21. Trump Wants Plausible Deniability When Deaths Increase

Thu May 14, 2020, 12:23 AM

May 2020

Trump wants to reopen even though he has been advised that doing so early will cause deaths to spike, because he is trying to bank on a modest improvement in employment leading to November. However, he also wants to say that Fauci and Brix told him that it was safe to do so and that he was never told that the number of deaths could dramatically increase if the reopening was rushed, particularly since Trump helped sabotage stay at home orders by encouraging people to disobey such orders.

This is why Trump is angry. He is going to lie, but he just does not want to have health officials on record discussing the risks of re-opening.
