Officials Praise Trump for Coronavirus Response

The Democrats and the media may be attacking Trump for his response to the Coronavirus, but experts are praising the president for his actions ahead of any larger outbreak in the U.S.

Over the weekend, Democrats and their lapdogs in the media went on the attack with the lie that Trump called the Coronavirus a “hoax.”

It was a media lie that even Facebook’s “factcheckers” called fake news.

Of course, Trump did no such thing. What he did was say that the Democrat response was the “hoax.”

The president even struck back at the left for its lies:

“I was criticized by the Democrats when I closed the Country down to China many weeks ahead of what almost everyone recommended. Saved many lives. Dems were working the Impeachment Hoax. They didn’t have a clue! Now they are fear mongering. Be calm & vigilant,” he tweeted.

But, while the media and the anti-American Democrats might be attacking, a list of experts are praising Trump for the measures he has taken to date.

Per PJ Media’s Matt Margolies:

New York Times science reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr. noted that the Trump administration took “aggressive measures like barring entry to non-Americans who were recently in China and advising Americans not to go to China or South Korea,” and that this strategy worked, despite the fact that the World Health Organization officially opposes travel and trade restrictions, and “reiterated that even as it declared the epidemic a global emergency on Jan. 30.”

Republican Senator Tom Cotton said on Friday that “The single most consequential and valuable thing done to stop this virus from already spreading throughout the United States was when President Trump decided to shut down travel to China last month.” He also acknowledged that “the so-called experts who opposed the decision at the time” eventually admitted that it “bought valuable time to prevent the spread of this virus in the United States.”

China and East Asia expert Gordon Chang also praised the president:

Another medical expert praising Trump’s efforts is Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at New York University, Siegel says the administration is doing an excellent job on the problem, handling it better than past administrations handled similar health crises.

Per Breitbart News:

“I’ve been handling these emerging contagions for about 20 years now, and I have to tell you, I’ve never seen one handled better,” said Siegel of President Donald Trump’s approach to the coronavirus outbreak. [….]

“The task force are really top players,” said Siegel, noting the task force’s inclusion Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) infectious disease. Fauci is “one of the top infectious disease experts in the country,” he noted.

Siegel noted the coronavirus task force’s inclusion of CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, a virologist, and Dr. Nancy Messonnier, an expert in vaccines.

“They’ve been doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing,” said Siegel of the Trump administration’s measures towards protecting Americans from the coronavirus. “[They are] restricting travel, isolating patients who are sick and, trying to cut down on contact. It’s a very hard thing to do when people are pouring in from all over the world.”

So far, Trump has helped keep the U.S. safer from the virus than other countries have done for their citizens.
