Trump's cynical call to his base to go to church by Easter.

Tell me how this doesn't undermine the facts from experts in the medical community, and the WHO?

The Pentagon, they know how crazy this is but will they speak out?

In early March look at what he was trying to control, what has changed for the better? How much more crazy messaging are we suppose to overlook?

Defense Secretary Warns Commanders Not to Surprise Trump on Coronavirus
Mark T. Esper directed overseas officers not to run afoul of the White House’s messaging and asked them to clear decisions on protecting their troops. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/esper-trump-military-coronavirus.html



Trump is a threat to humanity. George W Bush and Obama should speak jointly on this danger. It is not a time to employ the calculations of politics, nor give the benefit of the doubt that as president he should not be criticized by his predecessors.


Its not an exaggeration, he is fueling the virus and that is a threat to our national security. Please make your concerns and demands known.

1. The anonymous person whom he could shoot on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.

2. The amnesty-seeking children at the border, stuffed lonely and afraid in kiddy prisons

3. The dead in Puerto Rico who waited in vain for aid

4. ...and now he's come for your parents and grandparents, your children, and for you and me

7. Honestly, how else would one describe what he said? A national security threat imo.

He intentionally used the Easter call because he knows that his base, the ones not on Wall Street, will likely listen to him.
I have never witnessed anything so cynical and devious in all my life.

13. I doubt it. He is more ruthless than some think, imo. He just wants his spin to have an affect

Millions of people cram into churches on Easter, the very day that cases are going to be hitting their peaks in many places, we are going to see infection skyrocket a week later and there are going to be 10s or even hundreds of thousands of dead people on Trumps hands by May.

Maybe Paula can cast the virus into a herd of pigs that will run off a cliff and die.
