Words Matter and Behavior Matters

At what point does one's choice of words and behavior make it impossible to carry out a good agenda.

October 2020 A tweet said: “Covid, Covid, Covid is the unified chant of the Fake News Lamestream Media. They will talk about nothing else until November 4th., when the Election will be (hopefully!) over. Then the talk will be how low the death rate is, plenty of hospital rooms, & many tests of young people.” This tweet was very misleading and dangerous:

365,000 US Covid Deaths (CDC)
132,000 US Covid Current Hospitalizations (Atlantic)
4,000 US Covid Deaths on Thursday Jan 7, 2020 (the Covid Tracking Project)

This was not done to calm people. It sounds like marketing 101: don't admit anything bad. The problem is, these are people's lives (deaths/sicknesses).

There are unintended consequences to pushing false narratives as the leader of the free world.
This legacy of death and destruction will be with our country forever.
