President Trump Says The Covid-19 Pandemic Has Hit The U.S. Harder Than The Japanese Bombing Of Pearl Harbour Or The 9/11 Attacks In 2001

Business Insider: Trump says coronavirus has been 'worse than Pearl Harbor,' describing it as an 'attack' China should've stopped 'at the source'

* President Donald Trump on Wednesday said coronavirus has been worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
* "This is really the worst attack we've ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor. This is worse than the World Trade Center. There's never been an attack like this," Trump said.
* Trump blamed China, where COVID-19 originated. "It should've never happened. It could've been stopped at the source. It could've been stopped in China," he said.
* The president has ramped up criticism of China as the coronavirus outbreak has escalated in the US, deflecting from his own failures in responding to the pandemic.
* Trump consistently downplayed the threat of coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak, while praising China and ignoring warnings from top US officials of an impending pandemic.

President Donald Trump spent weeks downplaying the threat of the novel coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak, telling Americans everything was "under control" and that the virus would "disappear" with warmer weather.

The president simultaneously ignored a slew of urgent warnings from officials across the federal government about an impending pandemic, leaving the country unprepared for a public health crisis that's killed tens of thousands of Americans and left 30 million unemployed over period of roughly two months.
