Donald Trump is going to see a rocket launch in Florida on Saturday, which was rescheduled after the Wednesday launch was cancelled due to weather.
Trump sounds like a little boy who couldn’t possibly miss this. He was promised, and he said during “Chopper-Talk” before he left that he feels an “obligation” to be there. If Trump had Barron beside him to go watch, maybe he could justify – somehow – needing to see his rocket launch. But right now, a president’s real obligation is to calm the nation and save lives. Tump’s agenda seems to be the opposite.
Perhaps it is best that he’s not “watching over” the situation with the nation bursting apart at the seams. He has done nothing but inflame the situation this morning. So while the nation burns and prepares for what could be the worst night yet, with Trump urging cops to “get tougher” and stop people from protesting, while an epidemic rages that is sure to light-up hospitals three weeks from now, Trump is going to a rocket launch.
He has never looked smaller.
Trump hasn’t forgotten that we have an epidemic, though. He seems well aware of the fact that “germs” are still on the loose.
Has a Commander-in-Chief ever been more terrified? https://t.co/w3Or4hOHWi [1]

This photo, from the indefatigable Doug Mills of the New York Times has everyone talking, take a look:
Remember when Obama saluting with a coffee in his hand was the biggest scandal to rock the American political system? Can't wait to hear the full-throated condemnations from Fox News about this. I imagine they'll be denouncing this for weeks. https://t.co/NiqF4ZXiTw [3]

LOL. But but but President Obama’s latte! I’m sure Hannity will shit blood over this obvious disrespect for the troops. https://t.co/NQmEf81NZt [5]

Maybe the Hydroxychloroquine/insulin/bleach cocktail isn't as potent as the man claims? https://t.co/m7bPy8gmWF [7]

Look at his feet. I don’t understand the fury. Why can’t je just say “no” without lifting off the ground jumping away from an offered hand? (Also, where are the masks?) https://t.co/RghaXihHBv [12]

"Alpha male," who is too manly to wear a mask, just filled up his Depends when someone tried to shake his hand. He has no problem putting his supporters health at risk, but he sure as hell isn't going to risk his own health. https://t.co/UtAQYchrFd [16]
