Trump’s Red Meat Distraction Action
When the presidency is on fire, drag Dr. Anthony Fauci back before Congress and tell MAGA to start chewing.
Donald Trump’s approval ratings are sinking. Americans are angry about higher prices, expensive gasoline, a stumbling economy, and his confused, costly war with Iran.
Clearly, this was the perfect time to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci again.
Welcome to Trump’s Red Meat Distraction Action, the emergency Republican procedure used whenever voters begin noticing that the president is failing. Toss Fauci onto the grill, summon Rand Paul, and hope the base forgets what it paid for groceries.
Fauci is 85 years old. He advised seven presidents, led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly four decades, helped fight the AIDS epidemic, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from George W. Bush.
Naturally, MAGA considers him more dangerous than Vladimir Putin.
Senator Rand Paul subpoenaed Fauci so Republicans could perform their favorite COVID ceremony: shouting accusations, ignoring answers, and pretending a respected infectious disease specialist created a worldwide pandemic solely to inconvenience Donald Trump.
Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly because Paul’s hearing had all the fairness and intellectual integrity of a parking lot interrogation conducted by men selling stolen televisions.
Then Senator Bernie Moreno demanded, “Who the f*ck do you think you were?”
Well, senator, he was the medical expert standing beside Trump while Trump discussed injecting disinfectant and shining powerful lights inside the human body.
Fauci said nothing.
Smart man.
The hearing was never really about public health, accountability, or the origins of COVID. It was about feeding Trump’s supporters another familiar villain while the administration’s actual failures pile up outside the hearing room.
For a few precious hours, MAGA could stop thinking about inflation, war, casualties, gas prices, and Trump’s miserable polling.
The dangerous old man was back.
No, not Trump.
The other one.
Men running an Interrogation on a parking with a black and white tv on the offing. (Your phrasing was much better but the image has so much truth in it) who are these people?
The Mayo Clinic site has Trump & minions down pat here, at least I wd describe them this way:
Symptoms of 🔹antisocial personality disorder include repeatedly:
Ignoring right and wrong.
🔻Telling lies to take advantage of others.
Not being sensitive to or respectful of others.
Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or pleasure.
* Having a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated.
Having problems with the law, including criminal behavior.
Being hostile, aggressive, violent or threatening to others.
* Feeling no guilt about harming others.
Doing dangerous things with no regard for the safety of self or others.
Being irresponsible and failing to fulfill work or financial responsibilities.
* outstanding characteristics, in my opinion.
I pity those suffering the results of this administration’s collective/ Trump-led antisocial personality disorder syndrome/ Modus Operandi … I will soon be a financial sufferer myself, as a Canuk, but mercifully we have no mortgage, are retired & are led by an intellectually serious PM.
🔹That’s part of Trump’s problem with Canada, he’s jealous of its leaders!
Youthful beauty (Trudeau) followed by serious intellect & international respect (Carney).
— nevertheless, the anger & anxiety caused to me & many others, by Trump /GOP/MAGA & increasingly, assorted influential international criminal cohorts … is totally unnecessary.
— ‘What price hath peace?’ Ask Trump & Chumps … they seem to ‘know the price of everything and the value of nothing’!
