Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro did not hold back in his criticisms
of President Trump's national address on coronavirus Wednesday night,
which he said was "marred by a bunch of screw-ups" that hampered the
administration's efforts to contain the outbreak.
"Whoever greenlit this bleep show should be fired," Shapiro said on "The
Ben Shapiro Show" Wednesday.
" I mean, seriously, its not entirely Trump's fault because he has
speechwriters who do this thing for him," Shapiro continued, but "it did
not steady the markets, it did not make people feel more secure."
Trump announced in his remarks Wednesday that the U.S. is suspending all
travel from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days beginning Friday at midnight in
an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.
The president said the new travel exemptions do not apply to the United
Kingdom, but failed to clarify that U.S. citizens and permanent residents
could return from Europe, forcing the administration to issue
clarifications Thursday.
"Whoever put that in the teleprompter needs to be fired forthwith."
Ben Shapiro
"If youre going to give a speech like this, you have to have everything
locked down," Shapiro said. "Youre trying to provide a sense of solidity
... that you know what youre doing. That the federal government has
thought these policies out and that they are providing serious guidance to
people."
"Look, President Trump was serious about coronavirus which was a good
thing," he continued, "but when you give a speech like this, youve got to
make sure that everything is locked down."
Shapiro further criticized Trump for suggesting that trade and cargo would
be subject to the Europe travel ban, again forcing a clarification from
the White House that only humans would be affected.
"Trump getting serious last night was a good thing even if the speech was
a bit of a screwup."
Ben Shapiro
"Mistake number two is that he announced that there would be basically
bans on the importation of European goods which would shut down the entire
global economy," Shapiro explained. "It turns out of course, that his
executive order does no such thing. It doesnt apply to trade and goods
... it applies only to humans."
Trump posted a clarification on his Twitter account Wednesday evening, but
Shapiro said someone must be held accountable for the initial confusion.

Hoping to get the payroll tax cut approved by both Republicans and
Democrats, and please remember, very important for all countries &
businesses to know that trade will in no way be affected by the 30-day
restriction on travel from Europe. The restriction stops people not goods.

"Its in the teleprompter so I'm not sure how its an accident," he said.
"Whoever put that in the teleprompter needs to be fired forthwith."
After rattling off additional descrepencies he found throughout Trump's
speech, Shapiro turned his criticism to the mainstream media for taking
issue with the president's labeling of the outbreak -- which originated in
Wuhan, China -- as a '"foreign virus."
"Trumpss speech has serious problems ... but the medias response is
overwhelmingly stupid ... like incredibly stupid," Shapiro said.

"Its good that the president is now taking this seriously because his
prior response has been insufficient and put Trump aside, the
administrations response has been quite serious."
Shapiro went on, "The administration is on top of this to the extent that
any federal administration is on top of it ... the problem has been a
disconnect for Trump getting serious. Last night was a good thing even if
the speech was a bit of a screwup," he said.
CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta said moments after the
address that Trumps remarks could be seen as smacking of xenophobia, an
indication that the media "has really gone off the rails," Shapiro said.

Jim @Acosta says it is "going to come across to a lot of Americans as
smacking of xenophobia" with regards to Trump pointing out the coronavirus
started out in Wuhan, China.

"Trump last night said, 'This is a major government response to the
foreign virus,' and this immediately lead people in the media to whine
about the fact that Trump said that the Wuhan virus is a foreign virus."
" I have a question ... why is that a big deal? " Shapiro continued. "It
is a foreign virus. Why is that a problem? Is that an element of
xenophobia? Seriously? This is what youre focused on ... that Trump
points out that another major virus comes from China and that maybe this
will have implications on U.S. policy and yet your initial takeaway is
'thats Trump being a racist against Chinese people?"
"Thats really where youre going with this?" he went on.
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to consider you a serious person if you think
that a major problem is for the President of the United States to point
out that a foreign virus is indeed a foreign virus."
Shapiro concluded, "if youre really bi---ing at this point about calling
it a foreign virus, your priorities are completely and utterly misplaced."
