Everyone needs to just ignore Trump, I would say until this is over, but I’m thinking just forever. Just ignore him. He has nothing useful to say.

Trump made the supply system into a game with only one rule: He has more power than anyone. Then Hogan played a round and won. So actually it’s Trump who’s befuddled. He wants you to come to him, hat in hand.

“Just yesterday he was saying that the governors are responsible for this, they’re on the front lines, so we should just get it done,” the governor told the MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-hosts. “And then we did get it done, and then we got criticized.”

Might the point be tha Donnie really doesn’t want more testing? That certainly fits with,

…Trump claimed out of nowhere that Hogan “didn’t really understand what was going on”

And Hogan’s a Republican? Really, he’s gotta get with the program!

Time to switch parties, Gov. Hogan. And “I” or a “D” after your name would look much better than what you’ve got now.

“And then somehow it went off the rails yesterday in that press conference, but I have no idea why,” the Maryland governor said.

Really? Because Trump is a vindictive self-absorbed narcissist. You showed him up, that you could do his job better than he did, so he needed to bring you down a peg, obviously you don’t know what you’re doing Mr. governor… /s Put another way, as usual, Trump is projecting.

Someone should tell Trump that due to Hogan being a cancer survivor, he doesn’t give a sh-- about Trump’s feelings.

He respects the office, but Trump doesn’t scare him.

Whoa there, Big Fella! Just 'cuz Hogan got the public health thing right doesn’t make him a potential Dem. He picked the American DeathEaters for a reason when he chose his political and moral affiliation.

Larry, Larry, Larry. You seem to be a nice guy for a Republican, but I bet your wife is the smarter one of the both of you.
