Trump will use two tactics to open america-cast doubt on number of deaths and

[EleanorR]

The plan is gaslighting and forced consumption. Having completely and totally failed to lead in the fight against the virus, all that remains is manipulating perception. Disgusting.

1. I will never understand why they find it so hard to do this testing

Other countries have done it-- Look at South Korea, which just now immediately did testing and contact tracing at the first sign of a small outbreak.

Why can't we do it? There are public health systems and workers who are trained and experienced at this sort of thing.

Trump can only be finding it difficult because he's avoiding asking for any advice or taking the advice he's given.

I think he has a deathwish... not for himself, but for the rest of us. Somehow it makes him feel powerful to let us die.

3. It's a combination of incompetence and malevolence

This administration is full of simpletons and sociopaths. Trump is both.

4. If you don't test, no one will test positive

thus, you can't have a Coronavirus pandemic then

6. True

Already they're claiming the deathrate-- their own LOW estimates-- are inflated.

8. The problem for them is people will know what their family and friends died from.

That can't be lied away. Woodrow Wilson lied about the 1918 virus, that ultimately led to a republican being elected president. Ultimately the deathmarch of the virus overcame the lying, the same will most likely happen for Trump.

11. It's not that it's hard. It's that they don't want to do it.

2. tRUMP's efforts will only work on his base. The rest of us want to cough in his face...

9. I agree. People will know what their family and friends died from. nt

5. Declare it illegal to drive a truck that is 10 years old?

How would that be feasible? With the surge not just in online shopping, but in retailer shopping (hoarding), every drivable truck is probably being pressed into service.

How would that be enforced? Pull over EVERY truck to verify it's age?

Then what? Arrest the driver? Tow the truck? Sanction the trucking company?

Who gets to claim the merchandise the truck was hauling? Does it go into Jared's stockpile? What if it's perishable, and the trucking company doesn't have a young enough truck or rig to retrieve it?

Of course, it's that 1% mentality of "Oh, they'll just go out and buy a new truck. Problem solved"

7. Those rigs costs upwards of $100K, and many are owner-operated-

And... to what purpose? When something random like this pops up with Trump, gotta figure he, Jared, or lil Donnie own shares in a company that will make money from it.

12. That is absurd and I doubt something he can do with an executive order.

10. The new Trump crony Postmaster General and the practicality of vote by mail

in the time of CV19 is troubling as far as the election.
