Trump is always fuming. The key is not to inhale those fumes.

Mark Meadows should know much better than to say that Trump is not a clear path to a full recovery. Obviously, in Trump’s world, only losers get very sick from and/or die of COVID-19. So, Meadows basically called Trump a loser. Not very smart of Meadows to veer from the happy talk!

It’s almost as if when he said he hired only the best he was somehow mistaken?

Meadows has been Chief of Staff for a long time. Trump would benefit from a personnel change to assure he continues to receive accurate information.

Is Trump really mad at Meadows, or is he mad that their scheme to drum up sympathy didn’t happen on the scale that Trump thought was appropriate? How many people showed up at WR for a candle light vigil, or how many candle light vigils were held across the country for the Dear Leader?

I’m afraid that he’s going to be a broken, angry, damaged creature right to the bitter end. He’s way beyond change or redemption.

No need for concern. Trump is the most fit morbidly obese president in US history.
