Itd been three months since Donald Trump had given his staff a break. For weeks, some of his top advisers had repeatedly warned him that his madcap performances at the White Houses coronavirus press briefings were tanking his poll numbers and helping Joe Biden, until finally the president decided to stop doing them. Senior administration officials and task-force members were elatedtheir infamously stubborn boss had actually taken their advice.
But in the months following the cessation of those pressers, Trumps numbersnationally and in critical swing stateshave kept falling. And according to two sources whod spoken to the president this month, he began insisting that it was time to start going with his gut, again.

When he started doing them again [starting last week], my thought was, Oh, great, this fucking shit again, said a senior administration official who works closely with the White House coronavirus task force. And now were all talking about demon ejaculation.

Reached for comment on Wednesday evening, White House spokeswoman *Sarah Matthews emailed, The president is his own best communicator and his highly rated briefings give him the opportunity to speak directly to the American people about the federal governments unprecedented coronavirus response that has saved millions of lives.

Trump thinks it's because he stopped the "Briefings" that his ratings are going down... because he doesn't even notice that Covid cases have doubled in about a month. In his mind, none of that matters.
His supporters are just as irrational. I saw one (running for John Lewis's seat!) who said that the only prominent people dying of it are Republicans. (That of course isn't even true.) And that means.... what? That the doctors and nurses are saving all the Democrats and letting GOPers die? That there is no Covid and this is just a big secret plot to get Republicans into the hospital where they can be murdered?
It makes me think that maybe Q is the actual leader here-- as even Trump is now believing Q. (All the Q people are crowing that Trump tweeting an endorsement of a pizza parlor is actually a sign that they are supposed to now get ready for... something something pizzagate lock her up.)
