Trump's delivery

Trump's delivery last night, was very untrumplike. I suppose he was trying to appear "Presidential," an act he couldn't pull off. His subdued monosyllabic delivery, without the usual attacks on his "enemies" was a bit disconcerting. I am not sure that it was really Trump speaking, but perhaps some sort of automaton driven by artificial unintelligence. At a time that we need dynamic leadership, we got Trump.

The fool may have come to a realization that the flu is a real issue, and knows that he has no solutions other than to try to divert more of our money to the rich.

Stopping travel from Europe reminds me of the old song, "Too Much, Too Little Too Late." He needed to do something, because he has nothing. News Flash D.J., the cat is already out of the bag. He has run up against a problem that he can't sue, bully, or buy his way out of and he is dazed and confused. He has nothing. We are sailing in very dangerous waters with no captain at the helm.

This is what the people get when they elect their leaders based on emotion.

worried about? Jared is reading up on this virus, just as he did before he "solved" other world problems. There must be a way to pad the tRump coffers, in order to get Jared involved.

slowed down to a trickle. So much so that the very few that might have symptoms wouldn't even matter. It's already out and probably about to run rampant.

if you haven't seen this yet, click on the video to hear the sound. It doesn't look like anything's happening in the beginning, be patient for a few seconds.

anyone else think he was just struggling to read? He isn't a big reader, likely reads at a 4th grade level. I mean really!

Trump spoke to bolster the confidence of Wall Street. We see how that turned out this morning.

It seems that every time he addresses the nation the markets tank; it is called Making America Great Again.
