Jay Rosen
Anyone who says he now soberly accepts the realiity of the pandemic. No. He switched claims. From we're doing a fantastic job, the virus is like 15 people to we're doing a fantastic job, if we did nothing it would be millions dead.
Those calling him sober are the marks.

Yes, and also, who cares what Trump's "tone" is if he keeps pathologically *lying*?
On what planet is the correct role for journalists to ascribe a shift to Trump in his tone when he *continues* to lie in their faces in a manner designed to evade responsibility for his failures?

This lying bastard is an insult to everything we have held dear as Americans and shows his ass like a monkey EVERY day, flinging his shit at us and at journalists.
How can any of them debase themselves so much that they actually STILL try to give him credit and make him see like a human? Has he finally become PRESIDENTIAL? After all he had a TONE for two whole minutes.
If MF45 is not gaslighting us the MSM is.

He has just fucked up so bad even his suck up staff must have told him. How bad it looks. Not how bad it is, he doesnt give a shit about that until princess gets sick and dies maybe. Hell be back to his old self son enough after either the new drugs wear off or he can get back to his old stash.
