SANFORD, Fla. —
President Donald Trump will be in Sanford on Monday for a campaign rally, his team announced Friday.

The rally will be one of the president’s first since he was diagnosed with COVID-19.

The event will be held at the Sanford Orlando International Airport at 7 p.m.

Trump had been scheduled to hold a rally at the airport last Friday, but the event was canceled after he announced that he’d tested positive for coronavirus.


And this will get canceled too

He’s still contagious. He was coughing and losing his voice last night

Once he’s off the steroids, he’s going to feel like he was hit by a freight train

“If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are gonna do things to you that have never been done before.” — the President of the United States


Yeah...how presidential!

Bet he's forgotten he's on a public call and thinks he's talking to Rush directly, in private

To the teachers of the world. It's ok to not be okay!

Are Teachers Ok? No, and Toxic Positivity Isn’t Helping
Because pretending to be okay when you’re not isn’t okay.

...

What do we mean by toxic positivity?
When someone says to you, “it could be worse” or “look on the bright side,” they might mean well, but what they are saying is an example of toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is when we focus on the positive and reject, deny, or displace the negative. In theory, it sounds like being optimistic, but in reality, pushing aside our unpleasant emotions only make them bigger.

1. Stop showing up early and staying late
2. Stop taking work with you everywhere you go
3. Stop saying yes to more work because you feel like you should
4. Rewrite the story: the teacher martyr work 24/7 narrative has got to go
5. At the end of the day, teaching is a job, and it’s ok to see it that way

Aaron Rupar is nothing shy of a national hero!

He's covered and posted video snippets of trump's various events for months now

I don't know how he's maintained his sanity

He's covering the limbaugh/trump echo chamber of insanity today:

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/fox-news-dr-marc-siegel-will-interview-trump-conduct-medical-evaluation-on-camera-friday-night/amp/

Fox News has announced that President Donald Trump will do his first on-air interview since being diagnosed with Covid-19 Friday night.

The interview will air at 8 PM on Tucker Carlson Tonight and will be conducted by Dr. Marc Siegel, who “will conduct a medical evaluation and interview during the program,” according to Fox News. It is not clear from the Fox News report if this interview will occur live on-air, but it will almost certainly be pre-taped earlier in the day.

trump on Hannity - dam up the rivers. No wait. Divert them to the forests!

Yeah. Geez California. All you have to do is dam up ALL of the rivers!!

"California is gonna have to ration water. You wanna know why? Because they send millions of gallons of water out to sea, out to the Pacific. Because they want to take care of certain little tiny fish, that aren't doing very well without water." -- trump

Wait? What’s that mr president?? Oh. Divert rivers to the forests instead to prevent fires??

"Number one, [California] should let water come down from the north, and accept it instead of throwing it out to the Pacific. But you always have to have forest management" -- Trump's climate change plan (Hannity doesn't seem to know how to respond to this)
