The Mad King is losing it.
During today’s (April 11, 2020) briefing, the third President to be impeached in United States History for thinking he was above everyone else, had a meltdown towards media, saying he was above everyone else when he stated that he had “total authority” to reopen the economy.
Vice President Pence, in an awkward position standing next to Mr. Trump, seemed to reinforce that notion (while also praising the governors of the states,) saying the National Emergency gave the Presidency extraconstitutional powers.
This outburst today seemed to stem from several causes. These may include:- Dr. Anthony Fauci’s interview on CNN yesterday where he agreed that the federal government could have done better in responding earlier during the Coronavirus. During today’s briefing, Fauci “fell on the sword” saying he responded to what he thought was a hypothetical question.
- Ads from Superpacs like Priorities USA and the Lincoln Project that criticized the 2016 Popular Vote Loser’s response to the Coronavirus. In fact, Mr. Trump started the briefing (please see the whole briefing provided in the link below) with a propaganda-campaign ad highlighting all the things he claims he did right to address the Public Health Emergency. Some networks like CNN and MSNBC cut away when it came on.
- The recently released report from NPR on all the unfulfilled promises made by Mr. Trump since he declared a national emergency.
- Bernie Sanders endorsing Joe Biden which will pave the way to uniting the Democratic Party.
- Governors forming regional pacts to coordinate the reopening of the economies in their areas. All but one of these states (California, Oregon, and Washington in the west and New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts) are led by Democratic Governors.
This last cause is probably what caused the Mad King to lose it the most this afternoon. He talked like a mobster, stating that the Governors would follow his lead, making comments, reported by the Washington Post that “the governors need us one way or the other” and maintaining that he is “very certain that there won’t be a problem.”
It is ironic, despite whatever mob boss impersonations, lies, and fecal matter that the Liar in Chief says to justify himself that it is up to the states to conduct testing, obtain vital medical supplies, and decide whether or not to issue stay at home orders but it is his dictate that is the ultimate authority in opening up the economy.
It seems the Stable Genius wants the credit for the positive developments to reopen the economy while cowardly running away from the tough choices the Governors, thanks to his negligence and apathy, were forced to make to combat the public health emergency.
Today’s outburst further demonstrates that Donald Trump is unfit for the office he holds.
It also reinforces the notion that the country would be better off with Joe Biden and a new team in the White House.
It is important to turn out and vote this November.
