      The only way Trump’s staff will get him to stop talking like this is to point out that it increases the likelihood that his base will get sick and die and therefore lose the election in November.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

      They seem to have decided -- not just Trump but his team -- that letting the pandemic run unchecked is a smaller danger than letting the stock market take a hit.

          It’s almost as if his current White House staff matches the president’s short attention span or sonething. https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1235361474861809664?s=21 …https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1235361474861809664 …

          I’ll believe that Trump is growing into the presidency when his staff stops talking about him like a toddler. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-coronavirus-effort-undermined-by-mixed-messages-and-falsehoods/2020/03/03/d744c406-5d75-11ea-9055-5fa12981bbbf_story.html … [This is the 1243rd tweet in the #ToddlerinChief thread.] pic.twitter.com/oGSoD7QCoA

          Yeah, i don't think there's a decision his team makes that Trump isn't on board of or made to think he invented. But that seems right! Biden bubble probably gave him confidence to do this.

          Only problem with this hypothesis is the stock market is giving him a clear signal that he very much fucking up

          I think that is all Trump can grasp. The virus is just too intangible (in the sense he is not personally affected) for him to grasp.

          It is simple. Try to limit testing as much as possible so nobody knows how widespread it is. That is the extent of their work on Coronavirus.

          I think the stock market probably takes a hit anyway, but if they were to pull it off they might be right.
