Pence effed up royally here. He totally lost control of the messaging. The task force ended up running HIM

“Also, the briefings should be about all aspects of the coronavirus pandemic. Trump should show how he has to weigh all the factors to produce the least-bad outcomes. Roll out a new task force, which would include experts on medical impacts of lockdowns (mental health, postponed operations, etc.); economic impacts; security; financial impacts; etc. (Ther’s nothing good about the situation.) That would put Fauci & his policies into a broader context. “

This is all common sense. Why Trump and his people didn’t do it already is mystifying. Instead they made Fauci and Scarf the stars , with no other medical and scientific perspectives offered. Stupid. Utterly stupid.

I wrote to Trump in late March urging him to do exactly that. There are scores of doctors with a better pedigree than Fauci who have more rational views of the problem.

If masks don’t work then what does? Tell us how you can avoid getting Coronavirus? If someone if going to cough at you what should you do? I get the purpose of a medical mask not a bandana or cloth over mouth but a medical mask. I get the purpose of covering in public. I only wear it going out and being in public. Trying to avoid getting this junk. I don’t want it.

"And bring Bill Barr out to announce an investigation into inflation of virus stats to commit financial fraud."

👍

Yes.

Example: They reported 2 young people killed in a motorcycle accident, who also happened to supposedly, test positive for CCP virus, as having died from CCP virus. Then news media ran with it :

CCP VIRUS NUMBERS SKYROCKET!

YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DYING OF CCP VIRUS!😱😱😱.

Thus they foment more panic.

There needs to be a serious discussion about not destroying everyone financially, just because the Democrat party thinks it benefits them to deliberately wreck the economy.

Americans have to ask:

If a political party would "take advantage of a crisis", and attempt to actively ruin the lives, and finances, of citizens, in order to benefit themselves, should that party EVER BE ELECTED TO HOLD ANY OFFICE AGAIN?

Also, the extreme level of psychological fear being pushed by the MSM, needs to be addressed. (Watch any MSM/local news casts for reference). This hysterical reporting HAS to be challenged.

For instance-People need to be reminded of how many die from the flu each year, to combat the "Numbers increasing 😱 woe is us!!!" reports.

Also ask how many people die in car accidents? Do we ban people from driving?

How many drown? Do we cement over pools? Stop people from going the beach?

People have to stop and think, AND QUESTION, what the MSM is pushing .

Another thing that would also be helpful, is to talk about places that did not shut down, and how they are doing. (News media will always act like everyone shut down)

It would be nice to begin focusing on how we are going to get back on track. Discuss ideas for rebuiling. Where we want to go. How to get there exc... Try to reassure people that "this too shall pass".

Returning to daily briefings would be a good idea.

Final thought: How about giving new media a place at the table?

(I get so tired of the stupid-idiot questions repeated over and over by the MSM.)

Even if they are small outlets: People like Redpill78, TruReporting, Quite Frankly, Brenden Dilley, Kate Awakening, would ask better questions and make conferences more informative IMO.

(Recall previous POTUS interviewed with someone sitting in tub of milk and cereal FYI)

Just my 2 cents

Yes Pence wasn’t up to the job. So why does he still have the job?

This situation is making President Trump look ineffectual.

Citizens are left feeling adrift, at the mercy of local leaders with different opinions.

That’s the best statement I’ve seen of our current situation.

The OBLY way to avoid any disease is a) the healing power of Jesus Christ and b) be healthy. Otherwise it is evil to live in fear, since fear is from the devil

Citizens are left feeling adrift, at the mercy of local leaders with different opinions. It’s a very dangerous place to leave voters so close to the election.

I am feeling very adrift and at the mercy of my CA governor who just announced that neither of my teens--one in public school and one in private school--will be allowed to attend school in person in 3 weeks. Perhaps not for the entire year. Perhaps longer.

I love Trump but feel so helpless when he just says "schools should re-open" and then just talks about how great the stock market is. I understand that governors have this power and I know it's my fault for choosing to live in a blue state, but we are looking at MILLIONS of American children being denied education this fall. For perhaps a long, long time. I mean I'm glad my stocks are doing well but I would trade all that for the chance for my teens to have a normal life soon: high school with sports, music etc--I feel so sad for HS althetes and musicians right now.

And no one under the age of 18 has died in CA. Kids don't seem to get the virus much, be affected by it much, or transmit it much. And yet their lives are being ripped apart--for nothing.

Trump could discuss the aspects of this story in great detail....

The CDC Has Politicized the Pandemic, Says Senior Administration Official

If he hasn't tweeted out a link that story, he should.

Hannity is AWFUL. Seriously Awful. And the way he drones on and on about wearing masks! Holy crap he makes me sick.

Conway says Trump should resume giving regular coronavirus briefings

Because they worked so well last time?

Resuming briefings brings Covid front and center again, something Trump is trying to get away from. Social issues and crime seem to be the issues Trump is running on now, and the economy if that continues to improve at the rate it has in the last few months. The last thing Trump wants or needs to be dragged into Covid again.

“Kicking Fauci to the curb is an imperative at this point if Trump wants to win.”

Yes. And if he has to do a deep dive into Fauci’s closet to find some skeletons to use for blackmail, I’m good with that. Add a shot of truth serum. Force the goblin to be honest about everything.

“Like I said, idiots. And that includes Hannity”

I ended Hannity in our house the first time he got all giddy about wearing masks at baseball games.

Linda is Hannity’s sidekick.

She seems like a nice lady, but I can’t believe that she and Sean didn’t correct the so-called conservative caller and inform him that the dem governor of Pennsylvania is the one who instituted the shutdowns in that state, NOT President Trump.
