Is it going to be correcting/walkback day?

Or is it going to be the blame game today?

Whatever it will in the next few minutes…

Remember in November 2020…
To disinfect America from the Covidiot Bleacher IMPeetus!

AND can someone in the WH Press please ask the Spendo-IMPeetus about the CBO est. of $3.7Trillion?

The agency predicted real GDP will decline 5.6% in 2020 and then grow 2.8% in 2021. But economic activity for 2021 would still be 6.7% below a projection the CBO issued in late January.

And what about the $2Trillion Trump Tax Cut for the Rich which projected 3-6% growth rate? Where is the Spendo-IMPeetus going to magic those growth rate?

Nah, it just didn’t get posted until the moment he started. Probably waiting to see if he bothered to show up at all.

No mention of 50K dead. No mention of former FDA Commissioner dead of Covid-45. No mention of Warren’s brother or Water’s sister.

Has Waters sister died? Haven’t seen an update.

Testing for a new disease. But didn’t Trump say he got broken ones from the previous administrations?

Right, the FDA didn’t give a shit about HIV tests for a decade.

He’s sending ventilators to Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Indonesia.

Yesterday he said that heat and sunlight kill the virus, so these hot sunny countries shouldn’t even have problem.

How inconvenient…

Why does the head of the FDA hate America. He’s not wearing a lapel flag.
