If there’s one thing Donald Trump both loves, and loves to hate, it’s numbers. Poll numbers, economic numbers, stock market numbers and, of course, crowd size numbers. 

When it comes to numbers, Trump is quick to embrace the positive while assigning blame to the negative. Trump is absolutely obsessed with numbers.

Not Fake News writer Chris Waldron takes a look at that in today’s podcast, Playing the Numbers. 

Take  Listen.

Yesterday the New York Times reported that Vice President Mike Pence told governors in a phone call that really, the coronavirus is under control, and that increased numbers of cases is just because more testing is being done.

And then, he said the economy is booming back and everything is fine. He fed them the party line because Trump is desperate to at least make people think that it’s all good, even though it’s not.

What came to mind was Mad Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman and his old line, “What Me Worry?”

That would be funny if it wasn’t so serious…in fact, deadly serious.  

That’s the topic of today’s podcast, so take a listen to “The Two Big Lies” from Not Fake News.biz.

Why is it that so many people refuse to wear face coverings when they are out in public? What’s up with that? Don’t they understand that covid 19 is deadly and that it spreads easily from one person to another? And that you don’t have to be sick to infect other people if they get too close to you? Or that they could infect you?

Anymore, when I go to the store, wearing my mask, and I look at the people who aren’t wearing one, the first thing that goes through my mind is: “They’re Trumpers.”
 
Susan Hutchinson has some comments about that in today’s podcast, based on her blog on Not Fake News.biz.
