On Saturday, there is no scheduled White House briefing on the COVID-19 crisis. This follows an abbreviated Friday session in which Donald Trump made only brief remarks and left without taking question. And that follows a Thursday session in which Trump suggested drinking or injecting disinfectant as a possible treatment. As well as finding a way to put a bright UV light inside the body. All of which makes it seem that, after allowing Trump to spew unchecked for hour after hour, he may finally have said something so obviously awful that even Trump may feel
what is that feeling
that strange, strange feeling
is it
embarrassment?
Maybe. But its certainly anger. Because the hunt for someone else to blame goes on.
Trumps first go-to in the search for someone to take the fall went to his standard fall guys, with the current kinda-sorta press secretary Kayleigh McEnany calling out the press for taking Trump out of context while claiming that Trump never tried to give medical advice. The only problem with that is that there was no context, other than the context of how the networks have been broadcasting Trumps increasingly off the rails press events in full. Actually, thats not the only problem, because McEnanys statement also requires ignoring the dozens of other times Trump tried to dispense advice.
Right-wing media, both on Fox News and radio, tried to help out by coming up with the pretense that Trump was talking about some new and radical treatmentsomething too cool to be known by plain old medical doctors like Deborah Birx or Anthony Fauci. Are they supergenius messiahs? No! Then how can they be aware of the brilliance of ideas like a Clorox vape? There doesnt yet seem to be a body count attached to this particular effort to own the libs
but its early.
