He thinks he's an expert and he's playing one.
“I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it,” the president went on. He started talking about his tour of the CDC he’d taken before his talk to the press. “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
I have never loved the dude as the President but I still believe he got the dookie end of the stick in many cases and he'd done a much better job than for which he was given credit but for this crisis, he's been foolish and his attitude and how he's represented the virus have been political. He literally blamed the democrats fo the virus. If you look at stats for how people view this, his core group, thinks it's no big deal and as I said, I hope it never hits them because if it does, they will be in trouble.
So he's lying to keep his base calm and then giving half truths to the rest. He should STFU and tell us what the CDC, WHO and Pandemic experts say, not his spin.
