First here's the backstory
The HOAX disbanded the National Security Council Pandemic Unit that experts had praised.
When a reporter asked if he took responsibility for doing that he said the question was nasty and when pressed gave his usual response. He knew nothing about. He heard nothing about. No one told him anything about it. Yadayadayadayadayadayadayada.
So he has a ghost president who does things about which he knows not. Schizophrenic maybe? Bifurcated personality/brain mebbe? Three Faces of HOAX" mebbe (apologies to 3 Faces of Eve and Joanne Woodward). One of 'em does says and the other him knows nuttin' honey. Convenient.
