Do it, Donnie!!

They are holding you back! Parscale, Conway (You know she’s working with George, right?) Fire everyone but your family! They are the only ones you can really trust, right Don?

From a report in Vanity Fair – the best kind – we learn that Donald Trump is suddenly aware of the fact that he’s losing, and there’s fck all he can do about it right now, except maybe change … or fire everyone!

“The swing state polls are horrific,” said a Republican privy to the campaign’s internal numbers. A White House staffer said, “This is what should worry the campaign: Biden is in his basement and he’s beating Trump. If I were Biden, the lesson I would learn is: Shut the f*ck up and let Trump go out there and destroy himself.”

I think Biden can speak and cut his own meat, personally. He can talk about how he has already had experience handling three different epidemics, not one of which overran the United States economy, and Ebola had two fatalities.

Seeking to change the trajectory of the race, Trump is now discussing a shake-up to his campaign leadership, three sources close to the White House told me. Two sources said Trump has told people he wants to install 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in a senior role. “Trump’s feeling is, ‘why are we losing everywhere?’ The president is sick of it,” another former West Wing official said. According to a source, Lewandowski has told Trump that the RNC doesn’t grasp how dire the polls are. “Corey thinks the GOP isn’t solid on fundamentals. He says the campaign and the party spend time sending out press releases bragging about how well they’re doing,” the former official said.

Not solid on fundamentals? How about this? 82,000 people are fundamentally dead. Twenty-million are fundamentally unemployed. And a shitshow every day at the White House as if this was a TV show! How about those fundamentals? Does it occur to these people that results matter?

“Trump and campaign manager Brad Parscale’s relationship has been fraying for weeks, sources said,” wrote Sherman. “Trump was said to be annoyed last month about a largely positive profile of Parscale in the New York Times Magazine. Trump had already been irked by Parscale because of the talk that Parscale, a former website designer from San Antonio, had made millions of dollars through his companies from Trump’s campaigns and bought a Ferrari.” Last month, Trump reportedly even threatened to sue Parscale over his dropping poll numbers.

The one thing you do not want to do if you work for Trump is appear to show off your wealth. If your money CAME from Trump, you don’t want to look “too rich.” Because many people are pretty sure that Trump isn’t as rich as he likes people to believe, and every penny that you are busy displaying ostentatiously, he could have displayed himself, which is what he wants.

Anyway, I enjoy the palace intrigue without one person saying “Jesus, we have to get tests into every corner of this country by next week. We have to have Congress pass a bill that actually gets people money every month until we have those tests in people’s hands. And we need to offer a $2 billion reward to the person that figures out a pill or method of action that allows everyone to return to work safely by September …”

But no one’s thinking that way.

Which is why we desperately need a new president, and so – for now – I hope they continue to shuffle deck chairs.

Peace, y’all
