President Donald Trump touted his coronavirus response in a Wednesday morning tweet.

He praised himself for implementing a ban on travel between the U.S. and China “long before anybody thought necessary!”

Trump ripped the “Radical Left Lamestream Media” and the “Do Nothing Democrats” for “trying to spread a new narrative that President Trump was slow in reacting to Covid 19.”

“Wrong, I was very fast,” Trump tweeted.

There have several reports that Trump was briefed about the coronavirus and its threat to the U.S. before any mitigation measures were put into place.
