Trump just posted the full interview with Lesley Stahl.

It's absolutely deadly for him.

He says this about coronavirus:

"We got hit by something. Not MY fault."

Then later:

"I got stuck with it."

This should be in Dem ads tomorrow.

Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS. Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA

Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," a source said.

As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.

That sounds like something FDR would have said when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. "We got hit by something. Not My fault"??? What did he think being President of the United States was? Anything that happens really has nothing to do with him?

And HE "got stuck with it"? Like COVID was a personal attack on just him and his reelection. People are suffering all over the country, but he is the only one who has been harmed. The gods must be so unjust.

What a narcissistic sociopath.

He did not invent Covid. This did come out of China. What it is, we do not know. Open air market? Military lab? Nobody has yet even determined the vector.

But what is damning him all to hell is his absolute incompetence, and indifference to it, at a time when we needed a leader to fight back. It is painfully obvious that he wanted to use it politically, and has been using it politically. And, I will never, ever forgive or forget that he not only ignored our frontline fighters, but actually hindered them in the performance of their duties. Having FEMA confiscate PPEs is utterly disgraceful.

Now he is effing with the CDC, trying to usurp their expertise with his clown car of idiots fighting over the professional development of a vaccine and treatments, in order to use anything in pursuit of reelection. This is shameful.

He's trying to pave a pathway to reelection by greasing his wheels with the Covid-felled bodies of our families and friends. This is what makes him totally despicable.

What kind of leader urges you to inject bleach and stick lights up your butt or down your throat, when he himself availed of the very latest in experimental drugs?

Hitler didn't accidently shove millions into ovens that just popped up. They built them. It was on purpose. This isn't exactly on the level of Hitler, but it's running a hot and heavy second. That is why people are saying he is killing millions, not because he caused Covid, but because he is obstructing the efforts to defeat it. And, he is so incompetent that he can't even see it!

He doesn't care if YOU die, or I die. He cares only about getting reelected in order to avoid legal liabilities, and his debts. That's it.
