Well said. Also, he has beat the rap so many times, I guess he is convinced himself that he shapes reality around him. That kind of delusional thinking has led to uncounted misery.

The Japanese Army and naval infantry in WW2 convinced themselves that superior samurai martial spirit could overcome overwhelming firepower. They were grievously mistaken.

If world events out of our control break ok, then maybe we all get through this somewhat ok, despite this lunatic and his disgusting lackeys. If they break bad, like, say, a novel virus that is as contagious as Flu, but with an overall fatality rate of 20%, then we’re fucked. He’s gonna deny it is here, and it will be gone in 30 days. Blah, blah, blah, while the morgues overflow, and the grocery store shelves are truly empty.

Half this country deserves better.

Greg--pretty bleak picture, isn't it? There's so much focus on what Trump and his sycophants are doing right now, and it will be bad for the country. Just wait until the wildfires get started this summer with all the devastation they cause. Add to that a sudden mutation that allows avian influenza to jump into humans and cause another pandemic and we're cooked in the hot zone. Trump has a very short, selective memory--he was shocked when he saw those big white refrigerated trucks being loaded with body bags at a Brooklyn hospital, just 10 miles from where he grew up.

However, these viruses make many microbreaks before they truly dig in. Maybe it will be ok. Maybe not. Just stock up on Vit. A. /s
