1. Welcome to the Daily White House Shadow Briefing. We continue to brief even though the WH has started briefing again.That's because there is only one thing missing from those briefings -- the truth. You can get it right here and if you read the whole thread some steak knives

2. too. Let's get right to questions this morning. Q Why is the President taking hydochloroquine if he hasn't tested positive for the virus. A. How do you know he's really taking it. Q. The WH doctor says he is. A. The previous Dr. added and inch and said he weighted 239 and

3. in excellent health despite the cardiac risk. Now he's off running for Congress on the platform that Obama is a traitor, even though he was his Doctor. So take with a grain of salt what the WH Doctor says. That job was never political, but Trump ruin everything I guess.

4. Q. But there is evidence that the drug causes serious cardiac complications and no evidence it works to prevent the virus. A. Again, you're assuming anyone is telling the truth in that building and that's a really big mistake. There is only one way to prove it, a blood test,

5. but I think that might cause more problems than it solves, if you know what I mean. Q. Why did he blurt it out yesterday? A. To insure the first five questions at the shadow briefing, he's a big fan, would be about this. His strategy is to create a distraction every day until

6. Election Day. Q. Is the President upset that Nancy Pelosi called him morbidly obese? A. Is the Pope Catholic? OF course he is. But it kind of misses the point doesn't it. Barack Obama wasn't a great President because he was skinny or fit. And Donald Trump is not a terrible

7. President because he's overweight. Look at Bill Clinton, he was chubby and skinny during his eight years and that didn't impact how he ran the White House. Let's stick with the facts, they're damning enough. Q. Sherrod Brown really gave Steve Mnuchin the business this

8. morning. How can he say there isn't a problem with essential workers getting paid less. A. That's what he thinks At Goldman, he was 10 million times more productive than those who served him in the executive dining room. That's what he wanted to say, but instead just sputtered

9.Q Why couldn't he understand the question about how many lives is it worth for 1000 points on the Dow. A. Oh he understood the question. At the root of the Administrations policy is a cost benefit analysis of reopening unsafely and the human cost that will ensue. He just

10. want to share that with all of America. Q. Speaking of numbers, what does the President think of the women in Florida who built the website on Covid-19 who was fired for refusing to cook the numbers? A. Let me be clear, you should be wary of the numbers from almost all the

11. states that are run by Republicans. Gov Kemp, an expert in suppression, has been caught multiple times putting out bad numbers. It's called a strategy folks. Lie till you die. Q. Looks like John Ratcliffe will be confirmed. A. The President is finally getting what he wants

12. at the top of the intelligence community--someone without intelligence. He has no experience, is a known liar which means the President has full confidence in him. Q. President Trump again went after a TV anchor based on their ratings. Why does he keep doing that.

13. A. Because that's how he judges success. During the period of the most deaths to date caused by the virus the President was claiming victory because his briefings were getting great ratings. If it takes more death to get better ratings then so be it. Q. Senator Graham says

14. about to issue dozens of subpoenas for Obama administration officials. Does the President support this? A. The President believes very strongly in the separation of power in our system and thinks everyone should honor a subpoena. Just kidding. He knows oversight is dead and

15. that goes both ways. Q. What do you make of Barr's statement that he won't be investigating Obama or Biden. A. Clearly not what most people think or what the President thinks. Barr has set this up perfectly for the President. He say there will be no criminal investigation,

16. not there was no criminal behavior. He'll use Obama aides as a proxy to prove that Obama/Biden were hardened criminals. It's amazing how many people fell for the line that he's staying out of politics. Its all about politics. Q. The FBI reports the Pensacola shooting was

17. Al Qaeda related. A. Yes, President Trump can claim credit for foreign terror groups attacking on US soil. Another big victory. It also underscores how much he loves the Saudi's since they finance Al Qaeda and kill journalists living in America. In fact, he was quite happy

18. he was able to fire the IG at state because he was looking into Pompeo and bypassing Congress in selling arms to our great ally. Q. Speaking of the IG, the President said he had no problem with state employees doing housework for the Secretary. A. Of course he doesn't.

19. when Melania is not there to do the dishes, someone has to do it and the President can't because he's either tweeting or watching cable tv, or both. Dishes are a women's job you know, at least in the Trump household. Q. The President is having lunch with GOP Senators and

invite said it was a buffet lunch. Doesn't that violate every standard of not spreading the virus? A. Yes, but let's no ascribe a political motive to everything. Sometimes its just stupidity. Q. The President's threat to The WHO was riddled with factual errors. Why is that?

21. A. He's not a detail guy, he's a conspiracy guy. Q. Politico is reporting that national guardsmen are being withdrawn from helping with Covid-19 one day before extra benefits would have kicked in. A. That's all the President's doing. he's been jonesing to stiff someone on

22. bill and this is as close as he can come. Q. But doesn't his campaign owe millions to localities for campaign events. A. That's true, but he really likes to stick to regular folks like carpenters and electricians. So this felt better. Q.Trump tweeted or retweet at least

23. six tweets about Fox's Neil Cavuto including one that called him an asshole. What's his problem with him. A. The President believes he is an asshole for telling the truth and worse telling the truth on Fox. That is a cardinal sin. That's about all I can take for today.

24. let me know when they brief for real again and I'll be back.
