Watching Trump today convinced me to extend my Un-paid leave. Things are going to get a lot worse.

When Trump speaks, first he insults, then he brags and brags, trying to make himself look good. Then he lie's and spreads propaganda attacking anyone who said anything bad about how he is handling this crisis. He fucking planted a reporter at the news conference today so he could attack the free press. It was sickening.

I now believe, over the next month things are going to spin out of control with the virus and the economy. Trump is not only completely incompetent, he puts his appearance, how he looks above all else.

I told you before, I started an emergency fund after Trump was elected. I saved enough to last me 6 months. I hope that is enough. With Trump pretending to be president no one knows how this is going to end.

Trump puts his PERCEIVED appearance above all else - not the REAL appearance, just how he THINKS he looks. It is why he is so incapable of anything new - no new phrases, no new words ("very unfairly", "very, very tremendously bad&quot or descriptions ("no one EVER", "most, maybe in forever"; "doing a really great job&quot , or fact free rants.

He THINKS the shit spewing forth from that deformed hole in his head beneath his nose is making him look 'strong', 'decisive', 'in-control', when in reality he looks like a haggard drunk out of touch, out of energy and out of ideas.

He thinks being a racist prick is ALWAYS going to work with his base and disaffected white people (like in 2016). It is the hideous truth behind this man's utter lack of talent, skill, passion or empathy - he is the ultimate empty suit.
