Bad-Makeup Trump Says No One Could’ve Seen This Pandemic ‘Evirgency’ Coming
Donald Trump is holding another press briefing Tuesday, where he announced that his “15 days to stop the spread” is now 30 days.
Governors across the country are continuing to sound alarms about the need for more testing and more PPE, with several governors taking issue with comments made by the president on a Monday call about testing.
As of this posting, the death toll in the United States has reached over 3000 people.
In the past week there have been growing calls in the media for cable news networks to stop taking the briefings live because of misinformation shared by the president — most recently by Chris Hayes and Don Lemon.

Trump, with a straight face, then said no one could’ve seen this emergency coming.
Trump really wants you to believe that nobody could've seen the coronavirus pandemic coming. Unfortunately, he disbanded the US's pandemic preparedness team two years ago. pic.twitter.com/bGRrypEwFz

Trump then warned the nation we would be going though a very tough two weeks…when it will most likely be far longer than that:

Sadly, some reporters are already saying Trump is acting “presidential” just because he hasn’t screamed at anyone yet or called reporters nasty. Yet.
Trump hasn't been this sober through the crisis, now calling for prayers for people on the front lines of fighting the pandemic
