Axios: Trump intends to challenge COVID-19 death count, accuse hospitals of lying

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Axios is now reporting that Trump will soon dive deeply into even worse behavior than he is currently wallowing in, and that the pile of excrement posing as president will soon argue that the people dying of COVID-19 are actually now dying of something else.

"A senior administration official said he expects the president to begin publicly questioning the death toll as it closes in on his predictions for the final death count and damages him politically," Axios reports.

An alleged argument, says the outlet, will be that because because Medicare is giving money-losing hospitals a 20% bonus for treating each COVID-19 patient, there is a "distorted financial incentive" for hospitals to claim their patients are dying of the pandemic.

So we can prepare for that, no doubt. Trump and his team of fascist, corrupt incompetents are contemplating how boldly they can publicly argue that America's medical personnel are faking COVID-19 deaths to cheat his government out of money. And it is quite possibly the worst and most unforgivable claim this team of grifting bone-spur-having cowards has yet come up with, whether they say it publicly or chicken out, continuing to merely grouse to each other about it behind the scenes, and there is very little else that can be said about that without saying something we all might at some point regret.

There is absolutely no evidence for a claim that hospitals are faking pandemic deaths. None. Zero. It is insane, psychopathic bullshit spewed by a decompensating narcissist so wounded that a worldwide pandemic is not bowing to his fantasy wishes and simply evaporating that he instead will be arguing that the pandemic itself is in large part a hoax against him, his tiny hands, his puffy spray-painted face, and his own grand reality-bending majesty.

1. Well, he knows that hospital execs like Senator Rick Scott lie about this stuff

In order to defraud a Medicare and Medicaid. That’s why Scott’s company was fined $1.7 Billion for defrauding them.

you just knew when the nightmare spun out of control,this was his game plan.

3. Everyone getting the pattern developing from these alternate reality types?

We've been living in their rabbit hole for decades. And now we see how they're doing it. They lie about everything and defame and destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Jesus. How didn't we see it so clearly before?

4. I wish we could have the election June 1.

I'm sick of his bullshit.

5. "Flailing" seems to be a good word to describe his behavior

He’s thisclose to throwing himself on the floor and pounding his tiny fists. In public, I mean. I’m pretty sure it’s happening as we speak, in between rage-watching TV and eating hamberders.

6. Fact is, the hospitals are probably under-reporting.

Due to testing issues.

7. And then his low poll numbers will tank even more.
