Trump's indoor rally last night was his way of "downplaying the pandemic".

He was doubling down on Bob Woodward's book. In his interview, he told Woodward he liked to downplay it, even though he knew it was "deadly".

It may have been reckless, but it was not a big gamble. The number of Covid-19 cases in that area was not high. Nationwide the numbers are going down. Maybe a few people will get sick from the rally but it won't be like New York. But just enough to keep the virus alive After all, Herman Cain got sick at one of his rallies and died, but it did not cause another huge outbreak.

The majority of the country is now aware of how to protect themselves. Unfortunately, some will continue to get sick and die because of events like the Sturgis Bike Rally and the Trump rally last night. Just enough to keep it going.

It is noteworthy that our neighbor, Canada, had zero cases yesterday.

This seems like a boneheaded Trump-a-dope strategy, again.
