Trump says a lot of dumb things, and most of the time, makes very little sense anyway. Why people even listen and expect anything different is beyond me.
People give him this excuse like it's some kind of pass all the time. It's Trump, he lies and doesn't know or use facts. Let Trump be Trump...
Well that's okay if you are talking about the idiot at the bar who desperately wants to fit in to the point that everything is an exaggeration or defensive posture to try and make himself look good/normal...
But they elected this fool as President of the United States! The office demands more and demands accountability! Nobody holds Trump accountable, NOBODY! Well now we are going to see the obvious flaw in that logic play out in a freakin' pandemic! And this isn't a we/them/left/right thing because this virus is apolitical.
