Trump's Own Advisers Call Lack Of Virus Testing The Final Nail In His Coffin

From the article:

He is in way over his head and woefully unfit for the office of the Presidency in every way, shape or form imaginable.

It's interesting since many if not most of the republiscum's programs and ideas ONLY are about messaging and in fact turn into Potemkin villages to fool the people. Thankfully, he's even burning down his own village with every tweet, every afternoon C-virus Trumpvomit and every proclamation out of the WH.

A heavy slathering of dirty rotten scoundrel.

They play dirty and for keeps both covertly and overtly. At least, that's what I seen. It is the dark side of our politics in general.

The problem with denying reality is that reality is not listening.
