When you have an administration that orders intelligence assessments to be changed to help the POTUS's political fortunes, rather than protect the interests of the United States and its citizens, releasing the tapes in March wouldn't have made a shit bit of difference. The only reason he told Woodward what he did was so he would look smart and informed. He couldn't even grasp how insane it would be to go on camera in February saying Covid was no big deal, when he was being recorded for a book, completely contradicting himself. All he could do was think in the immediate moment what his fragile ego needed.
He could say the Earth is flat one day and a whole media machine would go into overdrive to claim the notion is true. Then he could say he was kidding the next day and that same media machine would find a way to fall in line again. What is insane is that there are people who see the dishonesty and duplicity happen, and the cost to their fellow citizens and country, constantly, and not only have no problem with it, it's the feature they like and not considered a bug.
Mick, applying your rational thought to irrational people doesn't work.
