This FAKE goody-two-shoes act by 45 makes me want to absolutely spew. Nearly 150,000 dead, 4,000,000+ cases of COVID in the U.S. alone. And NOW he acts like hes everyones protector-daddy. Anyone with a brain, i.e., NOT 45s supporters, knows this feeble gambit is on display ONLY because his poll numbers are tanking fast.
From todays New York Times:
The presidents advisers have urged him to treat the virus as if he were a governor overseeing the threat of a hurricane offering gravitas and taking the situation seriously, but assuring voters that the storm will pass.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Flaming Asshole.

[Trump said] I looked at my team and I said the timing for this event is not right just not right with whats happened recently, Trump claimed. The flare-up in Florida to have a big convention is not the right time. Its really something that for me I have to protect the American people. Thats what Ive always done. Thats what I always will do. Thats what Im about."
