'A slap in the face': Families of COVID-19 victims slam president's downplaying of his diagnosis

[BumRushDaShow]

16. LOL Sorry - This was all to say that his "past" explains why he did what he did yesterday

He's been doing this for decades. It's all he knows. And he has now taken his "character" (recall how he often talks about himself in 3rd person) and put it into the White House setting, and is continually putting on a performance. Always. And acting like a temperamental actor.

The danger is that we can't have a "performer" as a President. There is too much at stake in the security and governance of this country to insert the Office of the President into an episode of a reality show. And he is carrying out exactly what people like Grover Norquist dreamed of and expressed way before the 2016 election (in fact in 2012) -

And this is why the GOP loons tolerate him. They draft up the most nightmarish crap and hand it to him to sign.

(ETA, note Norquist's remark right at the beginning about "auditioning for 'Fearless Leader'", and not needing that, so perhaps that performance will wake some of them up to the fact that this is what he fancies himself to be now)
