On Confidence

Virtually all of the local TV commercials for businesses include similar patter about safe practices during the pandemic. Which ones will be believed?

It will come down to the general reputation of the business prior to the pandemic and to the public’s opinions regarding the credibility of the government. No one on the blue side has any faith in a man who takes unproven drugs and urges us to eat bleach. Why should we believe him when he tells us it is safe to go to restaurants again, particularly since we know his advice will be completely based on his personal self-interest?

For once, Trump’s lack of credibility is going to bite him in the rear end. It’s about time!
