He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.

The Washington Post - Marine in helicopter squadron that transports the president has tested positive for coronavirus

today

A Marine* assigned to the helicopter squadron in which the president and other top government leaders travel has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, officials say, in the latest instance of the virus potentially threatening the White House. ...

 

*  The marine was asymptomatic.

LOL I don't think anytime soon is going to be "the right time" for anything like this. Maybe after the election and all the votes have been counted, give it a shot then Ducky.

I reckon the only reason he's now wearing a mask and pretending to care about the coronavirus is he realises he's losing all the way down. I'm reading John Bolton's book and I can see a lot of what he says and does everyday, and I have to say holy Christ does Trump love Kim Jong-Un and Vladimir Putin or what.

The Washington Post - Operation Diligent Valor: Trump showcased federal power in Portland, making a culture war campaign pitch

today

PORTLAND, Ore. - As statues of Confederate generals, enslavers and other icons tumbled from their pedestals amid protests last month, President Trump issued an executive order meant to break the cascade. 

 

[Trump] enlisted the Department of Homeland Security, created in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks to protect the country against external threats, to defend U.S. monuments and federal property against "anarchists and left-wing extremists" ....

 

The New York Times - ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ Didn’t Mean What Trump Hoped It Did

today

The president said on Fox News that he had to remember those words as part of a test that he said demonstrated his mental acuity. 

 

But the test, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is meant to detect signs of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or other conditions. ...

 

To demonstrate just how hard he said the test really was, Trump went on television to recite, over and over, the words that he had been asked to remember in the right order: “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”

 

Cable television played the president’s performance on a virtual loop on Thursday, and those five words trended online. 

 

T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and other clothing with “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.” emblazoned on them were quickly offered for sale. ...

 

This would be even more funny if it wasn't so depressingly reality.

"This would be even more funny if it wasn't so depressingly reality."

So, so true qhickymart. These 'cartoons' perfectly capture the idiot's dereliction of duty.

The Washington Post - Trump’s week of retreat: The president reverses course as the coronavirus surges out of control

today

President Trump was adamant that Congress cut payroll taxes - until, suddenly, he backed down.

 

He demanded that all of the nation’s schools reopen for the fall semester - until, suddenly, he allowed for some wiggle room.

 

He insisted upon filling every seat at the Republican National Convention celebration - until, suddenly, he canceled the event. 

 

And he refused to wear a mask in public - until, suddenly, he did, and morphed into a mask evangelist.

 

For Trump, this has been a week of retreat. ...

 

Weakened politically by his response to the pandemic, Trump changed course after polls showed his positions did not align with public attitudes or - as was the case with the payroll tax cut - his Republican allies on Capitol Hill declined to advance his interests. ...
