Same old lies --
March 17th: “Trump changes his tone, gets real on the coronavirus threat”
July 21st: "The president is displaying a new tone and a new level of engagement, after aides and allies have pleaded with him to recognize the gravity of the moment" pic.twitter.com/2VLDGPfD8w— Matt O'Brien (@ObsoleteDogma) July 21, 2020

Reminded that he repeatedly said the virus would just disappear, Trump says, "The virus will disappear. It will disappear."
Again, extremely dishonest -- and, as usual, unwilling to stick to his New Trump scripted tone.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) July 21, 2020

The stupid media response, one we've heard over and over is, “Trump has changed his tone.” FFS, he hasn't changed his tone, he's not finally “presidential” and he's not taking the reins to lead the nation. He's being pressured by staff and his campaign committee to pretend that he believes that the virus is real and to acknowledge that people are dying from it, just so he has a prayer for being re-elected.
ReplyDeleteThis crap from news media has to stop. Spinning a poorly-read speech in another faux news conference is not changing tone. It's an example of desperation, not leadership. Stop building Trump up and pretending that he's capable of doing the right thing.
donnah -- Reminds us of Lucy and the football, fooling Charlie Brown into thinking she won't pull the football away at the last moment.
