Hey, he added the 20-minute riff on ramp walking and water drinking. What else do they want?

The President uses the term “Kung Flu” again and says “COVID, COVID-19, COVID, I said what’s the 19. COVID-19, some people can’t explain the 19.”

Trump cannot figure out the year the virus emerged
A calendar is just too complicated for a genius

Not the only one. Kellyanne Conway asked what happened with covid-1 thru 18.

The emergency facility at NRG Stadium (Houston Texans) was closed in April since the city (and state) did not see the surge other East/West coast cities did.

Once The Medical Center facilities are at peak (I’d estimate approx 2 weeks)-- Houston at the least has a plan and the experience to expand medical care for COVID19 cases.

Jesus Christ. So there’s not even a pretense of a wall or any new “idea” at this point. It’s all grievance. He thinks he’s clever? How can ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND vote for this? How can the goddamn GOP even show their SORRY ASSES on the Senate floor? Sorry for the yelling; I’m just so bloody tired of it.

Which means Trump thinks this a plot to hurt his re-election chances, and make him look stupid.

What do mean by he thinks this pandemic is a plot?

FRESH FROM THE CONSERVATIVE FEVER SWAMPS (They tell it like it 'tis.):

Everyone knows George Soros and Jeff Bozo Amazon-Washington-Post have conspired to foist this fake pandemic on the world by paying off over 150 countries and hundreds of “crisis actors” to get fake sick and fake die.

It has been reported that Soros-Bozo payments to Italy alone account for 37.5869 percent of GDP. America’s unassailable paper of record, the Kushner-owned, New York Observer, that Bezos, hyped-up on steroids in pursuit of his not-hot, not a “10” girlfriend, financed the global COVID hoax because he is jealous of the Donald’s sexual prowess–which is only rumored because the Donald is so modest he makes his impressed conquests sign NDAs-- accomplishments. (Won the electoral college!! Largest inauguration crowd!!) Bozo teamed up with current Nazi, George Soros to bring down Trump. It is all very, very, UNFAIR!! No other president has been treated this unfairly!!‘’

(Btw, is Jeff Bozo’s girlfriend Mexican? Chain migration dating!! Can’t Bozo get a REAL American girl?)

If you mixed some QAnon /Storm stuff in here it would be almost like you distilled 4Chan down to a single post.

Gonna be a spike of cases in Phoenix because of trump. More than one person in that closely packed crowd in that church waiting for donnie to show has that virus. And they are shedding it every time they breathe. Gonna be dead folk jn a month from this.
Just sayin’

trying to control the outbreak without the emergency declaration

Why wouldn’t Trump end the emergency?

He’s already stated he isn’t responsible for anything.

And what is McConnell and the rest of the Senate doing about it? Nothing.

Good luck with getting an ICU bed.

This is an excellent point…Trump actually did have something to say in 2016 that fed into a lot of the problems in the US. His populist appeal really was there, mixed in with the racism and awfulness but it did attract some people. He actually had something to say that was different from the rest of the Republican party that spoke to a lot of poor, white people who felt underserved by the party (even without the racism).

He turned around and governed like a regular Republican though, and that really didn’t help the people he energized. He’s kept a lot of them going through the racism, but enough have dropped off (like women in the suburbs) that he’s really in danger of losing badly. Now is the time for him to come up with something, and they started that with “Keep America Great”, but that’s pretty much toast now with everything that has hit and, especially, his mismanagement of it. He now can’t point at anything and say it’s better, or doing great, at least not without lying (which he will of course do), and people can feel that. If we really charge forward into a big spike of the virus, it’s going to hit the economy much harder than if it was one hit (which is why Republicans have started saying another stimulus may be necessary). Many more dead people, many more businesses crashed, and a flailing president…the Republican party is heading towards self-immolation and they don’t even seem to realize it as they double down on Trump.

It’s a little over four months to the election…that’s a long time, something could change, but it sure feels like they are going to nerf it this time, badly. The cost in lives and livelihoods will be large though, and unnecessary.
