1. I'd like to say there's no way anybody in government possibly proffered such hare-brained advice ...

But ... since he's surrounded himself with f**king sycophants and idiots ... he actually MIGHT not be 100% full of shit, per usual.

3. Yeah, well he tried that for almost 2 months, didn't he?

He rode that pony like a Broadway cowboy and tried to put business interests over sick people. He fell off and people are still dying.

5. He's full of it!

I don't believe anyone told him to "ride like a cowboy". He made that shit up on the fly, and even if some idiot in his administration Had said something that blatantly fool-hardy, he should have fired the moron. He is full of shit.

6. What kind of mind could even formulate that statement?

The moment he jumped the shark.

8. Trump: "Ride it, Baby! Ride it like a cowboy!

You know he has said that...that's where that came from.

10. Let's Do A Thought Experiment

Pretend that someone actually gave that advice. Who would the advisor be? I know, I know that means DOLTUS told a truth. That's why it's an experiment!
My money goes on Wilbur Ross.

12. Jared has advised him that cv-19 is being overhyped & is really a PR problem, so I could see him

offering such advice, though not in those words.

13. My mind went here.

14. Both of You Had Good Thoughts

It's a thought experiment so there's no right answer. That's what makes it fun.
