The Trump administration took $300 million from the CDC for a Covid-19 coronavirus ad campaign, according to a report

, which had nothing to do with his being selected for the campaign, right? Other celebs who, according to Diamond, may be involved with the ad campaign include country singer Garth Brooks and gospel singer CeCe Winans.So what exactly is the purpose of such a campaign during an ongoing pandemic and public health emergency? Right now, despair isn’t the primary enemy. It’s not as if despair jumped from bats to humans one day and started spreading.

Instead, the virus is the enemy. Yes, the current inability to control the spread of the virus may be leading to despair. If you compare the number of Covid-19 coronavirus cases and deaths that have occurred in the U.S. with the number that have occurred in South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, and Germany, there could be reason for despair.

Would a “defeat despair” campaign now be like firefighters launching a “defeat the fear of getting burned” campaign when they really should be focused on fighting the fire? Even if “despair” were momentarily defeated, the virus would still be around spreading and making people sick. What then specifically would be the purpose of the campaign?

This ambiguity muddles the line between “public health campaign” and “Presidential re-election campaign.” For this to be more clearly a public health campaign, there needs to be clear public health objectives. Would it be to increase mask use? Then call it an increasing face mask use campaign. How about to help people maintain social distancing? Then clearly label it as such.

Otherwise, if the expected results are to just make people temporarily feel better about what’s happening and improve people’s impressions about the Trump administration, wouldn’t that seem a bit election campaign-y? After all, if a person said “I want to conduct a campaign to make you feel better about me,” would that be a public health campaign or more of a Tinder profile.

tertree8 Absolute corruption

Lied

Okay, let’s do the Democratic Party and how they used all of the donations from the BlackLivesMatter movement. blm trump2020

At least he donates his paychecks.

According to a report? Just keep belittling your prestige for less than a plate of porridge yam.

How does this picture correlate?

None of them are on our side

If it’s an educational ad campaign about awareness then it falls in line as a weapon against the virus. Nothing wrong in that. Do a story on new findings in the Durham report

Sure Jan... 🙄

If the ad campaign educated people in wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing then that is perfectly acceptable. Why are you posting a picture of serial wife cheater Dennis Quaid?

Notice how no one reads crap like this anymore from your publication

LOL it just gets better each day

We are worse. The fraud here in India has been fooling people, taking their money calling it PMCaresFund

I’m lost with the pic of Dennis , 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is what they are really good at, not so good at saving people’s life 😤😤😤

houstonfan00 I hope Dennis is doing well

More corruption with Tax payer’s money. The swamp in this administration is dark and murky.

Anyone shocked

This man has no morals and care not 1 wit for the American people. All he cares for,nis his own survival.

How else to best communicate the dangers of the virus

Why is Dennis quaid the picture? 😂

And Here's Ivanka Trump Pretending to Be Comfortable At an Outdoor Equipment StoreFirst Daughter Ivanka Trump is touring the Midwest, dutifully pushing her father’s propaganda of American prosperity and the so-called “Great American Comeback” alongside Vice President Mike Pence. The favored Trump daughter visited a manufacturing plant in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and the remnants of a black hair salon in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that caught on fire during the George Floyd protests late May. But she took a moment out of her campaigning to really embrace what normie Americana looks like: hitting up an outdoor-gear store and buying random shit. Spoilers, jeez! Now we know Baby Yoda gets kidnapped by the Empire. Why give her and her ‘self’ free advertising and visibility. She is a vile human being, feeding her bank account he souls of americans. Why help? She’s choking baby Yoda! 🥺
