As Trump’s presidency crumbles all around him, it is fascinating to watch how his pathology to seek approval from racist, anti-American Covidiots is causing him, without fail, to land on the wrong side of every major issue facing this country. His tricks are no longer working and even his attempts to try and do the things that he should have done six months ago are falling flat. Why? Because those who oppose him don’t believe him, and those who support him figure that he’s just saying what he thinks he needs to say to satisfy the dûmbášš libtards, so they’re ignoring him as well. They’re too brainwashed by half a year of bûllšhìŧ to be dissuaded from believing in anything else.
Peaceful protests about police brutality? Pretend that random, scattered acts of violence are the norm and send in your own troops. Masks? Claim that people should mask up, and then be photographed at a function standing there with no mask. Black Lives Matter? Tear gas them in order to have a photo op. The Yankees and the Nats take a knee? Decry them for it (God, I’m hoping they all take a knee at the game August 15 that the Yankees unwisely invited him to come throw out the first pitch. I wonder if they’ll have recorded boos blasting over the loudspeaker.). People are worried about sending their kids to school? Ignore their concerns and threaten to financially punish schools that don’t open fully. As we hit four million Covid cases, admit on one hand that “it will get worse before it gets better” but then double and triple down on magical thinking by declaring, “Sooner or later, it’s going to go away. I’ll be proven right.” He seriously still believes that one day you’ll be able to dispatch the Coronavirus by claiming that you don’t believe in it, maybe under the impression that it’s being spread by fairies from Neverland. (Which I guess makes sense, actually, since it generally spares children.).
Under the impression that they were doing him some good, he has reinstituted the insane 5 PM mini-rallies disguised as press conferences. Devoid of the presence of anyone who actually knows anything about viruses, he tries to reinvent himself and the idiot press is actually playing along, declaring that Trump has taken a new attitude. We all know that’s nonsense; he’s done this half a dozen times in the last three years, attempting to reinvent himself. The press dutifully reports the endeavor as if it means something and within a couple of days—hëll, sometimes the same day—he reverts to his previous persona. He’s not going to change because of the old saying: The first step in solving a problem is realizing that you have one. And Trump is psychologically incapable of doing that. He absolutely cannot admit anything that he’s done wrong, ever. He has literally said he takes no responsibility for the shambles that the US has made of the Coronavirus, although he is happy to take credit for the fact that Northern states, temporarily at least, have the virus under control. Why do they? Because they ignored his orders to open the states too soon. The states that followed his instructions are now Coronavirus hot spots. Of course they are.
Now people are hailing his decision to cancel the GOP conference in Jacksonville as part of his maturation process in realizing how dangerous it would be to have it occur. No, that’s not the reason at all. He’s doing it because a sizable number of representatives made it clear they had no intention of entering the vast Covid petri dish that that assemblage would have represented. He wasn’t worried about people getting the disease because he NEVER worries about that. He was concerned he was going to have a replay of Tulsa. In the US state that he switched to because the previous venue wouldn’t allow him to pack a convention center to the rafters, he was clearly worried that he was once again going to be standing on a stage facing thousands and thousands of empty seats. Tulsa was bad enough. If he failed to pack out the dámņëd GOP convention, it’s game over. THAT was the risk he didn’t dare take. So Trump now has a month to scramble and pull together a virtual convention while the Democrats have been planning theirs for four months. So, y’know, good luck with that.
Meanwhile he’s busy wishing well Jeffrey Epstein’s handler for underage girls. Brilliant. Freaking brilliant. I wonder if the same bozos who have tried to paint Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton as pedophiles have taken note. I doubt it. I’m sure they’ll be as aggressive about this as all the NRA members who claimed they needed their weapons to stand against the US government if it ever dispatched goon squads to round people up…and have vanished into the woodwork as those squads invade Portland and are being threatened to be turned loose on New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. All Democrat-run cities. I’m sure that’s just coincidence.
One thing is becoming clear: getting him out of office will require a massive, indisputable showing at the polls. Because any races that are close, Trump and the GOP will find some way to flip it to their side, no matter what.
