OCCUPY TRUTH, people!
That’s a LIE. He’s a Liar. On a Bully Pulpit.
So this is called propaganda. Elevating FOXes fake facts and alternate reality, into s surreal nightmare.
Aditionally, he is in charge of a party of liars. Which is a conspiracy, in reality, of unreality, to deceive the people, to con us. It is in plain sight of us, the con party.
It’s a huge Con job. DON the CON. The big TRICKSTER.
It’s a familiar, old story. Don’t tell him the truth, or else! “The Emperor Has No Clothes”
Unfortunately it doesn't matter. Trump has a mob of brain dead followers who are willing to blindly believe anything he says, even to the point of accepting his delusional altering of reality.
Trump's zombies seem willing to blame their troubles on anyone Trump says is at fault. He's not likely to lose that 35 to 40% of the vote. Now that Sanders has withdrawn the choice is four more years with a dangerously incompetent narcissist or Biden.
Yea. Nothing really matters to cons, REd Dawn Emails
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/politics/coronavirus-red-dawn-emails-trump.html
The cons love a good conspiracy. Above is a real conspiracy: Red Dawn Emails
The ‘Red Dawn’ Emails: 8 Key Exchanges on the Faltering Response to the Coronavirus Experts inside and outside the government identified the threat early on and sought to raise alarms even as President Trump was moving slowly. Read some of what they had to say among themselves at critical moments.
The “Red Dawn String,” Dr. Caneva said, was intended “to provide thoughts, concerns, raise issues, share information across various colleagues responding to Covid-19,” including medical experts and doctors from the Health and Human Services Department, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Homeland Security Department, the Veterans Affairs Department, the Pentagon and other federal agencies tracking the historic health emergency.
Dr. Kadlec and other administration officials decided the next day to recommend to Mr. Trump that he publicly support the start of these mitigation efforts, such as school closings. But before they could discuss it with the president, who was returning from India, another official went public with a warning, sending the stock market down sharply and angering Mr. Trump. The meeting to brief him on the recommendation was canceled and it was three weeks before Mr. Trump would reluctantly come around to the need for mitigation.
This slow pace of action was confusing to the medical experts on the Red Dawn email chain, who were increasingly alarmed that cities and states that were getting hit hard by the virus needed to move faster to take aggressive steps.
A former high-ranking Trump official weighed in with criticisms.
When Mr. Trump gave a speech to the nation on March 11 in which he announced limits on flights from Europe to the United States — but still no move to curb gatherings in cities where the virus had spread — the experts on the email chain grew angry and fearful. Among those questioning Mr. Trump’s decision was Tom Bossert, who had previously served as Mr. Trump’s homeland security adviser.

Then Trump insisted he hadn't seen January memos by a top White House official warning about the pandemic at the same time the President was dismissing it as a threat.
“Here we have a president who’s exploiting a national crisis to move forward his own agenda, his own revenge, his own profit,” said Figliuzzi to anchor Nicolle Wallace. “It’s the very concept of what an inspector general stands for, Nicolle, that is opposed to everything that this president stands for. IGs stand for unvarnished truth, reporting the facts, crunching the numbers, the rule of law and compliance. That’s what they do for a living, and it just rubs Trump the wrong way that someone is going to get the truth out.”

Some of the biggest names in right-wing media are questioning the official Covid-19 death toll. Indeed, they're suggesting the numbers might be inflated in an effort to paint President Trump and/or the crisis in the worst possible light. In recent days, a version of this theory has been floated by personalities such as Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Tucker Carlson, Brit Hume, and "Diamond & Silk."
Republicans first proposed the $500 billion fund with no oversight. He said, ‘I will be the oversight.’ That’s what Donald Trump wants. He wants the freedom to reward friends in industry, punish enemies in industry. And this gives him basically a half a trillion dollar hammer, or a half a trillion dollar pot of gold to distribute as he would like. That’s not its intended purpose. This is to save the jobs of workers throughout the country, small business owners and others. It is not to be used as a slush fund for Donald Trump or the first family. And so that oversight is critical. It’s critical to keeping people’s jobs. But the rest of the oversight is critical to making sure that the health care system continues to function as it should.
The grifting never stops, so the oversight shouldn’t either
Since day one, Donald Trump and his family have been enriching themselves at the expense of taxpayers, whether it’s raking in cash from foreign trips or overcharging the Secret Service to stay at Trump properties.

Over the weekend, Trump’s task force decided to rush-deliver hydroxychloroquine to hospitals and pharmacies in the New York area, Detroit, New Orleans and other coronavirus hot zones, provided that the medicine be administered to patients only on the advice of their doctors.
“In peacetime, the conservative approach would be correct,” Peter Navarro, a trade adviser who recently was named the administration’s Defense Production Act policy coordinator, said in an interview. “In wartime, with the potential of mass casualties, you may have to be more forward-leaning and accept additional risk.”
The action came after Trump met with Ingraham, who has been enthusiastically promoting hydroxychloroquine on her 10 p.m. show. She brought along two guests of her program — Ramin Oskoui, a Washington-based cardiologist, and Stephen Smith, a New Jersey-based infectious disease specialist — and Trump asked that FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn attend as well.

Trump opens new front in lies about voter fraud Trump used Tuesday's briefing to launch baseless attacks against voting-by-mail, which many experts say is one fair and effective solution to holding a presidential election amid a pandemic. "Mail ballots, they cheat, people cheat," he said. "Mail ballots are very dangerous thing for this country because they're cheaters. They go and collect them. They're fraudulent in many cases." He added, "the mail ballots are corrupt, in my opinion," and said that "you get thousands and thousands of people sitting in somebody's living room signing ballots all over the place." Facts First: Trump is lying about voter fraud. Multiple studies over the years have confirmed that there is no widespread voter fraud in this country. Additionally, Democratic and Republican state officials routinely oversee elections where millions of people vote-by-mail without systematic problems. Trump has long embraced conspiracy theories about voter fraud. After taking office, Trump set up a commission to investigate the issue, but the panel disbanded without uncovering any evidence supporting Trump's claims that millions voted illegally in 2016. An expansive study in 2017 from the Brennan Center for Justice, a liberal-leaning think tank, found that the rate of voter fraud in the United States was somewhere between 0.00004% and 0.0009%. Voting-by-mail has become increasingly popular in US federal elections, and nearly a quarter of all voters cast mail ballots in 2016, according to the Election Assistance Commission. This year, the solid Republican state of Utah will conduct all-mail elections, which undercuts Trump's claims. It's true that voting-by-mail poses some risks that don't exist with in-person voting, which Trump noted on Tuesday. But the most recent example of absentee ballot fraud involved Republican operatives in North Carolina who allegedly rigged an election for the House of Representatives in 2018. Trump cast an absentee ballot last month in the Florida Republican primary, per local reports. Asked about this contradiction, Trump said it was OK "because I'm allowed to" vote by mail. The vote-by-mail discussion came up at the White House briefing because of Tuesday's elections in Wisconsin, where the Democratic governor tried unsuccessfully to delay the vote, but was thwarted by the GOP-led legislature and the state Supreme Court's conservative majority. In addition to the presidential primaries, there is a general election for a spot on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Trump has backed an incumbent justice who was appointed by Republican.
Live TV Fact check: Trump falsely claims he 'inherited' the faulty coronavirus test. It was developed this year
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/04/07/politics/fact-check-trump-inherited-broken-obsolete-coronavirus-tests/
President Donald Trump has falsely claimed four times since last week that he inherited a faulty coronavirus test -- which was, in reality, developed this year.
In March, Trump initially made a debatable claim that he had inherited a flawed testing "system." By the final days of March and the first days of April, however, he was making a demonstrably inaccurate claim about inheriting the actual tests.
"We inherited a broken test -- the whole thing was broken," Trump said on the Fox News morning show "Fox and Friends" on March 30.
"And remember this: We inherited -- the word is we inherited bad tests. We really inherited bad tests. These are horrible tests. And it was broken. It was all broken. And we fixed it," Trump said at the White House briefing on April 1. "The original test -- the ones we inherited, Jim, as an example, they were -- they were broken. They were obsolete. They were not good tests. And that's what we got stuck with," he said at the April 3 briefing. "Initially speaking, the tests were old, obsolete, and not really prepared," he said at the April 6 briefing. Trump's clear suggestion was that the flawed test had been left to him by President Barack Obama's administration.
Facts First: The faulty initial test for the coronavirus was created during Trump's administration, in early 2020, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since this is a new virus that was first identified this year, the tests couldn't possibly be "old" or "obsolete
