Anyone else have the sneaking suspension that Trump is about to do to the CDC what he did to the NWS

My response via a tweet!

No, I think his staff has finally reached his stinking #Trumpswamp brain. #Trump realizes he is in deep trouble --by putting #WethePeople at risk for the #coronavirus and now will play the Hero!!

14. i have a calloidal suspension in the fridge.

it doesn't do much sneaking, but i suppose if you open the fridge and are surprised to see milk there....

2. I'm betting on a Public Chastisement

He's going to go for the public humiliation route of the people he hired. It's his MO to point fingers and blame others first. I think the general consensus is that the ball has been dropped on getting out reliable information. Trump is scared of the stock market going down further. It's his favorite barometer of measuring how he's doing to his cult. This looks bad for him..

6. That too. You have elaborted my thoughts. It was reported a few days that Trump did not want

his staff to talk about this #coronavirus. Vengeance is Trumps middle name.

3. A scenario of that sort came instantly to mind

upon my first reading about it. I was trying to picture how he would use his sharpie.

5. many people have said

this virus is Adam Schiff's fault.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. He'll use a Sharpie to alter a chart so it shows there are no cases in the US.

Or something else transparently false and stupid. Mark my words.

10. Map of the country

Sharpie's a wall around it.

"See, no virus!"

Not even half joking.

11. He is going to attack the press and whine that the economy he is personally responsible for

is being tanked...lie some more, whine about the Democrat candidates, lie some more, call people some names.

you know the usual dictatorial bee ess he pulls.

22. Here is his tweet--I think it foreshadows what he will say tonight......close borders, blame Dems...

This is a man that thinks a ban or wall is the answer to everything. This is not sunday school where you can just say Jesus and get 99% of the questions correct this is the real word germs can float over walls and fly into your home

12. I suspect that his focus will be on himself

Would not be surprised if he demanded that any cdc or other “experts” he has on his show will be scripted to minimize the potential dire reality that this poses...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. When is it not?

[moondust]

16. Never fear.

The imPOTUS knows more than the doctors.

He's just too modest to say it out loud.

[duforsure]

18. Yes,

Then demand they lie to the American people like he's doing ,and if they don't he'll replace them with someone who will lie for him. He's desperately trying to hide the truth, and spin it to make him look good instead of exposing his failing reductions and firings . Trumps a serial liar so don't count on the truth out of his mouth.

19. Trump used an article from a RIGHT WING NEWS SITE to lie that a vaccine was almost ready....

As coronavirus outbreak continues, Trump fails to inspire confidence


Feb. 25, 2020, 9:50 AM CST By Steve Benen

About a month ago, for reasons that were far from clear, Donald Trump promoted a curious report about the coronavirus. Pointing to an article on a right-wing website, the president signaled to the public that Johnson & Johnson was in the process of creating a coronavirus vaccine.

And while that certainly sounded encouraging, it wasn't quite right. While Johnson & Johnson is one of several companies that are working on a possible vaccine, human trials are nowhere close.

This morning, Trump told reporters in India, "[W]e are very close to a vaccine," only to have White House officials clarify soon after that he wasn't talking about the coronavirus. At the same press conference, Trump insisted that the United States is "probably" down to 10 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, which was also wrong. (Just last week, the Trump administration brought 14 coronavirus-infected Americans to U.S. soil, despite objections from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)

It's against this backdrop that Vox's Matt Yglesias noted that this seems like a good time to question Team Trump's competence when it comes to dealing with the virus outbreak...................

Trump and his team have confronted years of questions about their competence. Occasionally, those concerns are especially acute.

um... I am thinking that trump knows he is in deep poop.


And as we've seen with Sharpie-gate, there will be intense pressure within the bureaucracy to bring their assessments in line with Trump's public remarks, rather than vice-versa. The rhetoric will override the science.
