Trump announces that WH is starting to form a 'strategy' for COVID-19 six months after 1st infection

Trump announces that the White House is starting to form a ‘strategy’ for COVID-19 six months after first infection

After six months of complete disaster in the United States, President Donald Trump announced that he was finally beginning to develop a strategy.

“We are in the process of developing a strategy that’s going to be very, very powerful,” Trump announced at his first coronavirus task force briefing that didn’t have any members of the coronavirus task force in attendance.

He went on to confess that things are going to get worse before they get better, the first time he has made such a comment.

There are questions as to why Trump’s White House has waited so long to develop a strategy responding to the pandemic, but until recently, the president claimed that the virus was going to disappear.

Stop. Stop this right now. THERE IS NO NEW TONE! There is no "other trump".

There is no “more serious trump”.
There will be no pivot, no change, no shift.
There is no trump B.
The one we’ve all seen for nearly 4 years, is the only one there is.
Stop doing this crap.
I beg you.


THE NOTE: The president is displaying a new tone and a new level of engagement, after aides and allies have pleaded with him to recognize the gravity of the moment

Well LOOKIE Here: WH reveals Trump tested for coronavirus 'multiple times a day'

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany revealed to reporters on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is now being tested for coronavirus “multiple times a day.” She made her remarks defending the president for not wearing a mask Monday evening at a fundraiser just hours after he did an about face, tweeting a photo of himself in a mask and declaring “many people say” wearing them is “patriotic.”


President Trump is “the most tested man in America,” McEnany announced in his defense.

Donald Trump Is a Broken Man...a gusher of discontent.

In another time, in a different circumstance, there would perhaps be room to pity such a person.

Peter Wehner: “The most revealing answer from Donald Trump’s interview with Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace came in response not to the toughest question posed by Wallace, but to the easiest. At the conclusion of the interview, Wallace asked Trump how he will regard his years as president.”

Said Trump: “I think I was very unfairly treated. From before I even won, I was under investigation by a bunch of thieves, crooks. It was an illegal investigation.”

“When Wallace interrupted, trying to get Trump to focus on the positive achievements of his presidency—’What about the good parts, sir?’—Trump brushed the question aside, responding, ‘Russia, Russia, Russia.’ The president then complained about the Flynn investigation, the ‘Russia hoax,’ the ‘Mueller scam’ and the recusal by his then-attorney general, Jeff Sessions.”

“Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man. He is so gripped by his grievances, such a prisoner of his resentments, that even the most benevolent question from an interviewer—what good parts of your presidency would you like to be remembered for?—triggered a gusher of discontent.”

Ted Cruz: "we've got four months to stop a blue wave from destroying the great state of Texas."

TED CRUZ: “Let me tell you right now. Every one of those crazed, angry leftists who showed up in 2018, they’re showing up in 2020, and they’re even angrier. They hate President Trump, and far too many of them hate America. The left is not going to stop at anything to come after Texas and come after this country, and we’ve got four months to stop a blue wave from destroying the great state of Texas.”
