Are you really saying that President Trump did not initially downplay the issue? In less than a month his statements have gone from "low level" to declaring a national emergency.

Maybe we're just talking about alternative facts... Are those admissible in the courtroom
What is untrue about that statement? On February 26th, it was at a low level. He was going by the information he had at the time. Give the guy a break. Any of us would have postured the situation the same way. Maybe he should have let 1500 Americans die before doing anything? That would have been much better.
