6/29/20: If Trump wasn’t briefed on Russian bounties (see:
6/28/20), what exactly was he doing with all his free time?
____________________
The president’s state of mind is “fragile.”

Friday, he tweeted that he would be skipping a weekend trip to his private golf resort at Bedminster. He would be busy fighting off statue-breakers, flailing away at them with his putting iron.
I was going to go…this weekend,
but wanted to stay in Washington, D.C. to make sure LAW & ORDER is enforced.
The arsonists, anarchists, looters, and agitators have been largely stopped...I
am doing what is necessary to keep our communities safe –
and
these people will be brought to Justice!
Sadly, Mr. Trump’s resolve fizzled
within hours. Saturday morning, he headed
over to his private resort in Virginia, where he played Round #272 of golf,
since taking office. He had so much fun he went golfing again Sunday.
Round #273.
Golf tuckered Trump out and he took it easy Monday, with
his only scheduled business: “Lunch with the Vice President.”
The good Lord knows, Trump is in need of R & R of late,
because he’s having a miserable time being president. According to Fox News,
GOP operatives say the president’s state of mind is “fragile.” He’s been feeling
glum lately, as his approval ratings tank. According to Charles Gasparino,
Republican insiders believe, if the numbers don’t improve, the president might
pull a Sarah Palin. He might just drop out of the
race.
(We should be so lucky.)
Two weeks ago, Trump was talking about suing CNN (see:
6/19/20) because he didn’t like the poll numbers they were putting up,
regarding the contest with Joe Biden.
Now, the polls agree. If the election were today, Trump would be ousted from the White House faster than you could say, “Donald J. Trump is a numbskull who should read his briefings.”

Looking grim for Donald.

MONDAY,
Anne Schuchat, CDC
principal deputy director, sounded warning. She told editors of the Journal
of the American Medical Association that the novel coronavirus was now spreading too widely and too quickly to contain.
“This is really the beginning, and what
we hope is that we can take it seriously and slow the transmission.”
A science denier and an ill-informed lout. Without mentioning names, she said there was “a lot of wishful thinking around the country” that the pandemic would soon be over. “We are not even beginning to be over this,” she said. “We’re not in the situation of New Zealand or Singapore or Korea, where a new case is rapidly identified and all the contacts are traced and people are isolated who are sick and people who are exposed are quarantined and they can keep things under control.” No, we’re not. Because Donald Trump is a science denier and, generally speaking, an ill-informed lout.

IN OTHER NEWS, the Rolling Stones have threatened to sue the
president’s campaign, after a cease and desist order to stop using their music
at rallies was ignored.
At the rate Trump is going, he’s going to be reduced to
piping in polka music. The estate of Tom Petty told Trump Campaign 2020 (Motto:
“White Power!”) not to use his songs last week. The Stones join such luminaries as Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, Neil Young, Elton John
and surviving members of Queen, who don’t want their songs played either.
Brendon Urie, frontman for Panic! At The Disco, might not be as famous as Mick Jagger. He was still blunt in opposition to the use of his band’s music. After the president waddled onstage in Phoenix last week, with “High Hopes” playing in the background, Urie tweeted, “Dear Trump Campaign, Fuck you. You’re not invited. Stop playing my song. No thanks, Brendon Urie.” Like Trump or not, this is a great country, when an ordinary singer is free to tell the president to fuck off. In Putinworld, that singer would be heading for jail, or might just fall off a fifth floor balcony. Which reminds me, Trump really wants to invite Vladimir to the G7 summit,
scheduled for September.
