    Trump has mistakenly referred to his defense secretary as Esperanto.

    Ben Carson tests positive for the coronavirus.

    The election victory party (which was really a loser gathering) that Trump held at the White House appears to have infected people, including Mark Meadows and Ben Carson.



    Trump election party draws scrutiny as Carson tests positive

    excerpt:

    "It was supposed to be a scene of celebration.

    Instead, the Trump campaign's election night watch party in the White House East Room — with few masks and no social distancing — is being eyed as a potential coronavirus super-spreading event and yet another symbol of President Donald Trump’s cavalier attitude toward a virus that is ripping across the nation and infecting more than 100,000 people a day.

    Ben Carson, the secretary for Housing and Urban Development, is the latest attendee to test positive, a department spokesperson confirmed. The event has been under scrutiny since another attendee, the president's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, contracted the virus, which has now killed more than 237,000 people in the U.S. alone."

    Trump didn't get a public interim report from Barr of Durham's investigation or any new investigations of Biden that he was demanding before the election.

    Trump wasn't able to follow through on his $200 gift cards to seniors gimmick.

    The virus stimulus package wasn't passed before the election, to Trump's chagrin.

    After the election, McConnell made a conciliatory statement about wanting to work with Democrats on a stimulus bill. Most of the wrangling over the bill was handled by Mnuchin at the White House rather than McConnell in the Senate.

    Trump contradicted Esper's explanation and made it clear that the removal of 11,000 U.S. troops from Germany was punishment for what he called Germany's dilinquent payments to NATO.



    President Trump fires Defense Secretary Mark Esper after contentious tenure

    excerpt:

    "Trump has been pushing for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and from bases located in Germany and South Korea, longtime allies. On July 29, Esper announced that 11,000 U.S. troops would be leaving Germany, relocating to U.S. and Italian bases.

    Esper had portrayed the move as a strategic move that afforded the Pentagon greater flexibility in confronting adversaries such as Russia and China. Trump demolished that explanation within an hour, telling reporters that Germany was "delinquent" in its payments to NATO."

    The Trump campaign continues to make unsubstantiated claims.


    From the Washington Post:

    "The campaign has not submitted a formal complaint to Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford (D), nor has it filed any new evidence in court. Ford tweeted about the allegations, saying his office had been flooded with questions about complaints that had not been filed with his office. “PR doesn’t cut it,” he tweeted. “File an official complaint.”

    Last week, the Trump campaign sent to the Justice Department a list of more than 3,000 voters who it claimed had voted illegally after moving out of state. Many of those voters had moved to addresses that were obviously for military installations both domestic and abroad, and military service members — as well as college students — may legally vote in Nevada even after moving elsewhere."

    Trump is still hoping to find over 10,000 fraudulent votes in Georgia that went to Biden.


    From the Washington Post:

    "The state is probably headed to a recount of the presidential election because of Biden’s narrow lead over Trump. The statewide recount, the first of its kind in Georgia, probably will unearth illegally cast votes, as there are in every election, Sterling said. But the recount probably will not “fundamentally” change the outcome of the election, he said.

    Noting that “every election is imperfect,” Sterling added: “We are going to find that people did illegally vote. That’s going to happen. … Is it 10,353? Unlikely,” he said, referring to Biden’s narrow margin as of Monday morning. “When the margins are this tight, every little thing matters, so this office will thoroughly investigate” potential issues during the recount, he said."

    Republican senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue of Georgia are upset they are involved in runoff elections. They are calling for the Secretary of State of Georgia, a Republican, to resign.

    It might be more judicious for the RNC to forget about Trump and focus on senate races in Georgia.


    Trump wants a recount in Wisconsin, but the RNC is shifting staff from that state to Georgia for Senate fight

    excerpt:

    "This person told CNBC that the move comes as the RNC is looking to put resources toward what could be two Senate runoffs set to take place in January. NBC News projected that the race between Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and and Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock will go to a runoff. That contest is expected to cost well over $100 million."

    Trump fired Bonnie Glick to continue his musical chairs game of unconfirmed acting officials.



    Bonnie Glick, second highest-ranking official at USAID, ousted - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "Bonnie Glick, the second highest-ranking official at the US Agency for International Development, was ousted Friday, two sources familiar with the situation told CNN.

    Glick's removal from the deputy administrator post came the same day that John Barsa's term as acting administrator of the agency expires under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, and sources believe that she was fired so he could remain at the helm.

    In a statement Friday evening, USAID confirmed that it had been Glick's last day at the agency and President Donald Trump had indeed named Barsa to her now-vacant post in an acting capacity."

    Trump didn't believe the seriousness of the coronavirus which cost him the election whose result he doesn't believe either.


    How Trump fumbled the coronavirus crisis and sabotaged his own reelection

    How Trump fumbled the coronavirus crisis and sabotaged his own reelection

    excerpt:

    "Raised on Norman Vincent Peale’s gospel of “positive thinking,” he could not admit to the obvious reality of the pandemic, because doing so would pierce the armor of machismo that constituted his allure. Later, he would depict face masks as weakness, facts as the luxury of coddled elites.

    “Don’t be afraid of Covid,” he tweeted after contracting the disease himself — and receiving the best care imaginable at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington, which led to a relatively speedy recovery for the president. He did not seem to grasp that ordinary Americans did not have the same access to cutting-edge treatments, and they were not attended to by a team of first-rate doctors. He had gotten over the disease, and he believed the rest of the country should too.

    Thirty thousand Americans have died in the month that has passed since Trump’s urging to not fear the disease."

    30,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths in the month leading up to the election.

    As U.S. death toll approached a quarter-million near election time, Trump issued a day of remembrance for those killed by illegal aliens.

    Trump and his following have never come to grips with the coronavirus death toll. All of their spinning of the number didn't marginalize the disease in the eyes of the public that knew better.
