WATCH:

Twitter broke down.

Wilful ignorance or diabolical strategy?

Some wonder if Trump’s “reckless” response is actually achieving the exact outcome he wanted.

He is not willfully ignorant. He is diabolically strategic. He thrives in chaos. He has enablers and enemies. No third kind.

5% of the world’s population, 25% of the world’s Covid cases.
5% of the population, 25% of the world’s incarcerated people.
See a pattern here?

You can’t con a virus

There is no dealmaking with disease.

Trump has been able to con his way through life. But his bafflegab, and word salad isn’t going to work against Covid. He can’t make it sign an NDA, he can’t threaten to sue it into silence, he cant pay it to go away. He’s screwed.

What Trump doesn’t get is the stock market is not the economy. 1% of the population has the wealth. But it’s the 99% that keep the economy going. Covid fires are raging in the south. Most people aren’t going out to spend. Trump can’t con the virus. And can’t con the public.

if we’re rating his failure 🤷‍♂️

I’d rate him at -10 in everything he does.

He did not realize that “10 being the worst “ He rated himself 10 🤣🤣🤣

“We have tremendous numbers of cases”- as if that’s a good thing!!!

If the President is so proud of his 10/10 response, why is he doing this:

"The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and, beginning on Wednesday, send all coronavirus patient information to a central database in Washington…" https://t.co/XNLtJXU6D3

So data will now be compiled and distributed from the White House instead of the CDC. How much more corrupt can they get? Just a coincidence that yesterday’s charts looked bleak as hell. pic.twitter.com/Pvj5JbKS4j
