Sometimes I get confused on the talking points I need to get across. It’s hard to understand some. Take this one, for example
Talking point one: The Trump administration is deflecting blame. The blame on this pandemic rests solely on Trump but he wants us all to believe we should blame China.
That’s confusing to me. Didn’t this virus come FROM China? Didn’t China lie about it, cover it up, ask the WHO to cover it up? Didn’t they prohibit travel within China to protect their own, but if affected people went throughout the world, that was ok? Blaming China doesn’t seem wrong. But, I guess it is. They are still communist enemies, I think. But they’re not bad folks, folks? Got it. Trump bad. China good.
There are more talking points, but I can’t find the paper right now. I think I have them on an email somewhere. Need to get Jill to help me find them soon. The media has their list of questions, I have my list of answers. Just need to keep practicing. Practice makes perfect.
The few things I know and understand:
I’m still on lockdown, but can now do some interviews upstairs out of the basement. Pants are still optional.
I have seven minutes TOPS for each media interview. I’m not sure why, but I know that’s the edict from above. It’s not like I’m doing anything else. I’m not even essential enough to leave my house. But seven minutes limits the number of gaffs I can make per interview, I guess. Maybe the people controlling my actions are concerned about my stamina. I think that the next time I see them, if that ever happens, I’ll challenge them to a push-up contest.
Delaware’s stay at home order expires 5/15. That’s tomorrow. I’m sure it will be extended. Maybe to August like Los Angeles. Maybe forever so I can get out of leaving the house or letting anyone in. Wouldn’t that be cool!! Could I go straight from my basement to the basement of White House? There is a bowling alley in that basement. That would be cool.
If I am caught in a lie, just say “I didn’t hear the question” or I “misunderstood the question” or pretend the audio isn’t working well. That’s been working, stick with it.
One more day at home, less of me for the American public, one more day closer to the White House.
Jill just yelled from the kitchen to inform me that my Cream of Wheat with prunes is ready and I better go eat. It’s best luke warm, can’t let it get cold. That would be a shame.
Come on, man.
