It took him months to acknowledge it was a problem, but no he never flatly denied it like some of the republicans::
When he was asked by CNBC in an interview that aired January 22 if there were worries about a pandemic, he responded, “No. Not at all. And – we’re – we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
On March 9, Trump tweeted, “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” On March 10, the day before the WHO’s pandemic declaration, Trump said, “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
He added: “It’s really working out. And a lot of good things are going to happen.”
