The Trump Presidency Is Over
The Atlantic ^ | 3/13/20 | Peter Wehner

Posted on 03/13/2020 2:01:13 PM PDT by justme4now

It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain.

When, in January 2016, I wrote that despite being a lifelong Republican who worked in the previous three GOP administrations, I would never vote for Donald Trump, even though his administration would align much more with my policy views than a Hillary Clinton presidency would, a lot of my Republican friends were befuddled. How could I not vote for a person who checked far more of my policy boxes than his opponent?

What I explained then, and what I have said many times since, is that Trump is fundamentally unfit—intellectually, morally, temperamentally, and psychologically—for office.

It took until the second half of Trump’s first term, but the crisis has arrived in the form of the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s hard to name a president who has been as overwhelmed by a crisis as the coronavirus has overwhelmed Donald Trump.

Don’t get your hopes up (again).

The doctors, experts, and medical industry: "The President is doing what we are telling him to do to handle Corvid-19."

The President: "I am following through on what the doctors, experts, and medical industry are telling me on how to handle Corvid-19."

MSM: "The President is failing to do what the doctors, experts, and medical industry are telling him on how to handle Corvid-19."

MSM to the doctors, experts and medical industry: "What is wrong with you for backing the President's failing handling of Corvid-19?"

This is why I am glad I do not watch TV or cable anymore.

Dear rimorel,
“there will be a time when this is going to come to a head.

I hope I am gone by then.”

Sure don’t want to lose any MAGA folk. If you do get your wish, I’ll know where to look for you - Sitting on a cloud, singing in the choir!

No matter what he does they will condemn him. This was planned from the first word of the virus.

Nope. And neither will the St Vitus dance.

The bug can’t survive in warm weather. China’s numbers are already dropping. Most people don’t get especially sick, some don’t know they had it.

And, most importantly, Americans will quickly develop Corona Fatigue.

Dems always overdo it.

The sports and entertainment venues closings are probably more lawyer than virus driven. They could be exposing themselves to millions in bogus claims. Even if they’re not at fault, it costs lots of money to defend yourself.

This, too shall pass. And it won’t take long. If there’s one thing on which you can rely, it’s Americans’ short attention spans.

I jumped in to a number of energy stocks in the last 2 days. Exxon, for example, IMO was a bargain and still is. I bought at $35.00. I hit some other energy stocks at their lowest number in years.

I’ve been having a twitter battle with a guy who was best man at my wedding but has gone full libertarian TDS. He’s absolutely insane.

After the press conference, I sent out a general tweet but it was aimed directly at his cranium. I said “before anyone starts whining about how crappy the President is, do you due diligence and watch the entire press conference. Do not relay on media spin and partial reporting.

To me, the key point was the lady who said it took four years to develop a test for HIV and the trump team has accomplished the same in three weeks.

I wrote that despite being a lifelong Republican

That means you were voting for packing the Federal courts with fanatical partisan Democrat judge-presidents, and for treating the seditious Democrat Media with kid gloves.

Begone, Wehner, you licker of dogMitt.

When our President was being impeached, he DIDN’T even know he had this problem. His most recent response may be helpful. His pandemic response office(s) were eliminated or severely down financed in 2018, either by him or by Bolton. See below.

There is a serious run on toilet paper at stores and on line. I thought the Covid-19 main symptoms were respiratory, not bowel.

Snopes is left-leaning nonsense and not to be trusted for any information.
