It’s time once again from another Coronavirus Task Force update aka mini-rally.
The Blenders own Steve Wood wrote a sentence today as he described the Abject Failure of President Trump aka President Impeached, that really stuck in my head, “Every time I watch one of Trump’s press conferences concerning the coronavirus pandemic, I get more and more incensed.”
It’s true.
I find myself struggling to watch them. Listening to President Impeached attempt to re-write history in real time, is amazingly frustrating.
At Tuesday’s mini-rally Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx aka Vanna White, tried to explain that the death toll from the coronavirus could be high over the next two weeks, estimating that between 100,000 to 240,000 people could die. They did both attempt to explain that we follow rules, guidelines, we might lessen the number.
I say tried because President Impeached as always hijacked the event by turning an information session, into a patting himself on the back session, as he normally does during rallies.
"What would've happened if we did nothing? Because there was a group that said, 'let's just ride it out.' … 2.2 million people would've died" — here's Trump laying the groundwork to claim up to 200,000 American deaths as a victory on the campaign trail this year pic.twitter.com/zlTFxiqIT6

"I'm sure people are enjoying it. I will say this: It's an incredibly dark topic, an incredibly horrible topic, and it's incredibly interesting. That's why everybody is going crazy, they're going crazy, they can't get enough of it" — Trump 😳 pic.twitter.com/xR1A4F2Vhy

Trump concludes the more than two-hour-long press briefing by reassuring us that if there's a scarcity of ventilators, he'll be involved in making life or death decisions about which states get them pic.twitter.com/Wzv0N8HV9T

The mini-rally from Tuesday, lasted over two-hours.
For today’s I believe he’ll be asked to explain what he can say regarding the threat he made via Twitter to Iran.
Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq. If this happens, Iran will pay a very heavy price, indeed!
