I hate how Coronavirus has become political warfare. 

When summer is over it's gonna spike again. I mean, it's already spiking.

So this is another prime example he’s trying to do the following:

- Get everyone sick, or killed depending on how people’s immune systems respond to infection.

- Downplay the severity of COVID-19 because his bumbling leadership mismanaged the entire crisis here, so now he wants to find ways to either reduce the numbers reported of increased cases or just pretend that it doesn’t even exist. Don’t be surprised if down the line he starts to claim that the 110,000+ deaths are fake news created by the “radical left” and “left media” to control people.

- Falsely claim the virus went away so that this doesn’t crumble his chances at getting re-elected

- Use this as a means to pin blame and guilt on others for the horrible mismanagement (derivative of option B)

- E) All of the Above

While I can understand the administration’s desire to move towards PPPs, this is not the time to be doing so... especially with the current resurgence of cases.

God that's such a horror scenario. I even doubt Trump will go that low but time will tell. I hope that won't happen. Then the US citizens had to have extra self-measures by their own conscience to not make it worse, I mean we cannot blame all to Trump.

Two possibilities:

1) He genuinely thinks, as he has said, that testing causes more cases, as opposed to merely identifying them.

2) He's doing this to "own the libs" and appease his science-ignoring base.

Either choice is contemptible.

I can kind of see where he's coming from....what's the point in continuing to test if a whole surge of people were just exposed due to the protests and all the things that have reopened? It's obviously not about containment anymore. As long as people can still get tested if they start to feel seriously sick at a doctor or hospital.

So the reason why I brought this up—and I have to find the clip—but a few weeks back Stephen Colbert on his show was saying Trump’s campaign manager had documents that either leaked or provided to someone who reported that was going to be part of the strategy. And honestly we can see signs of it; his last two rallies he insisted the virus was going away and that a vaccine would be available soon. It may not be a direct statement of “the deaths are fake,” but his actions are enough to indicate they’re pretending none of this happened.
