I got nothing
A statement so outrageous and tone deaf as to disable the senses

This response from the Trump maladministration is so awful, so out in left field that someone with Trump’s ear had to organize it this way.

So much for the new tone. Tell that to the families of the dead.

To begin with the Trump/Pencedemic would not be raging America like no other country if instead of Mike Pence, Trump had appointed someone to lead the effort who actually believed in science. Or to put another way, instead of treating COVID like it was all about Trump and his reelection, had Trump treated the COVID like it was a real health threat to America, the Trump/Pencedemic would not be headed to a town near you.

Yup, he was never up for the job, the skill set needed to be an effective leader is not something he possess, time to go and get someone capable of doing the job

glad he finally admits it, next step is to resign

in words attributed to the dotard: “Yer Fired!”

‘I’m not responsible!’ ‘All those BLUE STATE Governors are ridiculous and I did it ALL!’ ‘YADA YADA YADA!’ ‘I don’t know what MORE I could have done…’… The evolution of a buffoon who didn’t do jack.

Perfectly logical statement when you don’t have any idea of what you are doing.

The complete quote actually is: “I’m not sure I could have done anything more to make matters worse.” (w/ht to Nancy P.)

But each and everything that isn’t praise or adoration of Dear Leader is an attack on Trump, and therefore an attack on his reelection.
What’s that thing from the Godfather about it’s not personal, it’s only business? Well Trump never heard it.

Trump did not ban travel from China. He banned Chinese from coming here as though the virus could not come via non-Chinese
travelling from China

In the event Covid reached NYC via Europe proper.

“We’ve done more than I think any administration has done,” Trump told the NBC-affiliated station when asked to reflect on his term as President, adding that “nobody even challenges that.”

As far as I can tell yours is the ONLY administration in power during this pandemic and yes your non-action, dereliction of duty and total absence of anything resembling leadership has been and will continued to be challenged.

Now…go rage tweet or play golf. It’s all that you do day in and day out anyway.

In WWII the US organized and equipped an army in short order. Trump couldn’t be bothered to organize masks.
