Anyone Surprised That Trump Didn't Have A Covid-19 Briefing Today?.....

I thought for sure he'd want to mug the camera today given that John Lewis garnered all the coverage. You know how how he likes to be the center of attention.

Saw a clip on MSNBC from NC that had Trump saying that that the current polls are wrong. That there are other polls that have him far ahead of Joe Biden and higher than he was over Hillary Clinton.

Makes one wonder what drugs he took today.

Stations, including Faux cut away from it.
There was zero bump in polls from his "new tone".
He's likely hiding again.

Makes sense, wouldn’t you agree? If a person has lied to you five times about important stuff, why believe the sixth time is any different, even with a change in tone.

But, it doesn't think that way. Remember, it bragged upon the briefing "ratings".
PINO figured it was instant affirmation. It figured wrong.
No surprise there!
