5. it was mentioned on a progressive talk show that tRump may be setting pence up for a fall

blame him when the virus shit hits the fan giving him an excuse to pick another running mate, a Florida tRump ass kisser "her name escapes me", so he can run with a women VP.

8. I'm thinking that will backfire.

If he wasn't the one making the appointment it would be a different story.

9. Yep

trump is always going to blame someone else, that's what narcissists do. They never take the blame for what the bad things they do, but will "always" to credit for things the didn't really do.

The thing is his cult will buy into his lies every time, but there will be some who voted for him, but now see what he really is like, a lying sack of crap! They may not vote for a Democrat, but they might just sit home and not vote at all.

Unless republicans in D.C. grow a pair, trump will get away with it, and I don't really see the republicans doing much at all. Hopefully the media will remind people that it is trumps policies, not the VP's, that got us here.

11. And what 'xactly is Barbie Trump gonna do here?

Oh, I know. I know ... just came to me.

Here's the strategery plan::

Instead of N92 masks, she's gonna do M45 masks, get them produced in China, after obtaining another Chinese trademark. THEN, she can increase demand by having them delivered to the USA by a "worker" who after 14 days turns out to have been infected with the coronavirus. Rinse. Repeat.

THE END.

13. Good one :-)

12. Of course it does not bode well for

an epidemic response. It is not about epidemic response. It is about political smoke and mirrors.

10. Aw, there's still plenty of room under that bus when the time comes

to pass the buck for who is to blame when things go sour.

The stock market fall is tricky. He wants to take credit for the rise but avoid blame for the fall. He is going to be up all night just trying to see who he can blame and appear blameless himself. This is going to get real interesting real fast. If it wasn’t so serious, it might be fun to watch him squirm and try to wiggle out of blame. As the market was tumbling today, I told my husband I hoped tRump was literally sh*tting his pants in panic. More likely, he is raging at everything in his path.

[iluvtennis]

14. Exactly.

15. He claims to be a germophobe -

So I wonder if he'll wear a mask at his next rally?

He'll see people coughing and sneezing out there.

I hope he gets paranoid about his greasy fast food, too.

It'd be so easy for someone to 'accidentally' sneeze on it.

Tick-tock, tiny hands... you're going to get this thing too, ya know.

You're old and you've got medical issues already.

You're a prime target.

Tick-tock....

[Grammy23]

16. Yes! I hadn't thought about that. But he is on the campaign trail

Which means he has to get amongst the vast unwashed. Yes. Among his kind. He might even have to shake hands and hug a few. Ewwww....how to handle this? Another thing to keep him awake at night. No wonder he needs eye shadow around his pig eyes. Someone here at DU mentioned that the circles around his eyes looked pink the other night — matching his pink, satin tie. And, by George! They did look pinkish. What does that dumbass see when he looks in the mirror?? Seriously. I wear make up. Not every day but usually when I go out. I check carefully for smudges or uneven foundation and smears. If it isn’t right you can’t beat me to leave until it looks right. So what does that boar hog see when he looks at himself? A young, studly Donald tRump? Or the squinty eyed, obese old fart he really is?? No matter. We see him as he is. A loser who cheats, lies and bumbles his way through life. It is way past time for Karma to catch up to him.

17. For someone who primps like he does, it sure doesn't show.
