"not causing a panic" is a euphemism

[Nancy Waterman]

for not crashing the economy. In other words, "I did not want to cause a panic because it would have crashed the economy, which is my only ticket to reelection." Once again, it is Trump's needs that win out over national security, the lives of the citizens, the rule of law, the environment, etc.

1. Exactly. Trump is so fixated on the market.

I think he meant to say, "I didn't want to panic investors."

The markets didn't begin to crash until Feb 21. They were still riding high when he spoke to Woodward.

2. He spends all day trying to cause a panic (caravan, ANTIFA, abolishing suburbs, ...)

So the whole notion is just fucking silly. It won't hold water.

3. If I recall, Kushner thought COVID would harm 'blue' states and the Governors

would be held accountable? They thought Trump could continue to lie, unchecked. Makes sense given they lead a cult.

They were willing to kill people, to win an election. I can't wrap my head around the collusion involved in this.

7. He didn't have to hold 5 rallies. Not holding death rallies would not have caused panic.

He knew his rallies would likely kill some of his supporters. He did it anyway because he got more support from his death rallies.
