Crazed man in White House. Republicans are good with this, right? Dear Leader has spoken. President Trump retweeted a call to fire his top infectious disease specialist Anthony S. Fauci Sunday evening, amid mounting criticism of the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic. Recent polls have shown that Americans trust Fauci much more than they trust Trump, which could rankle the president. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/13/trump-fire-fauci-coronavirus/If you get caught in trump’s sphere, only two things can happen - 1) your principals, whatever they might have been (and for most of these folks, they weren’t great) get eroded away and you turn into a cartoon character villain or 2) you stick to your principals you will get dragged through the mud by trump and his proxies and eventually get fired. There is no doubt that all the competent people working this virus problem will be fired before too long and his supporters will be talking about they never knew what they were doing and made the problem worse. We’re already seeing this in the way guys like that are revising history and making trump the hero of this story. A hero needs a foil and it will certainly be the doctors trying to advise him and keep him from acting on his worst impulses. But, those folks can’t win and will get fired. It’s guaranteed. Even worse, your principles could get eroded...

If bad grammar is disqualifying, there are some tweets I would like you to read.

Rather than tackle the early stages of the pandemic as an operational crisis, the Trump administration decided to go all in on attacking the dilemma of messaging instead. To them, facts did not matter as much as perception.
Rather than personifying the larger than life myth of the great deal maker, an image he has nurtured for decades in New York real estate, Trump has cowered into the posture of a hackneyed politician valuing approval ratings and self-preservation over results. The buck stops with him only if it ends up in his pocket.
Rather than offering statements of empathy to a bereaved and beleaguered nation such as "I feel your pain," he declares his narcissism and bankrupt soul by asking us to feel his pain instead. Nasty.
Our nation has been afflicted.

"Jared and his friends decided they were going to do their thing," one official said, referring to the president's son-in-law. "It cost weeks."
Jamelle Bouie: "If I’m reading this right, Kushner’s team gives generous contracts to industry to produce goods that the administration then distributes on the basis of an opaque formula that happens to most benefit politicians supportive of the president."
Failure after failure after failure with a side of crony capitalism.

Our nation has been afflicted. And Duturtle goes one step farther than his friend: On 1 April, President Rodrigo Duterte said in a televised address that he has ordered police, military and barangay (village) officials to shoot “dead” people who may protest or question government measures during the imposition of community quarantine in response to COVID-19 pandemic. (Amnesty International).

Here's why Trump fired Glenn Fine and has nominated his flunkie for the IG position over the CARES Act - call it Trump's "pre-corruption coverup." More than 80 percent of the benefits of a tax change tucked into the coronavirus relief package Congress passed last month will go to those who earn more than $1 million annually, according to a report by a nonpartisan congressional body expected to be released Tuesday. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/14/coronavirus-law-congress-tax-change/

Another illogical decision meant to shift blame away from himself.
Always looking for someone else to blame for his own ineptitude.

They don't remember Trump's praise of PRC President Xi similar to the WHO? Is it down to zero yet? Nope, approaching 30,000 deaths. Congrats Trump cultists and the Republican Party! The self-proclaimed party of personal responsibility is now led by Donald "I take no responsibility at all" Trump.

Apparently many of those on the Economic Council didn’t know they were on it until their names were announced yesterday. Much like Google didn’t know they were making a nationwide website until Trump announced it. These types of lies are extraordinary even for him. The fact he’s done it twice in the last month is just inexplicable. If, come November, Joe Biden believes a houseplant is his wife and only repeats stories about how he served in the Civil War, he is still more mentally fit to run the country than Trump. We literally could do no worse at this point. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-launched-a-coronavirus-economic-council-without-telling-members-they-were-on-it?source=articles&via=rss

It strikes me as just another day at the office.

How many people currently complaining about their inability to ascertain the whereabouts of their stimulus checks applauded the continual defunding of the IRS? Can’t have it both ways. If you want a less efficient IRS, this is what you get.
