Handlers taking a different tactic to turn the approval ratings around? or weird blip on the radar? Only time will tell!

His handlers know that if they can convince him to start taking the virus seriously, and if the U.S. can somehow flatten the curve before November, his chances of getting reelected increase dramatically.

Do I think this will actually happen? Not a chance in hell. Trump will likely say or do something incredibly dumb or racist (or both), probably within the next 24 hours, which will reverse whatever tiny poll bump he may get from today's Oscar-worthy performance of "serious Trump reading from teleprompter." He just can't help but shoot himself in the foot every chance he gets.

Also, the American public would have to completely buy into the mask/social distancing thing, and I just don't see that happening any time soon. Republicans and the MAGA cult have turned Covid-19 into a partisan "us vs. them" issue, and there's no turning back now. Cases will likely continue to rise, and I have a feeling they'll be well into their 2nd lockdown by November.

Amazing job Donald. You're definitely doing well mentally.

He's like Keyser Soze, if Keyser Soze was a complete idiot.

What do you think he's looking at during the interview? A person (the interviewer), a man (the camera operator), a woman (Kellyanne), a camera (recording the interview), and a tv (monitor for playback).

This is brilliant and I’m out of thanks.

I work with one that fits that description exactly. He lives in deep southern California and is a huge Trumper. I have no idea how he can think this way. It boggles my mind everytime.

What are his arguments?


I've always said that immigrants are naturally conservative but being a huge Trumper is a stretch.

Again, to reiterate, cognitive tests are to see if someone has lost the ability to have basic brain function. Trump having regular cognitive testing is brought on because those around him are wondering if he is mentally able to continue his job. Isn’t there an amendment to remove a president that is mentally incompetent?

Clock is ticking Donny...nobody wants you anymore.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV. “I’m cognitively there.”

My four-year-old grandson would ace that but wouldn’t brag about it.

It's legitimately hilarious. Anyone with an ounce of self awareness would realize that bragging about how hard a cognitive test is isn't something that makes you look good. But good old Trump just plows ahead.

And America's rapid descent into fascism continues. What a clusterf*** of a country.

'Protect our nation's children'................by sending them back to school during the middle of a pandemic and doing nothing about gun control and school shootings.

It's unreal anybody on the planet takes that con man seriously.

Watch him "protect" the election polling stations

I abhor the way he one-hands the podium and sways from side to side. Like this is some stupid theatrical performance that he's just winging for S&G's
