Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

On CNN this afternoon, Trump said that he was consulting with his son (not kidding) on this crisis.

If this article is even close to accurate, a pretty interesting and scary read into how Trump has perceived the corona virus crisis.

Republicans fear a lockdown could compound the crisis if Trump is cooped up in the White House with nothing to watch but the news. “What’s he going to do, watch reruns of the Masters from 2017? He’s just going to watch TV and tweet and it’s going to get worse,” the former official said.

Plenty of stories now coming out.... about how a number of people in the Trump administration were simply afraid to be on the wrong end of "shoot the messenger".....squandering weeks of crucial time (such as getting the ball rolling on testing) to prepare for what was coming.

I wouldn't worry if I was her, this government is very open with their racism.

 Trump insisted on Tuesday when asked what led to the change, saying he didn’t feel a shift in his tone. “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was a pandemic.”

But remember, a month ago no one was talking about it.

Trump relies on support from idiots, people who ignore facts and reality and believe whatever lies spill out of his orange face. 

Number of polls out.... showing between 40-45% of Republicans stating they were "very" or "somewhat concerned" about the coronavirus outbreak, up from 26 percent in February.  Not sure what the other 55-60% are thinking.  

Although, cruising around the heavy Trump supporter sites......far too many people think it is overblown, a put on, or mostly some form of conspiracy initiated by:

Current Democrats
The media
Obama
the WHO
Unknown/unnamed "Globalist"/"Deep" State entities

Over the years....the right wing mouth-breathers, have sure done their work well.....,.
 

You'll never convince that percentage of the alt right that thing Trump was sent big God to be the savior of their guns, Christianity and white race.  Aliens could invade and wipe 95% of the population from the earth and those people would still say it wasnt happening.  

The GOP knows its over, especially now.  I saw Mitch was urging GOP judges near retirement age to retire before the election (because he thinks Trump will lose).
