Unknown White House Official Tried Convincing Trump COVID-19 Was Obama's Idea
WASHINGTON, D.C. — To many outside observers, it appears that President Donald Trump is “over” the COVID-19 pandemic. Long gone are the times of daily press conferences from his coronavirus task force, and whenever he speaks of the pandemic now, it’s always in terms of opening the country’s economy back up. Trump’s been making a rather public attempt to shift to election campaign mode, just over four months away from a showdown with Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and many of his critics have been only commenting that he doesn’t seem to even care about COVID-19’s toll on Americans, outside of his election
This morning, sources within the administration began speaking anonymously to outside media outlets. Reportedly, within the White House there’s a growing acknowledgment that at the very least the president is giving off an impression of nonchalant disregard of the novel coronavirus. Apparently, the situation is dire enough that an urgent meeting without President Trump’s presence was held in the White House kitchen’s pantry, and it was determined that the staffer he trusted the most would try what they called a “desperate gambit” to reignite Trump’s passion for stopping the spread of COVID-19.
“Early this morning, a group of us pulled ourselves into the pantry cupboard and talked about how the president is losing his grip on the pandemic messaging,” an anonymous source told us via Skype today. “Since I’m the one Daddy — excuse me, President Daddy — trusts most, we decided I’d be the one to try something to get him fired back up again about COVID. Phew! I almost blew my cover, and Daddy only likes me blowing one very small, extremely wrinkled, bent and mangled thing!”
According to our source, they attempted to convince President Trump to care about COVID again by lying to him. Admittedly, our source says that lying to the commander in chief “isn’t ideal.” However, watching the president’s polling numbers slide further and further behind Biden “made everyone extremely aware” of just how much Trump needed to change his tone toward the outbreak.
