TPM,

There are two major parties in American politics, and interesting races throughout the country. There is a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, forest fires in the west, food banks with a hundred or more in line each day, our debt is on track to exceed our gdp, and we already know about Trump’s uber-narcissism and utter absence of empathy.

I’ll stop by in a week or so, but for now, I’ve had enough all-Trump-all-the-time.

Brilliant thinking … and exquisite work by the 40-50 staffers / Secret Service folks who travel with you … and coordinate with the local teams and manage crowd control and closely interact with hundreds of others … and then interact with you … adjust your mic, fix your make-up, hand you your water, stand close to you for protection, open doors for you…
Pure genius…

The very epitome of Trump and his selfishness and callousness:

“Hey, I’m safe. The rubes are kept far away from me. I get tested multiple times a day. Anyone who will come in contact with me is tested first. Now pack the yokels in shoulder to shoulder without masks, cheering and chanting for an hour.”

They’re hoping that they can put it off until he can use it as an excuse to quarantine himself so that he can skip the debates.

I’ve blamed someone else! I no longer have any responsibility for the results!

Because literally the only thing he can comprehend is whether something is hazardous to himself. His MAGAt Minions are literally just props to him–just a cheering section for his own narcissistic insanity.

Just more proof he doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. His supporters should chant, Come to the rope line, come to the rope line!

Trump is supposedly a germphobe but I don’t believe that. I think it was an excuse to avoid contact with any other living thing, humans in particular.

Trump is fond of the phrase “I had (they left me with) no choice!” and its variants. He uses it quite regularly.
