Meanwhile, from the White House Propaganda email, USA, USA, USA! "Gold standard by the media?" WTF is that? 1.5%! 1.5%! 1.5%!
US Passes South Korea in
Virus Testing as Trump Unveils Expanded Effort
“The United States has passed South Korea, considered the gold standard by the
media, in testing for the coronavirus, and, in hot spots like New York City,
has done several times more per capita than the Asian nation,” Paul Bedard
reports for the Washington
Examiner.
Over 5 million tests have been conducted in America to date, thanks to close
partnership between the Trump Administration and the private sector.
There's going to be a tremendous 4th quarter. Said by Team trump Treason at his presser for 1,000,000 covid cases and 57,000+ deaths. Asked if Team Trump Treason could speak to losing his friend or other people that he knows and what that was like, he couldn't express one emotion other than to say its a horrible death. Does a soul eater have any soul?

I made the mistake of looking at his timeline this morning. It was around 8 maybe. There was what seemed like 30 tweets/retweets by that time.....not including the ones he made after midnight last night.
And some people still think it's a normal lesser of two evil thing this year. This man is insane.
Hey supporters of the currently elected president....
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU

I looked a couple of hours later and only saw tweets about Flynn and Manafort. Did he take a bunch down? Hey Donald, the internet is forever, dummy.

O’Toole THE WORLD HAS LOVED, HATED AND ENVIED THE U.S. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
WE PITY IT Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very
wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and
hope, envy and contempt, awe and anger. But there is one emotion that has never
been directed towards the US until now: pity. However bad things are for most
other rich democracies, it is hard not to feel sorry for Americans. Most of
them did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016. Yet they are locked down with a
malignant narcissist who, instead of protecting his people from Covid-19, has
amplified its lethality. The country Trump promised to make great again has
never in its history seemed so pitiful. Will American prestige ever recover
from this shameful episode? The US went into the coronavirus crisis with
immense advantages: precious weeks of warning about what was coming, the
world’s best concentration of medical and scientific expertise, effectively
limitless financial resources, a military complex with stunning logistical capacity
and most of the world’s leading technology corporations. Yet it managed to make
itself the global epicentre of the pandemic. As the American writer George
Packer puts it in the current edition of the Atlantic, “The United States
reacted ... like Pakistan or Belarus – like a country with shoddy
infrastructure and a dysfunctional government whose leaders were too corrupt or
stupid to head off mass suffering.” It is one thing to be powerless in the face
of a natural disaster, quite another to watch vast power being squandered in
real time – wilfully, malevolently, vindictively. It is one thing for
governments to fail (as, in one degree or another, most governments did), quite
another to watch a ruler and his supporters actively spread a deadly virus. Trump,
his party and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News became vectors of the pestilence. The
grotesque spectacle of the president openly inciting people (some of them
armed) to take to the streets to oppose the restrictions that save lives is the
manifestation of a political death wish. What are supposed to be daily
briefings on the crisis, demonstrative of national unity in the face of a
shared challenge, have been used by Trump merely to sow confusion and division.
They provide a recurring horror show in which all the neuroses that haunt the
American subconscious dance naked on live TV. If the plague is a test, its
ruling political nexus ensured that the US would fail it at a terrible cost in
human lives. In the process, the idea of the US as the world’s leading nation –
an idea that has shaped the past century – has all but evaporated. Other than
the Trump impersonator Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, who is now looking to the US
as the exemplar of anything other than what not to do? How many people in
Düsseldorf or Dublin are wishing they lived in Detroit or Dallas? It is hard to
remember now but, even in 2017, when Trump took office, the conventional wisdom
in the US was that the Republican Party and the broader framework of US
political institutions would prevent him from doing too much damage. This was
always a delusion, but the pandemic has exposed it in the most savage ways.
Abject surrender What used to be called mainstream conservatism has not
absorbed Trump – he has absorbed it. Almost the entire right-wing half of American
politics has surrendered abjectly to him. It has sacrificed on the altar of
wanton stupidity the most basic ideas of responsibility, care and even safety.
Thus, even at the very end of March, 15 Republican governors had failed to
order people to stay at home or to close non-essential businesses. In Alabama,
for example, it was not until April 3rd that governor Kay Ivey finally issued a
stay-at-home order. In Florida, the state with the highest concentration of
elderly people with underlying conditions, governor Ron DeSantis, a Trump
mini-me, kept the beach resorts open to students travelling from all over the
US for spring break parties. Even on April 1st, when he issued restrictions,
DeSantis exempted religious services and “recreational activities”. Georgia
governor Brian Kemp, when he finally issued a stay-at-home order on April 1st,
explained: “We didn’t know that [the virus can be spread by people without
symptoms] until the last 24 hours.” This is not mere ignorance – it is
deliberate and homicidal stupidity. There is, as the demonstrations this week
in US cities have shown, plenty of political mileage in denying the reality of
the pandemic. It is fuelled by Fox News and far-right internet sites, and it
reaps for these politicians millions of dollars in donations, mostly (in an
ugly irony) from older people who are most vulnerable to the coronavirus. It
draws on a concoction of conspiracy theories, hatred of science, paranoia about
the “deep state” and religious providentialism (God will protect the good
folks) that is now very deeply infused in the mindset of the American right.
Trump embodies and enacts this mindset, but he did not invent it. The US
response to the coronavirus crisis has been paralysed by a contradiction that
the Republicans have inserted into the heart of US democracy. On the one hand,
they want to control all the levers of governmental power. On the other they
have created a popular base by playing on the notion that government is
innately evil and must not be trusted. The contradiction was made manifest in
two of Trump’s statements on the pandemic: on the one hand that he has “total
authority”, and on the other that “I don’t take responsibility at all”. Caught
between authoritarian and anarchic impulses, he is incapable of coherence.
Fertile ground But this is not just Donald Trump. The crisis has shown
definitively that Trump’s presidency is not an aberration. It has grown on soil
long prepared to receive it. The monstrous blossoming of misrule has structure
and purpose and strategy behind it. There are very powerful interests who
demand “freedom” in order to do as they like with the environment, society and
the economy. They have infused a very large part of American culture with the
belief that “freedom” is literally more important than life. My freedom to own
assault weapons trumps your right not to get shot at school. Now, my freedom to
go to the barber (“I Need a Haircut” read one banner this week in St Paul,
Minnesota) trumps your need to avoid infection. Usually when this kind of
outlandish idiocy is displaying itself, there is the comforting thought that,
if things were really serious, it would all stop. People would sober up.
Instead, a large part of the US has hit the bottle even harder. And the
president, his party and their media allies keep supplying the drinks. There
has been no moment of truth, no shock of realisation that the antics have to
end. No one of any substance on the US right has stepped in to say: get a grip,
people are dying here. That is the mark of how deep the trouble is for the US –
it is not just that Trump has treated the crisis merely as a way to feed tribal
hatreds but that this behaviour has become normalised. When the freak show is
live on TV every evening, and the star is boasting about his ratings, it is not
really a freak show any more. For a very large and solid bloc of Americans, it
is reality. And this will get worse before it gets better. Trump has at least
eight more months in power. In his inaugural address in 2017, he evoked
“American carnage” and promised to make it stop. But now that the real carnage
has arrived, he is revelling in it. He is in his element. As things get worse,
he will pump more hatred and falsehood, more death-wish defiance of reason and
decency, into the groundwater. If a new administration succeeds him in 2021, it
will have to clean up the toxic dump he leaves behind. If he is re-elected,
toxicity will have become the lifeblood of American politics. Either way, it
will be a long time before the rest of the world can imagine America being
great again.

In case anyone forgot. 25.
Down to 42.6 avg approval. 3% drop for April. I believe that is his steepest decline in such a short period of time since right after he was sworn in.
Not ideal 6 months out!
