"SNIP.....

As President Trump continues to question the advice of public health experts, he’s now blaming the media for the country’s economic slowdown.

“The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!”

.......SNIP"

At 5:55 he now likes social distancing. He wants it. To save lives. But will ease it in spots that are not hot for coronavirus. Someone got to him... was it a poll that said 74% of voters support quarantines? Thank you whoever you are.

It is the media fault because they don't want me (Trump) to be a success after the biggest fuck in
American History and besides people want to go back out and catch a disease that might kill them
and or their family and friends.

but no. He thinks that he's brilliant and so do all of his supporters. And some people just listen to him because he's "POTUS"

He's just so uncouth that sometimes I just have to take a few minutes to inspect the floor and mouth breath like the idiots that follow him. He's so stupid I have to stop just to process it and not lose my mind from the sheer insanity of it all.
