tRump is the typical boss who wastes time and resources proposing asinine "solutions"

We’ve all had a boss like that. Most often when they own a business. A challenge arises and Mr Boss feels he needs to “lead” by proposing some off-the-wall “solution” that has the employees shaking their heads in disbelief.

Next steps are wasting time, energy and resources trying to make the boss’ idea work, for no other reason than, well, he’s the boss and, ya know, well...

You’ll notice that Boss tRump turned to his scientist advisors and basically ordered them to waste time and resources checking out his ridiculous ideas from yesterday - injecting disinfectant and/or using light as a miracle cure for COVID-19. And they will waste their time and our tax $ because the boss ordered them to do so.

Meanwhile, thousands die.

were doing NOTHING. No briefings, no statements, absolutely zero attempts to do anything. Because what we've got now is deadly misinformation, a clusterfuck of testing, the goading of states to re-open too soon, and repeated hijacking of PPE and ventilators that were headed to states that need it. They are interfering with each and every competent measure of response coming from cities and states.

And by the time I got to the end of typing that I was thinking, "Hmm, it's almost as if it's a strategy."

But my question is.... did Scott Adams ever withdraw support for Trump or did he actually love the pointy haired boss fro. Day one?

Could never stand Clint Eastwood as an actor or a trumper - but last I heard he was on Biden board. We'll need and accept that.

And with just that little nugget of information Trump came up with a potential solution. Inject disinfectant into the body. I'm betting that once people do that, they won't have any problem with coronavirus.
