CSI: American Carnage (Friday, May 22, 2020)
WASHINGTON – Marine One thwackas in the background. Donald stands before the assembled press. A reporter shouts out, Sir, how long do you expect to take hydroxychloroquine? Donald says, I think it’s another day. I had a two-week regimen of hydroxychloroquine. And I’ve taken it, I think, just about two weeks. I think it’s another day. And I’m still here. I’m still here. And I tested very positively in a — in another sense. So, this morning….The reporter says, Negatively? Donald says, Yeah. I tested positively toward negative, right? So, no, I tested perfectly this morning, meaning — meaning I tested negative. But that’s a way of saying it: positively toward the negative. Reporters nod and move on to the Trump death count. Donald follows along. This is his territory. He says, I was so early. I was earlier than anybody thought. I put a ban on people coming in from China. Everybody fought me on that. They didn’t want it. Nancy Pelosi, a month later, was dancing in the streets of San Francisco in Chinatown so that people wouldn’t believe what’s happening. And I don’t even blame that. But I was way early. Sir, a reporter asks, That was nearly 100,000 dead Americans ago. The Columbia study says you could have saved 36,000 lives by imposing social distancing just a week earlier. Donad, annoyed, says, Columbia is an institution that’s very liberal. It’s a — I think it’s a just a political hit job, if you want to know the truth. – Friday, May 22, 2020
