As of March 20, 2021, more than 541,000 Americans have died. The United States is in extreme Distress!
Our former President did not follow the advice of public health experts, nor support social distancing, wearing masks and encourages mass gatherings. Needless Covid-19 deaths were caused by former President Trump who failed to address the Coronavirus during January and February.
Trump knew in January that Covid-19 was airborn and five times more deadly than the flu. He intentionally did not inform the American public and continuously lied about the virus because he was more concerned about the stock market and his re-election.
On April 13, Trump told Woodward, “This thing is a killer if it gets you. If you’re the wrong person, you don’t have a chance. It is the plague.”
As of January 11, 2021, former President Trump did not have a national plan for testing and providing PPE.
- If the U.S. acted as effectively as Germany (scaling up the population differences), 70% of U.S. coronavirus deaths might have been prevented. This is the most conservative estimate.
- Scaling up the population differences of South Korea, Australia, and Singapore if the U.S. handled the coronavirus as effectively as the these countries, roughly 99% of U.S. Covid-19 might have been averted.
- Trumps failure to use the Defense Production Act will cause even more deaths.
Now is the time for a National mandatory mask order to keep people from becoming “Walking Weapons”.
If the CEO of a company was warned of a dangerous condition within his business which could result in the death of his employees and/or customers and he ignored taking the appropriate remedial action, the CEO would be criminally negligent.
This Timeline documents President Trump was grossly negligent in his response or lack of response to the COVID pandemic. The below timeline of those actions and/or failure to act include but is not limited to the following which resulted in the death of tens of thousands of American lives and massive unemployment.

China announced to the world that it was investigating a “respiratory illness” in its city of Wuhan. The respiratory illness was called an “outbreak.”
U.S. intelligence agencies warned of the threat posed by the coronavirus. Trump took no action, nor did he instruct anyone in his administration to take remedial action.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued “travel warnings” to Americans planning trips to China. The CDC said it was “monitoring” the China “outbreak.”
CDC announced it would “screen” individuals arriving in America from Wuhan, China. The President was thus on notice that a serious medical crisis was developing.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar briefed Trump at the President’s Mar-a-Lago resort about the threat posed by the coronavirus spreading across the globe.
The first confirmed case of the COVID virus was found in Washington in a traveler who had recently returned from a visit to China. The same day the first case was confirmed in South Korea.
Trump said “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.”
White House aides urged Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney, to take the threat of the COVID virus more seriously as should the President.
National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien warned Trump, “This will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency. This is going to be the roughest thing you face”. Matthew Pottinger, Deputy National Security Adviser, told the President that after reaching contacts in China, it was evident that the world would face a health emergency on par with the Flu Pandemic of 1918.
Trump’s economic adviser Peter Navarro sent a memo to Trump’s administration officials that stated “The lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine would leave Americans defenseless in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak on U.S. soil,” Mr. Navarro’s memo said. “This lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans.” During this time, Trump was playing down the risks to the United States. Mr. Navarro emphasized the “risk of a worst-case pandemic scenario should not be overlooked” and that more than half-million Americans could die.
Independent of the President, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar established a COVID virus task force to address the rising threat.
Secretary Azar warned Trump a second time about the threat posed by the COVID virus.
Trump bans entry of anyone into U.S. who had visited China within the previous 14 days. Exemptions in the travel ban would allow 40,000 people to enter U.S. from China after the ban was put in place.
HHS Secretary Azar declared the coronavirus a “public health emergency.
U.S. senators urged the Trump administration to take the COVID virus more seriously. Trump failed to heed those warnings.
Trump told Bob Woodward, “You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed.” “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flus.” “This is deadly stuff.” At that time, Trump was telling the nation that the virus was no worse than a seasonal flu, and it would soon disappear.
Trump said “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”
National Security Council prepared a memo that the COVID virus required “targeted quarantine and isolation measures.” The President took no action on the memo.
Peter Navarro sent a second memo which said “increasing probability of a full-blown COVID-19 pandemic that could infect as many as 100 million Americans, with a lost of life of as many as 1-2 million souls.”
Trump said “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the US. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Director Nancy Messonnier issued a strong warning about the COVID virus threat, which was angrily rebuffed by Trump.
White House National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said in an interview on CNBC that the U.S. had coronavirus “contained” and it was “pretty close to airtight.” Kudlow added the coronavirus was a “human tragedy,” but “I don’t think it’s going to be an economic tragedy at all.” He added that investors should “very seriously” look at purchasing stocks after they decline in value. What happened that day: The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost almost 900 points, marking a total loss of about 2,267 through four days.
First case of “community spread” of the COVID virus in the U.S. when California man became infected.
Vice President Mike Pence named to head a White House task force to deal with the COVID virus as Trump downplays the crisis by misinforming the nation his administration is “really prepared” to deal with the public health emergency.
Trump said “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
Trump said “It’s going to disappear. One day – it’s like a miracle – it will disappear.” (Trump obviously misinformed the public because he was concerned about the stock market.
Trump called the COVID virus a Democratic “hoax” at a South Carolina political rally. Again, a politically calculated lie.
Trump falsely stated that the U.S. was leading the world in testing for the virus even though the nation had only conducted a few thousand tests by end of day on February 28.
Trump said “And I’ve gotten to know these professionals. They’re incredible. And everything is under control. I mean, they’re very, very cool. They’ve done it, and they’ve done it well. Everything is really under control.”
Trump deflected by falsely blaming the Obama administration for mishandling of the “swine flu.”
Trump said “Some people will have this at a very light level and won’t even go to a doctor or hospital, and they’ll get better. There are many people like that.”
Trump said “[W]e have a very small number of people in this country [infected]. We have a big country. The biggest impact we had was when we took the 40-plus people [from a cruise ship]….. We brought them back. We immediately quarantined them. But you add that to the numbers. But if you don’t add that to the numbers, we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.”
Trump said “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job.”
Trump stated “The Fake news Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power… to inflame the CoronaVirus situation.”
Trump said “Just stay calm. It will go away!” The next day W.H.O. declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic
Trump said “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
World Health Organization declared COVID virus a “pandemic.” The U.S. death toll stood at 37 at the time.
Trump banned travel from European countries, except for Ireland and United Kingdom, into the U.S. Thousands of people returning from these countries were crammed into small spaces in the 13 designated airports as they awaited a limited screening process. Public health experts feared many carried the virus and were spreading it among non-infected passengers. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot accused the Trump administration of creating a serious risk of illness and death. Some passengers said there was no screening at all.
Trump declared a “national emergency” to deal with the COVID pandemic. The virus had killed 41 people at the time.
Trump deliberately misinformed the nation that it was “totally unnecessary” to test people not showing symptoms of the virus infection.
Trump stated “We’re using the full power of the federal government to defeat the virus, and that’s what we’ve been doing.”
Trump said “This is a very contagious virus. It’s incredible. But it’s something that we have tremendous control over.”
Trump issued a “stay at home” suggestion to the nation’s workforce. Trump stated that he knew the COVID virus was a “pandemic” long before it was a pandemic, thus establishing his negligent actions and failure to take remedial actions.
Trump said “I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the ‘borders’ from China – against the wishes of almost all.”
Trump told Bob Woodward, “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”
Trump stated “We took the best economy we’ve ever had and we said ‘Stop. You can’t work. You have to stay home.’… Here’s a case we’re paying a lot of money to stop things because we don’t want people to be together so that this virus doesn’t continue onward.”
Trump said “America will again, and soon, be open for business – very soon – a lot sooner than three or four months that somebody was suggesting… We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.”
Trump said “I’d love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter.”
Trump stated he wanted the nation’s economy reopened by April 12.
Trump stated that people should wear a non-medical cloth mask when going into the public arena. Although he added, he wouldn’t wear one.
Trump pushed an unproven anti-malaria drug, hydrozychloroquine, to treat the COVID virus.
Trump told Woodward, “This thing is a killer if it gets you. If you’re the wrong person, you don’t have a chance. It is the plague.”
