Spanky is on Fox's "Town Hall" and looks every bit the fool.

They’re struggling a little to get him to give answers to questions and he’s just an idiot. He’s still pushing the open it back up idea, though he always speaks in generalities to cover his ass.

But he sounds like some guy who was brought in and barely comprehends what’s going on but can insult others and praise himself.

But hey, they’ve got Dr. Oz!

Asked what prompted him to take his first action on the coronavirus -- a member of his team, a world leader, etc. -- he says, "It was instinct." He also says he had been "reading a lot about it," and seeing things on television.

Trump: "A lot of people agree with me: our country's not supposed to be -- it's not built to shut down." He says Americans are "full of vim and vigor."

Trump is talking about the number of flu deaths. "We don't turn the country off" because of that, he says. He then invokes car accidents; he says we didn't tell car companies "stop making cars."

This stupid talk should just go away in a week or two as the numbers get worse.

The biggest danger is it excuses the lack of engagement now to deal with where we’ll likely be 4 weeks from now.

Anything the federal government can do managing the logistics or the crisis won’t show up in results for at least 2 weeks and may take months.

Instead they’ll squander 2 weeks of time wishing it would just go away.

Thousands of unnecessary deaths is the cost of electing trump

Aides are saying now he’s stuck at the WH they can’t get things done because he keeps interrupting meetings with stupid tangents and useless ideas.

That is exactly what he is doing now.

This is to take the place of his rallies that he isn't able to do. Since when has any "news" network conducted Presidential town halls?

because Trumpsters won't be able to figure out that you can't come up with a near accurate rate if you don't know the true numerator and denominator.

This is why we're not testing.

He keeps saying open by Easter and she keeps saying okay let’s see. And then he comes back and says no it’s not serious! Back to work!

Boy I wish he wasn’t delusional.
