Trump is finally facing a crisis that eludes his capacities to con.

He can’t bully the coronavirus.

He can’t intimidate it into submission.

He can’t convince it to go away or make a deal with it.

He's out of tricks, and the safety of the American people is on the line.

1. . . . and it's compounded by declining markets and ecoonomies

[Maybe there is a . . . god]?

2. His cult still believes him

They openly reject the word of the scientists and doctors. They ignore the infection counts and deaths in China. To do that they must believe that this is all a Democratic hoax. How can they be so stupid?

Lying is the key to his success

5. True

But the media is still not holding him accountable nearly as much as they should. People have endured unnecessary, suffocating, torturous deaths because of this man's ego. If this was Obama, multiple news outlets (including MSNBC) would be calling on him to resign. Both Dems and GOP would be calling for his resignation also. We need some CDC and WHO whistleblowers.

6. We can all be sure that tRUMP is going to use this COVID-19 to increase his personal wealth.

If only we had some laws to prevent that...oh wait...
