Let's put into perspective what we have witnessed the past 3 months.

Trump tried to cover up something that cannot be covered up, a pandemic. It is fair to say that is insane. This allowed the virus to spread throughout the country.

Trump, his task force, told us there would be 60,000 deaths by August. We reached 60,000 deaths in April.

Trump has told us there will be a miracle treatment , vaccine quickly. Now we have a drug maker saying they have a drug they want approved now. Trump is pushing the FDA to break the rules in order to approve drug treatments or vaccine. What could possibly go wrong?

Trump and his task force put in place a (guidance?) on how to reopen the economy. Republican governor puppets are not following the guidelines. They are opening things up their way. They are forcing people back to work. Every serious expert says that will spread the virus.

Trump has told everyone the economy is going to come back fast, very strongly by the 3rd, 4th quarter. Anyone who has a brain that has not been twisted into a knot by propaganda, gaslighting, knows that seems very unlikely.

So, Trump has tried to cover up a pandemic. He is misleading the American people about the economic reality we are all facing. He is pushing his puppets to reopen too quickly and his is pushing to have drug treatments and vaccines approved before they can be tested properly.

To me , this looks like a perfect strategy to lose the election and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans in the process. No wonder I have been drinking more lately.
