Trump's solution for the coronavirus? Don't talk about it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump drew a few laughs and hollers of approval Thursday when he railed against "the plague coming in from China" to supporters packed into a Dallas church.

But he didn't dwell on public health concerns. The virus, "or whatever you want to call it," as he told the crowd, is now just another throw-away line in Trump's political patter, meant to jab a foreign adversary and energize his base.

Nearly six weeks after Trump stopped daily televised briefings at the White House that drew sharp criticism for his false claims and dangerous advice -- such as injecting household disinfectant to kill the virus -- he has a new tactic: ignoring the threat.

He rarely speaks of COVID-19, which has killed more than 114,000 people in the United States and more than 300,000 others elsewhere in the world. When he does mention it, he usually claims imminent victory -- pledging on June 5, for example, to "stomp out" any "embers" of the disease.

1. Of course

he can't bully a virus, but it will not stop unless we get a vaccine, cases are going up and there is no strategy to stop it. It's a matter of time before he gets it.

3. He probably already had it.

Back when he was taking the fish tank pill.

Bad idea altogether, but no one ever claimed it was preventive. Of course, it's entirely possible that he was lying about taking it. But, it was for around two weeks I think, so....

4. June 19th he'll get it.

And he'll probably get the worst of it because he's old, overweight, and has no stamina.

2. It's a loser topic for him, so he figures why bring it up at all?

As I've stated before, it's really remarkable and a demonstration of how truly inept he is that he can't "win" on this issue.

Every lousy politician secretly prays for a disaster because it's so easy (politically speaking) to appear as a leader. Just give a speech saying we'll triumph over adversity together, and hand it over to the experts. Even ghouliani managed this after 9/11 and he became "America's mayor".

But Donnie is so inept he can't even handle the standard midterm question from politics 101.

So he has already screwed it up so badly he knows he has to give up and try to make people forget about it.
