We already covered the Trump interview with Don Bongino (Depending upon publishing times one may appear before the other), in which Trump said, “Can you imagine what they would’ve done to me if they had this massive attack from the corona virus…”
“Well, first of all, could you imagine if I were president right now and we had this massive attack from the coronavirus, you know, now they like to call it, they have new names and they have other new names, but it’s exactly what we had, we had the same thing.
Actually, it is called the delta variant of the exact same virus, only this one is MORE virulent, more contagious, hits younger people, and has a higher mortality rate than the one Trump himself had under his responsibility, but Trump did such a terrible job in preparing the country, marshaling resources, and encouraging best medical practices, we ended up losing about 500,000 that can be directly attributed to Trump. The death toll now sits at close to 620,000.
But that is the point, he just entirely crossed himself trying to puff himself up. He had so little idea as to what he was talking about that people were left speechless.
“If that were me, they would say ‘what a horrible thing, what a horrible job.’ These are numbers in some cases that are equivalent to what it was, but we don’t hear that.”
As Rawstory notes:
Critics were quick to note that the former president did little during the early days of COVID-19 which led to over 600,000 deaths as his administration bungled the response — in sharp contrast to the pro-active work being done by President Joe Biden’s administration.
Rawstory misses the point. Trump is saying “they have new names for it now” – yes, it’s called delta, and it is much stronger and easier to catch. And yet Trump somehow mumbled it in a way to make HIS failures sure to look just as bad, like he lost the ability to even track how to make himself look good.

It appears more likely every time he speaks, that TFG has COVID brain. Someone who has influence with him needs to get him to a neurologist stat! He had COVID, so chances are high that it affected his brain. You don't need a medical degree to see that something is very wrong. https://t.co/4mJdmcxyLb
