EuphoricVibez 9 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/13/politics/trump-coronavirus-defense-fauci/index.html "President Donald Trump lashed out at criticism of his handling of the coronavirus crisis during a grievance-fueled appearance from the White House that featured a propaganda-like video he said was produced by his aides. The appearance only affirmed the impression that some of Trump's chief concerns amid the global public health disaster are how his performance is viewed in the media and whether he's being fairly judged. He clearly did not believe that was the case Monday. He stepped to the podium armed with a video meant to frame his response in a positive light after his initial handling of the crisis has come under increasing scrutiny. After it aired, Trump grew increasingly irate as reporters probed the time line of his response, claiming the criticism wasn't fair and that he'd handled the outbreak effectively. "Everything we did was right," Trump insisted after an extended tirade against negative coverage. Pressed later about his authority to reopen parts of the country, Trump delivered an eyebrow-raising statement asserting absolute control over the country. "When somebody is president of the United States, your authority is total," he said. He later added he would issue reports backing up his claim, which legal experts say isn't supported by the Constitution. Before the President's extended defense of himself, Dr. Anthony Fauci stepped to the podium to clarify comments he'd made a day earlier about the administration's handling of the global coronavirus pandemic, a striking show of reconciliation following a day of questions about his future on the White House task force. Fauci said he was responding to a "hypothetical question" during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" program on Sunday when he said more could have been done to save American lives. He claimed his response "was taken as a way that maybe somehow something was at fault here" and said his remark about "pushback" inside the administration to some of his recommendations was a poor choice of words. The episode capped a stretch where Fauci's position in the administration seemed tenuous. Trump on Sunday evening retweeted a message critical of Fauci's comments on CNN along with the hashtag #FireFauci..." Oh, wow, I have no words for this.

Bt1 5,213 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Human rights and democracy are details these days. You shouldn't care who the "dictator" is. You should be worried that a "dictator" exists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
