I have lamented how social media can corrupt our thinking while dictating the course of public debate.<\/p>\n

Then again, it provides a laugh … even at issues that aren’t haw-haw funny. Such as this Twitter item that found its way onto my Facebook feed today.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump got angry with the World Health Organization because it supposedly gave the COVID\/coronavirus pandemic the short shrift. He wants to pull the United States out of the WHO.<\/p>\n

But wait! Now we hear from none other than the iconic journalist Bob Woodward that Donald Trump did the very same thing. Wow, man! Who knew?<\/p>\n

We have Trump’s voice recorded forever telling Woodward that the president didn’t want to “panic” Americans. So he lied to us. He told us the pandemic was like the flu. He said the nation’s doctors had it all “under control” and that the coronavirus would disappear … like a miracle!<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s what Trump said. Woodward’s got it on audio recording.<\/p>\n

So, does this mean Trump will set aside his anger with WHO, return the nation he governs to the health agency and rejoin the international fight to find a vaccine for the killer virus?<\/p>\n

No. It doesn’t mean that at all.\u00a0 Because Donald Trump doesn’t acknowledge when he’s wrong. He doesn’t admit to being a fallible human being.<\/p>\n

The Donald’s only<\/em> instinct is to lie. Then he expects us to believe the lies he blurts out.<\/p>\n\n
