As I listened to Rachel detailing....
....the many announcements Trump made in the presence of all the business leaders of all the programs that were to be rolled out, like testing in parking lots, etc., but which have not materialized, I couldn't help but think of the famous aspect of the Ukraine quid pro quo in which the Ukraine President was urged to make just an announcement that an investigation was underway. That's all that was needed, just an announcement (so that the story, the propaganda, could follow from that).
It certainly seems like that's what's happening now with the Trump administration coronavirus non-response. Make an announcement, an empty announcement, for appearances' sake only to make it look like there's a Federal response, to deflect from and cover for the fact that they have no intention and never had an intention to do anything....It's all been a p.r. show by the p.r. President. And behind the show? He doesn't care if people in blue states are dying, if Democrat governors are left to fend for themselves and look incompetent, if healthcare workers have no supplies....He only wants to deflect attention away from the schemes of stealing supplies and selling them for a profit, promoting "cures" to which he has financial ties, etc., not to mention the workings of a very sick personality that only seeks to punish those who did not and will not vote for him, who are not loyal to him, or in the case of SDNY who may be seeking to bring him to justice.
It's the only way he knows how to operate.....a very sick and cynical individual....
