So when did it become "The President's social distancing guidelines"

The local news just refered to Trump extendig "his" guidelines to the end of April and then some local doctor saying we need to "follow the president's guidelines for social distancing".

If Covid-19 doesn't get me, I'm going to stroke out as I watch history rewritten before my eyes.

That had a cursory mention of COVID-19 on them.

The line: "President's Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines for America"

and wrote on it:

1) Listen to Gov. Cuomo

I can't get the image to copy here, so you'll have to visualize.

Like everything else Trumplethinskin does, the fliers were probably politically addressed and you weren't in an area considered by the Trump Campaign to be strategically significant.

is his personal behavior the guidelines they are talking about? Following *the president's* guidelines is going to get you sick or killed.

Now, following guidelines which someone else in the government wrote down and distributed, which Dumbass Donald insisted on taking credit for even though he had fuck-all to do with it and never bothered to read them himself... now that might make you safer.

I flinch and then yell at the TV every time any of the toadies call it the President’s Guidelines as if he personally scribbled them out with his Sharpie. What does anybody want to bet that tRump insisted on calling it that?
