to open one's mouth and prove it to all"..Donald Trump said something like, "The virus will be gone in a few days" or something like that. Or, a "few will get it & then it will be gone."
...All Trump had to do was say, nothing, or say, "We will see what happens" or "We don't know the future, we need to be prepared for anything."
...That is it. Simple & clear. I don't know what will happen. And he didn't. But he had to prove that he was "smart" so Trump predicted the future and said it publically to everyone. All it proves is that "Trump is stupid and a fool."
...Donald Trump will be remembered for that statement, "It will be gone in a few days". Now and forever...

1. And his base

Continually gives him a pass on all these egregious lies he spews. It’s mind boggling.

2. ..Yes, the base always gives him a "pass." Thank You for pointing that out.

..The key word is..."always". How true.

6. I'm tired of this "but his base" trope... he's lost a lot of support.

The empty seats in Tulsa are proof.

His base is shrinking, just like everything else about him.

7. I'd love to see a history book from 100 years in the future

I guarantee it wouldn't be kind to the first 20 years of the 21st century.
