1/8 Congratulations America, we're being lead by a moron.

As the coronavirus pandemic has worn on, one thing has become crystal clear: if you want to survive, do NOT listen to Donald Trump.

#DoNotListenToTrump #DoNotBelieveTrump #DoNotTrustTrump #Disinformation

2/8 From people ignoring the pandemic as a hoax to the death of those trying to self-medicate, is it any wonder Trump's rambling, shambling replacement for his rallies, the "daily coronavirus press conference", has become the final straw for the media? nyti.ms/3ddbf31

3/8 Well, it has. And now media outlets both local...

Washington state radio station won't air Trump briefings because of 'false or misleading information' thehill.com/blogs/news/blo…

4/8 ...and national are tuning out and turning off the voice of unreason.

5/8 CNN & MSNBC Staff Push Back on Airing Trump’s Coronavirus ‘Lies’

Trump’s daily pandemic briefings have devolved into an “open-mic night” full of “misinformation” as networks weigh how much of the events they must air.

6/8 This rebellion against #disinformation comes as viewers have increasingly noticed the absence of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, whose ever bolder efforts to correct Trump's falsehoods are wearing away at his notorious intolerance for competency & facts.

7/8 All the more worrisome is that Dr. Fauci's island of reason and reality is under assault by the MAGA fringe, where there are increasing rumbles labeling him as a "Deep-State Hillary Clinton-loving stooge" and "disrespectful".

8/8 That Dr. Fauci's held on this long seems to be a combination of the great respect the majority of the U.S. hold him in & the slim possibility that Trump, a noted germaphobe, might actually recognize he needs him.

Let's hope Trump's ego doesn't override his survival instinct.
