Lies, Damn Lies, And The MSM: TRUMP SAID EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL Edition
He didn't say that.
What he said wasn't quite right--what was it again? That we have "tremendous" control over the course of the pandemic?
Not exactly true, I'd say...but a far cry from "everything is under control." One could say that we have...what?...Let's say: a shit-ton...of control over it. Suppose we all did what we've been asked to do--not super-human-ly...but just regular-ly. We could beat this fucker and no doubt if we all did what we've been asked to. We're going to beat it anyway, despite many of us not doing what we ought to do. Is that tremendous control? Well, I'm not actually sure. There are no clear lines nor testable claims here. But I guess I'd argue that it's within the bounds of leaderly hyperbole to say that. I'd rather that than the Progressive-Media Complex's WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE TRUMP. Those fuckers are actually taking the side of the virus against humanity... Well...that's not true. BUT YOU SEE THE POINT.
Again, I wish we had Obama's clarity and demeanor...and Trump's policies, honestly. Maybe Obama would have cut off travel from China, and done so just as quickly...he's far more reasonable than today's progressives. But we know Trump would. Because he did. Still, Obama would do a much, much, much better job at the podium. And that matters. And not merely rhetorically. Of course the press wouldn't be trying to shred him at every turn... And that would make his job a lot, lot easier.
