'Everyone is lying': Trump questions public health experts on Twitter

Donald Trump on Monday shared a handful of social media posts questioning the expertise of his own public health officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and suggesting their scientific counsel was intended to thwart his political standing ahead of November’s general election.

In a burst of early morning online activity, Trump retweeted messages from the politically conservative former game show personality Chuck Woolery — who had stints hosting “Wheel of Fortune” and “Love Connection” — which lamented the spread of the “most outrageous lies” regarding the coronavirus pandemic.

“Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it,” Woolery wrote in a tweet shared by the president.
In another post Trump retweeted, Woolery claimed there exists “so much evidence, yes scientific evidence, that schools should open this fall. It’s worldwide and it’s overwhelming. BUT NO.”

Trump also retweeted a message from Mark Young, Woolery’s co-host on his “Blunt Force Truth” podcast, which asked: “So based on Dr. Fauci and the Democrats, I will need an ID card to go shopping but not to vote?”

Distinctive Features of the Contemporary Model for Russian Propaganda
- High-volume and multichannel
- Rapid, continuous, and repetitive
- Lacks commitment to objective reality
- Lacks commitment to consistency.

take charge of this nut job and tell him to immediately resign. Over 135,000 dead, more deaths will happen under your watch. You guys claim to be the party of morals and patriotism, this is a national emergency.

We have a petulant 3 year old in the White House. I mean believing a game show hack over a renowned Expert like Fauci.

This is why polls show him 5 down in Texas and sinking.

The most stunning thing is that despite all this he will still get millions to vote for him.

To me it always comes back to one thing “conman liar and a cheat”. All people had to do was listen to Michael Cohen when he fessed up on everything and went to prison and called him that. Sure he carries on like an imbecilic child while he’s hard at work conning lying and cheating but his base is comprised of imbecilic children just like himself, so those donkeys will go ahead and vote for him this time around too.

He’s so full of shit that hopefully enough people this time around will vote this guy out in a landslide vote that he so richly deserves.
