I wonder how many hundreds or perhaps thousands of deaths would be prevented if Donald Trump 1) made a point of wearing a mask in public and 2) emphasized that Americans should listen to public health experts about the benefits of wearing a mask.
Tweet below from Trump this morning. The bounty story has been confirmed by several US media organizations as well as media in the UK, which of course has military personnel as part of the coalition in Afghanistan.
Trump is denying that the Russian bounties happened. Why? Because he’s compromised by Russia. And of course, he’s known about this for a long time, hasn’t done anything about it, and won’t do anything about it, because Putin is his daddy.
Trump:
“The Russia Bounty story is just another made up by Fake News tale that is told only to damage me and the Republican Party. The secret source probably does not even exist, just like the story itself. If the discredited NY Times has a source, reveal it. Just another HOAX!”
