No doubt a hopeful message to Trump’s cult, in line with their expectations of reality:
“It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,” Trump told attendees at an African American History Month reception in the White House Cabinet Room. The World Health Organization says the virus has “pandemic potential” and medical experts have warned it will spread in the US.
The President added that “from our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.” [CNN]
Miracles are part of reality for the evangelicals, so when their cult leader claims one day a miracle will come down and save them from death, they’ll believe it. Since Trump didn’t make the mistake of saying it’ll happen next week, he’s protected.
Now he just has to string them along until a cure is found or early November. Shouldn’t be a problem for a con man like Trump.
