TRUMP tells Fox Covid will disappear.

Previously:

2/10: it will go away in April
2/26: close to 0 in couple days
3/31: it will go away, hopefully at the end of the month
4/29: it’s gonna leave
5/8: this is gonna go away w/o a vaccine
6/16: even w/o [a vaccine], it goes away

At the beginning of the pandemic, Trump said he thought the virus would simply go away on its own.

Now, after 125,000 casualties, he still says it will magically disappear.

There hasn’t been a more incompetent president since Hoover.

Or am I being unfair … to Hoover? https://t.co/oiCE1tIzM7

Feb 26: @realDonaldTrump lied when he said we had 15 cases and we're "going to be down close to zero soon"

July 2: We have 2.78 million+ cases and 130,700+ deaths

And he again said yesterday he thinks this virus will just go away on its own. Unreal.pic.twitter.com/MoFd8QiCs9
