A new ad campaign from the Democratic-aligned super PAC American Bridge, which has been sent my way, uses those words in just this way.

The group is set to air digital spots in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — the three “blue wall” states Trump cracked in 2016 — that document an extensive array of times that Trump minimized coronavirus, falsely downplayed the threat it posed and absurdly hyped his own handling of it.
Here’s the 60-second version of the spot:

Opinion | Call Trump’s News Conferences What They Are: Propaganda

We may as well be watching newsreels approved by the Soviet Politburo. We’re witnessing the falsification of history in real time. When Donald Trump, under the guise of social distancing, told the White House press corps on Thursday that he ought to get rid of 75 to 80 percent of them — reserving the privilege only for those he liked — it may have been chilling, but it wasn’t surprising. He wants to thin out their ranks until there’s only Pravda in the room

So? Any politician winds up having their own words used by the opposition, whether they are accurate or taken out of context. It is hardly a new thing that donnie alone has had to encounter.

There are so many words to choose from. My recent favorite was roughly

Many people have died that have never died before.

It’s not going to be affordable for many people who are insured, either. Many people are underinsured - technically they have employer based insurance, but their cost sharing is so high they can’t use it.

Something about this is setting off my skepticism alarm. About 40% are in the Fox/Trump cult, so this number seems high. Are they calling landlines again?

If the poll was taken a day or so after he announced the government is to send everyone a cheque for a thousand dollars or two, that might explain the approval rating.

In a couple of weeks' time, I fear the picture will be very different -- I say, "I fear" not because of any concern over Trump's approval ratings but because I fear the -- now, sadly, inevitable -- consequences of his misjudgment and bungling that will cause people to change their views.

I saw a report on this on TYT yesterday. How can anyone, even Rs, think his response is better than a rock on this?

All of these ignorant people who don't think this a real thing and continue gathering and taking no precautions will be among the first hit. The phrase "Darwin Awards" comes to mind.

I was wondering that too. I wonder what it would be now that the middle class (who can mostly work from home) have been proposed to be given more than poor people, many of whom lost their jobs.

While the government should be doing the right thing it might actually be up to us to send the help where it is needed. FU donnie and fiends.

Actually they might not be the victims. Being young and healthy they most likely will not even know they caught the disease and will happily spread it on.

Old story (the basic plot, not the actual news).

Intelligence officials were warning Trump about a pandemic as early as January, but they 'couldn't get him to do anything about it'

"The system was blinking red," a US official told The Washington Post, but Trump refused to take action against the coronavirus.
