Ashley Parker: Advisers told Trump he 'will own these deaths'

That's the reason Trump backed off. Not for some imaginary friend, or he suddenly found empathy after seeing bodies lined up at Elmhurst Hospital.
His campaign folks told him he is going to own these deaths. They told him No one is blaming him for the economy tanking, but they will blame him if he pushes to re-open businesses and and the infection rates go up and bodies start piling up. This is all political as usual.

People like tRump never let anything haunt them. He only cares about all the death/dying if it if it hurts his 'alleged' rising poll numbers--and we know that his poll numbers are not rising.

And for Jim Acosta to say he 'I think he gets it" is so stupid, especially after all of the times he's insulted Acosta and CONTINUES to insult some in the media who challenge his fat ass 🙄

They’re trying to excuse away the deaths that have already happened by drawing an imaginary line in a future that no longer exists, as tRump has moved off his open by Easter shit.

on the track we're on, by Nov his base will be nothing more than
slick, thin ice ... he should be by then deserted by every repug up for election
that will be grasping for any semblance of a vote ...

dead bodies stacked in chilled tractor trailers do not bode well for fatnixon and his minions, nor can the dead vote ..

Trump?
No idea.
Last one <I> voted for was Reagan (and that's because Jr fucked up 2 wars n crashed the economy...so NEVER gonna admit to supporting that).

I almost wish we could let these people have their own country to fuck up for 2 decades or so...just so we can say 'fuck NO, you cant come back in here...you HATE pluralism and equality n Democracy and thats why you left IN THE FIRST PLACE, REMEMBER?!?

So have your Galts Gulch Mass Grave State and feel free to die there. MAGA.

He owns the bodies. He owns me shutting my two businesses DOWN and sending employees home....(I’m still paying them all...I’m not a jerk) He owns my kid trying to learn while not in school. He owns my father in law dying two weeks ago without a funeral because of the virus. He owns the bottom falling out of my pension. Please, Universe...make him accountable for some of this. Please.

Musing with Mrs GAC yesterday, I considered he no longer really cares whether he wins in November or not, because he truly hates this gig.
If he drops the tough guy talk to rile the suckers, I'll know I'm right.
When he stops worrying about his chances of flipping the middle, I think it's white flag time.
Not that the horserace isn't getting his juices flowing, but winning (getting less likely) means 4 more years of a job he hates, including the daily scrutiny that comes with it.
And, if the House looks safe for D's to maintain control, & the Senate either flips or gets closer, he'll be a paper tiger, & he'd hate that even further.
