... like he's done in the past.

God is leading him, according to the white evangelicals.

Maybe he can declare that the Universe revolves around the Earth, and especially him, to go full-narcissist and return mankind to its place at the center of everything to boost their egos even more.

She went on air with a glowing, breathless description of just how well Der Lardenfuhrer assimilates information:

Birx has been a team player to a fault, careful not to aggravate Trump by tempering his wild medical ruminations and exaggerations about testing capacity. On the contrary, last month she told the Christian Broadcasting Network: “He’s been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data. I think his ability to analyse and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues.”

Not live, but a later video of the interview.

I already suspected that she was a stooge from her huge grins as she stood behind Trump during the political rallies masquerading as their Covid task force media addresses, but that interview "did it" for me too!

Marries him. Goes to bed with him.

I don’t understand any of it.

I looked up a list of Scottish insults - this one might do:
Wispy-haired, leather faced, bawbag-eyed, huffy wee fuckbumper.

Dr. Birx has been catching shit for being a Trump toady so Trump is stirring up this

Democrats, keep the pressure on. Republicans will be scrambling to come up with solutions to the problems that keep mounting regarding COVID-19.

Trump can try to muzzle the Press on this, but we have the 1st Amendment on our side. Keep the pressure on.
