The same reason the CIA warned its employees NOT to take the anti-malarial drug that hadn't been tested or vetted. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...tentially-dangerous-effects-Malaria-drug.html CIA 'warns its workforce of potentially fatal side-effects' of Malaria drug that was hailed by Donald Trump as a 'game changer' in the battle against Covid-19 Sudden death is one of the suspected side effects of hydroxychloroquine Trump has repeatedly hailed the drug during his White House daily briefings But his top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci has cautioned against it The CIA warned their workforce in March. Trump's response?? Whaddya got to lose?? Besides your life.
I'll be the first to admit that politicians lie plenty, but this dude... He lies are endless, about stupid shit, and his followers simply turn that blind eye/deaf ears. Then they want to call anyone who goes against him hateful and such when it's the moron himself who set the tone from the beginning. Gotta love that new gem about the power he thinks he has... “When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total,” Trump said. “And that’s the way it’s got to be. It’s total. The governors know that.”
And the state's rights crowd is whisper fucking quiet, right now. If Obama had ever said this every single Republican senator and representative would be going apeshit over it. But when it's their own guy? Silence.
Liz Cheney smacked Trump in his mouth for saying that dumb authoritarian-I'm-really-a-king bullshit. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...mp-claim-of-total-authority-to-reopen-country 'Does not have absolute power': Liz Cheney refutes Trump claim of 'total' authority to reopen country
Well, I stand corrected. She should have called him out by name, though. Hopefully she won't be the only one. Usually the Tea Party/Freedom Caucus/Deep State crazies are all over this kinda thing. When there's a Democrat in power, that is.
YUP! Like with everything else he does. I remember the stimulus under Obama when they bitched and moaned bitterly about increasing debt on their children, grandchildren and so on. This clown comes along and suddenly... Nothing from them on deficit, national debt and so on. Speaking of the debt... I seem to recall the clown saying that it would be paid in 8 years (something only a Trump follower could believe), and 3 years in... It's still increasing.
I'm sure Trump's supporters will find a way to take his actual words and claim that he either 1) was taken out of context, or 2) that he didn't actually mean what he said when he said what he said. People are dying by the thousands, the unemployment rate is steadily increasing, millions of people don't know where their next meal is coming from or how they're going to pay rent beyond this month, and he lies so much about so many things so often that you could flip a coin as to whether what he's saying is a true or false...but he's doing great on Facebook, and isn't that what really matters? Gotta own those libs, after all!
