Look at this. Here is a NAMED source, who has 1st hand knowladge.
So you cant use the “unamed sources” or “Indirect source” arguement. So what is next on list.
Then there will be “What could he have done differently” and she gave a direct answer. From article
"The administration, she said, missed months to slow the spread of the virus because the president and other key administration officials refused to embrace masks, even as members of the task force and health officials “repeatedly begged” Trump to do so. Trump allies note that many of the health officials first advised against masks before advising that they be used.
“The mask issue was a critical one. If we would have gotten ahead on that and stressed the importance of it, we could have slowed the spread significantly,” Troye said. “It was detrimental that it became a politicized issue. It still lingers today.”
So what argument will be used…
Oh here it is - “Disgruntled ex employee” and “deep stater”.
Trump can not fail - he can only be failed.
EDIT - Since WaPo is behind a paywall - Here is another link
It is very apparent to so many of us outside of the Trump circle that this man cares only about himself and his own lusts. He has never cared about anyone in his entire life other than himself. So it is not shocking to learn, over and over and over again, from people on the inside who have worked directly with him, that he is flatly incompetent and incapable of handling the responsibilities of this job.
What remains shocking, is that there are still so many people who refuse to accept these truths. Regardless of the numbers of people that come out and warn us all what a danger he is to our nation, and how he literally holds responsibility for many of the lost lives, some of these folks simply will never care; or are too insulated in their comfort zone to acknowledge reality.
That is why there is nothing left to do but turn out in droves and out-number these people on election day. To swarm them with sheer volume. And then to never, ever allow them near the seat of power again.
One might rightly characterize the objects of those Trumpian lusts as profoundly anti-life, given how self-destructive they have been over the course of his public life: they’ve destroyed his businesses, his marriages, his reputation, his acuity, his physical health and his chance to claim any human decency.
Admit that mostly maskless, Floyd protests were super-spreader events that ultimately infected millions and killed tens of thousands. Then we can talk.
Trump. 100% Trump. All day Trump “Liberate MI!” “Liberate WI”
“I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know,” he said. “Somehow, I don’t see it for myself.” - Trump
Trump retweeted a photo in May mocking former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee, for wearing a face mask.
Trump. Over and Over and Over again -Trump.
They were not maskless -I went to ones in DC. It was almost 100% mask wearing. BUt i have no idea if they were super spreader events or not.
Warren Buffet once said, “When the tide goes out, you can see who was skinny dipping” and boy was Trump butt ass naked and in over his head. This pandemic has shown that he and his people have no idea how to properly run government when we needed it the most.
