Hollywood Star Debra Messing on Trump: “150,000 Americans Dead and He Did Nothing”
Actress Debra Messing made a vicious accusation against President Donald Trump on her recent Twitter post.
The actress suggested that Trump knew about the massive extent of the deadly coronavirus pandemic but still chose to downplay it. As a result, Messing claimed that he should be responsible for all the deaths. “He f***ing knew.” Messing wrote. She continued that “150,00 Americans dead. And he did NOTHING”, adding “#TrumpOwnsEveryDeath.”
Her response came after media outlet The Daily Beast had published an exclusive report saying that the US military had already been warned that as many as 150,000 Americans might possibly die from the virus. Moreover, based on the classified document, as much as 89 million could be affected by the virus, with 500,000 in need of medical care.
HE. FUCKING. KNEW. 150,000 Americans DEAD. And he did NOTHING. #TrumpOwnsEveryDeath https://t.co/7dvVSEpqSb

Social media pundits also went along the actress’s vicious statements. One Twitter user claimed that Trump had been given a “coronavirus playbook,” but he still chose to ignore it.
Of course he knew! He had literal pandemic playbook handed to him by Obama admin. @AmbJohnBolton also shares responsibility as he disbanded the pandemic team built for this. #TrumpOwnsEveryDeath pic.twitter.com/uidviFVvTc

Another wrote that Trump would have to pay for his decisions with a prison sentence.
This is one of the reasons Rep. Schiff is initiating a 9/11 inquiry into trump's actions in handling this virus. Prison time is coming for the incomprtent man acting as president.

While one social media pundit agreed, believing that Trump was “criminally negligent.”
THIS IS SIMPLY CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE ON PRESIDENT @realDonaldTrump part & ALL THOSE in the White House and beyond who perpetrated these lies @seanhannity @foxandfriends @BillOReilly @KellyannePolls @VP @PressSec & so many more

Despite the president’s best effort, one claimed that all Trump did was play golf as the rest of the country plunged into a crisis.
He needs to face manslaughter charges for every American dying needlessly because he was too busy golfing and raiding the US Treasury to pay attention.

Finally, one wrote that indeed “Sleepy Joe” Biden was right.
Repubs: ‘Nobody Expected’ the #Coronavirus Pandemic. So #JoeBiden Is Nobody?#Biden wrote an op-ed on Jan. 27, warning that DJT had left the country unprepared. One of Biden's main advisers wrote similar warnings 5 days before that.#TrumpOwnsEveryDeathhttps://t.co/FLYXqZVxjC

As the country hit more than 6,000 fatalities, even the president hinted that China might be hiding the real extent of the pandemic. In fact, according to Coronavirus Response Coordinator for the White House, Dr. Deborah Birx, the problem was that US medical experts did not initially suspect that the virus would turn into a global crisis based on the earlier reports from the Chinese government.
Globally, Spain has recorded 11,000 COVID-19 related deaths, while Italy had more than 14,000 fatalities. As of the moment, the virus had infected more than 1 million people worldwide and took 50,000 lives.
In the US, the country had already reported 6,000 deaths, while 10,000 more patients were able to recover.
Just last month, the actress had also lashed out on GOP supporters, suggesting that they might possibly die from coronavirus due to Trump’s decision to downplay the pandemic. She also labeled the US president as a “liar-in-chief” over his alleged claims that the virus was a “hoax.”
However, the statement had already been discredited, as Trump referred to the Democratic party as a “hoax” and not the virus.
LIAR-IN-CHIEF. #Maga have been unmoved by the 16500 lies 45 has made since elected. Now that innumerable people (including MAGA) will die, because of his lies and inaction, I wonder if MAGA will recognize that 45 must be voted out? pic.twitter.com/exzOx4G5Qz
