since it didn't appear until December 2019. He just said trump would drop out of 2020 in March.

I bet they will have proof positive he has lied about something big time with the virus though and Americans will die. Maybe proof he told CDC to lie? That should be unthinkable to all human beings.

Trump supporters have already accepted more lawlessness and lying than you would think a sane person could or would. I heard it's like a worm gets in their head and eats all the reasoning out of their brain. Even church folks are lying for and about him. I've never seen anything like it and never dreamed so many people would go as far as they have to excuse some of the horrible stuff he says and does.

In my opinion, he is just getting started and the chaos and mayhem that ensue from a crises are to his advantage. He won't even need the base as much because a national emergency will take him another step towards achieving total control.

People are expecting, "normal" results based on the past, (like botching this will be his downfall, etc.) and I don't anymore. Why? Because it has been a very long road of "I didn't expect that would happen" and I can't play that game anymore. It seems to be that Trump is nothing but a, "you didn't expect THIS, did you?" He may be actually accomplishing his goals based on that.

Maybe I am just being pessimistic, but I know a confidence man when I see one. One side thinks he is a genius, the other thinks he is incompetent. Look how far that had gotten him and how much damage he has been able to do to an entire country. That's a success, no matter how nefarious or what the facade reveals.

I really hope that I am wrong, but I can't shake this. He will capitalize on this and we may be more vulnerable to his power grab because of the pandemic.

the evil of this guy and his gang. The thing is that it looks like he and his goons are incompetent, but they really are not, they know what they are doing, and every time the creature opens his mouth to say something stupid the country goes ballistic, and that is when his goons do the dirty work behind the scenes.

I keep saying it, I have seen this picture before in places like Venezuela, Bolivia, etc., we are starting to see the same actions in Spain, if we don't get rid of the cancer in this administration, and its big, it is more than the creature things are going to get very ugly. The next administration needs to investigate and try all of them, then send those who are obvious candidates for years of work behind bars. If that doesn't happen this will happen again, and next time it could be worst, they will not repeat the mistakes of this experience, the crooks we are dealing with must pay jail time, it will derail those behind them who have the same aspirations.

think again. And their kids are slowly getting pissed as institutions around them take their own actions.
Why would universities tell students that lectures will be on line? Why are they saying no cruises for seniors. Why are they warning them to avoid crowds and why are there such long lines at the supermarkets and big box stores?

His lies only make it worse - you think they aren't hearing how he's lying about a hoax while panicking?

Galadriel had something to say about the Trump-Golem:

The presidency brought to Trump-Golem unnatural long life. For three years it poisoned his mind. Darkness crept back into the forest of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the east, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Trump-Golem perceived its time had now come.

And into this presidency, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. One Trump-Golem to rule them all.
