Amerika du hast es besser

[Guthrie]

Heute früh sind die Aktienkurse abgestürzt.

Noch mehr als auf die Kraft der positiven Gedanken (#5260) setzen die Trumpansen (zwischen gemäßigten und radikalen ist kein Unterschied mehr) auf die Macht der schönen Worte.

"The fundamentals in this economy are unbelievable." —HHS Secretary Azar to reporters just now at the White House.

The Trump admin's top health officials took no questions, said nothing about the health issues around coronavirus and spoke only about the economy.

Einigermaßen einfallslos ist das aber. Sie sollten die ,,spiritual advisers" einberufen, wenn Gesundbeten das Gebot der Stunde ist.

Im Ernst: Russland, Ukraine, Korruption, Umweltstandards, Verbündete erpressen, Ranschleimen an Diktatoren, Demokratie usw., pah, wen interessiert das schon. Aber wenn die Kurse purzeln, da kriegen sie Fracksausen.

Man weiss es ja nicht, sollte es aber der Virus sein der eine zweite Amtszeit verhindert, ist das einerseits im Ergebnis gut, andrerseits für die Qualität der amerikanischen Demokratie, kein gutes Zeichen. Lauter Irre.

Die Unbesorgtheit des Präsidenten in der Öffentlichkeit hat ein Gegenstück.

As Trump pushes a nothing-to-see-here message in public, sources said he's privately terrified about getting the virus. [...]

Stories about Trump's coronavirus fears have spread through the White House. Last week Trump told aides he's afraid journalists will try to purposefully contract coronavirus to give it to him on Air Force One, a person close to the administration told me. The source also said Trump has asked the Secret Service to set up a screening program and bar anyone who has a cough from the White House grounds. "He's definitely melting down over this," the source said.

Passt.

Er hat ja so recht mit seinen Befürchtungen!!! - geradezu gespenstisch:

Rep. Matt Gaetz
@RepMattGaetz
· 1 Std.
Congressman Gaetz was informed today that he came into contact with a CPAC attendee 11 days ago who tested positive for COVID-19.

Gaetz was on Air Force One with Trump roughly an hour ago.

Nur dass es nicht die Dems = deep stater sind, sondern die GOPer = Trumpanzees, die ihn auslöschen werden.

Und, überflüssig zu sagen, there's always a tweet.

Do we see now why dictators end up in bunkers? Hitler and Gaddafi were also germaphobes by the way...

Aber ich bin da nicht so sicher. Golfen allein macht nicht glücklich. Die narzisstische Zufuhr auf den rallies ist einfach Lebensblut.

Snopes:

But there is no record of Trump having posted such a tweet on 6 November 2012, or on any other date. Since it's conceivable that he published it then deleted it, we can't reach a definitive conclusion as to whether or not it is genuine. However, there are good reasons to doubt its authenticity.

Es ist der blanke Zufall, ob man von Trump hofiert und umschmeichelt oder ob man von ihm umgebracht wird.

Some of the Taliban leaders on the other end of the line were also on secret U.S. kill-or-capture lists. The commander in chief was chatting with people his government officially still wanted jailed or dead, two Defense Department sources told The Daily Beast.

Mist. Und ich hatte noch überlegt, ob ich noch bei Trump Twitter Archive nachschaue
http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com/archive
aber ich hatte den Originalposter für verlässlich gehalten. 

Wenigstens das Ding mit Nero ist echt. Da hat es einen Artikel bei TheHill zu gegeben.

Hat Donald der Doofe schon die Mexikaner wg. Corona beschuldigt und bedroht, weil sie Corona in Flaschen verkaufen?

Vertrauensbildende Maßnahmen, um dem abgestürzten Dow Jones wieder auf die Beine zu helfen:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government's response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.

Wirklich absolut vertrauensbildend das. Kommentar z. B.

Leah McElrath:
Not only does this restrict information getting OUT, it prevents experts without security clearance from getting IN and being able to participate in the meetings.

WORTH REPEATING: In 2018, Trump fired the entire US pandemic response team.

These were the experts with decades of experience dealing with precisely the kind of situation we are in today.

Trump did not replace them.

He eliminated the positions.

[Scipio 2.0]

Ich schmeiß die Experten raus weil mir deren fachlich basierte Aussagen nicht passen. Ganz große Klasse.....

Das ist, wenn ich das so drastisch formulieren darf, der absolute Gipfel der Inkompetenz.
