Woodward Tapes Impact Thread 1/18

It is difficult to grasp the relevance of a bombshell news item, as it happens. How big news is this? Trump, Covid, Woodward tapes. For the Trumpomess, is it just another scandal? Or is this worse? Maybe? The worst... ever?

#TrumpLiedPeopleDied
Woodward Thread 2/18

Trump Presidency is a Scandalothon. Impeached. The Helsinki Hostage Summit. Kids in cages. Love letters with North Korean Dictator. Drinking bleach. Bounties on US troops. Stormtroopers in Tulsa. Extorting Ukraine. Selling Puerto Rico?

How does this rate?
Woodward Thread 3/18

To understand impact. We start with the facts. What happened? Trump is on TAPE confessing to:
- Knew Covid is deadlier than flu ie 100,000+ will die
- Knew it transmits by air (= masks, gatherings)
- Confessed he downplayed it deliberately

So #TrumpKnew
Woodward Thread 4/18

This makes Trump a mass murderer. Genocide-level homicide. Not just 'willful negligence' - he knew that Covid will kill - & did not warn America.

He ACTED to cause MORE DEATH (against masks, held super-spreader events, feuded with doctors, etc)

#Trumpvirus
Woodward Thread 5/18

We now know - by Trump own words on tape with Woodward - that Trump KNEW Covid will kill 100,000+ and that it was airborne virus; and Trump admits he withheld this info from Americans.

That means he caused mass homicide. BY FAR his worst crime

This is ON DIFFERENT LEVEL to any previous scandal: Watergate, Iran-Conta, Bill Clinton's blow job, Dick Cheney's wars, Obama's tan suit, or any previous TRUMP scandal incl his impeachment, Putin bounties, slaughtered Kurds

This is America's biggest scandal
Woodward Thread 7/18

The analogy is a deadly hurricane. When weather turns into deadliest hurricane in 100 years, the weather folks come on TV and say, no, the storm is ending, go out to swim, go take your boats to the sea. Is condemning them to die.

Is what Trump has done
Woodward Thread 8/18

Trump HIMSELF does not see what a monster he has been.

Most sane people see, what he did was mass homicide. Increasingly Fox and Republicans will come to that view. Too many REPUBLICANS have died for them to hide. But this is not a normal Trump scandal
Woodward Thread 9/18

Most scandals in Trump's Scandalworld are forgotten in a week. Remember evil "thugs in airplanes"? That was his delusion exactly a week ago. We can't easily tell, what is the 'Helsinki Hostage Summit' that remains while 'Finnish Forest Raking' is forgotten
Woodward Thread 10/18

The Woodward Tapes #TrumpTapes are the biggest scandal in the Presidency that has given us more scandals than all Presidents in past 100 years, combined.

This scandal is literally the biggest scandal in American political history. It will be Trump's legacy
Woodward Thread 11/18

President Donald J Trump, the Last Republican, decided to withhold life-saving info from Americans. And deliberately gave them advice that got more of them killed. By today, 193,000 dead. By election day, probably around 250,000 dead. Final toll, 300K+
Woodward Thread 12/18

There is no way to spin this. For the near 200,000 dead now, there are 10x more grieving relatives. 2 Million Americans. Spread across blue and red states. The Louisiana Mardi Gras in New Orleans was a super-spreader event, Trump could have prevented
Woodward Thread 13/18

That is the 'situation report'. The facts. You knew that or most of it. Now the analysis

NOBODY KNEW about the tapes until yesterday, Trump team got an advance warning only a day before. That is why Trump went silent on TW

We're in shock? THEY'RE in shock
Woodward Thread 14/18

The White House only listened in on a couple of the interviews. MOST were done PRIVATELY and 'secretly' by Trump. With Trump calling Woodward (not the other way!) at NIGHT from his bedroom. The bombshells from these tapes are SURPRISES to Trump & GOP
Woodward Thread 15/18

That is why Kayleigh McEnemy looked like she had been crying. She HAD been crying. She is forced to lie and defend Trump on words of total mystery - Trump himself has no recollection what Woodward has on his tapes. And nobody else in WH knows either
Woodward Thread 16/18

All Republicans facing election will now go into hiding, to try to avoid reporters. And to try to find a coordinated response. Remember, this came as a total shock to them as well - except that most GOP have been parroting Trump lies on Covid.

Oops
Woodward Thread 17/18

The blood of 193,000 Americans is on Trump's hands. Now Republicans have to decide. Will they stand with Trump. Or do they intend to have a career after November?

Remember the simple rhyme:
Trump Lied
Americans Died
Republicans Hide

Trump turned GOP into Death Cult #Cult45

#GOP is Grand Old Pandemic

#MAGA is More American Graves Ahead

Trump doctrine:
