Trump: Virus "Numbers" Are "Really, Very, Very Strong"

President Donald Trump is downplaying the Coronavirus all over again. 

As parts of the United States get ready for a phased-in reopening at the President's urging, Trump is tapping out the same disingenuous dance number that led to the nearly 64,000 lives snuffed out in America.

This time, Trump is downplaying the virus's ravages, namely the deaths, fluffing off our lost souls as mere statistics and acting as if the epidemic is already over.

"Our deaths, our numbers, per million people, are really very, very strong," Trump upchucked today. "We're very proud of the job we've done."

Proud? 

It's as if the President's talking about the stock market performance of a corporate Trump sycophant like Walmart -- "Our numbers.. are really, very, very strong." 

Trump's meandering public addresses are increasingly the detached blatherings of a sociopath. And reminder: he's our President.

Those, 64,000 people happened to die because Trump was too focused, for more than two months, on stock market numbers, golfing, holding "Keep America Great" rallies and seeking vengeance against impeachment witnesses.

The President should be charged with manslaughter.

Yet, the imbecilic con man hasn't learned his lesson. He never learns his lesson. He's not interested in learning any lessons. Of course, he feigns concern. But not very well.

"This plague should never have happened," Trump said at last evening's business round table with industry execs who were present to dutifully lick the President's boots and convince America it was time to go back to work. "It could’ve been stopped, but people chose not to stop it."

That was the closest we'll get to an admission of guilt from the President. He's admitting "it could have been stopped, but people chose not to stop it." 

Trump just isn't saying he happens to be the guy who knew death was incubating in the homeland and simply blew it off as little consequence..

But, we knew that already.

The President ignored repeated warnings of the Coronavirus virus threat, detailed in his presidential daily briefings from early January through February.

Trump belatedly declared a national emergency on March 13. It was way too late. Some 1,700 cases of Covid-19 had been confirmed and 40 deaths reported.

The virus was already uncontrollably spreading across the homeland, compromising lives.

Now, the master illusionist President is promising once again the virus "is going to go away" as if this will happen at the snap of Trump's fingers.

In the meantime, the divider-in-chief continues to cast blame everywhere -- President Barack Obama, state governors, the World Health Organization and China. There will be others. 

I'm afraid that the death toll will climb much higher, particularly if citizens don't continue to take social distancing seriously. 

There still aren't enough virus test kits and components or reliable anti-body tests out there to track the contagion and help instruct who can safely return to the work place and when.

And I'm concerned that really deep down, the President -- who no doubt would happily turn a resurgent national emergency into a means of autocratic control come election day this November -- just doesn't give a damn either way.
