By now, many of us know that Trump acted with a perfectly normal response in February/March and that literally everyone from media to corporations downplayed this thing. Now they're retroactively trying to say they didn't.
One criticism of Woodward's release was how long he waited for it. I am willing to speculate that he wanted to release it somewhere between late September and mid-October, but there was a problem: we're very close to the vaccine and public opinion about COVID is becoming less emotional.
They sat on this story with this plan likely until BLM came along and saw POTUS' approval ratings drop, so they told themselves "no need to panic, let this hurt him." But now the approval ratings are back to normal, the DNC is losing major demographics in battleground states, and the RNC is pulling ahead in metrics like voter registrations. BLM is now hurting the DNC and they needed something else.
The daily onslaught of hit pieces on POTUS shows they're in full panic salvage mode, make no mistake. The vaccine is closer than they thought and race-baiting had limited results. The media will ask about this for a while, but the people who are stupid enough to blame Trump for the virus are already cucked.
I don't see undecided voters caring about this for two months. Those voters are much more concerned about their families, their children's education, their jobs, their homes, their taxes, and their guns.
They honestly believe they are reporting to goldfish. It's a bit like watching Star Wars Episode IX, "if we move the story along fast enough, nobody will notice the errors."
(Science trivia: goldfish actually have very good memories, but the stereotype of them having short memories works here).
The fact that they sat on this for months is the tell.
The story about Trump calling dead soldiers losers didn't work, too many people flat out denied it happened. So they just launched the next torpedo. When this one fails, they will launch the next, then the next, EcT.
Of course the TDS tards are eating it up. They will buy anything that promotes the "Orange Man bad" narrative.
thankfully the dims keep underestimating President Trump 🙏
