Magical thinking is the foundation of the Trump regime and the cornerstone of this

foundation is simply this: announcing something as a fact makes it a fact.

You don't have to "build the wall"; you just have to SAY you did.

You don't have to be a champion of the he middle class; you only have to Say you are.

You don't have do a damn thing to fulfill your presidential responsibilities; you just have to CLAIM to be "working very hard" for the American people.

You don't have to actually provide essential Corona virus testing or masks or gloves or ventilators: just ANNOUNCE that you have done so.

And, if some "Trump hater" reporter is "nasty" enough to contradict you with facts---or even with tape of you contradicting yourself---just scowl and call them "third-rate journalists" peddling "fake news".

And, they said being President was difficult! Easy-peasy!
