Got an over-grown postcard in the mail today.
On one side it says:
"President Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines for America"
On the opposite side, there's a very nice outline of the basics for people to use for their safety and that of family and friends. Outlines the need for sheltering in-place, self-isolation and cleanliness, etc. All pure CDC stuff.
But not a word about everything being back to normal by Easter!
Since when did Trump become an expert on viruses that writes public medical safety notices sent in the US mail?
Oh wait.....he's implying he is an expert on his daily tax-payer-paid campaign briefing......

Valid info from CDC info on back on washing hands, social distancing, and who is at greater risk.
Made to make idiot man look reasonable to those that are not paying attention.
Nothing new really, but yeah, it made me really angry. I tore it up and tossed it.

There was no reason whatsoever to put his name on it other than raw politics.
This clearly demonstrates how tRump has planted his control-freak stooges in most every government bureau.....

I believe is for government mail. Similar to mail I recently received from the SSA.
He just cannot stop with the self-promotion.
