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.

remember these types once were Republican advisers/pundits, who “knew” what was best for the dumb masses.

OUTSTANDING observation #1. It’s how TOTALITARIAN buttboys roll...over all of us. Speech for me. No platform, speech or amplification for you. No weapons, too.

Remember the Alamo! remember the republic?

Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

Where are those weapons of mass destruction that the GOP Establishment told us we were going to war over? Peter Wehner doesn’t have a problem with that.

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

That is true, but many people hear “flu” and think stomach/intestinal illness. They do not know that influenza is respiratory. Just not educated as to what is what.

Do you know of any concrete steps the Trump administration has taken to change the fact that 80% of our medical supplies currently come from China? Puerto Rico used to be a supplier of medical supplies, then that was gone. I wonder if the infrastructure is still there ready to be restored to quick manufacture.

"There is a serious run on toilet paper at stores and on line."

Look in the bookstore's trash dumpster for The Atlantic. It should get you through any quarantine.

Peter Wehner is a neocon warmonger who worked for GW Bush and openly despises the Christian right.

I agree, he is all ate up with the same arrogance and stupidity as his bosom buddy Kristol. Of all the accomplishments we must accredit PDJT, driving fools like Wehner to the outskirts of GOP influence is one of the best.

Did you read the link? If not, then enjoy your ignorance. I guess Business Insider and Fortune which also referred to this information are also left-leaning nonsense.

The Trump can run endless ads reminding the country that he steered them through this difficult time

They are hoping something so strong can carry Trump away.
