Prior approval

So Pence’s press secretary is filtering what we get to learn from the government about this potential pandemic. They’ll be sending it to Fox News for approval next.

    Isn’t it denial, lying, and stonewalling in China that turned this into a bigger problem in the first place?

    How could anything possibly go wrong?

    I would argue that the ongoing disaster in Puerto Rico was the first crisis he did not create but bungled the response to. Puerto Rico still does not have full power, plus it has had to deal with earthquakes in the aftermath of the hurricane.

    Claire, are you suggesting Trump can’t create hurricanes? Why, he has the biggest, windiest, most powerful hurricanes. They all are Category 5 – no wasting time with puny, loser, Category 4 hurricanes. In fact, Trump created hurricanes are so yuuuge, they are going to have to invent new categories to describe them. To hell with Category 5! Let’s go straight to Category forty eleven! Just like Trump can go straight from WWII into WWVI (but only with Bolton’s help).

    To be fair, the Trump administration treats everything as a PR problem. When all you have is a hammer…

    Well honestly, I know FTFY is a joke but it can be an awfully pointless one. The fact that the Trump administration treats everything as a PR problem is both relevant and interesting, while the “fixes” are not.
