Interesting comparison of what Trump was doing to Clinton in 2016, compared to Biden in 2020:

Trump keeps pounding Biden over age, but Trump is only three years younger.

The Washington Post - Calling it a ‘peaceful protest,’ Trump flouts coronavirus guidelines with golf club gathering

today

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - Just before 7 p.m. Friday evening, members of President Trump's private golf club here began streaming into a gilded ballroom by the dozens. Some carried wine glasses - few wore masks.

The happy hour scene just steps from the golf course was orchestrated by Trump, who decided late Friday to hold an impromptu news conference and invite his club members to gather indoors in defiance of state restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus.

With coronavirus cases nearing 5 million in the United States and average daily deaths topping 1,000, Trump’s retreat to the confines of his private club offered him an opportunity to create a kind of alternate reality in which his presidency is not being beset by numerous crises.

After walking into the room to the sound of applause and “Hail to the Chief” playing over a loudspeaker, Trump told the crowd that newly released job numbers showed a resurging economy, the border wall was continuing to be built and executive orders were being drawn up to circumvent an intransigent Congress. ...

Playing dual roles as president and business owner, Trump seemed happy to facilitate a carefree evening for his members - despite the health risks. ...

"How do we add another head to Mt Rushmore? Asking for a friend...

After all, the president had told her in the Oval Office that he aspired to have his image etched on the monument. And last year, a White House aide reached out to the governor’s office with a question, according to a Republican official familiar with the conversation: What’s the process to add additional presidents to Mount Rushmore?

The problem with +1 is it sounds like approval. Putting Trump on Mt Rushmore would be like putting a cockroach on Mona Lisa.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more bizarre...

DONALD TRUMP PLAYS 'LIVE AND LET DIE' AT CAMPAIGN SPEECH AS VIRUS DEATH TOLL CLIMBS

"In a week of gaffes, Donald Trump has now had his taste in music criticized after a jarring song choice at a campaign speech.

As the US Covid-19 death toll hits 160,000, and experts say 300,000 could die by year's end, the Donald rocked out to Guns and Roses' cover of Wings' "Live and Let Die" before his speech at the Whirlpool washing machine factory in Ohio.

Journalist Robert Mackey from The Intercept shared the video, pointing out the incongruous choice, given that not only had the virus killed 1400 Americans the day prior but even Ohio's state Governor Mike DeWine had tested positive and couldn't attend the event.

It isn't the first time the song has played at a Trump event. It provided the soundtrack for the President's visit to a face mask factory in May.

Social media reactions to the choice were fierce, with many providing biting suggestions on what songs might be next for the Trump campaign.

Others suggested that Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" might be apt while another wit added if he was going to use a Paul McCartney song he should use "Back in the USSR".

Many asked whether Paul McCartney or Guns and Roses would be okay with the use of the song.

Guns and Roses have gone public before with disdain for Trump's use of their music, releasing a T-shirt with a "Live and Let Die with Covid 45" after the mask factory visit.

100 per cent of the proceeds from the T-shirt sales went to the Recording Academy's MusiCares, which provides services and resources to those in need in the music community.

Earlier this week, Trump mispronounced a commonplace name during a campaign event.

It was the southeast Asian country of Thailand that proved a problem for the US President, who pronounced it "Thigh-land".

"Shifting production to Thigh-land," Trump said during the speech at a washing machine factory in Ohio, before correcting himself.

"Thailand and Vietnam, two places that ... I like their leaders very much."

Twitter users didn't hold back in mocking Trump, leaping on the opportunity to post a series of gags and memes after video of the gaffe went viral."

There's more. Well worth a read :-)

Personally, I'd be very happy to see Trump's head on Mount Rushmore 😜

Trump doesn't need anything added to Mt.Rushmore, he's already got monuments to his presidency all over the US, a bit like this...

This is very similar to how people behaved at the end of another regime, with things collapsing around them they'd go up into the ruins of the Reich Chancellery and party and listen to promises of how they were just around the corner from a great victory at which point everything would be wonderful again.

Memo to Trump: 'You've Been So Desperate To Sabotage The Constitutionally Mandated Census'

MSNBC

Reverend Al Sharpton slams the president for attempting to manipulate the census count. The brazen attempt directly disenfranchises communities of color.

Trump goes to the circus, and is photographed with circus clowns. The press secretary is trying to figure out what caption to use, "Donald Trump among clowns", "Donald Trump and clowns", and "Clowns surround Donald Trump", but they all seem a bit politically suspect. Eventually after long consideration the picture is published: "Third from left, Donald Trump".

(Variant of an old Khruschev joke).

In fairness, that mass funeral picture was in Brazil. The Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has a slightly worse COVID-19 leadership than Trump.

So it's natural that the US then Brazil are #1 and #2 in deaths.
