Consider who is using the term hoax and then the context, it’s completely inappropriate for the president to make this political. Look at how he continues to downplay the number of cases and the seriousness of the threat, even yesterday at a rally he claims there are only 15 cases and suggests spring right around the corner will magically make this go away. Every statement he makes is geared towards getting re-elected and under the circumstances its wrong, but it’s just Trump being Trump, always his interests come first.

Big difference between Democrats complaining about cuts to the departments we now need most and the president, his messaging during this should be clear, truthful and devoid of politics. He contradicts his own scientific experts and that mixed message is not right.

spence, i’ll tell you what. when
you answer my question ( are dips
in the stock market good
for the large number of people
who put money in every two weeks and who dont need that money soon), i’ll
answer your questions.
if the CDC laid off doctors in the “ prevent and treat large scale viruses” department, that’s bad. if the cuts mean that CDC employees have to fly to conferences in coach class instead of first class, that’s something else. i don’t know what was cut, and I’m willing to bet you don’t either, but that does t stop
you from concluding that the cuts put our lives in danger.

Spence suggested doing homework on Trump cutting CDC budget. I am not a fan of the so-called fact checkers, but . . . Snopes doesn't seem to agree with Spence. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-cut-cdc-budget/
