President Trump has sought to deflect political blame as his administration shifts toward addressing the economic fallout from the pandemic

WASHINGTON—President Trump warned the nation two weeks ago to expect the most difficult period of the coronavirus crisis that could involve hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The U.S. death toll has continued to rise since then, reaching a total of around 33,000, with record fatalities over a 24-hour period to Thursday. But stay-at-home measures and increased testing across the country have shown signs of slowing the pandemic’s rapid spread.

OH ....BS...REASON I DONT SUBSCRIBE TO THE WSJ ANYMORE...TIRED OF THEIR CRAPPY LIBERAL HATE REPORTING. SWITCHED TO EPOCH TIMES...PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHT FORWARD NEWS AND MUCH LESS TO NO BIASINESS ! .. .. ...

It’s clear all the terminated writers from Buzzfeed went to work for the WSJ.

What a liberal rag!!!

When your information is based on a lie it is impossible to make perfect decisions.

WSJ BS artist

Even if true, Obama did the same whenever he screwed up. Media protected him.

Trump’s a pathological liar

But democrats haven't sought to do the same thing? We all know that they encouraged people to congregate in Chinatowns across the US while the virus was starting to spread. There isn't any highlighting and criticism of their actions which arguable led to death in places like NY

You guys are damn liars...and you call yourselves journalists...you make me sick to my stomach.

FEARLESS LEADER only wants to be PRESIDENT OF THE RECOVERY. THE HERO. INSTEAD, HE'LL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AS THE GUY WHO KILLED PEOPLE AND IGNORED THE VIRUS. 'GEE, NO WONDER THEY IMPEACHED HIM.' -- People in 2079....

Incorrect, realDonaldTrump was prepared to take everything on his shoulders, then the Governors said; no, we'll do it. The Virus Task Force is still in full effect. This false premise, scenario creation is very unbecoming for a major news outlet.

Meh. I see him proactively fighting off biased left wing media (and their master Dems) desperately trying to set him up for their next investigation/impeachment hoax. You can't really blame him after seeing what happened past 3 yrs.

NYT, WaPost, MSNBC, ..., WSJ

The Deflector-in-Chief!

You can’t blame the guy in this environment. Got to be tiring to be a constant target. Still, I miss when we had the illusion of a real grown-up government. The constitution was just not meant to be upheld by children.

I don’t know if China was with him on the golf course with him in February. Maybe

Even children can admit they were wrong. growup

“I've always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I've felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.” —realDonaldTrump, March 17, 2020 Mike_Pence WhiteHouse

This guy is in for a rude shock when smaller and poorer countries will be issuing travel advisory against USA in the coming months. Control the virus and the economy will bounce back.

Political blame? You are becoming 'Fake News.'

TrumpMustResign RT

He broke it, he bought it. All of it!

Hey WSJ - blame for what - calling it a china virus ?

Ettu, WSJ?

Has sought? Is seeking actively. He's about the optics not the outcomes.

For a respected journal you keep missing the point: The econ shitstorm the dems have wished for and got has now made Trump INDISPENSABLE. NO DEM ALIVE TODAY knows how to grow an economy. With a global crisis, GROWTH is now NECESSARY

He deserves no blame ... closes border, puts task force in place, started testing and found CDC lacking, started vaccine tests and most important rallied business to solve problems ! All while BS impeachment!

POTUS has done an outstanding job! Now it’s time to go back to work!

*seal clapping*

is it false that ... the chinese government and WHO(World Health Organization) delayed / down played the deadly spread of covid 19 initially ... and could that have delayed our response ?

On the contrary, I see a well thought out strategy take his dear nation across the abyss. Salute to a great commander in Chief! Amen!!

Deflect, deny, defend, deflect, deny, defend, bla bla bla

He isn’t trying to deflect political blame. He is fighting a dishonest media. Just like this headline.

TeamPelosi nytimes washingtonpost SenSchumer maddow NicolleDWallace JoeNBC wolfblitzer Because of Trumps inadequacies, ineptness and lack of empathy he has failed the American people. Maybe he just isn’t smart enough to handle the job!

He has done a great job! No matter what he does the left will have a problem with it.

Several people are still waiting on the stimulus payments promise by our President. Only certain people received theirs. Not right.

Blames Democrats, W.H.O., China, Pelosi, Alex Azar, Peter Navarro, Media, Gov. Cuomo, the States, immigrants, Doctors, other Governors—who is next USPS, the Pope, the Military, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet Who the fuck is President Your responsible, Trump! 🙄🔨

Shameful.

Fake news or propaganda? ihateliberald

Of course he has. He will take credit for anything good, and blame the governors for anything bad, as he continues to claim to be a leader while aggressively NOT LEADING.

Too late

Why not, if the statistics are appropriate to get going again.

impeached for ever by congress 2019! guilty of war crimes and guily for crimes against humanity!!

We Didn't shut down the Country!!! CDC estimates FLU illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths...

Had we done this right the first time, we wouldn’t be where we are. Our failure of leadership destroyed our economy and cost lives. Our failure to have a national plan going forward will be a drag on our economy and kill more people than necessary. It all starts at the top.

One-Two-Three Trump Play Buok: 1. Deflect CV 2. Blame CV on Governors 3. Tout Economic Heroics Then Campaign Like a Lunatic

The strategy of Trump....blame EVERYONE....China, WHO, Democrats, the media, Obama and now the Governors!

What we need: Testing, testing, testing. What we are getting: Deflecting, deflecting, deflecting.

Lives worth nothing in those authorities and capitalists. They only care about their money.

Yep profit over people, it's the GOP way.

Biggest clown show we’ve ever seen in this country. Period.

One Term Trump...November 2020

I remember when the Wall Street Journal was respectable

He will never admit his faults.

He owns the pandemic. It’s realDonaldTrump PANDEMIC

Addressing economic fallout should be prioritized as the economic impact of covid is truly devastating
