    Listen to Bolton speak on any topic. The listen to Rump speak. Largest administration turnover in history - it's been a revolving door. All those people are wrong and Rump is the only one right ?? Add to Bolton, General Mattis, General Kelly, etc. I rest my case.

    Trump needs to sing the tune 'My Way' to an empty arena.



    Trump gives grievance-filled speech to unfilled arena as protests stay mostly peaceful

    Trump gives grievance-filled speech to unfilled arena as protests stay mostly peaceful

    excerpt:

    "In a speech lasting nearly two hours — filled with grievances, falsehoods and misleading claims — Trump said that because more testing means higher numbers of known coronavirus cases, his direction was to curtail it. “So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down,’” he said. A White House official said later the president was “obviously kidding,” but he has previously expressed skepticism about testing, which public health experts say is required to contain the outbreak.

    Trump also downplayed the severity of the virus, fixating on the number of names used for it — and offering one, “Kung Flu,” a racially offensive term."

    Trump not only uses a revolving door for hiring, he recycles old members.

    He brought back Hope Hicks who had quit.

    He also reclaimed McEntee to lead the White House Office of Personnel which is responsible for hiring and firing.

    McEntee was previously kicked out of the White House by the Secret Service for possible criminal behavior.

    In addition to Trump's sabotage of healthcare and head-in-the-sand response to the coronavirus are the damaging effects of his trade wars. They have damaged the coal industry by causing retaliatory tariffs and contributing to a slowdown in the economy of China and other countries.

    The electoral swing states that have significant sectors of steel, aluminum, and agricultural products have been particularly prone to the effects of Trump's economic foreign policies.

    Trump is now asking for a second term to try to win all of the wars he said would be so easy to win.

    Trump's Trade War With China Is Hurting Those Energy-Producing States He Won

    excerpt:

    "Take Pennsylvania, where 1.6 million of its people have jobs dependent on foreign trade: That includes those in natural gas production as well as steel and agriculture. The natural gas, for example, could get exported to China, which will now get it from Qatar, United Arab Emirates or Russia. Pennsylvania is already feeling pain from the solar tariffs imposed earlier in the year. Overall, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says that tariffs could cost the state $1.7 billion."

    Trump makes jokes about Biden being in a basement (like Trump in his bunker), but Biden raised more campaign money in May than the incumbent Trump with all his bluster and White House apparatus.

    Trump campaign raised $74 million in May, short of Biden's haul

    excerpt:

    "Former Vice President Biden has stepped up fundraising in recent months since becoming the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee for the Nov. 3 presidential election.

    He has also built a lead over Trump in national opinion polls amid the twin crises of the pandemic and civil unrest over police brutality in many U.S. cities.

    In May, Biden and the Democratic National Committee raised $80.8 million, their largest single month of fundraising."

    Did you read the last part? The guy said orders were down, and not necessarily because of the pandemic. Normal people to vg: wake the fuck up.

    but trump only hires the best people.

    Look at it this way, Trump is making a growth industry out of Federal correctional facilities. As more of his people cross paths with the law, there is great cheering in Marion,Ill and Lompoc.

    "he's not the sharpest tool in the shed is he bless his heart".

    True, but trump would prefer they use private prisons. That way he could get a kickback.

    Trump's remark when leaving the White House for the Tulsa rally:

    "The crowds are unbelievable. They haven't seen anything like it."

    As usual, like his crowd sizes, Trump frivolously looks through the myopic lens of how a situation makes him appear cosmetically, even one where over 120,000 U.S. citizens have died due in part to a lack of infrastructure elements such as testing and contact tracing that could mitigate a pandemic.

    Trump's staffer are once again using the stale excuse that he was only joking about reducing testing.

    Even if it had been a joke, a deadly pandemic isn't good subject matter for public jokes by the president. Some of the victims are Trump supporters or their relatives and friends.



    ‘This is unfortunately not a joke’: Harvard doctor reacts to Trump’s comments on COVID-19 testing at Tulsa rally
    “This is incredibly frustrating for the millions of Americans who have gotten sick and have not been able to get tests.”

    Harvard doctor reacts to Trump’s comments on COVID testing at Tulsa rally | Boston.com

    excerpt:

    "“This is unfortunately not a joke,” Jha added of Trump’s comments on testing. “It’s led to more than 100,000 Americans having died largely because we have not built up the testing infrastructure that our country needs.”

    The Harvard doctor also said he disagreed with the president’s assertion at the Tulsa rally that the coronavirus is “fading away” in the U.S.

    “We’re seeing a resurgence in many parts of the country, and we have to remember we are early days in this pandemic,” Jha said. “Not only is it not fading now, this is going to be with us for at least another 12 months — and that’s the most optimistic scenario for having a vaccine. So unfortunately it is not fading away, and, in many parts of the country, it’s only getting worse.”"

    Trump currently appears to be fading away, not the coronavirus.

    Your imaginary nurse wife disagreed that not wearing eye protection alongside a face mask was moronic?

    Once again, the primary purpose of wearing a mask is to protect others, not the wearer. Wearing eye covering is relevant only if the primary purpose is to protect the wearer. It may be difficult for you to comprehend, but some of us are concerned about the welfare of others.

    Trump should conduct better intel for such an event next time before he makes such statements.

    One of his staffers could have sent him some pics of the sparse gathering as he was leaving DC, not to mention all the hi-tech image technology he has at his disposal as the president.
