Popstar Cher once again launched a tirade against President Donald J. Trump on Thursday, unleashing a barrage of claims over his response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’ve always loathed trump 4 of his unending Character Flaws, But Now his Cowardice will KILL US.DRS WILL DIE BECAUSE DISMANTLED AGENCY FORMED 2 PROTECT US FROM PANDEMICS. WONT GIVE AMERICAN PPE, HE LET AMERICA Cos.SELL MED EQUIP.2 THE WORLD. HE KNEW & STILL DID NOTHING.FLA IS GETTING MED EQUIP,” she wrote.

It is important to note that most of Cher's claims to her millions of followers have repeatedly been debunked, Breitbart reports.

The songstress echoed left-wing claims that Trump had left the U.S. vulnerable to the coronavirus crisis after he allegedly "dismantled" the White House pandemic unit and got rid of the whole team.

This claim has been proven false, especially since Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer, the man who headed the pandemic office, left the National Security Council after John Bolton was appointed the National Security Advisor.

Bolton then proceeded to eliminate the pandemic unit. However, the Trump administration retained quite a few experts that ran the unit.

Furthermore, Dr. Fauci clarified that the experts the White House needed for the crisis were still holding their respective positions.

Cher's next allegation that the president did not do anything about stocking medical equipment is also untrue. In fact, the federal government has been repeatedly warned of a lack of preparedness for a pandemic for more than two decades.

The Bush and Obama administrations had also been warned there was a dire need for ventilators and medical supplies to prepare the nation for handling a medical emergency, like the one we are facing at the moment.

At least ten reports on the lack of America's preparedness for a medical emergency were filed by federal agencies during the Bush and Obama years. All of them cautioned the government about the risks involved due to a lack of supplies during an outbreak.

But Cher proceeded to target Trump anyway, failing to address the warnings that were ignored by both Bush and Obama.

Last month, the Strong Enough hitmaker claimed she and her mother will be "sacrificed" by President Donald J Trump as his administration looked to jump-start the US economy that has been brought to a standstill due to the pandemic.

The 73-year-old singer-actress was unhappy that Trump wanted to see Americans return to work as soon as possible. According to the Academy Award-winning star, she and her mother, Georgia Holt, 93, are simply "fodder" for the president's "inhumane grist mill."
 
"For Trump my mom & I Are Dispensable, Fodder For His InHumane Grist Mill. Well, I HAVE Worked From1965 To 2020 & Perhaps I’m beyond HIS Sell By Date. As 4 Mom..all she does is make everybody Laugh..yes we’re Obviously The Ones Who should be sacrificed. For Donald Trumps Economy," she tweeted.
 
Cher's rant came after MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed conservatives are “ready to euthanize” elderly and vulnerable Americans in order to ensure corporates continued to profit amid the pandemic.

“It is the weakest among us, it is senior citizens who they’re ready to euthanize because they want Boeing’s corporate earnings to not dip too low,” Scarborough said on March 26 episode of Morning Joe.
