World Health Organization Official Slams Trump's Comments About Coronavirus as 'Incoherent'

World Health Organization Official Slams Trump's Comments About Coronavirus as 'Incoherent'
Fox News // MSNBC

With cases in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and North America, the coronavirus continues to spread at an alarming rate. The first case of unknown origin recently arrived in the United States, with a domestic outbreak considered by some experts to be inevitable.

Despite President Donald Trump's attempts to dismiss the threats posed by the virus in an effort to preserve the stock market he loves to tout, Trump held a news conference on Wednesday evening with officials from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Vice President.


Trump announced that Vice President Mike Pence—who has no experience in the biomedical field and oversaw a massive HIV outbreak in his home state of Indiana during his time as governor—would be leading the charge to prepare for an outbreak.

Trump also gave lengthy answers for why the virus is of little concern and how his government is more than prepared to curb its spread.

People weren't exactly assured.

One answer in particular regarding Trump's cuts to departments like the CDC gave people pause.

Trump insisted:

"We know all the people, we know all the good people."

Watch below.

When asked to respond to his officials' assessment that an outbreak in the United States was inevitable, Trump's answer wasn't assuring:

"Well, I don't think it's inevitable. It possibly will. It could be at a very small level or it could be at a larger level. Whatever happens, we're totally prepared. We have the best people in the world. You see that from the study we have the best prepared people, the best people in the world."

Even Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former health advisor to Barack Obama and current World Health Organization official, described Trump's responses as "incoherent" on MSNBC's Hardball.

Watch below.

Emanuel said:

"I found most of what he said a little incoherent. You know, [Trump's] a guy that admitted that he's surprised that 25,000 to 69,000 people each year die of the flu. That just tells you how little he actually knows about public health and about the health of the American public. He just revealed how ignorant he is about the situation. We don't know how similar or dissimilar this is to the flu. We know one thing. It is actually more communicable than the flu. It passes between people very, very easily."

He wasn't the only one startled at the unreadiness displayed by Trump in Wednesday's press conference.







People knew Trump was minimizing the pandemic to preserve the stock market, but it doesn't appear the market was listening.



A vaccine for the Coronavirus isn't expected for another year, despite Trump's claims that the U.S. is very close to achieving one.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.
