And desperately trying to cover up the truth, and how long before we find out he's been actively threatening others to lie about the truth with him, especially people in the CdC, which he'll fire them unless they lie. Lying about this emergency will come back to cause even his supporters to run away from him from it. Even the stock brokers knew he was lying about the virus, and why they couldn't trust him and sold off instead.

Everytime he talks about communism he reminds everyone of how he is buddies with wannabe Russian Communist again, Putin. Your mind just naturally goes there, especially if you listened to any of the cold war propaganda Raygun and RepubliCONS put out. Most baby boomers immediately think communist Russia and who is Trump's pal.

So, it is not a good look on him. Just ask how Moscow Mitch worked out?

I'm not so sure he's a populist. but I guess he could be. He's more a dictator than anything else. Soviet Union Communism would/did easily fit in a dictator much like capitalism does.

Go to the link and argue with WaPo. They wrote the article about Putin and a lot of Russians wanting to return to the old Soviet Union...and that was Communist.

Well, how do you know what Putin wants? Do you talk to him often?

Trump doesn't lie.

He simply states how he expects reality to behave, then waits patiently for reality to fall in line.

If it doesn't he blames others and walks away. Not his fault of others don't do it right.

To Trump, his own competence and infallibility are never in doubt. It's just them pesky mortals that let him down!

Thu Feb 27, 2020, 07:12 AM

Who now will demand the CDC people lie for him or be replaced , and shows his intent is to deceive the American people on how badly he has failed concerning this new virus. He has to lie because the truth would expose how failed his actions have been, so he has to demand they lie or he'd be exposed. Trusting him to be truthful is a waste of time, he will never tell the truth to the American people. like he's done over and over again since he's been in office. Trump will instead use this and the treatments when developed as a weapon , just like he uses his powers, he's weaponizing everything he does now for himself to use to hurt others with, especially his own supporters who'll soon realize this. Trump is promoting propaganda for his pr campaign claiming he's on top of this, which he hasn't been, and his reductions in this area left us unprepared, and under funded, and now causing them to lie, and force others to lie about this now. The markets show they don't trust trump at all, and the continue of it dropping will show he can't be trusted, and he will blame others , again , with more lies. that's his MO, lie , deny , then claim he's successful, which is why he's filed bankruptcy so many times, He's a failure, a complete disaster who has to rely on lying to try to con people into believing his lies.He should be called to testify before Congress under oath , then when he refuses new impeachment articles should again be started, and calls for his resignation should start. Use his own words he said Democratic Candidates against President Obama with Ebola. Repeat often. trump claims its under control when its spreading rapidly in this country unchecked shows he's lying to the American people about this. Giving a science denier Pence instead of a seasoned medical expert the job of over site is telling of why trump almost always fails. He may also is setting Pence up to fail then to replace him with maybe ivanke for self protection.
