During a press conference addressing the growing coronavirus outbreak this Monday, President Trump tried to stress to a room full of reporters that the outbreak was so unexpected that no one knew about it a month ago.


"We have an invisible enemy. We have a problem a month ago nobody ever thought about," Trump said. "It's just so contagious -- sort of record-setting type contagion."

But as POLITICO's Dan Diamond points out, it's now almost two months to the day that Trump was warned about the impending pandemic.

"In presser, Trump says 'we have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about,'" Diamond wrote. "Trump was first briefed about coronavirus threat almost exactly two months ago today."
