He's not listening to experts. His favorite TV show is going out of their way to discredit and attack those who disagree with him.
His touted "cure" has been proven to cause some dangerous side effects, but he's hawking it anyways.
They're going to launch an attack on the lockdowns and try to prove that they are ineffective. And Trump will use that as an excuse to lock up some of his political opponents.
He's politicized two of the most important government agencies in fighting this thing.
In short, Trump is a lazy man. He doesn't think things through. He lets his favorite TV show do his thinking for him. He's got his marching orders from them. And he's taking the lazy way out.
He's going to torpedo any progress that we're making and this virus will come back with a vengeance in the fall. All for a photo op declaring a premature victory. Count on it.

(17,542 posts)He implies that if the WHO had told him about the problem in November we would not be having the current disaster. He can't dodge that he knew of the looming disaster by January, and still did nothing until March. He pissed away any chance of mitigating the disaster, now, we, not he is going to pay the price. He is trying to run and hide, and his desperate grasping at straws just doesn't play.
The WHO was right, Trump was wrong, so Trump blames the WHO and wants to cut their funding during a pandemic.
What an upside down world we are living in.
