    He’s got 87 million twitter followers yet the majority of responses to his tweets are negative and less than 5% of his followers like his posts. And less than 1% retweet his messages. His primary form of communication is mostly ignored. I think the media has pretty much stopped reporting all except his most crazed tweets.

    Not to mention he's wasting his time in Virginia, which is very much not in play. He has zero chance of winning here.

    NiKKKi Haley today quoting the John Birch Society. The GOP has mastered the self-pwn.

    I know he loves a good show - and to be the star of it - but damn I think this was a major miscalculation on Trump's part. The getable voters are likely turned off and repulsed by such a brazen disregard of public and his own health - not exactly the characteristics you want in your national leader. People who loved the show were going to vote for him anyway.
    If he said "I got it, and I get it." Stayed in the hospital a few days...
    Instead he kind of pissed all over everyone who didn't "win the fight" - might as well call them losers.
    Maybe he figured if he dies doing this, so much the better that he won't be around for Election Day.

    What the hell is it with these idiots’ strange use of the word “strongly?” They say it all the time, with verbs that don’t match.

    “We’re going to look at it very strongly.” How do you look at something strongly?

    “Standing strongly on the balcony.” Standing strongly???

    How the Republicans don't have a 360-degree plexiglass shield around Pence right now is beyond me. If Trump is incapacitated (and given the events of the past week, I'd put those odds closer to 50-50), Nancy Pelosi is just one virus-carrying vice president away from becoming the 46th President of the United States.

    As of last night, FATUS is now the Brett Boone of U.S. presidents.

    I have to believe 90 percent of those followers are bots.

    At least in the past decade, the only time frame with stats on the CDC website, the highest of the high-water estimates for flu death in any season is 95,000 in 2017-18. In this total time frame, the average estimated annual death count from the flu is 37,462 and the standard length of a defined season is six months. The Trumpandemic's death count at the six-month mark was roughly 180,000.
    Facts are tough for Trumpists to grasp.
