Quick retribution.

"We've been muzzled," a current CDC official told the network. "What's tough is that if we would have acted earlier on what we knew and recommended, we would have saved lives and money."

1. He's toast. The truth is trump's kryptonite.

2. Poor trump. The buck never stops with him.

It’s always someone else’s fault

The CDC
W.H.O.
China
Obama
The governors

Eventually he’s gonna run out of fingers and directions to point and say look over there!

And tomorrow we will pass 95,000 dead and things aren’t getting better for either the economy or the coronavirus.

3. He may have gotten the kiss of death today

Trump said he supported him.
He often says that about 2 days before he fires someone for being a loser.

But we should vote for him again because he only hires the best people.

4. Doctor Redfield was a right-wing activist appointed

To serve in the Trump administration. Unlike, say, C Everett Koop, he lacked competence. I shed no tears for him.

5. Redfield is a MAGAT

I sat in shock watching him during a visit he had with Trumpass as he laughed and giggled at the trumpasses ugly comments.

I have no sympathy.

I do however feel a sadness of such a great institution degrade in the way it has.
