(22,183 posts)he tweets. Instead of calling those who lost family members, etc., he tweets. Instead of holding a true, valid, helpful news conference, he blabbers on endlessly and tweets.
Some worthless president. Remember this in Nov. 2020, although I wouldn't mind if the powers that be remove him earlier and route him immediately to jail where he so richly deserves.
And, twitter should disconnect him from twitter. His texts have nothing to do w/ reality and in fact, do more harm then good.

(1,178 posts)No wonder he wants to open the economy back up in 2 weeks. He wants the virus to spread so these briefings can continue to be a ratings hit for him.

For some people watching Trump blather on in one of his narcissistic crazy rants is similar to watching a train in horror, with tankers full of explosives, that you know will blow up and will have horrendous consequences but you just can't seem to turn away from the nightmare that you're watching.
I suspect (am hopeful) that disgust and fatigue directed at him will increase the more he's out there spouting crazy stuff, attacking governors, like Cuomo, who are obviously MUCH more competent than he is, contradicting himself, lying and doing his normal self-aggrandizing especially when hyping himself over others that are much more deserving of our respect, thanks and admiration.

(13,225 posts)His inability to even ACKNOWLEDGE the level of suffering and pain this country is going through is surreal. He thinks of no one but himself, and enjoys inflicting pain on millions of innocent people out of petty revenge against their governors. He is despicable beyond words.
Every single one of his Republican enablers share in the blame.

At the very least, have a split screen and show the ICU's, the nurses in trash bags, the refrigerated morgues, etc.
