It's the Trump Playbook. Start by downplaying any solid, actionable intel as "fake news" cooked up and supported by the Democrats. Then when the real shit hits the fan, falsely call for bipartisanship while instantly jumping down the throats of any governor or mayor who has even the most insignificantly negative reaction to the NONreaction of the Trump administration (and thereby implying you must kiss the ring of the king to get what you want). This will then help you blame those on the front lines after a time when this subsides.
Blame game doesn't stop there, however, but continues with questioning why hospitals that normally have 2 or 3 ventilators now "all of a sudden" need 30,000. Or implying that first responders, many of whom have contracted this disease and some have already perished from it, may be sneaking masks and ventilators out the back door of the hospital supposedly to make a quick buck before they succumb.
So here's the blame list. Feel free to add to it: - Impeachment (encompassing the House and Dems in the Senate). As if he can't walk and chew gum at the same time. As if the entirety of American government was put "on hold" during the impeachment process because Trump could only devote himself to ONE thing at a time.
- The American media, except the media that agrees with everything he says and does (vociferously, I must add)
- Governors and Mayors in states and cities across the country, but most notably those who are Democrats. He'll give a "pass" and think about helping if those Dems in state power are deferential to him.
- Finally, those people on the front lines of this rapidly spreading disease who are putting their lives on the line every single second, minute, hour and day they work to SAVE LIVES because he can't understand the simple math that equates the unprecedented demand from hospitals that require ventilators for patient survival and PPE that medical personnel and first responders need TO SURVIVE as anything other than a scam happening right under our noses.
All of this to shift blame off of himself in order to justify his "reaction" as having "realized this was a pandemic before it was called a pandemic" (one of the biggest "jokes" in a litany of lies he's spewed at his "briefings") and prepping to not only blame a host of others, but claim victory as a "wartime president" for "only" having lost 100,000-200,000 American lives.
All of this, ALL OF THIS, and Trump hasn't once expressed any sort of condolence to the thousands who have already died nor to those thousands of family members and friends who are suffering in isolation because they couldn't be there at the bedside of their loved one. Not in any White House "briefing" and certainly not in any Fox News interview.
What a fucking abomination of a president, let alone a human being.
We're in the Upside Down.
