Pres Trump seems to be TACOing a lot of late.

Why might that be?

Too much blood thinner? His brain has never banged on all eight cylinders to begin with.

I live in Florida and pulling those things was sheer stupidity, We NEED that information to help with hurricane formation, tracking and forecasting,
I really think that is his point, People get no warning of incoming storms, Property destroyed, people killed,
That way he can clear the coastal areas of us less thans so that it will only be available for the haves, but not the have nots,
I think it was deliberate
Glad they stopped SOMETHING

He would if they'd let him.

Donald Trump wanted to dramatically reveal a Superman shirt underneath his dress shirt to symbolize strength when he left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after his COVID-19 treatment.

He was so intent on the idea that he had a campaign aide try to purchase a Superman shirt from a big-box store in Virginia.

Ultimately, Trump's advisors persuaded him to abandon the stunt.

This is a perfect example of why the "TACO" meme sucks. Unless you actually wanted him to completely shut down the monitoring system, why would anyone flame him for reversing course on this particular issue?
