4/21/20: Tuesday proves to be another depressing day. On Monday, a few minutes before midnight, Johns Hopkins updates its tallies. The United States has 825,041 confirmed cases of coronavirus.
That would be four times as many as Spain, the country in sad
second place.

comforting “Fireside Chats,” for this fool

It’s illustrative, then, to consider how the President of the United States starts his day. His first tweet comes at 5:19 a.m., before the sun has even cast shadows on the White House lawn. But Trump isn’t focusing on how to get the country out of a giant hole – which he helped dig. No. He’s watching MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. And he’s pissed. That means he’s going to lash out, without the least bit of class.
This is who the president is. This is how he spends precious time, during a national crisis. No comforting “Fireside Chats,” for this fool.
He’d rather tweet stupid sh*t:
Watched
the first 5 minutes of poorly rated Morning Psycho on
MSDNC just to see if he is as “nuts” as people are saying. He’s worse.
Such hatred and contempt! I used to do his show all the time before the 2016
election, then cut him off. Wasn’t worth the effort, his mind is shot!
It
is amazing that I became President of the United States with such a totally
corrupt and dishonest Lamestream Media going after me all day, and all night.
Either I’m really good, far better than the Fake News wants to admit, or they
don’t have nearly the power as once thought!
I’ve
had great “ratings” my whole life, there’s nothing unusual about that for me.
The White House News Conference ratings are “through the roof” (Monday Night Football,
Bachelor Finale, @nytimes)
but I don’t care about that I care about going around the Fake News to the
PEOPLE!
When the stock markets open for business a few hours later, oil prices fall below zero, as consumption plunges round the world.
That should be the president’s focus, not what he hears on television. That and thousands of deaths, and millions of jobs lost.
(Prices rebound on Wednesday, with a barrel of oil selling
for $15, still at historically low levels.)
