"SNIP......

“President Trump on Friday night tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term, lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation,” Politico reports.

Said Trump: “The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes. One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That did not work out too well. They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax.”

Then Trump called the coronavirus “their new hoax.”

The Los Angeles Times quotes Trump: “So far we have lost nobody to coronavirus in the United States. We are totally prepared.”

7. THIS

is the truth

8. I think Trump has taken a gamble on this strategy

The gamble is this: obviously there will be some cases in the USA, but he thinks that the number of serious cases will be small enough to be treated, and the number of deaths can be attributed (by his administration) to something else. If a hundred thousand Americans die of it in the month AFTER the November election, what does he care? Win or lose, it's no skin off of his back.

10. Wouldn't it be karmic justice if he came down w/ the coronavirus and it took him out?

I mean, it would be such a perfect ending to this nightmare.
