Trump's latest tune

The president used a Fox News “virtual town hall” on Sunday night to repeat his regular virus talking points, including that a vaccine was not far away, Covid-19 was China’s fault and the economy would not only recover but “grow like crazy”.

“We are very confident we are going to have a vaccine by the end of the year,” Trump said. Scientists have repeatedly warned that a vaccine may take 12-18 months or longer.

Trump in April predicted 60,000 American lives would be lost but on Sunday said: “We’re going to lose anywhere from 75, 80 to 100,000 people. That’s a horrible thing.”

He used to brag that bringing in the death toll at 60,000 would show what a fantastic job he's doing, because they originally were saying 100,000 or more. So does this mean he won't be saying he did a fantastic job? Yeah, I know.



Apparently the oval office wasn't good enough.

He's going for a Lincoln-Trump comparison.  What he's getting is a Lincoln-Trump contrast.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
