President Petulant Man-Child

[Roland99]

And as the petulant man-child winds his day down, after the worst market performance in 33 years, US Covid cases having doubled over the last two days, the entire country virtually shutting down, Covid test kits still woefully lacking, a pathetically ineffective travel ban in place, a plan for an idiotic tax cut that will only hurt programs that need it now more than ever, what’s he do?

He tweets 3rd-grade insults and vainly boasts about some approval rating from some unnamed poll about his handling of this situation.

He’s all about the optics. He’s all about the stroking of his immensely fragile ego

I’ve never seen nor have any knowledge of anyone lacking more in empathy than the narcissistic asshat taking up residence in the White House.

1. Vlad wanted to hurt America with Trump as POTUS and he got that done.

[SallyHemmings]

6. Mission Accomplished

[Scarsdale]

15. In spades!

Never has this country been so low in terms of reputation, examples to the rest of the world. We are a total, complete laughingstock. Thanks GOP.

2. "Not our fault"

I was struck, when he was talking about why he didn't want the cruise ship passengers to be moved ashore because it would result in higher numbers of covid infections, that he said those infections "would not be our fault." "Our faultl?" What the hell? Keep those people in a situation which can do nothing but exacerbate the danger to their health so he won't be *blamed* for an uptick in reported cases? Remember the Family Circle cartoons where the kids blamed everything on "I didn't do it?"

9. Dems really need to make a campaign ad out of those callous remarks of his.

[tblue37]

11. "Not me!" was the guilty gremlin in the " The Family Circus." nt

4. It's all about him.

Not one thought or any concern for the people who are sick and suffering. He is absolutely repulsive.

5. Trump has a 78% approval rating for his handling of this crisis -- the highest ever recorded!

Many people (a record number, in fact) are saying how unprecedented that is. No lie!

[AZ8theist]

13. I heard it was a more BIGLY number!!

Like 98% Approval rating!!

And 9 BILLION people watched his Oval Office broadcast and fears DISAPPEARED!!
And he actually WON THE POPULAR VOTE!! People are saying!!
And that picture of him shirtless IS REAL!! What a HE-MAN!!!

7. He truly has no redeeming qualities. The Trump virus has exposed his gross incompetence. Something

needs to be done about Fox literally destroying the country. Without Fox, Trump support would quickly crumble.

[Hotler]

8. The man is an ignorant asshole. nt

[Scarsdale]

16. Some people never change.

tRump is what he has always been. He surrounds himself with people just like him, to try to make himself look better. It amazes me how many there are. It is as though they came out of the woodwork, to join this useless clown.

[Ponietz]

10. Hey, sociopath's gonna sociopath

The organization that installed him, though, sits among the most wretchedly evil in history.

[Capt. America]

12. He's a 73 year old mean girl.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. He's the worst person possible to be president at this time.

Every single one of his many character defects is being amplified big time. The lying, the manipulating, the need for constant praise, the lack of empathy, the narcissism, the sociopathy of a man who isn't even qualified to sweep the surface of Melania's tennis pavilion.

Congratulations, Republicans, you got just what you wanted. You had a chance to remove him, but you put your selfish needs ahead of the country's. I hope you pay big-time at the polls this November.

TRUMP DISMANTLED THE NSC PANDEMIC RESPONSE UNIT. That has to be repeated over and over again, especially when he or someone says, "No one could have foreseen this happening."
