Trump Takes Off the Mask
What is more shocking: the words or the images?
The words are astonishing, to be sure.
“I learned so much about coronavirus. One thing that’s for certain, don’t let it dominate you. Don’t be afraid of it. You’re going to beat it. We have the best medical equipment. We have the best medicines, all developed recently, and you’re going to beat it,” Donald Trump said last night, after returning to the White House following three days at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center battling COVID-19. “Don’t let it dominate. Don’t let it take over your lives. Don’t let that happen.”
In a tweet this morning, : “Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning: No more than 61,000 Americans have died of the flu any year in the past decade.)
