I had a parent who died of complications from Alzheimer’s. Because she’d never had adequate therapy, all the guilt and anger resulting from her abusive childhood was still there even when all the cognitive skills were gone.

With Trump: even as the frontal lobes disintegrate, all the hate and fear and irrational rage are still there.

I have never seen such an effective example of doing less than nothing as Trump.

Does he realize that his position is so stupid that it is laughable, If there weren’t people dying he would be a laughing stock.

The president has habitually both touted the quality of American testing for COVID-19 and blamed the practice of testing as a way to avoid addressing any personal failures or mismanagement of the coronavirus crisis in the United States which ranks highest worldwide in the number of reported infections.

I once worked with a salty old carpenter and one of his favorite sayings was “There’s no sense in being an idiot iffen you don’t show it” The idioticy is strong with this one.

Trump’s “leadership” will turn more and more into self-destructive pathos. We must not become a party to his mental illness.

At some point there will be a public acknowledgement of his mental condition.

He cannot kill school personnel like this.

Those who operate the schools while without protective protocols will die.
