A swear I’m stealing a line from Josh himself but this sounds like Trump is “Doubling down in stupid” here.

Just checked and everyone will be pleased to know there’s a 5 pm Covid presser. Will Fauci still be there? Will he be allowed to talk? And, so another week in the Twilight Zone begins.

This, right here, this bullshit, is why it’s life-threateningly dangerous to “elect” a narcissist and sociopath. There is so much wrong with this f*ckin’ guy…it’s becoming tiresome to talk about it. Yet…no one does anything.

Even if it means we all die of COVID, we have to get out and vote. If it means our lives, we have to do it. If he wins again, we’re all royally f*cked.

He STILL thinks his “no one has appreciated us (me) enough” stylings are ‘working.’" Yeah, stick to the WHO, douchebag, that’ll show 'em.

Trump takes no responsibility, but he deserves a hell of a lot of blame.

“Trump Eyes WHO Cuts As He Seeks To Divert Attention From His Own COVID Response.”

That’s a blatant lie!

Trump offered NO response to COVID.

The virus won’t listen, but the WHO might. Oh the futility!

Cutting funding to the World Health Organization in the midst of a global pandemic is certainly on-brand for Trump.

Great ad here, btw, starring the words of Adam Schiff.

Do we have to say it?

This is no time to fuck with the WHO.

Save your insane, adolescent grievances for later.

There’s a worldwide crisis unfolding out there.

So ungrateful. Do you have any idea what this inconvenience has done to his golf game?

Have you ever noticed that Trump never does anything now? It’s alway tonight, tomorrow, next week, when such and such happens. It’s his tactic to postpone having to act and also to create an anticipation that keeps attention on him.

No, it’s sop for Donnie.
You may recall that at his internet conference, he roughly said, referring to his tweets, ‘I launch one and it goes up like a rocket ship.’ As in everyone’s looking at it.
What better way to draw attention than to try to defund the WHO in the middle of a pandemic?
The wanton criminality of it would be breathtaking if I didn’t have terminal outrage fatigue.
