Then Trump got infected and took the cure himself and by doing that he proved this drug was not dangerous because if it was Trump would have never taken it.
So three days ago before Trump started saying “cure”, I tweeted this.
The rollout of these drugs will disproportionately benefit seniors. Word spreads. Keep in mind many of the polling models assume Trump losing seniors. If he moves that group of reliable voters that’s a huge impact. Especially in states like Florida and Arizona.
And Don’t forget Trump will be sending every seniors a check for $200 to spend on pharmaceuticals before Election Day.
NBC News: “In phone calls to McMaster — the first of which took place last fall — Trump told his second national security adviser that he missed him, according to two people familiar with the conversations.” 1/X
“It’s a sentiment the president has also expressed to White House aides, they said. Trump has solicited McMaster's advice on various national security challenges, even asking McMaster whom he should nominate to lead the Pentagon, they said.” 2/x
Me:”...given everything everyone is certain of about McMaster and his involvement in undermining Trump why would Trump be calling him and expressing his frustration with Bolton? Seemingly Trump has been baiting this Ukraine affair for a lot longer than I previously assumed.” 3/x
1/ There were effectively three throttles on the economy thwarting Trump’s vision of massive expansion, particularly of the manufacturing sector. One was the Fed holding interest rates artificially high. That’s gone.
2/ The second throttle was spending caps initially imposed as part of the sequester. We are now on the verge of massive fiscal stimulus. Third is an artificial throttle that Trump self imposed. Partially to influence China in restructuring their trade relationship with the US.
3/ But Trump also used tariffs to influence the two other groups, the Fed and Congress, that controlled the other throttles in order to break them by using their desperation, to overcome Trump’s self imposed tariffs, against them.
1/ By January 4th 2017 team Trump had positioned team Obama into a corner with two bad choices. Intervene to destroy Flynn taking actions not grounded in facts or allow Flynn free reign as NSA to expose their corrupt actions in the Iran deal and beyond.
2/ When the FBI walked into the WH to “ask Flynn some questions” it was obvious to team Trump which choice team Obam had made. The rest of the first term has been about exposing what the coup plotters were doing.
3/ It’s been one bait trap after another and at every junction team Obama has charged forward knowing that to stop risked exposing what had already been done. You have McCabe then Mueller then Schiff. But it’s all built on shifting sand.
I know this is likely to get drowned out given everything happening right now but the truth is there’s no such thing as fake news.
There are only facts, interpretations and opinions.
Free speech means I am free to express my interpretations and options and you to express yours.
The challenge was that we had given power to a media establishment to be the arbiter of the “true” interpretations and opinions as well as the gateway to which facts the public had the right to know.
Talk radio and social media broke through that structure.
What you see now is a hopeless and desperate attempt by the corporations that own the media establishment to take back control over facts, interpretations and opinions. To reestablish their role as the public’s arbiter.
In many ways this is the central battle Trump is fighting.
