People Think Mnuchin Accidentally Said Trump Admin’s Most Honest Thing About COVID-19
People think Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s slip of the tongue on Friday could be the most honest thing ever said by someone in President Donald Trump’s administration.
During a telephone interview for CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Mnuchin said, “We’re working on mass distribution of the virus.” He presumably meant to say the Trump White House was working on the mass distribution of a vaccine to combat the spread of COVID-19.

But folks on Twitter took it as a Freudian slip, seeing how Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic has allowed the coronavirus to ravage the country, killing more than 250,000 Americans to date and infecting nearly 12 million.
The outgoing president also ignored his own government’s advice on how to mitigate its spread and hosted multiple crowded campaign rallies attended by maskless supporters.
When trump says “I’ve been loyal to the special interests” and Steve Mnuchin says “we’re working on mass distribution of the virus,” those aren’t Freudian slips.
Those are FACTS.

They already succeeded with mass distribution of the virus. It’s the worst in the world, largely because of their anti-science attitude.

Steve Mnuchin just said “… we’re working on mass distribution of the virus.”
Quite possibly the most honest thing ever said by the Trump administration.

They already did the mass distribution of the virus part.

I’d say they’ve got that whole “mass distribution of the virus” thing pretty much down to a science (no pun intended).

Actually, they do seem to be working on mass distribution of the virus…

No, he didn’t misspeak, they have done everything possible to enable mass distribution of the virus. The incoming administration will work to effectively mass distribute the vaccine.

“We’re working on mass distribution of the virus.” You have to admit that they’re doing a wonderful job…

They have already succeeded in mass distribution of the virus, no need for more work on that front.

No one paying attention thinks @stevenmnuchin1 was misspeaking when he said, “We’re working on mass distribution of the virus.”
That’s been the Trump/GOP plan from day one: kill off as many people as possible and tank the economy so they can swoop in and get even richer. pic.twitter.com/tznN7L2P3S
