He’s conflating the misuse of herd immunity with how his cult followers are sheeple, or something:
Trump Says ‘Herd Mentality’ Will Save Us All From COVID
Undeterred by mounting criticism over his repeated dismissals of the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump doubled down on his claim that the virus will “go away” on Tuesday. Even if it doesn’t, he said, “herd mentality” will take over and save us all. The president made the remarks during a 90-minute town hall event hosted by ABC News late Tuesday in which he repeated many of the same rosy predictions that have previously been proven wrong. Apparently conflating “herd mentality” with “herd immunity”—which occurs when a large enough proportion of the population has built up immunity to an infectious disease, often through vaccination—the president insisted the country will recover from the pandemic even without a vaccine.
It’s a funny malaprop, but it also shows that he has no plan, and he has no plan for a plan. The herd who will be culled as we’ve predicted all along, so in some ways this herd mentality is a Freudian slip, I guess.
Anyway, the whole town hall thing was such a train wreck that Fox News went on RED ALERT and scrambled the Luftwaffe and Ilsa, the She-Wolf of the SS, er, Laura Ingraham took flight (cue-up some Wagner, and play the horse whinny!):
When someone trips over their own tongue it is not called an ambush. When someone shoots themselves in the foot it is NOT called an ambush. Ilsa needs a dictionary.

And syllables aside, Lord Damp Nut is a lot like the Red Queen. When Jabba the Nut uses a word, it means exactly what that fat slug intended it to mean, nothing more and nothing less. Its definition can even change into an opposite meaning several days after he said it.

Let me translate that for everyone. Ambush in Fux News speak means they asked him questions about his policies and actions.

If the questions aren’t along the lines of “What makes you the best president ever?” Lord Dampnut is lost at sea.

It was a trap. Who could have possibly predicted that a bunch of ordinary citizens would ask LDN gotcha questions??? Well, not FAUX. That’s for sure. Frigging buttercups.

Not being the elite communicators one finds in the mainstream media clubbing in the West Wing, the untutored electorate were unable to relate their concerns in the esoteric terminology employed by Jabba the Nut. Although, a few women who appeared to be more accustomed to verbally sparring with five-year-olds got closer than most
