Weird transition, Trump mentioned the enormous amount of deaths and then paused ,went into something

about "someone a long time ago" being at fault. I actually think he had wandered off script, realized he should not have mentioned the enormous death toll and tried to recover. I assume he was trying to blame Obama. Very clumsy.
i can't watch more than about five minutes of his crap, so maybe I am off base. Seemed weird.

These briefings have been like The Twilight Zone meets Groundhog Day in the Outer Limits all along.

involved in their decision to not do what they were supposed to to contain the virus, or someone they work with. He's such a blabbermouth it's hard to imagine he would have been trusted with hard information, but there would have been suggestions of what direction they wanted him to go.

People like to blame him as if he's all alone, but the congressional records will show Democrats' efforts to take action early in January and the Republican senate's refusals and delays, even some appearing in public and telling people not to worry while piles of evidence show they knew the truth and what needed to be done all along.
