It’s Friday aka President Impeached is a Baby.
For President Impeached is a Baby, President Impeached has tweeted 12 times, so far.
Whines about W.H.O. based on something he heard on Fox News.
Why did the W.H.O. Ignore an email from Taiwanese health officials in late December alerting them to the possibility that CoronaVirus could be transmitted between humans? Why did the W.H.O. make several claims about the CoronaVirus that ere either inaccurate or misleading….

….in January and February, as the Virus spread globally? Why did the W.H.O. wait as long as it did to take decisive action? Lanhee Chen, Hoover Institution Fellow @FoxNews

Why did the W.H.O. make several claims about the CoronaVirus that ere either inaccurate or misleading….in January and February, as the Virus spread globally? Why did the W.H.O.
This timeline from Channel 4 News covers until March 17th, 2020.
He moves on from blaming W.H.O. for his own downplaying of the virus and his own praising of China, and spreading inaccurate or misleading information to focus on attacking Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Today people started losing their jobs because of Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, who should immediately come back to Washington and approve legislation to help families in America. End your ENDLESS VACATION!

ENDLESS VACATION!
Senators, and Congress people are sheltered in place, just as the rest of most of the U.S.. I’m not sure I’d call it a vacation.
Just leaving this here from April 10th.
When Trump was a candidate, he railed against Obama's travel, saying that, if elected, he would hardly ever leave the White House.

Now, a new Treasury budget report shows that the Trump family takes 12x more protected trips, almost always to Trump businesses, at taxpayer expense https://t.co/lT0oqgDQl3 pic.twitter.com/OrgJdravtf
Like any other first family, the Trump family deserves the best protection wherever they go. However, unlike other presidents, Trump has refused to divest from his businesses, and his personal travel is almost exclusively to Trump properties he still owns.
— Robert Maguire (@RobertMaguire_) April 10, 2020
As such, his almost constant personal travel raises questions not only of cost, but of conflicts of interest — not the least because the travel results in taxpayer payments to his properties, on par with the presidential salary he claims to donate https://t.co/1XxHqzWlL1 pic.twitter.com/EopurxFhms

After whining and bashing peeps, he moves to calling for a citizens uprising.

You can be sure these three tweets will be asked about during today’s campaign rally also known as the Impeached President’s daily bitches.
Minutes after a Fox News segment on a protest against social distancing measures outside the Minnesota governor's office, by conservative "Liberate Minnesota" group, Trump tweets "LIBERATE MINNESOTA!"

He was asked during Thursday’s campaign rally about the protesters ignoring social distancing orders, which the Impeached President himself has promoted that lasts until April 30th, and if he’d urge those protesters to listen to their local officials and authorities.
JON KARL: Shouldn't the anti-stay-at-home protesters in Michigan listen to local authorities?
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 16, 2020
TRUMP: "I think they're listening. I think they listen to me. They seem to be protesters that like me." pic.twitter.com/842jov2kY8
From the White House transcript.
President Impeached: I think they’re listening. I think they listen to me. They seem to be protesters that like me and respect this opinion. And my opinion is the same as just about all of the governors. They all want to open. Nobody wants to stay shut, but they want to open safely. So do I.
He moves to blast Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo.
Governor Cuomo should spend more time “doing” and less time “complaining”. Get out there and get the job done. Stop talking! We built you thousands of hospital beds that you didn’t need or use, gave large numbers of Ventilators that you should have had, and helped you with….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020
….testing that you should be doing. We have given New York far more money, help and equipment than any other state, by far, & these great men & women who did the job never hear you say thanks. Your numbers are not good. Less talk and more action!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020
Governor Cuomo responded to the Impeached President’s tweets.
In extended fiery remarks, Gov. Andrew Cuomo responds to attack from Donald Trump: "First of all, If he's sitting home watching TV, maybe he should get up and go to work, right?"

Regarding Cuomo’s testing remarks.
Gov. Cuomo: "The federal government cannot wipe their hands of this and say– Oh, the states are responsible for testing– We cannot do it without federal help…This is mayhem. We need a coordinated approach between the federal government and the states." pic.twitter.com/WRzs8jipAR
— Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) April 17, 2020
He explains that the labs need chemicals in order to run tests, and that the chemicals needed come from China, and China is now being overrun with global orders. He says as governor he can’t do “international relations,” that’s up to the federal government.
And once again, the Impeached Asshole is getting his information from Fox News.

After bashing Cuomo once, which he does again later, in his massive Twitter meltdown this morning and afternoon, President Impeached moved on to bash former President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden/Obama were a disaster in handling the H1N1 Swine Flu. Polling at the time showed disastrous approval numbers. 17,000 people died unnecessarily and through incompetence! Also, don’t forget their 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare website that should have cost close to nothing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020
From the CDC final estimates of the H1N1 pandemic published May of 2011.
From April 2009 to April 2010: we estimate that approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (8868-18,306) occurred in the United States due to pH1N1. Eighty-seven percent of deaths occurred in those under 65 years of age with children and working adults having risks of hospitalization and death 4 to 7 times and 8 to 12 times greater, respectively, than estimates of impact due to seasonal influenza covering the years 1976-2001. In our study, adults 65 years of age or older were found to have rates of hospitalization and death that were up to 75% and 81%, respectively, lower than seasonal influenza. These results confirm the necessity of a concerted public health response to pH1N1.
In February of 2010, the CDC estimated that estimated deaths related to H1N1 were 17,620.
Johns Hopkins on Friday @ 10:34 a.m. CA. time, reports that:
672,303 people have tested positive for the coronavirus.
33,898 people have died related to the coronavirus.
56,243 people are said to be in total recovery.
As a reminder the Impeached President signed a stimulus package that totals $2.2 trillion. And he along with the Senate and the House are preparing for additional money to be spent regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
We move on bashing former President’s and Vice President’s to bash China.
China has just announced a doubling in the number of their deaths from the Invisible Enemy. It is far higher than that and far higher than the U.S., not even close!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020
Trump thinks an increase of 50% is doubling apparently and also he's still watching television and tweeting about it.

CNN reported on Friday that Wuhan officials have revised the number of deaths regarding the novel coronavirus by 1,290 people, while also adding an additional 325 confirmed cases.
Officials in Wuhan, where the virus was first reported late last year, on Friday added 1,290 coronavirus deaths to the city’s toll. They also added 325 confirmed cases to the city tally.
CNN. 04/17/2020.
The total number of cases recorded in the city now stands at 50,333, with 3,869 deaths. The previous reported death toll for Wuhan was 2,579 — so the revised figure marks a 50% increase in the number of deaths in the city from coronavirus.
As of April 17, China’s National Health Commission had reported 3,342 deaths nationally, before the revised Wuhan figures were published.
Officials explained that initially deaths had gone uncounted in the early stages of the pandemic with some people dying at home, which delayed collections the figures.
He brings up TESTING and continues to push that the states have to step up.
The States have to step up their TESTING!

April 11th, President Impeached said during a campaign rally disguised as a press briefing “we don’t need testing, you don’t have to test every person.”
President Donald Trump says that nationwide testing 'isn’t necessary' in order to reopen the US, suggesting there will not be mass testing.

Experts agree that in order to safely reopen the economy we need to increase testing. The governors have also asked for more testing.
More Cuomo bashing.
Cuomo ridiculously wanted “40 thousand Ventilators”. We gave him a small fraction of that number, and it was plenty. State should have had them in stockpile!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020
Cuomo explained that they were relaying on federal projections.
Cuomo: "The projections were high. They were the president's projections. So for him to say to anyone, 'well, you relied on projections and the projections were wrong,' they're your projections, Mr. President. So were we foolish for relying on your projections, Mr. President?" pic.twitter.com/rHDalAO6tK
