Deja-vu all over again?

TONY

Just as I thought. It's only a matter now of how to do it quietly and avoid the backlash. A forced resignation is usually the preferred manner.

Well, he does enjoy watching people suffer . . . and beg, too. Especially people whose life he holds in his hands.

There's lots of examples. From the vendors he cheated to the immigrant parents and children. Now it's the governors of blue states who are desperately in need of PPEs.

Trump has gone way past sociopath. He's a maniac.

"Also, in 2017, they hid the numbers a pandemic might affect in the U.S. This was before they disbanded the NSC Pandemic Response Unit."

Trump's ego and his hatred of Obama has guided some of Trump's most pathologically irrational decisions.

Unfortunately for the country for the past 3+ years, Trump's warped pathos didn't stop there.

Judging from the way he's refusing to call up the Defense Production Act tells me he's reached the "nothing-to lose" stage of his failed presidency He's going to burn the house down.

Cuomo is barking up a dead tree stump. He's a Democrat and Governor of a state that didn't vote for Trump.

We all know how Trump handles his enemies. DIE, you traitors, DIE!

"Why Isn't America Hearing From The CDC?"

Because Dr. Fauci has more credibility than Trump and makes Trump look like a fool in public.

I'm surprised Dr. Fauci hasn't been branded a traitor yet.

I'd call it the "Guano Disease" So it could be applied to ------- Crazy Trump.

"he US bureaucracy's been gutted in the past 3 years..."

That's been the master plan all along, hasn't it?

"Destroy the establishment"
"Drown it in a bathtub."

It seems to me there's a method to Trump's madness ~ all the while trying to keep up appearances so he can get a second term.

If that's the case, the COVID-19 is a blessing in disguise to Trump, isn't it?

We don't even have to ask ourselves "why" any more.

"If Pres Trump's campaign and/or his other allies want to stop people from quoting Pres Trump saying stupid things or showing videos of Pres Trump saying stupid things..."

You aren't alone. I've marveled many times about Trump writing the opposition's campaign ads for them. There must be thousands of examples.

I've seen the ads this thread is talking about and they're devastating.

I don't know where McConnell/Trump/Mnuchin thought they were going with that super-duper secret $500 Billion slush fund.

I know it got Pelosi's attention . . . and that was the end of THAT.

Looking into this, the Dems really did a good job.

Considering that they are the minority party, they certainly did.

It's not wise to mess with Nancy Pelosi.

DANNI

The Jackass-in-Chief didn't take into account that New Yorkers are fleeing south. By the planeload.

I'm pretty sure Trump wants this all over by Easter so he can go to Mar-a-logo to golf and to eat his favorite chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.

You mean he's stuck in D.C.? Oh, the horror!

ZED

He only had two paths to re-election ~~ low unemployment and the economy (aka stock market).

Both have dropped out from under his feet.

Therefore, the lies will get longer, more ridiculous and more desperate as time runs out for him.

I hope by now everybody is aware of that.

SJHAMILTON @11

I think I just described "you're kinda" guy as president.

Sympathies.

Trump isn't acting like a President but that doesn't mean he isn't hard at work.

No. 1 priority, of course, is to devote all his "executive time" considering his opportunities to come out on top of this crisis before E-day in November.

He also has to take stock of the leverage he has to punish "blue" states by withholding vital medical emergency supplies now locked up in a warehouse ~ with the end goal of killing off as many registered democrat voters as possible ~ which will all be blamed on the Democrat governor come election time.

Trump's enemy list is always foremost in his mind, even without a crisis. Therefore, this is a golden opportunity to closely monitor their anti-Trump activities and devise ways to pick them off one at a time ~ starting with Mitt Romney, Adam Schiff and any down ticket Democrat that his sick paranoia perceives as traitors.

So yes, this is your President hard at work. Petty, vindictive, snide, vicious, immature, greedy, crass, narcissistic, paranoid, sociopathic, rude, cheating, conniving, scheming and a pathological liar.

What's not to love ~ so sayth his sychophants.

Thanks CUTIEPIE. This is a very important message. It bears repeating.

POSTERS:

Don't let the following little tid bit slip past you while you listen to Trump play his usual blame game in an effort to direct your attention away from his own incompetence and ignorance.

This, plus the fact that he was warned about a pandemic in December, 2019 by Obama's transition team. Trump chose to ignore the warning. In fact, in another abundance of ignorance and incompetency, Trump fired America's ONLY Pandemic Response Agency as a slap in the face to Obama's warnings.

"Of course, the fact is that Trump removed a health expert in Bejing that was supposed to monitor and warn about just that kind of potential outbreak few months before it happened, apparently to save costs, despite already running more than $1T in deficits in what he called "the best economy ever":

www.vox.com - A US epidemiologist was embedded with the Chinese CDC. The Trump administration discontinued the position."

"President Trump offered North Korea help in combating the COVID-19 outbreak "

For a big fat fee, do doubt.

Hubris, thy name is Trump.

ZED

You can tell by his rallies that he survives on applause and cheers. He's desperately in need affirmation. Nobody ever taught him the right way to get it and he's not smart enough to figure it out by himself. His ego keeps telling him different.

We can see now that this "distance" thing has got him in a downward spiral ~ even with all his bobble heads standing behind him at the briefings. It's just not the same. With 223 days to E-day, he running out of time (he never really had the talent) to turn it around.

His usual "tried and true" (lying) isn't working any more. The Presidential Shield isn't even working any more.

His loss is the country's gain.

"Hatred of me"

LOL ~ I only it stopped there.

"Before Trump called for reevaluating lockdowns, they shuttered six of his top-earning clubs and resorts

OUCH! That explains a lot.

And now the stock market sinking like a rock.

How is he going to pay his legal bills when he becomes "citizen" Trump?

Never mind, I forgot. He thinks he going to get a $500 Billion severance pay.

"Trump wants to be able to do his giant goober rallies."

A narcissistic sociopath fully expects people to die for him. It's the nature of the beast.

Don't think for a minute that Trump cares about anything but what's happening to the stock market (his "economy" barometer) which he thought was going to his golden brick road to reelection.

WOMP, WOMP (sad trombone)

"Trump only cares about the DJIA. People are expendable; money is precious."

BINGO

No defense of Rand Paul intended but he's a Repub. How do we know he not just spinning a story to get his name in the news? (It's working)

It seems really strange that an MD would violate the sacred oath "Do No Harm." If it's true, then he should have his license pulled with a recommendation to see a psychiatrist.

This is a gimmick someone like Donald Trump would pull to milk for sympathy.
