Ahem. Your hero the Great Fauchino actually did "downplay" the virus a whole month later
He went on The Today Show on March 13 to tell America to keep on with our normal lives. So, if by February Trump supposedly knew how bad this was, why was your hero saying it wasn't a whole month later?
But you've got another problem here with your narrative. Aside from the irony of you believing what Trump says in this case (undoubtedly solely because it fits what you want to believe), your hero told Politico Trump, in fact, did not downplay the virus. So you are saying your hero is a liar.
