      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

          Any chance you back up that rather dubious claim in the first tfour words of your tweet?

          What fascinates me is that a mishandling of the coronavirus will disproportionately affect the Republican's base of support--primarily the elderly. And yet they're more committed to protecting Trump than protecting even the base of people who support him.

          That's how illusory belief systems work. The circle of faith is more important than family. It offers an endorphin rush at lower emotional cost.

          Johnson does his Princess Diana act – except there were no coronavirus patients in that hospital.

          Observation: For a supposed germaphobe, Dear Leader is surprisingly nonchalant about viral transmission. I would argue that this clear evidence of his disdain for people who aren't him. Germs are not only for other people, they're FINE for other people.
