Amid Covid Crisis, Larry Kudlow Says There Is No Covid Crisis ‘Thanks to Trump’

Fox Business host Larry Kudlow appeared on The Ingraham Angle Friday to break the news that there is no crisis when it comes to Covid-19. As Donald Trump’s head of the National Economic Council in February 2020, Kudlow said of the growing viral outbreak, “We have contained this. I won’t say airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight.”

Two weeks later, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic. More than 580,000 Americans have died of Covid-19 so far.

Kudlow told Laura Ingraham that despite Republican criticism of Friday’s much weaker than expected jobs report, the economy is still in decent shape because it’s still Trump’s economy and that Biden’s policies have yet to fully take effect.

President Trump’s administration – Operation Warp Speed – created the vaccines and got it out with the distribution plan and now businesses [are] opening and we are now recovering strongly. My point is this. Biden can blame whoever he wants to blame. The public sees right through it. It’s phony baloney. There is no crisis. There is no healthcare crisis. Thanks to Trump, there is no Covid crisis. Thanks to Trump, we have low taxes and regulations. There is no house on fire. The economy is not crashing. Global warming is not an existential threat.

As of this writing, over 600 Americans have died of Covid-19 each day over the last seven days.

Clearly dissatisfied with Kudlow’s assessment, Ingraham asked, “But Larry, don’t you agree that if Donald Trump were still president we’d have hundreds of thousands of more Americans employed, or many millions more Americans employed because businesses wouldn’t be anticipating a lot of these taxes that are coming down the pike?”

Kudlow didn’t answer directly and instead noted he liked Trump’s policies and that there’s no crisis that could justify the trillions in spending that the Biden administration has proposed.
