TRUMP: "Everybody wants to go back to work ... the sooner we go back, the better the lift we're going to get." (74 percent of voters actually support more stringent social distancing.) Note how Trump also subtly blames blue state officials for having more coronavirus cases

Hannity and Trump are now playing the whataboutism game by bashing Obama and Biden for their response to the H1N1 flu -- as if that's a defense of Trump's mishandling of the coronavirus

Bill Gates on @CNN right now making a ton of sense. Why are we not bringing people like this into the government response? Why is Trump not convening a Manhattan project of all the great minds in this country to "work" this problem?

This the extortion tactic he's playing. You need 30k ventilators? I need those criminal cases dropped....or NY dies. Pathetic the US media won't call it what it is. They may not be fake news, BUT they're certainly cowardly with the truth.
