President’s intelligence briefing book repeatedly cited virus threat

U.S. intelligence agencies issued warnings about the novel coronavirus in more than a dozen classified briefings prepared for President Trump in January and February, months during which he continued to play down the threat, according to current and former U.S. officials.

The repeated warnings were conveyed in issues of the President’s Daily Brief, a sensitive report that is produced before dawn each day and designed to call the president’s attention to the most significant global developments and security threats.

For weeks, the PDB — as the report is known — traced the virus’s spread around the globe, made clear that China was suppressing information about the contagion’s transmissibility and lethal toll, and raised the prospect of dire political and economic consequences.

But the alarms appear to have failed to register with the president, who routinely skips reading the PDB and has at times shown little patience for even the oral summary he takes two or three times per week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified material.

The advisories being relayed by U.S. spy agencies were part of a broader collection of worrisome signals that came during a period now regarded by many public health officials and other experts as a squandered opportunity to contain the outbreak.

As of Monday, more than 55,000 people in the United States had died of covid-19.

But, but, but the prefect call, the whistleblower, Crowdstrike, Hunter Biden and Hillary’s super secret server. The great leader was busy standing tremendously strong against the evil Dems.

All hail the great leader

They should have presented it in cartoon formats.

Where are all the Chumpsters on this thread ?
I guess they are on the one about "What could Chump have done sooner ?"
He dismisses the Intelligence community.
He plays his own "Hunches".

This is just another one sided, take only the information that supports your argument while ignoring everything else going on at the time, WAPO piece of Tripe.

Sportfisherman, those folks are busy learning the new conspiracy propaganda from Brietbart, Levin, and Fox opinion network. They have little interest in following reporters who stay focused. They’re more interested in placing blame on anyone but the great leader.

Btw, I got a bad case of cabin fever and a boat booked in May to get out on the water and pop a cork, Covid19 be damned. Fish on dude.

He certainly squandered an opportunity to handle things better.
He is trying to Revise the history.
It's going to come home to roost on him.
The comments of EL above about "experts on hand" were regarding their public comments and influenced by them being supportive of Chump's agenda in public.Privately many expressed concern.

Remember .. this is your God-Doctor! Our Savior!! you know .. the one advising Trump's response?

Saint Fauci and Lord Gates will save us!!


right..

Everyone would have been saving their portfolios instead of the few, if accurate information had been known by all.

..the words: ‘President’s Intelligence’ paired

Nope...they were instructed to voluntarily quarantine themselves, I suppose you and the right wing know they all complied?

This thread continues to get either funnier or sadder or a combination of both as you look at it.

The POTUS gets briefings from lots of groups daily and now they are pinning on him that some Intelligence "chatter" may have discussed the "possible" outcomes of the Wuhan Virus. While other organizations were discussing the probabilities at the time of this not being a major issue.

Trump stuck with his direct advisors at the time.

But what's also funny in the use of the Intelligence community's assessment of the situation is that this same Intelligence community reported on all the "chatter" that gave credibility to the WMDs in Iraq discussion and was widely panned by the left at the time because the POTUS at the time took it seriously.

Now today the left claims that same community should have been taken without question since it fits a hindsight is 20/20 narrative.

The same continues to be true of any and all decisions made based on credible suggestions by the medical experts. Fauci and Birx get lionized by the left when they say something that fits their narrative, but totally ignore the fact that Trump has listened to them at almost every turn when they were also wrong.

The left continues to blame Trump for everything, then when presented with discussion of others to blame, pretend it shouldn't be about blame.

The hypocrisy is palpable.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of the lead White House Coronavirus Task Force members, is on record telling Newsmax in January that the coronavirus was “not a major threat.”

"This is not a major threat…"
WATCH ��: Dr. Anthony Fauci's original thoughts about the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak are revisited from a January interview with Newsmax TV's @gregkellyusa. pic.twitter.com/0KmHxxkeBp

“This is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States should be worried about right now,” Dr. Fauci told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on January 21.


Dr. Fauci has backtracked on his original message. He now says the U.S. has yet to receive the worst of the COVID-19 outbreak. He has even encouraged a national shutdown after telling NBC in late February that Americans should go about their normal lifestyles.


Dr. Fauci has been the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, serving under every U.S. President since Ronald Reagan.


you spend countless cycles here bloviating about Trump ignoring so-called "experts" like Fauci yet won't say one word about his involvement in this farce. when Trump issued the travel ban just days after Fauci the fraud told Congress it wasn't a big deal. i'll bet yous $100 Fauci the fraud said it wasn't needed ...

It’s going to be a tuff job for the Biden collation to pull the the country from the burning debris created by the great leader. But as the great leader often remarks” we’ll see what happens “
