The United States has now surpassed 175,000 deaths from COVID-19. According to Johns Hopkins University, 175,350 Americans have succumbed during this global pandemic.
The Republican National Convention convenes in less than 72 hours from now.
How are they going to spin the deaths of more than 175,000 Americans in six months under President Trump's watch?
Will Republicans take a page from World Wrestling Entertainment and not acknowledge its existence?
If Republicans do acknowledge COVID-19 will they refer to it as the "China virus" as Trump frequently does?
Will the RNC claim President Trump has saved millions of lives? Or will the RNC become an infomercial for hydroxycholoroquine, oleandrin or other snake oil concoction? Will masks and social distancing not only be disregarded but disparaged? What other conspiracy theories, QAnon and otherwise, will be peddled?
However President Trump and the GOP spin the deaths of 175,000 Americans (and counting) the question remains if we will buy what they are selling? If we do buy what they sell next week then we shall pay for many years to come.
