite all these dictatorial drifts, some did not hesitate to solicit him, up until this day of certification of the results, thinking of what he could bring them in 2024.

So even if they pretend not to understand, they know very well that they largely allowed Trump to get his hands on their party by using those who marched in the Capitol. It is this white fringe, frustrated and mostly unable to accept the demographic evolution of the country, that is the armed wing of the great intimidator when they hear the guru promise America her greatness. How many times has he said, America first, but it has become America alone? They understand that he wants to make America white again. However, they will have to accept reality. Because the addition of color shades to America is here for good. In other words, they will have to forget the privileges of the past and realize that the time is gone when they did not need to compare themselves to those they look down on to be successful in life.

Moreover, it is surprising to see how Donald J. Trump facilitated and encouraged this invasion of the Capitol by his followers; the armed marauders followed the orders as the mob boss indicated to them a few hours before the intrusion of the Capitol, its army composed of members of the Proud boy, Oath keepers, Qanon, Boogaloo Movement, and Wolverine Watchmen. What a disgrace it is, this failed coup, from a president treacherous for his country, but what a shame for democracy.

What a beautiful parade it was. On this day in June 2020, in front of the St John's Episcopal, Trump, a Bible in his hand for this, mocked Black Lives Matter in the name of law and order, or the peaceful protestors were slaughtered. Yes, we have to talk about this Bible. He has never read a Bible in his life—and it was shown on the wrong side—and especially this monster never goes to church. Protesters against racism—it is necessary to underline it—were, however, far from being as insurrectionary as its army, which seeks to change the popular will to offer it its uninhibited dream of owning a republic.

After the victory of Barack Obama in 2012, greatly facilitated by the vote of young people, women, and cultural minorities, the Republican Party decided to do some introspection. At the heart of the major recommendations of this vast consultation was the need to reach out to cultural minorities, young people, and women. The Republicans wanted to take this salutary turn because relying on the traditional white vote reduced their leeway in this rapidly changing demographic America. The party was walking toward this path of wisdom when the Great Manitou Intimidator, who had perfected his skills in reality shows, landed there victoriously.

Faced with this aggressivity ready to do anything to keep power, even his detractors ended up closing ranks out of pure opportunism or cowardice.

Maleficence in exchange for privileges in the schoolyard. Sometimes, among the accomplices, there are some who feel uncomfortable, but the fear of suffering the wrath of the villain freezes them. They then swallow their indisposition and self-flagellate themselves for not having the courage of their convictions.

Alongside these passive or active accomplices, there are also righteous ones, like Senator John McCain who has always stood before the Great Bully. A righteousness he paid dearly because Donald insulted him until his death; even long after his burial, he continued to spit his venom on his body. There is also Senator Mitt Romney, who honorably refused to be an accomplice in the president's mafia methods. This brave man even voted for his dismissal by clearly explaining that his grandchildren would never forgive him for having been on the wrong side of history to satisfy personal political ambitions.

Apart from these rare exceptions, all the other Republican senators who did not see this January 6 happening are only hypocrites, liars who do not want to recognize their great share of responsibility in the radicalization of this machine thirsty for the power which they have lost. Control. Indeed, many of them have spent the past four years making Trump believe that his flatulence smelled like vanilla and that he could claim all the rights. Why? To have privileges or not to attract his fury.

As a friend's grandfather said, if power grew on top of tall trees, some of these Republicans would lick chimpanzee asses to help them reach it faster.

If you want to put a picture on this type of politician, think of Senators Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Rudy Giuliani, Mo Brooks, and the rest. These elected officials who are indignant at this attempt at sedition have helped the great intimidator to build this army of radicalized white marginalized people, who now seem ready to do anything to defend their guru. It is important to mention here that these oddballs that we have seen on the flood are a crippled section of the radicals whom the media overestimate. They are in no way representative of the 74,200,000 people who are falsely thought they were Trump supporters because they voted for him. The vast majority of this electorate did not vote for the person who Trump is but rather for the Republican vehicle he represented. Many voters simply pinched their noses before choosing him because right-wing politics are part of them, of their DNA.

Alongside his army of diehards, we can bet that the large mass of voters he considers his supporters know that he has legally lost his elections. These people are by no means disciples of the guru and would not go out in an alley to support this monster of ego, even if he had to go to prison.

Do not forget that Fox News now is a threat to national security. The network's furthering of lies from foreign adversaries and flagrant disregard for the truth have gotten downright dangerous.

Fox News is also an accomplice of theses domestic terrorists attacking the Capitol on January 6, 2021. For a long time, day after day, they minimized this kind of action, repeated the lies of mob boss, and tried to overturn our democracy, also inciting insurrection against the government of United States.

I do believe that it is time to formally accuse this institution of misfortune, which incites these people to violence. It's a disgrace.

Maybe one day not too far away, this media will be accused, and some will be put in prison for having incited to violence.

Chapter 1

The COVID-19 Failures by Donald Trump

It's an oversimplification to state that President Trump is responsible for more than three hundred thousand deaths. We should have been one of the developed world's best performers instead of being among the worst. Much of the difference between how the United States should have fared and how it actually did can be chalked up to the ways that Trump bungled the pandemic: denying the seriousness of COVID-19 and spreading misinformation about treatments; turning minor precautions such as masks into political litmus tests; ignoring his own scientists. But this president instead concentrated on organizing rallies in order to preserve his presidency and also played golf.

Damage has been done to the CDC that will take years to undo. Suggesting that this interference not only hampered the response to this pandemic but also leaves us less prepared for the next. We need an inquiry to sort out what that damage is, how it can be repaired, and how best to prevent it in the future.

The media are already performing postmortems on Trump's errors, and I suspect the Biden administration will happily extend their work. I worry, however, that they'll stop before giving the public a full and unsparing analysis of all the ways our government failed.

Some of those failures were as consequential as any of Trump's missteps, most notably the testing debacle that left us blind for many crucial weeks as the virus spread undetected. Certainly, that fiasco was compounded by Trump's flaws, including his notable lack of interest in addressing the situation.

Trump's failures were many. He didn't make the CDC ship tests to health departments despite knowing there were problems.

A structural problem, in other words, not a partisan one. The Food and Drug Administration similarly failed in a way that was predictable to its critics: a deadly lack of urgency and an aversion to altering sacred bureaucratic precedent, which was manifested in a reluctance to authorize any test except the scarce, faulty ones from the CDC.

Democrats will be tempted to take the easy way out of this morass, laying all the blame at Trump's door and suggesting the problems were solved with his leaving office. But this is a kind of Trumpian fantasy—the obvious villain, the easy conquest, the happily ever after. And that's unlikely to serve us all any better than he did.

Nine months of Trump bragging that he knew better than the scientists that this virus would disappear like a miracle, with the warm weather, in a few weeks. Trump never presented a program to eliminate this virus or control it effectively; on the contrary, with his behavior, plus multiple lies, he only inherited the more than 335,000 deaths as of the beginning of January 2021.

This figure represents 89 percent of the four hundred thousand deaths to date, which was mentioned by experts last September 2020.

Pneumonia of unknown cause—China

On December 31 2019, the WHO (World Health Organization) China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, in the Hubei Province of China. As of January 3 2020, a total of 44 patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology had been reported to the WHO by the national authorities in China. Of the 44 reported cases, 11 were severely ill, while the remaining 33 patients were in stable condition. According to media reports, the food market in Wuhan was closed on January 1 2020 for environmental sanitation and disinfection.

The causal agent has not yet been identified nor confirmed. On January 1 2020, the WHO requested further information from national authorities to assess the risk?

National authorities reported that all patients were isolated and receiving treatment in Wuhan medical institutions. The clinical signs and symptoms were mainly fever, with a few patients having difficulty in breathing, and chest x-rays showing invasive lesions of both lungs.

According to the authorities, some patients were operating dealers or vendors in the Huanan Seafood market. Based on the preliminary information from the Chinese investigation team, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission and no health care worker infections had been reported.

Public Health Response

National authorities reported the following response measures: one hundred and twenty-one close contacts had been identified and were under medical observation;

The follow-up of close contacts was ongoing.

Wuhan Municipal Health Commission carried out active case findings; retrospective investigations were completed;

Environmental sanitation and further hygiene investigations were under way.

Coronavirus: France's First Known Case Was in December 2019

Arrived in France almost a month earlier than previously thought, a patient treated in a hospital near Paris on December 27, 2019 for suspected pneumonia, actually had the coronavirus, his doctor said.

This means the virus may have arrived in Europe almost a month earlier than previously thought.

Dr. Yves Cohen said that a swab taken at the time was recently tested, and came back positive for Covid-19.

The patient, who has since recovered, said he had no idea where he caught the virus as he had not travelled abroad.

Knowing who the first case was is key to understanding how the virus spread.

The French health ministry told the BBC that the government was obtaining confirmation on the case and that it would consider further investigations if they proved necessary.

What do we know about the new case?

Dr. Cohen, head of emergency medicine at the Avicenne and Jean-Verdier hospitals near Paris, said the patient was a 43-year-old man from Bobigny, north-east of Paris.

He told the BBC's Newsday program that the patient had to have been infected between the 14th of December and the 22nd of December 2019 as coronavirus symptoms take between five to fourteen days before appearing.

The patient, Amirouche Hammar was admitted to the hospital on the 27th of December exhibiting a dry cough, fever and had trouble breathing—symptoms which would later become known as main indications of coronavirus.

This was four days before the WHO's Chinese country office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause being detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

Mr. Hammar told French broadcaster BFMTV that he had not left France before falling sick. Dr. Cohen said while two of the patient's children had also fallen ill, his wife had not shown any symptoms.

But Dr. Cohen pointed out that the patient's wife worked at a supermarket near Charles de Gaulle airport and could have come into contact with people who had recently arrived from China. The patient's wife said that often customers would come directly from the airport, still carrying their suitcases.

We're wondering whether she was asymptomatic, Dr. Cohen said.

What does it tell us?

Could the coronavirus have been circulating in Europe in late 2019, many weeks before it was officially recognized and declared a threat there? That is the suggestion being made after a French doctor revealed that he treated a patient in Paris with all of the symptoms of the coronavirus just after Christmas.

Why does it matter?

Until now, what were thought to have been France's first three cases of coronavirus were confirmed on the 24th of January 2020. Of those, two had been to Wuhan—where the outbreak was first detected—and the third was a close family member.

Mr. Hammar's positive test result suggests the virus was present in France much earlier.

How was the new case found?

Dr. Cohen told the BBC that he had thought to look back on all patients who had been in intensive care units with suspected pneumonia between the 2nd of December and the 16th of January.

He found fourteen patients who had tested negative for pneumonia. He defrosted their samples and tested them for traces of Covid-19.

Media caption Coronavirus vaccine: How close are you to getting one?

He said that out of the fourteen samples, one tested positive for traces of Covid-19. A second test on that same sample also came back positive. He added that the patient's chest scan was also compatible with the symptoms of Covid-19.

Man in France may be the country's earliest COVID-19 case

May 7, 2020

French man discovers he may be country's 1st COVID-19 case

Paris—For Amirouche Hammar, it started with a phone call from a doctor at his local hospital in a Paris suburb. When he told me the news that I was positive with COVID-19, frankly it shocked me a little, Hammar told ABC News. The 43-year-old had found out ten days ago that he was infected with the virus back in December, over a month before the first cases were recorded in Europe.

France, where more than 25,000 people have died from COVID-19 since March 1st, confirmed its first three cases on the 24th of January.

But Professor Yves Cohen, the head of the intensive care unit at a Paris suburban hospital, made a surprising discovery when his team checked old test samples of patients with pneumonia in December and January. Out of 24 patients, one patient's sample from December 27th twice tested positive for COVID-19—Amirouche Hammar's.

Frankly, I never suspected it. Even my family and loved ones said to me, ‘I think [COVID's] what you got.' But the disease had just started in China… For me it was a local disease, in a region in China, he said.

Amirouche Hammar recalled the days before his hospitalization and described symptoms which are now familiar: dry cough, fever, fatigue and severe breathing difficulties. He first thought it was the flu but after feeling chest pains like an electric shock, he went to the hospital.

At the hospital, the diagnosis was clear: a lung infection. His situation deteriorated quickly and doctors decided that he needed intensive care and placed him on oxygen.

Is Hammar France's earliest COVID-19 case?

The father of four had not traveled abroad before falling ill in December. The causes of his contamination remain hypothetical but Amirouche believes his wife might have infected him. Maybe it was me, said Fatiha Hammar. I'm the only one who works. Her husband, she said, only goes to school and shopping.

I go to work so it is possible that I was in contact with the clients, perhaps, she said. Fatiha Hammar, who works as a fishmonger in a big shopping center, also had shown symptoms of fatigue a few days before her husband fell ill, but they had only lasted three days. After, Amirouche and their two children, 10 and 5 years old, were hospitalized with the same symptoms. They had coughs, colds, and the eldest had a fever, said Amirouche.

The family is doing well now and Amirouche feels grateful his life was spared. I've been miraculously saved from a disease that is wreaking havoc, it's a tidal wave, said Amirouche. But the household is under stress since Cohen's phone call gave them the news. As soon as I hear a cough, my heart starts to pound, said Fatiha Hammar. We don't live normally with this disease anymore.

Trump is hiding from the country while it's on fire

Both the President and Bob Woodward knew this for months and kept it from the public

Woodward knew the truth behind the administration's deadly bungling—and worse—he saved it for his book, which will be released to wild acclaim and huge profits after nearly 200,000 Americans died.

Another day, another book, another reason to believe that the American republic was not served well by the election of a vulgar talking yam. First came John Bolton. Then came presidential niece Mary Trump, measuring her uncle for a straitjacket. Then came Michael Cohen, who cops to shaking down Jerry Falwell for a valuable endorsement. And now come Bob Woodward one of the stone heads on journalism's Easter Island, marking the president as a liar on, among other things, the topic of the pandemic.

This will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency, national security adviser Robert O'Brien told Trump, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor, Bob Woodward. This is going to be the roughest thing you face. Matthew Pottinger, the deputy national security adviser, agreed. He told the president that after reaching contacts in China, it was evident that the world faced a health emergency on par with the flu pandemic of 1918, which killed an estimated fifty million people worldwide.

Ten days later, Trump called Woodward and revealed that he thought the situation was far direr than what he had been saying publicly. You just breathe the air and that's how it's passed, Trump said in a February 7 call. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flu… This is deadly stuff, the president repeated for emphasis.

Trump admitted to Woodward on March 19 that he deliberately minimized the danger. I always wanted to play it down, the president said.

Let us be clear. Both of these men knew before anyone else that the president was lying in public about the most serious public health crisis in a century. Both of these men knew before anyone else how serious that threat was and how deadly the disease could be. Both of these men knew before anyone else that a potential disaster was not only possible but increasingly likely. Both of these men knew!

The president knew and lied because he wanted to get reelected. Woodward knew and kept it to himself because he had a book to sell. Who's worse? Far too measured a choice for this reporter, but as someone who in his own small way practices the same craft as Bob Woodward, I have to wonder how Woodward could watch the president lie for six months as the body count rocketed skyward without his conscience tearing out his heart. And, please, for the love of God, don't buy any Crayola out of Woodward that may be coming soon from the high road he's built to reach the limits of his enormous ego.

The book is based in part on eighteen on-the-record interviews Woodward conducted with the president between December and July.

The interviews with the president were conducted on the record. As early as January, Woodward could have broken a huge story quoting the president himself about how the president was lying to the public and risking public health. Maybe it would have forced a change of policy that would have saved lives. Worse—he saved it for his book, which will be released to wild acclaim and huge profits after nearly two hundred thousand Americans died because neither Donald Trump nor Bob Woodward wanted to risk anything substantial to keep the country informed.

For reasons of their own—venal, selfish, inexcusable reasons, all of them—both Donald Trump and Bob Woodward shirked the duties of their respective occupations, and eventually, hundreds of thousands of Americans may be dead in part because they did; the shame of this should be everlasting. Bob Woodward's nonfeasance in the face of this disaster should stand with Walter Duranty's covering for Stalin in the matter of the Ukrainian famine as eternal embarrassments to journalism and to simple humanity. Nobody, as the bumper stickers used to say, ever died at Watergate.

Shame on you, Mister Monster, and on you, Bob Woodward.

Trump, the specialist in household disinfectant

After Donald Trump's ridiculous and dangerous suggestion in April 2020 that household disinfectants injected into people's bodies should do the job. Even a child of eight years old would not say such of thing, but remember that he said he knew everything, and he doesn't trust the scientists.

Trump, as a person and politician, is riddled with flaws. But he also has an ignominious superpower: he is completely unencumbered by the truth, the need to tell it or accept it. He will do and say anything that he believes will profit him. Furthermore, he has no great guiding principles. He is not bound by ethics or morals. This guy has no boundaries.

When the Access Hollywood tapes on which Trump bragged about groping, also said to grab them by the pussy—they like that and sexually assaulting women, came out, Republicans were worried. They began to openly reject him. Some called for him to drop out of the race.

But the image of Republicans running for the exits, a month before a presidential election, is as extraordinary as a party's nominee using vulgar, violent language that seems to reduce an entire gender to sexual anatomy. And this time, no amount of spin seems sufficient to control the damage Trump has wrought.

No one is as shameless a showman as Trump is. He was in survival mode. Nothing was too far; nothing was too crass.

At the debate, Trump dismissed his comments as locker-room talk and denied that he had ever done the things he himself boasted about doing on the tape. As Trump said on the debate stage, Nobody has more respect for women than I do.

Don't fall prey to false hope that defeating Trump will be easy, that his horrifically incompetent response to the coronavirus has doomed him. It hasn't. Trump will fight with everything he has to the bitter end to stay in power. He will never admit any fault. He will lie and lie and lie and lie some more. And the people who support him will stick with him every step of the way.

Be prepared for Trump to do anything and everything to win reelection in November. A man who can dismiss a recording of his own voice bragging about assaulting women is capable of anything.

As you will see later, at the end of December 2020 and the beginning of January 2021. Trump and his traitors will undermine our democracy and attempt a coup d'état. Shame on them. Remember their faces.

The six-year-old Trump brain

April 24, 2020

Trump said on Thursday that scientists should explore whether inserting ultraviolet light or disinfectant into the bodies of people infected with the coronavirus might help them clear the disease.

Is there a way we can do something like that by injection, inside, or almost a cleaning? Trump asked. It would be interesting to check that.

I do think that disinfectant on the hands could have a very good effect.

Trump stood in the White House briefing room and suggested that injecting disinfectant into the body could possibly cure the virus

After this insane and dangerous remark, states saw a spike in poison control calls, including using bleach on food products, applying household cleaning and disinfectant products to skin, and inhaling or ingesting cleaners and disinfectants.

Trump pushed the use of hydroxychloroquine without sufficient scientific backing; he doesn't trust the scientists.

Why Trump is a killer

A Timeline of Coronavirus Comments from President Trump and the World Health Organization

This timeline is from the 5th of January to the 18th of December 2020

Editor's note: This story has been updated with an entry for the 14th of January with statements from the WHO about human-to-human transmission.

We looked at the public record to see what Trump and the WHO had to say over the past 15 weeks about the coronavirus pandemic. Here's a timeline highlighting key quotes.

December 27 2019

Firstly, in the last weeks of December 2019 the BBC mentioned some very interesting news regarding this virus. A patient treated in a Hospital near Paris France on the 27th of December had the coronavirus; the patient must have been infected between the 14th and the 22nd of December. The patient's name is Amirouche Hammar. So, with the social media that exists in the world today, you have this President who declares for 3 months that he doesn't know about it. His answer is that it's a Hoax from the democrats. For nine months he said this word more than a thousand times. This is the reason why, in my book, I gave him this name: Mr. Hoax. As for Mr. Amirouche, see further in this book.

January 14

WHO officials gave conflicting signals about whether there is human-to-human transmission. At a press conference in Geneva, Maria Van Kerkhove of the WHO's emerging diseases unit told a Reuters reporter: From the information that we have, it is possible that there is limited human-to-human transmission, potentially among families, but it is very clear right now that we have no sustained human-to-human transmission.

January 22

Asked by CNBC whether there were any concerns about the virus spreading to the U.S., Trump responded: "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine."

January 24

In a tweet, Trump praised China for its effort to prevent the spread of the virus. China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus.
