There will have to massive numbers of deaths for it to sink in with the christofascists.

This is still, in his narcissistic mind, an ordinary flu bug to be brushed aside as the usual.

The cure is for him to either drop dead tomorrow or vote him out in Nov. This is for his stupid cult and they will believe it, conveniently forgetting that less than a week ago a report was found from the W House preparing for this to continue for 18 months.

and non essential businesses close to stop the spread, worse than the virus? I am guessing that is what he is going for. Wanting people to go back to what they were doing to get businesses running again?

He wants the economy to start moving again, and if people die, so be it. The "cure" (social distancing) is hurting the economy. That, Trump suggests, may be worse than the disease itself.

Mon Mar 23, 2020, 12:38 AM
Mar 2020

but is no longer used in the U.S. because it has caused fatalities.

I'm not sure he could even get approval from the FDA to use it.

He's grasping at straws, like he always does when he is talking
about something he is clueless about. Creates the illusion that
he is actually doing something about the crisis besides trying to
conceal the facts.

HE LOVES THE CAP LOCK AND EXCLAMATION POINT THOUGH !!!!!!!!

It will be the bodies that get him out of office, but human life means so little to him what he fears will harm him is a plunging stock market and rising joblessness.

.If he says everyone should go back to work than it’s not his fault the economy tanks. He’ll blame the Govs for not lifting shelter in place laws.
