Rick Wilson: "MAN, the energy Trump's agitprop machine is putting into 'China Virus' is astounding"

MAN, the energy Trump's agitprop machine is putting into "China Virus" is astounding. This is a Bannon/Miller joint, folks.

Stop taking the bait, and get back on Trump's incompetence and malfeasance.

Play smart.






Since he was/is a Republican attack dog/PR consultant, maybe he's onto something ?

1. Two goals from Trumpland, I think.

One is to distract from Trump's incompetence/negligence and get people arguing about racism instead.

Two is to generate (and make stick) a nickname for this pandemic, amongst half the country anyway, that doesn't include the word "Trump."

down mentality. They are truly enemies of our democracy. Ingraham even did the Nazi salute at the GOP convention in Cleveland. Such a charming $#(@. 30 years for Limbaugh.

Red for Republican, Gray for Confederate. He took all 50 states then.

Even while losing by 3 million votes.

Other's have posted this, and am just copying what I found.

Please cross-post this video as far and wide as you can on social media. And please refer to it as The Trump Virus, or words to that effect, to remember the "man" that allowed this to spread unchecked in our country.

Trump is trying to spin this as if he is a "war president" and our savior. WE CANNOT LET HIM DO THIS.

Hopefully, the Ds and Mike Bloomberg will keep putting this out, but let's do what we can!

who has a PhD and is in every other way one of my favorite people, said to me today, "China has to pay."

I told him I think you're pushing a conspiracy theory i don't agree with. So he let it go basically but still came back to it and said China did not report it soon enough at the very least. which i think is true. for some of the same reasons trump downplayed it, refused to address it in a practical matter, and lied for the first 2 months after he did know about it.

he watches fox. it is clearly where he gets his news. again, a great guy, with an excellent education. he's smart. or maybe it would be more accurate to say he used to be smart.

fuck fox news. fuck trump.
