Oh brother, trump has jumped off the "media twisted his words" defense to "I was being sarcastic" defense. How's that make you feel trump defenders? Since the video and transcripts came its impossible for his to blame the media... but isn't it worst hat a president is standing before the American people and being "sarcastic" about a global pandemic that has killed over 50,000 Americans?
It isn't a lot of people. But I think for a few this has revealed that truly the emperor has no clothes. Just a few.
If we step back and think about this, big picture, it is actually pretty difficult to f—— things up this badly. America has a long history of rallying, coming together and backing the President during or after a national crisis. 9/11 attacks, Iraq, Afghanistan and so on. All Trump had to do was to let Pence and the Covid task force go to work, All trump had todo was to not say stupid things. All he had to do was to say things aren’t perfect, we’re doing the best we can, and America rally together. But he couldn’t stop lying. Couldn’t stop attacking. Couldn’t stop being devisive. Couldn’t stop saying completely idiotic things. Because Trump has to have the limelight. He has to be adored and praised as the almighty and all seeing. Let’s step back and realize — somehow, someway, trump has done the impossible. He has single handedly prevented the country from uniting as it has done in response to every single national crisis.
Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed it's mainly the ultra hardcore idiocrats and white genocide crowd coming to Trump's defense. I don't know if it's a sign of the tide turning or simply those groups being more vocal.
The leader of the most prominent group in the US peddling potentially lethal industrial bleach as a “miracle cure” for coronavirus wrote to Donald Trump at the White House this week. In his letter, Mark Grenon told Trump that chlorine dioxide – a powerful bleach used in industrial processes such as textile manufacturing that can have fatal side-effects when drunk – is “a wonderful detox that can kill 99% of the pathogens in the body”. He added that it “can rid the body of Covid-19”. A few days after Grenon dispatched his letter, Trump went on national TV at his daily coronavirus briefing at the White House on Thursday and promoted the idea that disinfectant could be used as a treatment for the virus. To the astonishment of medical experts, the US president said that disinfectant “knocks it out in a minute. One minute!” He went on to say: “Is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that.” ... Grenon styles himself as “archbishop” of Genesis II – a Florida-based outfit that claims to be a church but which in fact is the largest producer and distributor of chlorine dioxide bleach as a “miracle cure” in the US. He brands the chemical as MMS, “miracle mineral solution”, and claims fraudulently that it can cure 99% of all illnesses including cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids as well as autism. Since the start of the pandemic, Genesis II has been marketing MMS as a cure to coronavirus. It advises users, including children, to mix three to six drops of bleach in water and drink it. In his weekly televised radio show, posted online on Sunday, Grenon read out the letter he wrote to Trump. He said it began: “Dear Mr President, I am praying you read this letter and intervene.” Grenon said that 30 of his supporters have also written in the past few days to Trump at the White House urging him to take action to protect Genesis II in its bleach-peddling activities which they claim can cure coronavirus. On Friday, hours after Trump talked about disinfectant on live TV, Grenon went further in a post on his Facebook page. He claimed that MMS had actually been sent to the White House. He wrote: “Trump has got the MMS and all the info!!! Things are happening folks! Lord help others to see the Truth!” more at the link: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...eddling-bleach-cure-lobbied-trump-coronavirus
