(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Whoopi Goldberg is spreading a new conspiracy theory about President Donald Trump and the coronavirus. Goldberg said that Trump knows the coronavirus is coming to America and will be apocalyptic. She claimed he’s so scared of the impact that he put Vice-President Mike Pence in charge, so he would not get blamed. Poor Whoopi’s new conspiracy theory was quickly exposed ,and she was made to regret it. You’ll love this.
When the coronavirus started to become an issue in China, immediately it was President Trump who took action. The president implemented a travel ban on the affected countries which the Democrats called “racist.” In fact, Trump implemented a whole slew of emergency measures, but don’t tell that to Whoopi Goldberg and her cohosts on The View.
The Trump-hating shrews were eagerly spreading lies about the Trump administration’s response while ratcheting up panic.
“Whenever [Trump] wants to look like he is doing something really good, he will do something and then put somebody else in charge of it when he knows there’s a cliff coming,” Whoopi said. “And so I think he’s, I’m sorry, I think he’s setting [Pence] up!”
Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin erupted in laughter. It’s so funny to them.
“Because listen,” Whoopi added. “You know [Trump] knows we don’t have the information that we need. We’re not getting all the information that we need. And the people who are in charge who have this information do not have it. That’s why when the senators from both sides of the aisle questioned the head of the CDC, oh I could be wrong on that.”
“If people are saying we don’t have to worry about it — it’s just the flu — it’s a little more complicated than that and I think you can’t do this to people. We need to put people in charge who know what to do,” Goldberg declared.
Megyn McCain also arrogantly trashed the president’s response.
“President of Japan is saying no children are allowed to go to school any more that they are going to be quarantined…cause this is so dangerous in Japan,” McCain said. “But here we are being told ‘hey just wash your hands it’s going to be fine’ — Japan is a first world giant country. I don’t understand how other first world countries are handling this. I’m very worried.”

Goldberg and McCain aren’t the brightest bulbs. They are fueled by their own disease called Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Barack Obama and every other modern president have used their vice-president to head up important issues. The former president appointed his vice-president, Joe Biden, to oversee infrastructure spending aimed at counteracting the Great Recession of 2008.
No one can forget he also appointed Biden to oversee Ukraine’s foreign policy. So, it makes sense for Trump to appoint Mike Pence to oversee the coronavirus response. Vice-presidents mostly sit around with not a lot to do. This doesn’t mean Pence must have great knowledge of epidemiology. He is the guy who is coordinating their activity and reporting back to the president.
Megyn McCain sounded like an idiot. Japan’s response is subject to its close proximity to China (it’s just a three-hour flight) and the fact they detected the virus throughout their communities. In Japan, they have many people carrying the virus, but they are asymptomatic.
Goldberg’s lies are countered with the truth.
Last month, when the coronavirus first started making headlines worldwide, it was President Trump who had preparations in place and who began implementing emergency measures, despite the Democrats claiming he was “over-reacting.”
- In 2018 Trump established a National Biodefense Strategy specifically to improve the speed of action for any biological risk to U.S. Citizens.
- Following the initial reports from China; and anticipating multiple agency aspects of the U.S. government would need a unified command structure; on January 30 President Trump assembled a unified task force to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
- The task force is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.
- On January 30 President Trump signed a presidential proclamation, using his authority pursuant to Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, temporarily suspending the entry into the United States of foreign nationals.
-
The travel restrictions were targeted toward those who would most likely pose a risk of transmitting the 2019 novel coronavirus.
- Immediately following the travel restrictions, January 30 HHS Secretary Alex Azar declared a nationwide public health emergency.
Then, on February 2, way before the Democrats or Whoopi Goldberg had even thought about the virus coming to America, Trump had the U.S government implement temporary measures to increase the detection and containment of the coronavirus proactively.
Trump’s travel ban targeted any U.S. citizens returning to the United States who was in Hubei Province in the previous 14 days was/is subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine. Right away, the Democrats and their media cohorts claimed the president’s new travel ban was “racist.”
The president disregarded their ridiculous claims and went ahead with tighter restrictions: All foreign nationals, other than U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who traveled in China within the prior 14 days were denied entry into the United States. The temporary entry ban continues through today.
Now, all Americans need to know the truth. It was President Trump’s proactive measures that saved this country from a widespread outbreak. And anyone who is telling you something different, like Whoopi and her crew, are ignorant fools who should be thanking the Commander in Chief that the only disease they are suffering from is Trump Derangement Syndrome. The truth could set them free.
