Breaking the shared lie
It's EXTREMELY RARE to see a fact-gatherer who gets the facts right about Trump. The shared lie is nearly universal:
"Trump wanted to obstruct Fauci but (somehow) couldn't."
As always, one side says this was a bad thing, the other side says it was a good thing.
It's brazenly obvious nonsense. A president can fire or silence a bureaucrat whenever he wants. Trump was the fastest firer of all. He was a master of blackmail and extortion, learned from the Supreme Master Roy Cohn.
Trump DIDN'T fire or silence Fauci, and he didn't stop Carter Mecher. Therefore he was working WITH Fauci, not AGAINST Fauci.
Galen Franciscus breaks the Shared Lie and states the simple plain truth:
Lockdowns were THE great test of character in our time. Trump failed. Nothing else he did in his presidency matters now. Allowing the lockdowns defines him. Then when it was clear that his base disagreed with him, he tried to play both sides like a coward, rather than strongly using the power of his office to fight state governors who were violating basic constitutional rights.On the fucking dot. Trump ALWAYS plays both sides, and ALWAYS serves Deepstate. His chaos is precisely calculated to destroy civilization. Jeffrey Tucker, who has also broken out of the lie, sharpens the truth: I agree. It was worse than allowing; he pushed the button, and kept pushing it. Later: Well, I spoke too soon. Today Tucker is adopting the shared lie, assuming that Trump was out of the loop, didn't understand epidemics, and was "ill-served by advisors". Nope. Trump is never out of the power loop. Aside from all specifics, Trump is part of the Boomer generation. He's three years older than I am. His parents were rich but not isolated aristocrats. He lived in NYC and experienced the same REAL epidemics that the rest of us did. So he SHOULD have learned the same things about immunity, and SHOULD have been able to distinguish fake from real. He pushed the fake because that's where the POWER is.
