130,000 dead by August as Trump proclaims “progress” in COVID-19 numbers
80,000 deaths today as Trump begins the morning with happy talk. More of the same at 4pm EDT today in a presser that should have some of the same memes.

“I don't need to have the numbers double because … that wasn't our fault…”
There could be a moment where the death toll could become a 9/11 every day, resulting in carnage that was avoidable.

These new crisis-management poll numbers are just awful for Trump
For anyone who thought the Teflon Don could just bluster and gaslight his way through the election season and beyond, the latest Quinnipiac poll should be eye-opening.

“I like the numbers where they are. I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship”
Dr. GuapoTrumpHaus(Blanco) wants to keep the passengers and crew aboard the Grand Princess because he believes that if they don’t get off the ship they don’t affect the data count.

Trump's 2020 polling numbers are a disaster. Why doesn't his press coverage reflect that?
The Beltway press has spent years normalizing many things about Donald Trump's radical presidency. Now it seems to be normalizing Trump's disastrous polling numbers on the eve of his re-election run. Any other incumbent in his lowly polling position would likely be getting hammered by the pundit class as it dubbed his presidency a failure. But not Trump. …
