“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” was originally released by Nina Simone in 1964. The best known rock version was by the Animals from 1964. Elvis Costello covered it in 1986.

Trump lies about the medical equipment stockpile
from the thread above: “Turns out that the stockpile wasn’t replenished due to the Tea Party blocking Obama’s funding requests, coupled with sequestration and Budget Control Act that prevented a full replenishment.”
Conservatives are pushing to reopen the economy
This is premature. More people could get sick in a second wave of the virus. Trump will accuses anyone who opposed reopening of doing it to hurt his re-election bid. For Trump, everything is about him and everything is political.
from the article “Their push has faced resistance from public health experts, who warn of potentially disastrous consequences should Americans resume daily routines without a clear national plan for doing so safely, creating an enormous power struggle within the Trump administration.”
Oil prices will increase
Trump was instrumental in a new agreement to lower oil production which will increase gas prices. This will hurt American consumers at a time when many have lower incomes because of the coronavirus. Why benefits? Trump’s oil baron donors and his pals Putin and the Saudis.
Trump’s economic council
Like the rest of his government, it’s all white and mostly men.
Fox airs misinformation comparing coronavirus to the flu
People will listen to this crap. They won’t be cautious enough. They could make themselves and some of the rest of us sick.
Republicans treat elected Democrats like unelected officials
The Trump cult is quick to bash officials or judges they don’t agree with as “unelected”. Let’s look aat how they treat elected officials if they are Democrats:
1) Many of them treated President Obama as unelected because of the fake birther conspiracy theory endorsed by Trump
2) In North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin, voters elected Democratic governors and Republican-majority legislatures. The legislatures then tried to reduce the power of the governors.
3) The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was passed by elected legislators in the House and Senate and signed by an elected president. Yet, Republicans never accepted that. They tried and failed to overturn it in Congress. Now, they’re trying in the courts.
Governors, not Trump, will decide when the economy reopens
Trump didn’t close the economy. The decisions were made by the states. The governors will be the ones to make the reopening decisions, too. Trump is wrong in his tweets.
Will Trump fire Fauci?
I think he will. Fauci tells the truth.
