    Trump made Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar go missing in action and replaced him with Pence to be the health czar.

    Azar didn't gain any traction with Trump after calling him at Mar-a-Lago and while he was enroute to another campaign rally to warn him of the looming threat of the coronavirus.

    The president was personally warned about the growing crisis beginning in mid-January – but continued to give false assurances to the American public

    'It will disappear': the disinformation Trump spread about the coronavirus – timeline

    excerpts:

    "18 January

    The health secretary, Alex Azar, calls Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and briefs him on the coronavirus threat, but “Trump spent much of the conversation wanting to talk about vaping”, the AP reported."


    "30 January

    Azar warns Trump again

    As the World Health Organization declares a global health emergency, Azar, the health secretary, again warns Trump about the looming threat. Taking Azar’s call aboard Air Force One en route to a campaign rally, Trump dismisses him as “alarmist”, the New York Times reported."


    "25 February

    On the way back from India, Trump reportedly called Azar and complained that Messonnier was scaring the stock market."

    The Legacy of Jim Jones and the Cult of Donald Trump

    The Legacy of Jim Jones and the Cult of Donald Trump

    excerpt:

    "Jim Jones was persuasive, paranoid, and power-hungry. He thrived on attention, adoration, and adulation. He had a complicated relationship with his father, groomed his children to take over the family business, plotted against his enemies, held grudges, and cheated on his wife. He was equal parts bully and charmer. Sound familiar?

    If you are among the majority of Americans displeased with the Trump administration, you might see similarities between Jim Jones and the President. For the “resisters,” Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, reactionary policies, and racist dog-whistles go beyond typical partisan divide. And the unwavering devotion of his base can mirror a cult mentality.

    Ideologically speaking, President Trump and Jim Jones have little in common. Jim Jones preached the virtues of socialism, pacifism, and racial egalitarianism. He adopted children from various ethnicities to create a “rainbow family.” He inspired hope amongst his followers for global harmony, benevolence, and peace. Ultimately, however, he used isolation, authoritarianism, and violence to control them.

    Almost no one survived the Jonestown massacre, but among them was Jim Jones’s son Stephan, who was away from the commune that day at a basketball game. While he escaped death, he lost everything, and was left to grapple with the legacy of his dad and the Peoples Temple.

    “I see so many parallels [between Donald Trump and Jim Jones], it’s ridiculous” Stephan Jones told me. He believes that, like his father, President Trump is a narcissist and relies on similar manipulation tactics. Mr Jones said, “My dad would meet someone, quickly read what you feared most and what you wanted most, and convince you that he was the one to save you from one and give you the other.”"

    Bloggers refer to Gaetz and Trump as Frat Boy and Fat Boy.

    Like they did with fishing, Trump supporters now have a opportunity to hold Beer First! protest rallies after thanking Trump for low gasoline prices which resulted from a crippled econony caused in part by Trump's botched virus response.

    Low demand for gasoline has caused a low demand for ethanol and a shortage of its CO2 byproduct which can cause higher beer prices.

    Trump and his adherents can concoct another truther narrative that blames higher beer prices on Democratic governors in electorally significant swing states that Trump needs for his 2020 election.



    Priority For Dwindling CO2 Supplies - Beer First!

    Priority For Dwindling CO2 Supplies - Beer First!

    excerpt:

    "The lack of ethanol output is disrupting this highly specialized corner of the food industry, as 34 of the 45 U.S. ethanol plants that sell CO2 have idled or cut production, said Renewable Fuels Association Chief Executive Geoff Cooper."

    "CO2 suppliers to beer brewers have increased prices by about 25% due to reduced supply, said Bob Pease, chief executive officer of the Brewers Association. The trade group represents small and independent U.S. craft brewers, who get about 45% of their CO2 from ethanol producers."

    It's how narcissists move goal posts and abuse. I think even Trumpers will admit this is how their debate goes.


    That didn't happen. (corna is a hoax)

    And if it did, it wasn't that bad. (only a few people die anyway)

    And if it was, that's not a big deal. (it's the flu)

    And if it is, that's not my fault. (" I take no responsibility")

    And if it was, I didn't mean it. ( fake news is lying about what I said. If you were smart you would understand)

    And if I did...

    You deserved it. (governors need to praise me or else)


    He's done the same thing will pretty much any topic he has spoken on. But for his voters the alternative to calling out lies is admitting people like me are right.

    The mentality of the Trumpers is this: If Trump kicks them in the balls - literally or figuratively - and he blames a Democrat, or the guy down the street, or the guy on TV, or China, or the dog ……………….. they believe him !!!!!

    For those that KNOW history - this same tactic of rolling out simple answers to complex problems, is the very same tactic employed by Hitler and Mussolini. I'm not saying Trump is a murderer & a butcher. (before someone accuses me of equating Trump with Hitler in all things) But the scenarios are very similar. People in all 3 countries - Germany, Italy, and U.S. - felt disenfranchised and passed by. They weren't doing well financially, GOOD-PAYING jobs were lost (outsourced here in the U.S.) and millions of people were feeling left behind, losing in life, trapped, nowhere to turn, etc.

    Then Mussolini, Hitler, and recently Trump - took to loudly throwing out very simple answers to very complex problems. Quick, simple solutions. No one can fix complex problems with the flick of a switch - I don't care who they are or what party they belong to. But Trump's faithful LEMMINGS have sucked down the Kool-Aid, the worm, the lure, the hook, line, and sinker.

    Trump famously made the boast that he could go into Times Square, shoot somebody, and he wouldn't lose votes. I'm sure that's true of his base. But what does that say about the wisdom, intellect, and sense of justice of our country these days?? --------------- Pretty damn sad.

    Right wing demagogues at work. This strategy works for them until it goes boom! in their own hands. Can happen because they drag their country in all out war, or in the case of Trump, who clearly isn't even smart, nor has guts enough to rival big bad guys like adolf or benito (those guys were monstrous dickheads of apocalyptic size, but also badasses in their own right) because he spends his time doing jack shit while barking around at anyone who does not lick his arse and believes the last piece of bullshit he made up out of thin air, letting everything go down the drain for his sheer uselessness. But he's good at being a pompous narcissistic idiot.
