I cannot stand the juvenile debate tactic that conservatives love to use of throwing out extremes like Trump just did with the "we can't be closed for five years" comment.

This is pure gaslighting from Trump. In his magical thinking, he believes that if we do away with the task force, then people will believe the pandemic is over. Sadly, he may be absolutely correct about that one. It's appalling and slightly amusing that he acts like any flare up of virus cases will be snuffed out like a flame. Um, Donnie, we haven't "snuffed out" shit! We're still dealing with the first one!
