Bluster isn’t beating the virus; belligerence isn’t calming a restive nation.

total chaos is far easier to manipulate than cold, hard facts....

It was also soon forgotten. Also Feb 6 in California, a 57-year-old woman was found dead in her home of natural causes then unknown. When her autopsy report came out, officials said her death had been the first from COVID-19 in the U.S.

The first, and now five months later over 130,000 - more deaths than Vietnam and Korea combined - and our President spends his time tweeting about statues, fake nooses, and playing golf...

Angry and scornful at every turn, Trump used the totems of Mount Rushmore as his backdrop to play on the country’s racial divisions, denouncing the “bad, evil people” behind protests for racial justice. He then made a steamy Fourth of July salute to America on the White House South Lawn his platform to assail “the radical left, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters,” and, for good measure, people with “absolutely no clue.”

Just hate, hate, and more hate...

Vainglorious always, Trump recently let down that front long enough to ponder the possibility that he would lose in November, not from the fabricated voting shenanigans he likes to warn about but simply because the country may not want him after all of this. “Some people don't love me,” he allowed. “Maybe.”

No doubt about it Donald, America despises you - if you want love, better move to Moscow...

"In a crisis, when you lack an operational solution, all you are left with is humanity,” Dezenhall said. “This is just a situation where Trump cannot pivot because he views empathy as the equivalent of running down Pennsylvania Avenue in high heels and a tutu.”

Perhaps the only thing he is qualified to do....

That's why we have to re-elect Trump and keep Biden and whoever he chooses for his VP out of the White House.

It looks like he will lose the election in a landslide. One can only hope and pray.

Re-elect Trump so he can continue to create chaos because it’s easier for him to manipulate?????

I certainly hope the US doesn’t choose that path again. Look how well it worked out the last four years!

Failure - Sometimes a man’s entire purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. Trump is such a man.
