While Donald J. Trump told the American people that the Covid-19 virus would magically disappear, wasn’t worse than a bad flu, was completely under control, and other lies, it turns out he wasn’t just being his usual inept self.
He actually knew he was lying to everyone, and it’s recordings of himself admitting he knew, that is the source of another bombshell that fell this week on his bid for re-election.
There are no anonymous sources for his supporters to point at and use as, “no proof” of what was said, as when those who defended his disparaging dead veterans, would argue.
The recordings, made with Trump’s permission, to be used in Bob Woodward’s new book, Rage, was part of 18 interviews Trump gave the author. Trump, who forgot he wasn’t selling white supremacy to white supremacists, thought he could BS Bob Woodward.
Not only did Trump know how deadly and infectious Covid-19 is, but that he, “always wanted to play it down.”
Trump said he didn’t want to cause a “panic.”
Likely, the only panic he worried about was the one that eventually hit Wall Street. With 190,000 in the U.S. now dead from Covid-19 because Trump failed in his duty, is it any wonder Trump’s own sister called him “cruel” and a “liar”?
