    The football board had the very useful Daily Trump Tracker thread, which was a good place to briefly discuss the latest ridiculous thing that might have ended 97% of prior Presidential administrations even if it didn't necessarily justify an entire thread devoted to it in 2017-2019 (because of the sheer volume of these things). Since I don't see anything like that here already, I'll add one myself.
     
    I didn't see his interview with Wallace on Fox about the virus, but I think this is finally going to take him down. Too bad it took the total disruption of our lives, our economy, schools, etc to finally get some folks to break ranks...


    President Donald Trump’s failure to contain the coronavirus outbreak and his refusal to promote clear public-health guidelines have left many senior Republicans despairing that he will ever play a constructive role in addressing the crisis, with some concluding they must work around Trump and ignore or even contradict his pronouncements.

    In recent days, some of the most prominent figures in the GOP outside the White House have broken with Trump over issues like the value of wearing a mask in public and heeding the advice of health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom the president and other hard-right figures within the administration have subjected to caustic personal criticism.

    They appear to be spurred by several overlapping forces, including deteriorating conditions in their own states, Trump’s seeming indifference to the problem and the approach of a presidential election in which Trump is badly lagging his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, in the polls.

    Once-reticent Republican governors are now issuing orders on mask-wearing and business restrictions that run counter to Trump’s demands. Some of those governors have been holding late-night phone calls among themselves to trade ideas and grievances; they have sought out partners in the administration other than the president, including Vice President Mike Pence, who, despite echoing Trump in public, is seen by governors as far more attentive to the continuing disaster.

    “The president got bored with it,” David Carney, an adviser to the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, a Republican, said of the pandemic. He noted that Abbott directs his requests to Pence, with whom he speaks two to three times a week.

    A handful of Republican lawmakers in the Senate have privately pressed the administration to bring back health briefings led by figures like Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, who regularly updated the public during the spring until Trump upstaged them with his own briefing-room monologues. And in his home state of Kentucky last week, Sen. Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, broke with Trump on nearly every major issue related to the virus.

    Then check this nugget...

    While Ryan did not criticize Trump’s handling of the outbreak, he said the president could not win reelection this year if he continued losing badly to Biden among suburban voters who were wary of both candidates but currently favor Biden.

    “Biden is winning over Trump in this category of voters 70 to 30,” Ryan said, “and if that sticks, he cannot win states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.”

    Some of Trump’s closest advisers are adamant that the best way forward is to downplay the dangers of the disease. Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, has been particularly forceful in his view that the White House should avoid drawing attention to the virus, according to people familiar with the discussions.

    Meadows has for the most part opposed any briefings about the virus, while other Trump advisers, including Hope Hicks and Jared Kushner, have been open to holding briefings so long as they are not at the White House — where Trump could show up and commandeer them. Pence’s team would like to hold more briefings with the health experts, but some of Trump’s communications aides do not want the vice president to be part of them.
     
    Interesting responses to this putting some pieces together. Trump said he had the test at Walter Read. Remember a short time ago he was rushed to Walter Read???

    This is a test common given to people after having a stroke. He couldn't walk down a ramp. He couldn't drink water with only one hand. Dude possibly had a stroke.

    ****I have not researched the veracity of these claims. It's just for discussion.

    MOCA attached..

     
    Oh yeah I saw it. Trump touts it like it's some kind of IQ test. The truth is that the test is only given if they think something may be wrong with you. Yet he has completely misunderstood and bragging about it.

    If you go back to the original interview from a few weeks ago, I think you're right when you say he completely misunderstood.

    He said that the doctors were stunned, they said no one's ever done that before. I am wondering if he did something so crazy that the doctors couldn't help but comment.

    ::shows Trump a picture of a camel::
    What is this?
    Trump: Four score and seven years ago.
    Doctor: Umm...wow, no one's ever done that before.

    Trump: That's the thing that keeps trying to sell me car insurance and yelling about hump day while I'm watching Fox and Friends. Why would I need car insurance from that thing? I get it from the little green lizard person guy. He's much more trust worthy than the little military general guy with no eyes. Speaking of Generals I have the biggest and best generals. Big tough guys. They come to me with tears in their eyes. They say "sir. thank you for bringing back the bullets". See I gave them back the bullets they were out of because of Obama. Speaking Obama you know he's Kenyan right. That's why I don't trust whatever this thing is trying to sell me insurance. Him and Obama are from the same country! I'm like very very smart. Trust me.

    That rant was too coherent....lol. couldn't be from Trump.
     
    Honestly, I think the doctors told him it was an IQ test to get him to take it. Otherwise he would have refused.

    Put me in the he was suspected of having a stroke and tested at Walter Reed camp. Being a orange version of Veruka Salt (not the band) he had to be fooled into taking it. The fact that he fell for it is all you need to know in my opinion.

    Did he really do this?




    Yes. He has known her and Epstein for decades. i am sure he will say he barely knew them or met them once but that is not the case at all. It doesn't prove anything, but I feel like this "I wish her well" is some kind of message to not rat him out and he will take care of her. Speculation of course, but it is my opinion. I hope she spills the beans on EVERYONE and everything.

    'What the president was noting is that the last person who was charged in [Epstein's] case ended up dead in a jail cell, and the president wants justice to be served for the victims in this case, and he prefers this to play out in a courtroom," McEnany said on Fox News, defending Trump's warm comments about Maxwell earlier this week at a White House press briefing.
    Yeah ok ok.. had to spin it some way.
