Why is this particular bullshit so important to him? Perhaps its stink is going to stick around and the stench will not be blown away by his next round of hot air. This won't be gone in the next news cycle as more people get sick and die. He has always ducked his lies and missteps by diverting the media attention to the next real or created hot topic. I don't think it will work this time.
