This approach would work on the soft leaning Trump supporters but it would have no dent on the specific subset that somehow believes he was the greatest leader in all of history.
A good example of this type of individual is Larry Schwiekart.
Larry is actually decently versed in history and he still completely worships Trump.
These people would be best described as cultists. They actually believe Trump is a genius with 200 IQ.
They don't operate in reality and they cannot be won over.
Yup. I still think Trump did a comparatively good job, and even still has value - I wish he didn't, and we could all move on - but his ego is insane and unhealthy, and the man has no loyalty, and few principles. I do think Trump likes America, but Trump's primary concern is and always will be Trump. He can't be trusted.
Yes. She admits to a lot of lying and her book never mentions an exit strategy, so in her ideal world, lockdowns would still be happening.
I devised a work-around for the governor’s reports I was then writing. Instead of including those recommendations in the common bulleted list, I’d include them in the pandemic summary and state-specific recommendations in the governor’s reports, where they wouldn’t be so obvious.
These weekly reports couldn’t go out on Monday without administration approval. Week by week Marc’s office began providing line-by-line edits. After the heavily edited documents were returned to me, I’d reinsert what they had objected to, but place it in those different locations. I’d also reorder and restructure the bullet points so the most salient—the points the administration objected to most—no longer fell at the start of the bullet points. I shared these strategies with the three members of the data team also writing these reports. Our Saturday and Sunday report-writing routine soon became: write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit.
Though Birx was not personally close to the President, she was able to develop a close relationship with this White House in part because Trump campaign official Matt Mowers served as her chief of staff for nearly two years, according to a source familiar with her situation.
Keep an eye on this fucking guy.
This wasn’t the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in. Immediately after the Atlas-influenced revised CDC testing guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield. He confirmed my suspicions: he had disagreed with the guidance, but had felt pressured by HHS and the White House to post it. Also, many on his staff in Atlanta were still comfortable prioritizing symptomatic individuals. Even at this late point, eight months into the pandemic, many at both the White House and the CDC still refused to see that silent spread played a prominent role in viral spread and that it started with social gatherings, especially among the younger adults. We had to find a way around them. Recognizing the damage to public health the Scott Atlas–driven testing guidance could do and was doing with testing rates dropping across the country, Bob and I agreed to quietly rewrite the guidance and post it to the CDC website. We would not seek approval. Because we were both quite busy, it might take a week or two, but we were committed to subverting the dangerous message that limiting testing was the right thing to do.
I wonder if Pence got his own briefings through Operation Warp Speed? Was he also lacking candor? Seems like he remained stoic and aloof during the emerging events.
I don’t think he was tricked into lockdowns, but he was tricked into a false understanding of the severity of the virus. That was perfect for him because he loved being able to act like a white knight riding in to save everyone from it.
I supported Trump, but the left was never wrong about his massive ego. It’s even more evident with his actions lately. The thing is when the choice is a massive ego that wants to better the country and any of the most corrupt scum of trash coming out of the DNC, of course I’m going to choose the ego, because at least it doesn’t want to actively destroy everything.
Trump never implemented any lockdowns.
If I was. Republican in the primary debates this is what I’d attack Trump with. That he handed the country over to Fauci
This will likely be what DeSantis mainly attacks Trump on. The other thing will be Trump's poor personnel selection skills.
I think this two pronged strategy will be effective with many Republican voters.
It obviously will have no effect on the die-hard Trump 2024ers who unfortunately worship this man.

Who didn't fire Fauci and Birx?
Trump
Who held the original national press conference about only 15 days to slow the spread?
Trump
You Trump 2024ers cannot run away from this truth.
Trump let Fauci and Birx play him and he lacked the guts to fire them.
Handing the country over to Fauci and authorizing Operation Warpspeed was the worst part of Trump's entire tenure in the Presidency.
Trump's conduct since March of 2020 destroyed his legacy.
Also he should’ve invoked the insurrection act during Floyd riots. Especially after the stupid mayors did nothing so as not to appear racist
I love how Trump supporters try to make excuses for his bad policies.
Trump had strongly socialist tendencies as long as "dear leader" was him.
Trump also aggressively watches polls & the "fake news" and tries to get on the popular side of every issue.

Who was in charge of Operation Warp Speed?
Did Birx claim to have lied to Trump in her book?
Was Trump surrounded by subversive agents?

Fantastic breakdown thank you.

Matt Mowers ran for NH Congressional District 1 in 2022 and he lost in the primary to Karoline Leavitt.
Karoline Leavitt then lost the general election to Chris Pappas
Mowers might run again for this house seat in 2024. He must be stopped again.
Mowers is responsible for promoting one half of the nightmare Birx/Fauci duo.
