Trump's "open face", warning stickers on every other seat, intentionally removed by Trump-bots, Tulsa rally just killed Herman Cain.... how many "blacks for Trump", remain?

Wow.
So a 74 year old ( risk group) cancer survivor ( risk group) attends a giant rally ( risk group) and doesn't wear a mask ( risk group) or gloves.  And tweets about it, proudly.  ???
" hey, hold my beer..."
I am sorry he's dead. Definitely preventable.

Thank you, Mr MacRae, for your statement regarding disproven treatments for Covid 19.

Top political editor at Fox News: Trump asking to delay election a ‘flagrant expression of his weakness’

Sky Palma

Speaking on Fox News this Thursday, network political editor Chris Stirewalt said that President Trump’s recent tweet where he floats delaying the 2020 election is a sign of a weakening campaign.

Stirewalt said that while there’s a good chance Trump was just trying to stir the pot, the potential delaying of an election would be “out of step” with all of Trump’s predecessors, and frankly, “a flagrant expression of his current weakness.”

“A person who is in a strong position would never, never make a suggestion like that,” he said.

Yes, Mr May.

Also, Trump seems to have forgotten- or never knew - that Congress must approve a delay in elections. The House is very unlikely to approve such a delay.
So, Trump is just trying to stir the pot and throw red meat to the base.
Definitely a sign of desperation.

Agree John. Trump has no idea that ONLY Congress can change an election date. Recall his once saying “the constitution lets me do whatever I want”. Totally out of touch.

Trump's selfish, psycho neediness, intensified by his palpable ignorance speaks to the developmental damage of his supporters, the ones not drawn to him voluntarily by racism and or greed.

This is the precedent, thanks to Lincoln. The 1864 election was held with the outcome of the war still in doubt and against Lincoln's opponent who was a General who Lincoln had relieved of command. The election took place with rebel forces still threatening the Capitol, less than four months after this!:

Battle of Fort Stevens
The Battle of Fort Stevens was an American Civil War battle fought July 11–12, 1864, in what is now Northwest Washington, D.C., as part of the Valley ...
Location‎: ‎District of Columbia - Date‎: ‎July 11 –12, 1864

An expert on mental health described Trump this week in "groundhog day" terms. Trump approaches each day uninfluenced by what happened the day before, as a predator seeking "a win", seemingly with no memory of what he said or did before each "new day". It is always the same, his approach is "in the moment", leaving him free to claim or do the opposite of the day before. In effect, he is trapped as Bill Murray's character was in the film, especially because his father is no longer around to bail him out or to structure his behavior or "reign him in".

We've seen this week he has no ability to pivot to an "on course" direction after announcing resumption of daily press appearances described as covid-19 briefings. He continued to lie, block out appearances by experts, and exhibited nothing but distortion and farcical denial. By day 3, he was defending his retweet of "Dr. Crazy Lady".
"I don't know her, but I'm impressed with her!" "Everybody likes Drs. Fauci and Birx, but nobody likes me, and my admin. has by far, tested more people, by far, than any other country!"
