Trump: I’m Doing a Great Job Fighting the Coronavirus, and 100,000 of You Will Die

Seriously, literally, things that Trump touches are dying, and he’s still just making shit up to get him through each day, and then making up different shit the next day.Rick Wilson:

“It was inevitable that Trump would face a crisis immune to tweets or stupid memes or insulting nicknames. The damage he does to everyone and everything around him has become an iron law of American politics, an invariable and inevitable process. Still, I didn’t think it extended to everyone in the country; that it would produce actual bodies stacked like cordwood in a preventable, slow-rolling pandemic. When I wrote Everything Trump Touches Dies, I didn’t mean it literally.”

“Donald Trump seems intent on proving me wrong.”

“Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus has veered between tragicomic and insidious in the past weeks. Disturbingly – and even now, it’s disturbing — all while still leaving him seemingly unmoved by the brutal realities facing us in the coming months. He’s made a few pro-forma nods to the deaths to date and to come, but expressed no genuine human sympathy for either the dead or the army of heroic doctors, nurses, EMTs in viral war zones in almost every hospital in the nation.”

“Nothing changes him. Nothing moves him unless it gives him adulation, money, or an erection.”

1. How come he is the only one that ever brags about him?

How come other people don't talk about the great job he is doing?

Is he the only one that thinks he is doing a great job?

[ffr]

2. Hopefully we can use his character flaws of killing Americans and not caring

against him in November, to sway enough democrats to vote as if their lives depended on it. If not for themselves, for others looking out for them. We're all in this together. We get out of it together.

3. We are overdue

for a Emperor who wears no clothes comment, I want to see him throw a PE or embolism.

We will never kiss his ass.

[Hugin]

4. I'm not kidding when I call him King Scat Midas...

Stone cold serious.

To crap... Everything he touches.

5. "Nothing changes him

Nothing moves him unless it gives him adulation, money....” I would hazard a guess that the erection doesn't come into play anymore... adulation and money will have to do

6. Like a teenager.

11. Good analogy. Teenagers have a really flat reaction to things that are not

biting THEM in the ass.

7. And the bigger question is, how does this not change his supporters?

For god’s sake, do they not see reality?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. They want to be just like him! That wish governs them. n/t

[Laffy Kat]

9. They see something of themselves in him.

And that is truly terrifying.

[Neema]

10. They're Branch Covidians. They'll set fire to themselves for him.

Why? No idea.

[Blue_true]

12. He massage their insecurities regularly, so they are set.

It will take their loved ones literally dropping dead from COVID-19 to scratch their opinions of Trump.

[DEbluedude]

14. No, they are The People From the Land of Make Believe.

15. ****NO !!!***** To a person they're influenced by FAUX News et al. Humans can not go past what

... they do or don't know.

FAUX News like stations is what caused Syria

We had the Fairness Doctrine to keep public media outlets from aligning themselves with political parties for just this reason.

We need the Fairness Doctrine back

[renate]

13. It's pointless to try to bring him down without going after his fuel

Fox News.

As long as they continue to fluff him in public without shame, his followers will never hear what they need to hear.

I don’t understand why there isn’t a nationwide boycott of any and all advertisers on that malignancy of a channel.
