25th Amendment, Haircuts and Beer
Trump is 25th amendment worthy NUTS. He’s using the power of the daily televised bully pulpit to spin insanity and propaganda during a world wide health emergency and is doing it by the invitation of the media and the Republican party. No other president has ever been given this kind of freedom to lie to the American people daily and campaign at government expense inside the White House. It’s journalistic malpractice for the media to keep covering him. It’s a failure of government that the Republican party is letting him get away with this. Over the past couple of days he’s been throwing the 25th amendment in America’s face while the Republicans in Congress close their eyes and dream of haircuts and beer.
Trump showed a campaign video of Governor Cuomo praising the federal government as a “great partner” at the top of his infomercial. All of the criticisms of Trump were edited out.
Trump says the video of people protesting the stay at home orders across the country are doing it responsibly. “I watched the protest and they were all six feet apart. It was a very orderly group of people. I’m with everybody.” When asked if he was inciting violence by calling for people to liberate the states he replied, “They’ve got cabin fever. They want their lives back. No, I am not. I’ve never seen so many American flags. These people love our country and they want to get back to work.”
Trump praised convicted criminals Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Roger Stone and called the DOJ lawyers and FBI agents from the Mueller investigation “crooked, dangerous, very bad, human scum.”
Trump says there is “tremendous capacity” for testing. He pulled out a swab to show everybody. Many people have never seen a swab. They use swabs to test for the coronavirus. “We have ordered a lot of them.” He said they sent some to the states but they lost them. “It was all ventilators. We are now the king of ventilator. Then they said we will get him on testing. Now we did that. It used to be ventilators, ventilators, ventilators now it’s testing, testing, testing.”
Trump patted himself on the back and bragged about the tremendous job he is doing. Reporters, after 3 ½ years, are starting to push back. One asked, “More than 22 million Americans are unemployed and 40,000 have died from COVID-19. Is this the time for self-congratulation?” Trump got pissed and said, “You’re fake news! You don’t have the brains you were born with! I’ve had the most unfair press in history!” When a reporter asked if he thought it was right that major corporations got a lot of money from the CARES Act that was meant for smaller companies he replied, “I know one thing, I didn’t get any, that’s for sure.” When asked if he thinks companies should be liable if they re-open too soon and their employees get sick, Trump said he didn’t know. They haven’t discussed it. “I’ll get you a legal opinion on that.”
Trump acted like he didn’t know what the reporters were talking about when they confronted him about doing rallies and golfing during February and March while a deadly virus was taking hold in the United States. “I don’t know about rallies. I really don’t know about rallies. I haven’t left the White House in months. I dunno. Did I hold a rally? I’m sorry I hold a rally.”
Trump talked about Trump when asked if he was concerned that downplaying the virus might get people sick. He went straight to default narcissism, “A lot of people love Trump right? A lot of people love me. I guess I’m here for a reason.”
Trump said hundreds of governors are calling him. Hundreds.
Trump referred to FEMA as FIFA.
Trump is panicking. He’s relying on his go-to attention grabber and MAGA favorite — immigration. Here we go. He tweeted last night: In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!
One of the hundreds of governors is supposed to visit the White House today — Governor Cuomo. Another one of the hundreds of governors, Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland, has secured thousands of coronavirus tests from South Korea for his state with the aid of his wife Yumi Hogan, a Korean immigrant who speaks fluent Korean. She would make phone calls in the middle of the night to get the job done. And then there is Republican governor, Brian Kemp of Georgia. Mere days after he learned that you can spread the virus without knowing you have it, he is bowing to MAGA pressure and is reopening all of their favorite businesses on Friday: Gyms, barbers and hair stylists, fitness centers, massage parlors, nail salons, and bowling alleys. Theaters and restaurants will open on Monday, April 27. He’s laying it on business owners that he caved under MAGA pressure. “The private sector has to convince the public it’s safe to go back into these businesses. If they don’t we have the ability to act on that.” He’s sending people to their deaths so that MAGAs can get a haircut and grab a beer.
