His brother died from bleeding on the brain as a result from a fall he had.
Plenty of articles stating it.

Nope. Incorrect.

The articles say he died after he had a fall and bleeding on the brain.

They don't, however, say the fall or the bleeding was the cause of his death.

Elvis died after taking a dump, but his cause of death wasn't defecation.

its good to know he died AFTER the fall and not before...that would have been awkward.

Indeed.

The point is, however, that nobody is saying that the fall or the bleeding on the brain actually caused his death.

Don't you think it's interesting that there is no official cause of death, and that Mr. Trump could only manage to spare ten minutes for his brother's funeral?

Trump seems to be tripping over himself to find the right narative.

He knows he stuffed it up at the beginning by trivialising it and insisting it would all be over soon.

Now he knows that it is not trivial, and has devastated real communities - not least of all key parts of his own base.

So he somehow has to find a way of saying "yeah ok its bad - but my dismissive attitude at the beginning still wasn't wrong".

So we get the confused language we are hearing now:
- some people really are badly affected
- it has had a real impact on communities
- still, it only affects the very old and people with pre-existing conditions
- therefore, it affects "virtually nobody"

in short, a bizarre combination of "its bad and we need to take it seriously - but we can still trivialise it by focusing on how many people will actually be hit (directly) by the virus"

trump will flip and flop depending on what poll he's just read.

Quoting?

What are you talking about?

I said there is no official cause of death.

If you can find an official cause of death, I'll shout you a trip to Tasmania.
