As the head of the trump cult, trump should have realized that when he downplays the virus, millions of mini-trumps make their brains conform to his and start parroting whatever he said, which we now know he didn’t even believe himself. Evidence of parroting is all over this thread and elsewhere on YWN. “It’s less than the flu.“ “Masks aren’t important; wear one if you want, but I don’t see why I should.” “Liberate Michigan” and other states from lockdowns. “Health officials change their minds all the time, they don’t know anything themselves.” “Hydroxy is the wonder drug, they won’t approve it because they’re against trump.” So what should trump have done differently? For starters, how about not lie to the people who take him seriously.
