If Donald Trump appears to be repeating himself at every press briefing recently, it’s because he’s literally reading the same script over and over again.
The United States is in crisis as the coronavirus pandemic continues raging uncontrollably across the country. More than 5 million Americans are infected with the virus and nearly 170,000 have died.
We are entitled to frequent updates from the government pertaining to this pandemic, but Trump is apparently not even taking that seriously either because he’s been reading virtually the same information off a script at multiple briefings, some of it in a desperate effort to demonstrate that his administration is doing something.
As proof, The Recount put together a video of Trump reading parts of the script next to himself. And it’s quite damning.

This is why health officials should take the lead during this pandemic. Americans are not being properly informed if they are only getting the same bullsh*t over and over again. This is Trump trying to make himself look good instead of providing Americans with the information they need.
That’s why Americans expressed outrage and mocked Trump.
And he still has to read it 😂

They have not ever taken the COVID situation seriously and it is reflected in the manner in which they regurgitate information. This is embarrassing

Breaks out the same binder everyday, still has to read because he has no idea what’s going on

America needs a president who doesn’t need to rely on a daily script. In fact, America needs a president who will let the health experts take the lead during a public health crisis. Feeding us the same lines day after day is insulting and proves Trump is incapable of leading. It may also indicate his mental decline as well since he appears to be unable to retain the information he is repeating. Regardless, this nightmare needs to be ended in November.
