He says even if he doesn't have a vaccine it will go away.
The truckers are sure pressing those horns - looks like they really don't love him

Conniving, dastardly and very, very good at it. Do not think the fox guarding things is stupid or inept because your hen house will first be missing eggs and then the chickens are just gone one day.

trucking industry for quite some time. I had friends of mine in the trucking industry, most of them have quit and gone into other fields. They're always looking for drivers.

15. He lied about it, which levels-up his stupid.

Starting out with a lie about truckers showing their support versus protesting puts everything he said into question. The lie is part of the story. The lie about the truckers was one of the first things CNN pointed out.
