I heard those are just the scars from his scalp reduction. Maybe his brain popped out during the procedure.

He doesn’t have it in him. He just looks like a pathetic mess.

Sinking poll numbers.

When an A+ rates pollster says you're down 11 points in Florida, you pay attention.

Trump is fucked though. None of this backpedaling will help him. If anything, it's an admission of how badly he's been handling the pandemic for four months.

6. Give it a couple days, he will be back to spouting shit quite soon.

He can't keep this up for long.

He is already showing signs of steaming piles of excrement coming out of his mouth.

And he will never acknowledge that he ever said not to wear a mask.

11. All One Of The Reporters That Cover His Briefings Need To Do Is Ask Him The Wrong Question....

to set him off. It will happen and it will be inevitable that he'll meltdown. What he is doing now is all an act. He's scripted.

Just watching him do these briefings - you can see he's very uncomfortable.

If I was a reporter at today's briefing - knowing that Trump acknowledged that he spoke with Putin - I would have asked Trump if he confronted Putin on the paying of bounties for the deaths of U.S. soldiers. I'm thinking that question could have set Trump off.

There was also another story I read today about a Russian satellite shooting something out at a U.S. satellite. That would have been another good question to ask him.

He's a powder keg with a short fuse. Something will set him off.

12. Exactly. Today they lobbed softballs. Nothing of substance was asked.

He was not challenged at all. It made me kind of sick to my stomach watching them let him off so easy.

Like you said, he teeters on the brink of chaotic thought. One question would put him off. Heck, even a sideways glare would probably put him off, he is so easy to manipulate and spark his anger.

There are so many serious issues right now that need to be addressed by this pResident that to let him off so easy is tantamount to being complicit. Who cares if he cancels his convention? I could care less. We have troops being targeted by Putin, that is THE issue of the month and yet they are letting it sink to the bottom of his festering pile of dung.

I wish that powder keg would blow once and for all.

13. He finally realizes the virus is his 2020 opponent NOT Joe Biden.

heard that from Dana Bash on CNN........the virus is killing him in the polls, so they’ve changed tactics......no longer “sleepy Joe” it’s the virus. I hoping it’s to damn late for this ploy of his. 100 days people, one hundred days and this orange slime ball will be gone, IF WE ALL DO OUR PART.
