WOW! "Beau of the Fifth Column" really lays it out. . .

[DinahMoeHum]

. . .regarding Trump's admission of downplaying the COVID-19 pandemic.

"He assumed that the American people would panic. . . because HE did." "When faced with a challenge. . .HE FROZE, just like every other wannabee tough guy out there"

1. The difference is the stock markets.

Trump doesn’t mind if the people panic. In fact, he likes that. What he doesn’t like is when the markets panic. In his mind, he looks bad when the markets go down.

And why not? Profits over people—it’s the Republican way.

I served on the Antifa submarine "The Great Soros" at the Battle of Lake Travis.

I am stationed in Texas, but I didn’t actually get close to the fighting.

12. Is there any openings on "The Great Soros" or is there a full crew already?

17. There's always room on board for a good operator to shoot torpedoes at the Russian Armaga.

Misspelling in the Title line is intentional.

6. Well, Churchill did lead the British people through WWII by saying the Blitz was a hoax

A good leader certainly couldn’t keep people from panicking without lying to them and hoping the problem would go away.

7. Excellent Points! trump FROZE & LIED.

8. He "Choked"

using the term he loves to use

10. More than just a thought Beau. Truth

The guy who likes to stoke panic and fear, cannot claim he was trying to keep people from going into panic.

True words Beau, when the enemy was real, instead of the imagined ones he's been drumming up, he did nothing.

11. Excellent

13. Beau's usually pretty measured

I've watched several of his videos, and he usually tries to present a measured response. He has a point of view, to be sure, but he's often careful to lay out both sides and concede the benefit of the doubt. In this video, though, he's seething. It's right below the surface, and there's no mistaking his loathing for Trump and Trump's cowardice.

14. Trump Didn't "Downplay" Covid-45

He called it a hoax and insinuated his top experts weren't telling the truth. Indeed, Dr. Brix even lied to give Trump cover for his lies. The media need to stop giving Trump cover for his lies and euphemistically using "downplay". Trump always says what his base wants to hear and in most cases they want to hear that everything bad is actually a hoax.
