A sci-fi writer couldn't have written a crazier story than what we are dealing with in Trump.

I was reading transcripts from today's COVID-19 tv briefing by Trump.
He is lying so much.
He's not even TRYING to cover up any of his previous statements—he just plain denies he said that, or pretends it never happened.

Reading the text is much more telling than watching videos. It's jaw-dropping.
I'm beginning to think that's the problem with our society today: they don't read the news, they watch it. I think reading something sits in your brain longer.

Mr. Trump, who spent weeks downplaying the threat of the virus — and who has retreated from his recent suggestion that social distancing could be scaled back in mid-April — congratulated himself for projections showing that public health measures may dramatically limit the national death toll.

“What would have happened if we did nothing? Because there was a group that said, ‘Let’s just ride it out,’” Mr. Trump said, without saying what “group” he was referring to.

Mr. Trump said that as many as 2.2 million people “would have died if we did nothing, if we just carried on with our life.”

“You would have seen people dying on airplanes, you would have seen people dying in hotel lobbies — you would have seen death all over,” Mr. Trump said. By comparison, he said, a potential death toll of 100,000 “is a very low number.”
