Over the next many months, until the election, all the American people will learn Trump fucked up our response to this pandemic in every way possible. Many Trump voters, not all, will recognize the truth. Death has a way of waking fools up. They will deny they were Trump voters.
The name Trump will become one of the most hated names in our history. In the future, when someone says the name Trump, people will think of the virus, death.

Will bet the Orange Anus reelection Committee goes after Hunter Biden as a Distraction.

The economy is just starting to crater. It's not going to rebound on Trump's timetable.
RW media is staying on message that this is overblown and Covid-19 is really just the flu and the economy is doing great.
Trump's not going to be able to gaslight reality. We're still at the beginning. Give this another 3-6 months.

Nobody could have predicted this would happen.
The Democrats blew it way out of proportion. It wasnt any worse than the flu.
He saved our economy.
He inherited a broken system from Obama.
You know, the usual denial of facts.

(24,776 posts)unemployment numbers. Death knell for drumpf and drumpfism...hopefully.
Also vulture capitalism that is leaving millions without jobs and employent related health insurance when most needed.
Who could have foreseen this clusterfuck?

(16,423 posts)It's all about finding a winning theme. Trump has no theme left.
He cannot run on the economy. (Which would have been a hard sell in the first place.)
He cannot run on healthcare because 1. coronavirus, 2. he had 4 years to come up with a replacement for the ACA and did nothing, 3. a republican lawsuit in SCOTUS is threatening to undo the ACA and he has no plan what to do if the Republicans win this lawsuit.
He cannot run on national security. Is China friend or foe? What happened to his promise to denuclearize North-Korea? Is ISIS defeated or not? And who can forget his constant trash-talking of State-Department and the US intelligence-community?
Let's try to see the thrice-married cheating, lying, thieving philanderer try to run on family-values and morals.
His only, ONLY, remaining play is abortion. Because Evangelicals are willing to overlook any bad behaviour as long as that person is also against abortion.
And even then it would be hard, because Evangelicals are the smallest wing of the republican voter-base.

(42,766 posts)He is a lying traitor. He will change labor, health and economic stats to make
it look like he miraculously turned everything around. And he will be the first
to tell you what a great hero he is and how all by himself saved this country.

(1,588 posts)self destruct as so many have predicted in the past, even though this is a very different level of incompetence, stupidity and narcissism. Dems have all the ammunition they need from his own vulgar mouth. They have to use it to prevent the rewriting of history.
