Lying to people to keep people "calm" will be the go to talking point used by President Bleach and his sycophants in the coming days, even today. Chump apparently had no confidence the American people could handle this information and not panic, classic projection actually. Here is a small anecdote from my life about giving information and keeping calm.
When I was a teenager I worked at a major public venue. This venue was attended by thousands of people, including families. One day we had an event that caused us to close the venue very early in the day. The decision was made to let people know what was happening (gas leak) and exactly why we were doing it. I remember quite clearly that people, even those with small children, took in the information and proceeded to the exits without panic or screaming. All they needed was the information. People acted responsibly and with caring to all.
No panic. Responsible behavior by all.
President Bleach never gave the American people the chance.
Disgrace.

(7,754 posts)don't forget Trump had nowhere to go...he had unilaterally dismantled the pandemic safeguards Obama put in place...he couldn't scream fire but because the sonofabitch defunded the fire department, emptied the pumping stations, and gave the hoses to Russia (figuratively speaking)...this is all on Trump...

He's just trying to keep everyone calm.
