Trump's COVID-19 strategy simplified (for now)

[NCDem47]

In the court of public perception:

Have the states do all the heavy lifting.

Continue daily briefings for appearances.

Capture the action halo by the states and hope most don’t know the difference (Fed vs. states). Continue to see public approval of situation rise.

The spoiler to this? Shit gets really real in two months. Stories of death, shortages and despair by even trump’s faithful pulls back the curtain on who is really doing what and is who is asleep at the wheel. No amount of lying, denial, blaming, or payoffs will sweep things under the rug.

1. Don't forget blaming Obama for everything that went wrong.

[tinrobot]

2. He can also blame the states

4. Of course!

He’s always the hero and someone else is always the goat.

3. Until Trump's dying breath!

6. He will blame the states and local govts if things go bad

And will take full and exclusive credit if things go well.

His "Presidency" depends on this as well as whether he and several others go to prison if we mercifully get President Joe R. Biden Jr on January 20, 2021. So you can bet your bottom dollar (assume the USD has bottomed out) that he will stop at NOTHING to win this election.

7. You know it's coming...

If he’s re-elected or not, he will LITERALLY take personal credit for a vaccine.
