This has got to be the best description of Trump that I've ever read.

Here is the President in the middle of a pandemic demanding that a reporter take off their mask to ask him a question (and getting rejected).

It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face.

He is the end result of careful inbreeding by the ultra-rich and shows just how far from reality they are.

The reason no one in the party will oppose him is not fear of reprisal. It is that at heart they agree with him. They may not be as willing to act out but they admire what he has achieved, if not all of his methods.

Good for the reporter for refusing. And it seemed to me that Trump was somewhat subdued in allowing the reporter to continue even though he hadn't removed his mask.

I mean in its own way it's a miracle. Sure, it's the most tragic kind of miracle and it may very well cause the death of the American experiment. But still, if you step back and behold it with cosmic indifference you cannot help but be almost awestruck.

It's like the inverse feeling of standing at the rim of the Grand Canyon. In both cases you're struck numb. "How can this thing be‽ It is incalculable." But rather than a soaring sense of awe, you feel an equally powerful well of dark gravity, your soul being eaten by despair.

You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as a cactus,
And as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch!
You're a bad banana, With a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch! Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders.You've got garlic in your soul,
I wouldn't touch you, With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch! You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness. Of a seasick crocodile,
Given the choice between the two of you, I'd take the seasick crocodile!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch! You're a nasty, wasty skunk!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks. Your soul is full of gunk,........

ago, I swear Trump would have at least been near the top of my list. 30 years or so of him being trashed by Doonsbury had me clued in to what he was worth.
