Trump Whistles in the Wind, Tries to Fake the Numbers While the COVID Starts to Rampage Through MAGA-ville

NBC News has released some (leaked) COVID-19 projection data from the White House coronavirus task force-- data they didn't want us to see for some reason. Maybe it's because, while Donald Trump is out there lying and saying coronavirus numbers are going "very rapidly" down "almost everywhere."  The truth is that their own data shows case numbers going up as much as 1,000 percent, specifically in the heartland-- where white Trump voters helped propel Trump to his unlikely "victory" in 2016.

Dr. John Ross, a medical professor at Harvard, pointed out a thing about this data-- all but one of the fastest-growing counties in America were Trump counties in 2016.

• Trousdale County, Tennessee
• Leavenworth County, Kansas
• Buchanan County, Missouri
• Muhlenberg County, Kentucky
• Colfax County, Nebraska
• Stearns County, Minnesota
• Kenosha County, Wisconsin
• Polk County, Iowa
• Hall County, Georgia
• Racine County, Wisconsin

Most of these outbreaks can be traced to prisons and meatpacking plants and the like. And what happens to outbreaks that start in prisons and meatpacking plants? The employees take them home to their families and neighbors and MAGA Happy Hour parties-- and before you know it, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is COVID-19.

Republicans may have been saying lately that there must just be something about those people in the prisons and the meatpacking plants and their lifestyles that's spreading COVID-19, but unless Stephen Miller's wife is a participant in the same lifestyle now spreading corona-cooties all over the White House, those Republicans are full of shit.

But wait, there's more! There's another county chart of "locations to watch," and their numbers are showing disturbing trends.

•     Ramsey County, Minnesota
•     Jackson County, Missouri
•     Lancaster County, Nebraska
•     Dallas County, Texas
•     Rutherford County, Tennessee
•     Douglas County, Nebraska
•     East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana
•     Hennepin County, Minnesota
•     Franklin County, Ohio
•     Fort Bend County, Texas

That's right-- they are all in the heartland. Many of them are in the same states where big rural outbreaks have happened.

Point is, again, Donald Trump is full of shit and lies when he says the pandemic is decreasing pretty much everywhere. It may be decreasing in some Democratic-run large cities that got hit hardest first and responded with stay-at-home orders backed by science.

But in the heartland? In Trumplandia? Coronavirus is barebacking its way through the voters Donald Trump needs if Russia is going to help him steal the 2020 election again on a technicality, and it's only going to get worse as time goes by. And it doesn't matter how much the White House castrates the CDC or tries to screw around with the death counts by pretending COVID-19 victims just died in car accidents, because piles of dead bodies don't lie.

Hey, did you hear Donald Trump is aching to do a bunch of MAGA rallies as soon as he gets the OK? Yeah--no joke.
