An inside look at Trump’s failed coronavirus response | America’s Pandemic

- This video is the final installment of a three-part documentary series by the Washington Post. Read more on The Washington Post: wapo.st/3ovFoQx
Despite decades of warnings and preparation, President Trump has claimed that covid-19 “came out of nowhere.” He downplayed the coronavirus as it began to take hold in the U.S., disregarding the advice of experts and politicizing a health crisis. Through interviews with former Trump administration officials Mark Harvey and Olivia Troye, along with Washington Post reporters Dan Balz and Yasmeen Abutaleb, “Playing it down” explores why the White House was slow to respond to the pandemic, and the far-reaching consequences of its inaction. After months of mixed messages, contradictory policies, divisive rhetoric - and more than 220,000 deaths - the president continues to insist the virus will one day disappear.

He needs to be held accountable for every death he caused by his manipulation, lies and misinformation . He and everyone involved should be in prison the rest of their lives or worse
I totally agree.
Totally 💯
He did everything Not to deal with it and only tried to PR his way out
Such an evil man!

If you hire a con man, you get conned.
The story of the American people lives within the past 60 years worth of elections.
The best bumper sticker I've ever seen: "Elect a clown. Expect a circus."
Grifter, con man
@@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt definitely a circus. My favorite is elect a reality star, live in a reality show, today it “Survivor” 262,000 dead so far. What a show!
Yup and 73 million people Still haven’t learned
The ignorance of this man's response is absolutely terrifying. He doesn't care how many die, as long as he is reelected.
Way too many Americans and people all around the world died unnecessarily.
Trump was a liar.
I think you confused him with biden
What terrible timing to have the worst guy possible in charge when a pandemic happens.
Trump actually didnt do too badly. The MSM is trying to make something out of "Downplaying" - their smoking gun. Nothing is wrong with optimism. The lockdowns and measures taken had zero impact. Its clear now in 2023 that Democrats wanted him to fail hence the reason for this video. The wanted the vaccine to be delated until after the election and and Pfizer announced it two days after. The early release of the vaccine for High Risk patients would have saved many lives. During Omicron the vaccines had little or no impact - countries around the world who ignored the vaccine did far better than those who pretended that vaccines were effective. Covid vaccine hesitancy was exclusively caused by Democrats and the MSM. Biden/Harris: "Im not taking the vaccine", "I dont trust the vaccine they all said. After Biden took office he further divided the country by starting a PSA that involved all living presidents EXCEPT the one who half the country just voted for.
Then we have the whole issue of Dems/Media/Science covering the origins of covid and literally WHO is the blame for Every Single Covid death. Scientists deliberately created this virus, and they and their friends in the media need to be held to account. While they blamed Trump and colluded with every player like the Teachers Unions, Cuomo and other Blue state governors where literally murdering innocent people in Nursing homes - they know full well that nursing homes tend to be older and conservative.
After the FBI went after Hillary about the emails and her lead diminished, I knew Trump would be elected. I remember telling my Dr. that I was worried something bad was going to happen the U.S. and Trump was only going to make it worse.

Trump does not care about us. It's really that simple. What a blessing he lost a second term.
You will regret those words one day. Come back here in 1 year if Biden becomes President and see if those words ring true them .. a lot of things media's reported were false like the play down of Covid thats what he was told he was told that it's no big deal. So he passed that to us anyone that raises awareness has disappeared . And for Trump as soon as he gets people fired up and standing up to the Left hell breaks loose they put this covid out there because AI is the solution how else can they get us to go for it. Let loose A disease that has enough fear to it to .. All the new tech. Will assure us not to have to go thru the same deviation that covid caused,, now we hear Al Democrats have had a plan for us for 30 year they have been working on it and it's here AI systems is mature and your seeing it now starting with Google shut down . . So in a year come back . Same day 1 /1/2022 see how you feel.

Props to Olivia Troye for telling the truth and walking away from what was not right.
Never Forget the Lying and Those We Lost Because of it.
Families destroyed, businesses gone, pain in so many forms and our government repeatedly failed us. Yet there are still red hats around.
No, not the whole government. Many were trying to do the right thing. It was Trump not wanting to deal with it. He silenced many who tried to sound the alarm. The blood of those who died from it are on Trump's hands & no one else.
It's flat out unforgivable. Period
Who’s here when the US has long surpassed 1 million deaths, but people seem to have mostly forgotten about the pandemic?
Granted I’m Canadian but that’s how it feels here.
Most people here now in denial. I got my Bivalent vaccine and still wear masks, KN95's.
honestly? that's the feeling we had from Australia too.
Some of us can never forget--long COVID rules my life. It rules my once vibrant, active, economically stable life. SHAME on Donald Trump for making way for deaths, long COVID, and an erosion of our ability to live in a science-based society.
He called it a hoax when he could have taken prompt action.
KING VICTIM....ask him----he'll tell you, the WHOOOOOLE world is out to GET him and make him LOOK bad!!!! he HIMSELF has all the bases so COVERED, there aren't any left TO cover!!!! he's a one man, contaminated, toxic sludge cesspool alllllll by himself!
Yes he could have and been a hero but it’s impossible for Trump to see things that way he could only see it as a threat to him and the Stock Market which he felt was making him look successful so instead of trying to control the virus he weaponized it. If Trump had not weaponized mask wearing his supporters would have worn them but he made them feel victimized with wearing mask and played down the virus at the same time. The bottom line is that nothing is larger to Trump than himself, not this country or it’s people it is strictly Trump first and it was his downfall.
He said the Democrats were a hoax not the virus
He was so sure that the virus had been invented to bring him down.
As it happened, the virus DID bring him down - but only because he failed to take the right action at the very beginning.
@@alizakessler he doesn’t even know what he said... he’ll say he didn’t say it two seconds after he said it then say you’re being nasty for asking a mean question! He’s a perpetual toddler... and I know some toddlers who behave and act better than this waste of human cells!
What makes this more infuriating is that they had plenty of time to stop this.
For me it was Trump holding rallies and thumbing his nose at mask wearing and other mitigation efforts.
@JC Denton what about the symptoms you end up having even if you survive? the long term symptoms like Coughing, Ongoing, sometimes debilitating, fatigue, Body aches
Joint pain, Shortness of breath, Loss of taste and smell, Difficulty sleeping, Headaches and
Brain fog. Just because you survive doesn’t mean you won’t have long term effects because of it.
@JC Denton yeah can you
@JC Denton what about the overrun intensive care units in hospitals? Do all those people just have a small, little, measly cough?
@JC Denton I have "covid long haulers" I have had covid twice a little over a year apart and I now have a chronic cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and many more symptoms. It is facts look it up on the cdc, I am 36, and once again I had it TWICE now.
This is one of many critical moments that Americans will not forget. DT stood by and lied about the danger. What a shame.
And this is what a hacked brain thinks.
"Slow the testing down please!" - Trump
This line summarizes his pandemic response.
Lol not really as it was a joke something you seem to get little of.
@@kordellswoffer1520it wasn't a joke. He was and IS still a joke. Over a million Americans dead, who would even make a joke at a time like that? So yeah the leader of the free world was making a joke....you can't be that...well yeah you can be Ya'll have proven that.
He said he was being sarcastic. That was supposed to make it better?!? Maniac. Did he think families of the dead and dying were laughing?!? It showed he looked at the problem as a joke
He was so undeserving of the medical help he got after contracting covid. He is the worst American president.
Don't pay taxes, he gets socialized medicine
No that was Obama.
I know you're just a troll, but go ahead and explain that claim. What part makes Obama the worst? His having to pick up the pieces of a global recession that started under Dubya? His inability to be bipartisan with Republicans who said they refuse to do anything but oppose? His lack of dawn tweets and indicted business partners?

I’m sorry for your lost if trump took this seriously there would had been last deaths
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😭My cousin, 61, died of Covid-19 on August 12th, 2021. He did not get the vaccine, not sure why. He was diabetic and was considered high-risk should he get Covid.
Yes, my Dad's death shut my parent's retirement community down. He was the only person there to die from it. But I think I gave it to him. There were no tests then but I'd been sick with a respiratory virus for 6 weeks before I thought I was well. I hope it isn't true.
bUt iT’s tRuMp’S fAuLt. You guys blaming the president for something out of there control is RIDICULOUSLY AND UTTERLY STUPID
I feel your pain because no one knows what it's like to lose a love one. Until it happens to you.
I couldn’t get the test. It was awful, though. I remember staying home and staying away from my loved ones so that they didn’t get it. The next year it took a long time to get the vaccine. When each age group got the vaccination and it was my turn, I had grief trying to get it. People were dropping dead, like flies. It was so scary. The worst time in history for the teachers, children and medical personnel.
If president Biden was in office during coronavirus it probably wouldn’t have gotten in the United States.
Wow so disrespectful to mention George Floyd saying "I cant breathe" and to equate that to wearing a mask. You are still alive. Yes you can breathe. The inconvenience of wearing a mask compared to someone killing a human being for 8:46 is very heartless and insulting.
If your lungs are too weak to pull air through fabric then you sure as hell don't need to be out during a respiratory pandemic. I don't know why some people can't understand that, but I'm perfectly comfortable locking them up for their own welfare. If they are deemed able to understand then they are a public menace and need to be locked up for societies welfare.
people are idiots my friend, but luckily they're fairly easy to spot. They voted for trump or they wear MAga hats

That is Pilosi's fault
That Sheriff saying“ Don’t be a sheep” I hope he regrets what he says and is choking on his words now after the millions that have died! Absolutely inexcusable!
The sad thing is I’m sure he is probably still saying it. Along with the others come on people it has a 99% survival rate and all that other nonsense. They fail to realize 1% of the Population of U.S would be around 30 Million deaths. Probably more than that because we don’t have a accurate count of the population.

@@pureenergy4578 Yeah, no your brain has gone into oblivion..
When this started, I completely ignored the political leaders and listened to the medical experts. I was a front line worker and what I witnessed vs what the political leaders were saying was in complete contrast with each other. I SAW that instantly and was horrified at what I was witnessing unfold in such a public arena! Here we are in March, 2023 and with all the vaccines taken, I am STILL wearing a mask out in public, using hand sanitizer, and avoiding public places as much as possible. I still do trunk pickup at grocery stores! COVID still to this day, scares the CRAP out of me! I was so careful that I was exposed on a number of occasions in my profession and cared for people with it and NEVER got it. I credit that to making sure I had the right equipment, sanitizing EVERYTHING and dropping my gear at the door when I got home while washing EVERYTHING at the point of coming in the door, showering and then sanitizing EVERYTHING in my house once inside every day. I still do this to this day.

Thank you. You guys in NZ stay safe and healthy too 💕

What happens when nothing really changes after Jan 20? What happens when Joe Biden turns out to be just another politician like all other politicians are Democrat or Republican, making promises to get into office and then falling short after they get the power? Will they retroactively be on Trumps hands as well? It's either one way or the other. I'm no fan of Trump what so ever, even though I am a conservative (I don't believe that Trump actually is a conservative or even a Republican for that matter). But to say that Trump has done an absolutely horrible job and that a lot of these deaths wouldn't have happened if not for Trump's direct actions? That's pretty all knowing of you to claim. Especially considering there are a lot of factors in everything that happened. In the United States, things are done differently from state to state and the amount of control and say so that the federal government has is on a constantly fluctuating scale. Plenty of states governed by people who are pure enemies of Trump, who are on the opposite end politically, and by most anti-Trump folks logic "good people" and "smart people" because of that, well, they've made absolutely horrible decisions that absolutely did result in people dying.. Like New York's governor Cuomo sending the most vulnerable, elderly patients, sick with covid, to a facility where they care for 10's and 100's more citizens who are of the most elderly, vulnerable and most with pre-existing conditions... Stupid decisions don't belong to one person in politics, they don't belong to one political party. They belong to all those in politics and all political parties.... but it doesn't matter, because regardless of how things go in 2021, either they'll get better and Biden's a hero, and if that's the case, great, fine by me, things are better. But if they DON'T get better, it absolutely will be "Biden had nothing to do with this it's an inherited issue from Trump, it's all still Trump's fault..", and you know that it will be the same people saying that who discounted any claims that Trump inherited any issues from Obama. The world of politics is sick, twisted and hypocritical...
He wanted to play it down because he didn't want to cause a panic? What a load of bollocks.
Who else wishes they worked for a guy like Jon Blumenauer @ The Joinery?! That is a good man and business owner right there...I wish him the best and hope his business pulls through.
Amen. That segment made me cry.
You know you fucked up in emergency response when you could put one of those *George W Bush Do You Miss Me Now?* billboards in the middle of New Orleans....and people would actually need at least one second to think about it.
Also I remember that during America’s full first week of closings I think in March 13 the cdc stated masks didt do anything and that you needed a mask with a filter etc then the next week they said “any type of face coverings would suffice” as they only reason they probably did this was because our country was running low on masks because morons would over buy like toilet paper. Iam assuming this was because medical personal needed masks. Yet I remember in that first week going grocery shopping which was crazy as hell !!!! Everyone still didt wear a mask and I had a mask and a scarf for protection. I assumed ppl thought I had covid. This is something that you just won’t ever forget
Masks r a joke...they dont work...Fouchi is a fraud
Would Trump had taken the pandemic more seriously if he thought all those dying because of his ignorance may have voted for him.
I will never understand the 70 million people who voted for Trump this past election. The lack of urgency, sympathy, and intelligence he brought to the table is sad and not human like. I'm not into politics but im glad he will be out of office soon. This country needs a fresh breath of air. We all deserve it. Rest In Peace to all the souls we lost this past year 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏
I’ll never understand why the other half voted for an actual racist. Both sides and the media are full of it.
@@MPerry-ox9qb I see your point , but people rather see change than a repeat.
White supremacists
@@essencekk explain your comment
White supremacists attacked the USA Capital on January 6
trump was too busy thinking of what to tweet in twitter than thinking about the virus itself.
No- He was probobly concerned about how all the prosperity the American people were having due the booming economy he helped create by lowering taxes, renegotiating bad trade agreements, and cutting red tape would be affected.
@Ed Kelly Hey, Trump was under an unrelenting barrage of investogations, false accusations and outright hatred from thee moment he announced his candidacy, after won the presidency,
and throughout his term. Meanwhile, if u take an honest assessment of what he achieved, you would. realize why his support is still so strong.He did more on 3 yrs that anyone else did in 8.
Ignorance is bliss. Try telling that to ALL the people who got sick and died. From his negligence and see what they have to say?
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. How can anyone not remember that?
Incompetence.... neglect.
No I just want to play it down!
Stop the hate Trump, Good Bye. Go start another reality show called, Failed presidents kicked to the curb.
@@ivbeenzucked5259 Well said. I still have the receipt for the packet of face masks I bought in January, when I was visiting my daughter in Spain. It will be a year tomorrow since we hugged at the airport, and I had already paid for my flight to spend May with her. That and another flight were cancelled, which I fully understand. I'm in my third lockdown. I always wear a mask, wash and disinfect my hands & never have guests. I don't care. I just look forward to eventually hugging my only child again.
Hello Genie
How sad for the people that believed him and died .. their family left with so much pain 😢😭 just breaks my heart !!
Cant put a truck driver to fly a plane !!
I know a conservative family who “injected his bleach kooklaid” and didn’t believe this was a hoax ... well now the 71 year old father is dead! Serves them right, as far as I’m concerned... I’m a Hospice aid and surgical tech, really a caring anc compassionate woman but anymore I hope conservatives croak... they and their ilk of politicians are evil and murders by direct result of poverty!!!
How sad for the people who drove those people's bus and checked out those people's groceries and drove those people's ambulance and tended those people in hospital.
Now that I think about it I have no kind thoughts for the people who were ignorant enough to believe him, they've done the species a favour by removing themselves from the gene pool and their communities.

What a sad little man, America should be ashamed ,kind regards Roy Bennett Wollongong NSW Australia.
I often wonder how different would this had gone if everyone had just masked up from the beginning. It's about caring for others, equal to and more than we care for ourselves. Nothing more.
Wow, if this man was a leader in most other Countries he would have had his butt handed to him.
Well actually eighty one million of us did hand his butt to him November third 2020.

He panders to the white supremacists, and it works.
Huge similarities to Bolsonaro and Boris. Disastrous leaders, all 3
I've really been trying to understand how anyone can support him. But no matter what I do, it's inconceivable. And don't even get me started on Q. My brain hurts just listening to that nonsense. I try to give people a chance, but I can't understand these people at all.
I can so relate! Hopefully it goes away soon and idk how they continue to believe it..but they do... 😮🙄...still after all of this...anyone who worships donald trump most definitely has issues , I mean seriously or believes this Q stuff..! Trump doesn't mind making fun of them either...he also pardoned a man who promised border walls who was stealing they money..sad especially when this country is built by immigrants!
exactly, you don't understand so you take the media's perspective on the whole thing and you generalize. Trump supporters aren't connected with QAnon, they're another organization and are dumb.
@@yoloodevil4170 .... and yet another bit of nonsense. (lies) A large portion of the Trump base supporters ... and voters ... are rabid Q devotees.
Just stop.
@@yoloodevil4170 what is your perspective?? I’m not being controversial I just want to know why support for a man that deals in 30,000+ lies,shell companies, nepotism, and loopholes has so much support at the cost of people like Mike Pence who did everything to stand by him. I honestly want to know.
@@richardluce775 The 30,000 lies was already called out for being a ridiculous claim and Mike Pence was never there for trump, he was always silent on defending him from all the media out bursts and challenges he was facing, he showed his true colors when he wasn't supporting trump on election claims sadly. And that is good you have the mindset to see into those you oppose but with everything being pushed out its hard to separate reality from unreliable, vague, or misleading information. I can't provide you my perspective as there is much about him, but for a few he made historical negotiations in the middle east, didn't start a war unlike our previous presidents, and he just speaks his mind instead of playing politician with his words. That would be really neat if I had my friend who keeps track on everything to just spill you a huge list and he can provide economic info, I would give you a link to a page of Trump's accomplishments (though I don't use that for informing) but I can no longer find it, rather I'm just recommended news articles when searching. I have commented too much, it is unhealthy, I'm basically here to let off some disappointed steam on people like susan.
Trump thought pronouncing China funny multiple times was going to somehow absolve him of any responsibility/guilt.
He will forever gave blood on his hands. He should NEVER be forgiven for this.
He can't run a hotel. Lret alone a country..when u have money u can get in anywhere.and that's how everything boils down. Money.
He ran the country better then Obama.
@@alizakessler that incompetent Obama. 500,000 pandemic victims under his watch. $7T in debt added in 4years after inheriting a stable economy. Daily attacking Americans on Twitter. Obama fought so hard to make Russia and North Korea great again. He held clandestine meetings with Putin and "fell in love" with Kim. Obama spent almost a full year of his only term in office shacked up at his hotels, golfing, pocketing fees for Secret Service personnel. What a bum...
@@alizakessler clearly
America is Broken --- with alot of broken people in it --- focused on their hatred of others and their SUPPOSEDLY WHITE SUPERIORITY -- But how can anyone who believes in Trump be superior
He gambled with the virus and lost and kissed his second term bid goodbye. Sadly, his poor judgment costs the lives of many innocent people that should have been alive today. Such a selfish guy and incompetent.
@Ben Swanwick Yes, there is a coronavirus with a high transmissible rate and causes more serious illnesses in some people than the influenza virus and I've seen people down with it. About the numbers, even the U.S Surgeon general said a few days ago that there is no reason for him to dispute the number. As a matter of fact, the U.S COVID death was under-reported between March to July to account for the death indirectly caused by the virus. This is not the first time death numbers are reported due to a public health crisis but this is the first time some politicians put their nose and made it political. For now, COVID-19 might not have the same number as the Flu because it's still new but if care isn't taken, its number will blow away that of Flu in no time.

Ikr. People have a short memory.

He lied and manipulated the information to get re-elected. Didn't give a damn about all of these people's lives. He's a sad excuse for a leader.
How sad it was! We missed a critical time period of handling Covid. The entire month of February our government didn’t really do anything substantial to control Covid.
Trump pretended it didn't exist.
He disbanded the agency that could have helped us and then ignored it when it began and let it silently spread throughout the country.
@@burkhartlaw1 Shows how stupid he was/is. Like, duh, it was Bush Jr who set it all up, Obama continued/improved upon it. But of course, he didn't see Bush, he just saw a black man who had done better than him, & he wanted to erase that any way he could.
@@jonathanbaron-crangle5093 it was Trump's goal to erase everything Obama accomplished. Luckily, he couldn't do it even with the help of the GOP controlled congress for two years. Unluckily, he did erase this part because Obama had touched it.

I’m making this observation from 🇬🇧. We have all experienced Covid 19 & I am waiting for vaccine, which I believe will be a month away. I think worst of Trump is that he was in denial about Covid. So many people dying & he compared it to flu. In U.K. once virus was recognised we acted, supported people. I don’t think we were necessarily the best but we were supported. It was almost laughable when he suggested injecting bleach. Trump has always been a comedy to me but his lack of compassion over Covid is appalling.
trump**VIRUS was a plot to see if trump**Would STOP his ATTACK on CHINA
Well trump**placed "TARIFFS on CHINA and maybe they sent trump**his own personal VIRUS. trump**PLAYED DOCKTOR-DEATH for over a yr and trump**

Now, it's a flu.
Look at Australia, 3000 cases per day with less than 10 dead, it's safer than getting a flu

Hello Aranda
Behind all of the failures is so much sadness for the family who lost their family members
THIS should have been a HUGE RED FLAG that rump was mentally unwell.
We had a well educated intelligent narcissist running the UK; the States had a stupid one. It’s hard to say which is worse, but they’re both awful.
Can someone please explain to me why so many Americans had a problem with face masks? I just don't get it!!!!!! Please someone explain this to me? 🤔
Because they were brainwashed by Trump
The reality of the US is the people gave up their personal responsibility to self determination a long time ago; they gave up on thinking for themselves and have gratefully bought into the political rhetoric that they are the greatest by simply being born in this county. They are a frightened people. They are frightened of being fired by their corporate masters who do not respect them or their skills, they are frightened of being sued or being ostracized by their community members for speaking out. And many are ashamed of how far they have fallen to admit they are causing the downfall of the great experiment through their lack of action. As Churchhill said you can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other options. They will continue to bluster until they finally bottom out or natural selection takes care of the problem.
Because they don't do a damn thing...Fauchi is a liar
Why don't trump take the bleach injection he should have then we would not be listening to a lier like trump
tRump: We have never seen a pandemic this aggressive
Spanish Flu: Am I a joke to you?
He says we haven’t seen this before yet the Spanish flu infected 500,000,000 people killing 50,000,00 or 1/3 of the world population. We have seen this before trust me. It’s not a question of if we have seen this it’s a question of our leader’s ability to unite the people to pull through this.
Unless you’re over 100 years old you’ve never seen a pandemic this bad, even then you were probably to young to remember it.
