Johns been filling in for Nicole Wallace.
He just showed calendars of February and March. Each square is filled in with videos of Trump saying the Coronavirus was a Democratic hoax and a fraud and he had it all under control, until we get to the present I knew this was a pandemic all along and Im kind of like a wartime president. You can clearly see the evolution of lies and bullshit.
God, would I love to see this turned into a campaign commercial.

Unfortunately I think most of us look at the ones that have already garnered a lot of eyeballs. Maybe not the ones that really need watching.

I go to DU once or twice a day to see what's happening. Between 10AM and 8PM a lot of shite comes down and I drown....
Thanks, malaise, for always being a pretty steady voice in all of this.

(8,090 posts)I was wondering the same thing earlier today and figured they're waiting until a (factual) attack ad like that would have the greatest impact.
wnylib
(21,498 posts)if done now. We are in crisis and everyone needs to work together. It would be perceived as divisive and would feed right into the belief that Derms criticize Trump's handling of the crisis solely for political reasons and not for his genuine failings.
Trump's turnaround now is not, of course, a sincere recognition of the seriousness of the situation, or a real desire to help the American people. It is purely for image projection. He sees how the governors are outshining him in their performance and how seriously they are handling it. He does not want to be outdone by them.
The public sees his turnaround as a hopeful sign. He is spouting his usual BS con crap, but calling him on it now in political ads would look like a refusal of his cooperation. It would backfire on us.
Those exposure ads will have to wait until later. He is still playacting and projecting an image, and that will be clear soon enough.

I thought both were a major disgrace to America and how to treat a dedicated public servant and war hero.
CaptYossarian
(6,448 posts)Now that you mentioned Kerry, the memory got clearer.
MyOwnPeace
(16,928 posts)they would take "flip-flops" and smack them together because they claimed Kerry had "flip-flopped" on is support of a war, whether it was Viet-Nam or Iraq, I'm not sure. I was SO disgusted with their show, especially, as you said, "W" had a cushy Air National Guard gig and some believe that he had been drummed out of it.
Hey, maybe drums at Kerry rallies would have been good!
And speaking of "flip-flops" - lord knows we're seeing major ones this week with both IQ45 ("It's gonna' be gone in a week" - "I KNEW it was a pandemic" ), and, of course, his enablers in the RepubliCON(victs) party.

(9,670 posts)The only thing that matters is that his psychophants engage their cognitive dissonance and forget about the hoaxy spinny thing.
And to their discredit: many of them are still of the opinion that this is a big nothingburger aimed at their godling and a total media creation. I know. Several told me as much today.

SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)Trump, trying to say that he knew this was a pandemic all along, and patting himself on the back for being so pro-active about this whole thing is one of the biggest lies he's told. Of course there are ten thousand or so lies to choose from, so that's a bold claim on my part.

Fuck ruling - that's what kings and authoritarians do.
I am from the fucking government, I actually want to help (Not sure if I said fuck quite enough).
To be perfectly clear, I like the government (less the repiggies, of course). Our government is for us, formed by us, and serves us.
I would love to see our government actually serving us. November 3rd, 2020.

(11,087 posts)Think how bad it will look sometime in April when we pass the 1 million mark. We will have around 20,000 dead by then.
And it will just keep going.
At the rate of increase we're seeing, we will pass Italy and then pass China for number of confirmed cases.
Finally, FINALLY, Trump will make us Number One in something.

(13,043 posts)what a crock and what gross failure of leadership. This hideous man has no idea how to govern & is eminently inept for such a lofty and demanding position. This viral spread's lack of handling is the result of an failed administration full of science deniers whose decimated the ability of the nation to deal with a pandemic.

Catch2.2
(629 posts)The Dems need help when it comes to campaigning etc. Unfortunately the Dems will most likely let Trump & the Republicans frame this pandemic and Trump will come out looking like the strong leader he can only wish he was. A little over half the population will believe his BS. The Dems need to jump on this and keep playing these clips, tweets, etc. where Trump was saying it was a hoax, that he got rid of the Pandemic Response Team, that he gutted the CDC, etc. People need to be told that Trump botched the response and that we most likely wouldn't have had to go through all this (Isolation, death, job loss, business closure, etc.)
