In what has become a farce to those of us who can see right through this man, we were again treated to our daily dose of bullshit from Trump, as happens every afternoon now.

If Trump were to somehow be original or be earnest and honest, perhaps this could be justified, but when he sits and tweets about watching cable news much of the day, and has telephone calls with governors in which he refutes basic facts on the ground – these are nothing more than manipulation and constitute replacement-therapy for his self-obsessed rallies.

Incredible jobs all around – again, and again, and again, all incredible.

If Donald Trump wants to know something “incredible” he might look at why they are holding “10,000 ventilators back,” as Trump admitted to in this press conference. Though I can foresee a situation where the policy is recommended by the CDC, this is the precise area in which Trump can start showing favoritism, screwing over a place like New Jersey – where he’s going to lose by 20 points, in favor of Pennsylvania, right next door. We should never ever estimate Donald Trump’s ability to politicize anything, including the distribution of ventilators.

It has become very obvious that the first part of every press conference, at least until possible commercials and questions, Trump comes out to list off figures that no one needs to hear from Trump. If the CDC were allowed to do it’s own communication – as it always had up to this point, they could do a far more thorough job of listing specific details as to what is happening where and when.

One last thing, damn, the man is just so out of breath. He never has any energy while reading off the facts. He is slurring and pausing for long periods, taking deep breaths and not finishing sentences. The sad (sorta) truth is that this is not a man healthy enough for this job – at least not in the way it should be done.

He also predicted a “very painful” 2 WEEKS. It is going to be a very painful 2 months, 2 seasons of the year!! What is this man talking about??

"This is going to be a rough two week period, as we approach that really important day when we see things get better…It's going to be like a burst of light" @POTUS
