For example, yesterday he made a stink about the coronavirus not returning in the fall when everyone with half a brain knows that without a vaccine, it is inevitable. So that will be great anti-trump TV at the end of October when it does flare back up, well can just show clips of yesterday’s brain fart.

I certainly agree - he is really doing a great job of providing President Joe with lots of material to use for his campaign ads. My GAWD, how could you watch any of them and not realize what a total and complete horse's ass he is!

But, no - "let it go." I cannot believe that "the press" is continuing to sit there and allow themselves to be abused by this disgustingly reprehensible cretin that was so wrongly placed in our White House.
They need to stand up and demand a stop to it - if not for "self-respect, then for the respect of the Constitution - the right to a free and independent press.

He is a disaster. He needs to be "corrected" each and every time he lies. He needs to go.

I would encourage him to continue the Scary Clown Show right up to November 3rd.

An AP poll today says 22% trust what he says about COVFEFE-19. Just one in five Americans believes what he says about something that may kill them. That is an electoral catastrophe. You can't vote for somebody who you think is that dangerous to you.

What I am asking for is the "press" to stand up and say, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!"

Really!

Every time he does one of his condescending replies to a press question (easy to tell when that will happen - a response directed to a woman/minority person/minority woman/person from an identified "fake news source" [by his "standards"]), the next press representative should ask the same question again, insisting that they get an answer instead of an attack.

How long do you think he would survive such a planned response?

If he doesn’t like a question, he will shut a reporter down. If he doesn’t like a reporter, he doesn’t call on them. If a reporter gets “out of line” and pushes him too hard, then he has that reporter barred.
Need to get Trump on a debate stage moderated by anyone other than Fox.
