In this crisis, one in which far too many will suffer and die due to unfit leadership at the very top, Trump needs you to know that he’s still great friends with murderers! Especially murderers that might have nasty intelligence on things the American people would like to know, maybe something about what Jared’s been up to around the world, and how big a role Trump played?

Just spoke to my friend MBS (Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia, who spoke with President Putin of Russia, & I expect & hope that they will be cutting back approximately 10 Million Barrels, and maybe substantially more which, if it happens, will be GREAT for the oil & gas industry!

Great. Aren’t you the same guy that talks about $.99 gas as “like a tax cut” and “it’s great” at press conferences? Yes, that is you.  Unless you didn’t talk to anyone and are just trying to pump the market play you made this morning?

Hmmm. So Putin denies speaking to MbS like Trump claimed. Yet the stock and oil markets go up pic.twitter.com/80WgkVYkwy

Never mind.

And there you have it. His three friends become our three new allies in the 21st Century “Post-American” world. We had a Russian government plane flying into JFK yesterday with supplies. Yes, Russians are supplying the mighty American government in a foreseeable epidemic – not a cataclysmic earthquake – no, a foreseeable epidemic. We are receiving charity.

For the younger here, we are ones that are supposed to be the “essential nation,” the one that was supposed to have a swarm of scientists on the ground in Wuhan from the beginning, testing over there, researching, relaying orders back here. This government is supposed to then study the virus, put sensible restrictions on everyone very very early, hype awareness all around the world to contain it at the source, all so that American planes could fly to Italy, Spain, and Russia, with supplies and scientists, while we stay safe.

That is the nation we’re supposed to have, except we don’t. We look like a dictatorship, allied with Saudia Arabia and Russia, much more so than Japan and Great Britain. Putin and MBS both killed people to get where they stand today. They will kill more people, many more, to stay where they are today. These are Trump’s “friends” that he tweets about, while telling us it’s great he’s raising gas prices.

Oh, and the U.S. president is supposed to have all assets in a blind trust. We’re not supposed to even have to ask about possible manipulation of markets.

It is like he doesn’t even know we’re listening to his addled brain.

Peace, y’all
