The question not one journalist has asked the shithound

during the daily shitshows

Why did you go to the CDC Headquarters in your MAGA hat and tell Americans that anyone who wanted a test could get one when you knew that was not true?

From https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/09/politics/trump-biographer-grandfather-flu/index.html :

While holding a press conference on Friday in Atlanta about the current coronavirus outbreak, President Donald Trump said that he didn't know people died of the flu. His grandfather died of influenza in 1918, according to Trump biographer Gwenda Blair.

ran brothels in Canada and Alaska? If so, maybe it wasn't the "flu". Maybe it was what Al Capone died of, softening of the brain from syphylis.

the rightwing spent the rest of his two terms using it as evidence he was a liar. I wish I had a dollar for every time some Republican attack dog brought that up, even though Obama was mostly correct. There's a real double-standard when it comes to Trump's lies.

This is all a prop for his reelection campaign. That's why he's so eager to reopen the economy. He wants to get back to doing those damn MAGA rallies. Because he knows that he can't get reelected without them.

But there is a significant segment of our population that doesn't or hasn't seen that Trump doesn't care. For the people in the back, the slowcoaches, and the just plain delusional: Donald Trump doesn't care about Americans, and he will gladly consign you to your deaths because he thinks it will benefit him politically. If you're good with dying to boost Trump's insatiable ego, please try not take any of the rest of us with you.

Trump is always saying he inherited a mess because, in part, the warehouses were bare.

Ask Trump to provide the same source inventory from February 1, 2017 and February 1, 2020. It should include buth DHS and FEMA. The data is readily available. Perhaps issue a FOI request.

Let him host a open to America tv town hall. Sell it to him by saying it would be the all time highest rated television spectacular in the history of public media, print, radio, tv.

Let the public ask the questions...it would not be finished till the last question was asked.

I thought about this next condition... gotta keep him on point...no straying off topic...hook electrodes to his testicles...enuf to jolt, not cause screeching pain...that’s later. The “button pushers” would be picked by national lottery, changed every question to promote fairness.
