If Trump had admitted early on that..."he made a mistake in saying it was a hoax..

then how many lives would have been saved?

Maybe.. tens of thousands of lives would have been saved. Donald Trump does not want to ... "admit he makes mistakes." It is that simple in my opinion. Let's say that he said that in early or late May. " I made a terrible mistake and we must take total and complete precautions from this life killing disease. This disease could kill tens of thousands of us."
....I learned early on that it was ok to make mistakes, and that is why they put erasers on pencils.
(and is that why there is a delete key on this computer?)

...So how many lives would have been saved? Your guess is as good as mine.
But Trump didn't say that because he wanted to stick by.."it is a hoax" and will go away soon. Being right on that was more important than saving lives....Wait...he said it again last night?..Didn't he?

....Kind of like proof that he really doesn't care about anyone but himself. And his being totally correct,
is more important than anything else. Totally sick piece of s**t.

Go back through Trump's life. Almost all of it is in the public domain.

Try to find an occasion where Trump admits a mistake.

Try to find an occasion where Trump apologizes.

Try to find an occasion where Trump expresses concern for anyone but himself.

On second thought, don't bother wasting your time.
