Trump's 'Caronavirus' Fantasy World Might Soon Collide With Reality
It's always nice to come out of a nails-on-the-chalkboard Democratic debate only to find the incumbent President of the United States whining and wailing about how a possible pandemic disease is some sort of conspiracy against him. Yes, the Democrats were all shouting and talking over each other, but have you seen the guy they want to replace? It seems there are some downsides to installing a pathological narcissist as the leader of your country, one being that he processes major geopolitical crises almost solely in terms of how they affect him personally. If the information coming in has to be fed through a kaleidoscope in order to shore up Donald Trump's fragile ego, then so be it.
That's how we arrived at our current state of affairs regarding the so-called coronavirus, which experts have actually labeled COVID-19. On Tuesday, a top official at the Centers for Disease Control, Nancy Messonnier, told reporters that in the United States, the coronavirus "may seem overwhelming and that disruption to everyday life may be severe." On CNBC the same day, Trump's top economic adviser—the famously right-about-everything Larry Kudlow—declared the virus "contained" in a way that's "pretty close to airtight." The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf—a name you can trust—got flayed by a Republican senator while testifying before Congress as he failed to offer even basic projections or knowledge of how the disease will spread. On Wednesday morning, The New York Times reported that Europe is preparing for a pandemic.
Amid all this uncertainty, our president is calm, cool, and collected 😎.
Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible. Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape! @CDCgov.....I will be having a News Conference at the White House, on this subject, today at 6:00 P.M. CDC representatives, and others, will be there. Thank you!
