Trump on Fauci: ‘He doesn’t not disagree with me’ …nothing worse than last-minute ideologies

This will never be approved by me, or any other Republican! https://t.co/jWcGaS2QZC— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 24, 2020

I can confirm this. This is what Democrats torpedoed the rescue package for.

This will go down as one of the most cynical, disgusting, malevolent actions in history. Millions are losing jobs while they play these games. https://t.co/SUCtYxmXGo

The same guy who said “I alone can fix it,”

And then said “I take no responsibility,”

Now wants to be in charge of a $500 billion slush fund with the power to reward friends and punish enemies, and says, “I will be the oversight.”

My answer: “No you won’t.” https://t.co/8SKWPxxYBE

AP reporter Jonathan Lemiere just had a chilling report describing Trump crashing meetings at the WH and taking them off track because no one is allowed to challenge him or present facts that are contrary to his pre-conceived instincts and positions.

First, it *is* true that the trade-off right now between a raging pandemic and a Great Depression style hit to the economy is a horrible one, and we need to get to a place where we can manage the virus and also have something like normal life.

But let's say you just think the costs outweight the benefits, and are not morally persuaded by the idea that we shouldn't let hundreds and thousands if not millions of (disproportionately) the oldest and sickest among us be left to die.

Which is to say, even if you care about economic activity as the only value here, it's really not clear that anything like “business as usual” is even a possibility in the midst of a roaring pandemic, even if you let everything stay open.

I never, and I mean EVER, want to hear someone claim to be “pro life” when they're okay with letting a deadly plague run rampant thru society for the sake of their stock portfolio.

He lies. He boasts. He bashes the media. He makes vague promises. He plays conqueror, cheerleader and victim. He talks about whatever he wants to talk about.
