My Question for Drumpf for Last Night

When Drumpf said last night that he thought he's handled the pandemic well, I wish Stephanopoulos had said "When Obama was President and there were 2 Ebola deaths during his administration, you had tweeted out that he should resign. So please explain to me how you can think that you've done a good job with COVID with 200,000 deaths."

Crossing that line into 200k —and counting — is not a good job.

Snip

On Sunday night, the same president set the goal posts for his administration’s response to the coronavirus in a very different place. In a White House briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump referenced new data from his task force and said that between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths would represent a victory over the coronavirus....

“So you’re talking about 2.2 million deaths, 2.2 million people from this,” Trump said. “And so if we could hold that down, as we’re saying, to 100,000 — it’s a horrible number, maybe even less — but to 100,000. So we have between 100 and 200,000, and we altogether have done a very good job."

Which out current media refuses to ask him. George has to be nice to him so he can get more interview/question answer sessions etc



That is the huge problem our media has no integrity and the corporate overloads don't allow to even think about rocking the boat.

They can only ask like one tough question in a session and if idiot dodges it, ok move on. no follow up. Then let him run on on and on with his agenda.... Rinse and repeat.... This is what got us here. ug
