Ryan Lizza of Politico asked the question during Tuesday’s media briefing.
"What does the White House view, as having by election day, what does the White House view as the number of dead Americans where you can say that you successfully defeated this pandemic?" asked Lizza. “Is there a number?”
"Lizza put the same question to McEnany again.
"So when voters go to the polls in November, and they want to judge the president on his response to this pandemic, what is the number of dead Americans that they should tolerate, where they can argue that yes, he successfully defeated the pandemic?"
Good, solid, unbiased question.
He’s trying to play gotcha with the wrong press secretary.
So we’re just going to pretend Trump never talked about administration success measured by death toll?
“If we could stay substantially under the 100,000, which was the original projection, I think we all did a very good job — even though it’s a lot of people,” President Donald Trump said at Wednesday’s coronavirus briefing. “The big projection being 2.2 million people would die if we did nothing!” he said. “That was another decision we made. Close it up. That was a big decision that we made.
What reason would people have to not “believe” the “media”?
The word “lie” doesn’t need to appear for some to insinuate it.
For example If I said “I don’t believe Guvnah”, then my reasoning can only be that I think you are a liar or lying (I don’t, just an example). Otherwise what reason would I have not to believe you?
