Here’s my take...On masks, he just took the issue away from the Rats. They can’t whine anymore. And what could he say about Maxwell? He couldn’t start listing her crimes. He played it smart and wished her well and moved on. Let the truth come out and it will.
Thanks for your take.
Totally agree with your take.
I also liked the length of the presser – he got in, got it, and got out. Didn't give himself time to get pissed off at these snakes. PLUS he didn't share the stage with the saboteurs.
His tone was so good that one especially reptilian reporter whined about it LOLOLOLOL – they know if Trump does exactly this going forward it will calm the country and inspire confidence. The specific content doesn't really matter (yes, I'm tired of the patter about closing the borders/ventilators/we used to have a record economy, but those things are all true and repetition works in politics) as much as his reassuring demeanor and obviously being on top of the issues.
This platform is an enormous opportunity for him and he took it. In no time the media is going to complain about how "uninformative" these things are and stop covering them because they can't lay a glove on him – and they don't want visual data like the death chart he showed getting out there.
