Yesterday criminal Fuhrer Trump* must have felt anxious over watching his chances to steal the 2020 election slip through the fingers on his tiny hands.  In an attempt to circumvent that probability, he dusted off his PhD in Bullshitology.  True to form, he piled it higher and deeper.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0722TrumpVirus\"<\/p>\n

President Trump acknowledged on Tuesday that the coronavirus pandemic was growing more severe in the United States and endorsed mask wearing in a shift after weeks of playing down the seriousness of the crisis that has killed more than 140,000 Americans.<\/p>\n

Rather than just \u201cembers\u201d of the virus, as he has repeatedly characterized recent outbreaks afflicting much of the country, Mr. Trump conceded that there were now \u201cbig fires,\u201d particularly in Florida and elsewhere across the South and West. He vowed to press a \u201crelentless\u201d campaign to curb the spread without offering any new specific plans for how to do so<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better,\u201d Mr. Trump told reporters as he resumed the televised coronavirus briefings that he had called off in late April. \u201cSomething I don\u2019t like saying about things, but that\u2019s the way it is. It\u2019s what we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s shift had its limits, however, as he again congratulated himself on his handling of the pandemic, admitted no missteps and made a number of specious claims<\/strong>. He included none of his public health experts in the briefing and falsely asserted that he had never resisted wearing a mask<\/strong>. And he contradicted his own press secretary, who had told reporters just hours earlier that the president was sometimes tested for the virus multiple times a day; in fact, he said, he has never been tested more than once in a single day\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, he did not attend Trump\u2019s* plague show, because he wasn\u2019t invited.<\/font><\/p>\n
