Trump lies that it is Biden -- not him -- who has ignored science about COVID-19

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/trump-lies-that-it-is-biden-not-him-who-has-ignored-science-about-19/


President Donald Trump tried to attack former Vice President for “ignoring scientific evidence” about the coronavirus during the pandemic. It’s an ironic lie given the president once championed injecting disinfectant and shoving a UV light inside one’s body to fight the virus.

“At every turn, Biden has been wrong about the virus – ignoring the scientific evidence,” said Trump.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale called it false.




Trump then said that Biden is “playing politics” by turning the virus into a campaign talking point. It’s one of the major reasons that Trump has fallen in the polls, so it’s not shocking that Trump is begging for Democrats to stop talking about the failures of his leadership on the coronavirus.

Trump also attacked Biden for not coming out of his basement, something he does almost daily. He took it even further in Thursday’s briefing by saying that Biden would lock other Americans in their basements too. It’s unclear what Trump thinks Biden will do to people who don’t have basements, he didn’t comment.

Always, always, ALLWAYS!!!, accuse your opposition of the crimes you are guilty of.

Trump does this without fail, over and over and over and over and over and over.
It doesn't matter if it makes any sense or not, he will say it because it's what he does.
It's a mechanical response with him. He uses it on everybody for everything.
And he has mountains of material to use.

Whenever you hear him accuse someone of something look a little closer and you'll always see it has nothing to do with the accused and everything to do with Trump.

unknown to some, and then give an explanation as to what projection is and why Trump continues to use it for his perceived benefit/advantage.
