He didn't want to panic people?? What a f'n insult to Americans, treating them like ignorant,

easily-frightened fools. The leaders of other countries told their people exactly what was happening, what to expect, everything they and the experts knew and we're learning daily. The leaders told their people what needed to be done, what steps had to be taken. The leaders trusted that their people would understand, and do the correct things. Look where they are, having trusted their people. And look where we are, with a sick, twisted, murdering narcissist who contemptuously believes himself smarter than everyone, trusting no one.

It's the same reason the FBI doesn't publish statistics on crime rates. You don't want to panic people. Do you think the people of Flint would have been calm or grateful if they had been told they were about to be poisoned?

but it sure sounds better than the other possible reasons:

1. Worries about the stock market

2. He purposely wanted to kill off people

3. He wanted maximum chaos in November so that he could declare martial law in blue states and "win"

4. Countless other reasons that normal people cannot even begin to imagine

Fuckface didn't tell us because he so totally believes in his own talent to be able to lie his way out of anything. Only problem is that he is only 40% right about that.
