I am sticking with my at least 10 point landslide.

My old man came around, but he's a PhD, so not a complete and total.

I've cursed in over 50% of my posts if not 99% and I give you the OK?

This worse than worthless grifting blob of shit piss and cheeseburgers has no chance, especially when people's nanas and paws start dropping as expected....

Leave no quarter for these fucking worst humans, because they'd even want that?



Good Luck!

I think people like that live in constant fear that they'll be found out to be inept frauds.

That's why they constantly insist on reassurance and work so hard and desperately to bend everyone's perception of reality to treat them as if they are the greatest at everything.

Because they know they aren't.

People with actual confidence don't behave like that.

Remember: if Trump says it, it's a lie.

He KNOWS he has screwed up the pandemic response from the git- go and he is scared shitless that he won't be able to prevent that truth from being widely acknowledged. His "I'd give myself a 10" is whistling past the graveyard.

Not only does Trump rate his COVID-19 response as a "10," but a large percentage of his followers regard him as a greater president than Lincoln. You can't reason with the mentality because it hails from a different perception of reality...

What is amazing is that there actually are people dumb enough to believe him.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/14/trump-coronavirus-twitter-feed-covid-19-129170
The president follows only 47 accounts on Twitter, a collection of family members, conservative pundits, administration officials and Trump-brand properties.

......—when Trump opens his own Twitter feed, he scrolls through something very different.

The picture Trump sees, in a nutshell: That the coronavirus crisis is someone else’s fault (China, Joe Biden, etc.), that he’s doing a great job responding to it, and that a Trump-hating media is just fanning the flames.


Narrative #3: Trump is doing a great job
Critique of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis is largely absent from his Twitter feed. Instead, his allies have heaped praise on the administration’s response.

“Deeply impressive extraordinary partnership of America’s best and brightest business & government gathered at White House under leadership of @realDonaldTrump & @VP,” tweeted Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera after Friday’s national emergency declaration. “They and we are going to kick #Corona’s ass.”

“This is a very good call,” conservative political commentator Eric Bolling tweeted on Friday in response to reports that Trump was planning to declare a national emergency.

“This is the leadership @realDonaldTrump was elected to provide,” tweeted Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, after the president’s Oval Office address on Wednesday night. “Acting early & decisively he put the U.S. on much better footing than other nations in handling the coronavirus.”

“President Trump is exactly right: ‘smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow,’” tweeted Congressman Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican close to the White House. “The President’s actions are proactive and decisive. This is exactly what we need to keep Americans safe and healthy.”

And a tweet from Eric Trump shared simply the headline of an adulatory New York Post column: “Trump passes coronavirus test with flying colors.”

Voice, repeating every statement three times verbatim, jutting out his jaw and turning his lips down so we recognize his serious face, punctuated by the odd head bobble so we can tell he's taking in every word by someone else....YUCK!! It was bad enough once in a while since 2015, but every single day? Cruel and unusual is what I think!
