President Trump on Wednesday said he felt like a wartime president as his administration seeks to reduce the spread of the coronavirus and ease the economic impact of the pandemic.

“I view it in a sense, a wartime president,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if he viewed the United States as being on wartime footing.

Why did President Trump drop this theme. He should drop the invisible enemy part because of some implications but keep the war on the virus.

By using this theme he can claim we are close to victory. And those who are inciting riots or aid and abetting rioters are hindering the war effort and are treasonous.

This would help with his PR on the issue as well.

Trump was at war before was elected.

I think George Washington had it easier.

His enemy wore uniforms.

Our biggest enemy is dressed as “media”. The rat party would be insignificant without them.

Remember back in the 80’s when OTA Fox TV channel first came out and how the big 3 attacked them mercilessly? The big three fought hard to crush Fox TV. Well I think a OTA conservative news show is needed. Not cable. But OTA. The big 3 then waste their collective airtime bashing the new show. Thus inturn popularize the show which would gain support from the low information voters. It can be done. Just requires big money.

The “war” theme is one of the things that motivated a lot of stupid jackasses to hide under their beds for the last six months and start a second career scolding people for refusing to wear diapers on their faces.
