"Other things have never had a vaccine so I don't want people to think this is all dependent on a vaccine."
Things?
He could have said "diseases," "epidemics," or "pandemics," but the best Trump could come up with is "things?"
Trump then offered several fantasies about how many Americans actually had the virus. It takes less than five seconds to find the answer on a computer, but then he is speaking to his fans and that could be the problem.
According to
United States Coronavirus: 1,482,968 Cases and 88,475 Deaths - Worldometer, 1,482,863 have had the virus and 88,470 Americans have died from it. Trump didn't seem overly concerned about those numbers. In fact, he avoids them.
Then he lied.
Blaring truck horns intruded on Trump's performance in the Rose Garden. He claimed that this was the sound of a pro-Trump protest.
"And you hear that outside, that beautiful sound -- those are truckers that are with us all the way. They are protesting in favor of President Trump, as opposed to against. There's hundreds of trucks out there, and that's the sign of love. Not the sign of your typical protest. So I want to thank our great truckers. They like me and I like them. It's almost a celebration, in a way."
Good Lord! And this man is our President?
The truckers who have lined streets near the White House since May 1 are indeed protesters, not people holding any kind of celebration -- and they are protesting a variety of issues affecting their jobs, not protesting in favor of Trump.
