I’m sure you can see what’s wrong with this statement:
““I didn’t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. And in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn’t necessarily true”
Right. You wouldn’t want the virus to hear any bad news or it might get mad and make the president sicker. So shhhh. No bad news. It needs to believe that the strong, powerful President is beating it so it will give up and go infect someone else.
Honestly,. I can’t think of any other way to interpret that. But it is in keeping with the ignorance that’s come out of this White House from the beginning, from “it will just go away” to “maybe we could inject disinfectant to clean the lungs” to “we wouldn’t have all these cases if we weren’t testing” and more, this administration has long been well beyond propaganda to sheer stupidity. The president’s former doctor Ronny Jackson went out and made ridiculous comments and now this one is doing the same thing.
Apparently, Trump didn’t just spread COVID to everyone around him. He spread STUPID as well.
