    A lot of people -- not just elected Republicans & conservative pundits but also much of the media & even many elected Democrats -- have gotten used to just ignoring Trump's bullshitting. They are old news, baked-in. But in this case, the BS will have a genuine real world impacthttps://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1235409660104015873 …

    Trump to Hannity on WHO saying coronavirus death rate is 3.4%: "I think the 3.4% number is really a false number. Now this is just my hunch, but based on a lot of conversations ... personally, I'd say the number is way under 1%." Astoundingly irresponsible. pic.twitter.com/uC9c03zX31

        Most people are inured to Trump & just tune this out. But a good 43% of the population support him, with about 30-35% intensely supporting him. These are the people who will take his remarks seriously + literally. It'll guide their health choices.https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1235411751950221312 …

        In this clip, Trump: 1. Denies WHO's coronavirus death rate based on “hunch" 2. Calls coronavirus "corona flu" 3. Suggests it's fine for people w/ Covid-19 to go to work 4. Compares coronavirus to "the regular flu," indicating he doesn't get the difference pic.twitter.com/uC9c03zX31

        Cultists follow their Glorious Leader and and get his message from Fox. Guy really wants his own followers to get sick? Interesting re-election strategy

        Problem being, there’s people that actually think Trump *isn’t* bullshitting.

        We need elected officials to aggressively challenge these kinds of insane misrepresentations of a real world crisis. But the second any of them do, the media is going to frame it as attacking Trump. They will both-sides the argument and it'll just muddle with all the other shit.

        Unfortunately, as with everything repub related, I think it's going to take some high profile trumper to come down with it for trumpers to figure out it's not a hoax. They don't seem to learn until it directly affects them. Even then they prob won't believe.
