Trump blasted for spreading c****av***s ‘misinformation’ in Fox News interview with Sean Hannity
President Donald Trump spread misinformation about the c****av***s during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity — and faced furious outrage afterward.
The president insisted the World Health Organization’s estimated 3.4 percent death rate from COVI-19 was a “false number,” and said he had a “hunch” that it was actually below 1 percent, along with a number of other highly misleading claims about the outbreak and other topics.

Other social media users were shocked that he’d post portions of the interview, because so many of his claims were demonstrably false.
Wow you listened to that and thought it should be posted?
Listen again.

Hannity interviewing @realDonaldTrump is just a monologue.

It’s difficult to wrap your head around the fact that the president called into a TV show & made a series of statements during a p******c directly contradicting public health advice. The mind boggles at how reckless & dangerous that is. People who follow his bad advice could die.

Donald Trump on the Fox @seanhannity show said he had a HUNCH that the death rate from c****av***s is not really 3+% & symptoms may be so mild that U might even go to work.

@CDCgov @CDCDirector Does anyone at CDC have the courage to tell Mr Trump that his misinformation about C****av***s that he is putting out is dangerous and will harm those who listen to him? CDC has a responsibility to America. Live up to your responsibility

in the future i think we'll be safer if we make p**********l candidates go thru various IQ testing, emotional IQ testing, personality type surveys and wh**ever else would be relevant in ensuring our president has the mental capacity to process even the simplest of concepts

He has no idea how the world works. I knew about Spanish flu, SARS, MERS, bird flu, the "normal flu", etc. My caution with this began with one tweet. pic.twitter.com/dG5OJHTOsS

Trump would prefer the c****av***s death rate to be lower, so he says, based on a "hunch" and "a lot of conversations", that HE'D say the number is "way under 1%".
Trump is casting doubt on WHO (World Health Organization) reports. Distrusting their numbers. Disinformation.

Listening to him.
They go to work, they go to work and get better very rapidly.
This is the leader of the free world.
Great.
