What's coming, per MSNBC at about 5:30 pm.

Trump pressers without doctors, who will be henceforth mostly invisible.

Not briefings by the docs with their sound advice and factual info without Trump and his deadly bad advice, lies, and bullshit, as we were led even this morning to expect, but the exact opposite.

Business leaders and economists and the like as guest speakers, even when the topics are testing and provision of PPE and ventilators and the like.

Bragging about what a great job they are doing and will do.

None of those whiny doctors bitching about what is missing, what is needed but not available, what is still, after two months, not happening, and how many people all those delays and shortfalls are killing.

I can't imagine anyone told him this would be a good idea because I can't imagine anyone would have believed it would be a good idea.

So far today (5:54 pm) it's been one punk corporate asshole after another - about 10 so far, from Rite Aide, Walgreen's, and various producers and retailers - praising his own employees and what a great job they are doing and will be doing and gee we're swell and it's all going to be swell and great.

Enormous pressure and governors yielding rollbacks without testing, since Trump's administration still insists they are not going to enable national testing at levels the medicos say are necessary for the rollback to be safe.

So, he's going to do what I said he would weeks ago.

The docs have been pushed off stage and he's going to do everything he can to force the governors to open up completely blind so neither the public health officials nor anyone else will see the immediate, huge, deadly impact of going along with the stupid.

Up to now, networks have resisted calls to deny live coverage to Trump's daily Coronavirus briefings that were really almost entirely campaign events and propaganda fests for Bozo's endless irate bullshit on the plea that America needed to hear from the medicos.

And so now?

When it's just brag, lie, and blame?

He kept Birx, growing ever more fully into her medical cheerleader role!
