A Man Hears What He Wants To Hear

At meeting with pharma companies, ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ says he is hearing that a vaccine can be ready in three to four months but Dr Fauci makes clear, after a question from this reporter, that it won’t be ready *to deploy* for at least a year. pic.twitter.com/jBAJsp88qX

And disregards the rest.

"We had a great meeting today with a lot of the great companies, and they're going to have vaccines I think relatively soon. And they're going to have something that makes you better, and that's going to actually take place we think even sooner" -- Trump on the coronavirus pic.twitter.com/oujTse5Lnp

(The xenophobic remark is just lagniappe.)

Except the President is not a man; he is the Chief Executive of the Country.  He has responsibilities which erase his own personal feelings and fear.  Or should, if he was a man.

(And I swear:  if you drilled into Trump's head it would be solid concrete from ear to ear.)
