Maureen Dowd: “Trump Makes Us Ill”
New York Times ^ | 29 Feb 2020 | Maureen Dowd

Donald Trump was right.

Germs are scary.

For three decades, I talked to Trump about his fear of germs. When I interviewed him at the Trump Tower restaurant during the 2016 race, the famous germophobe had a big hospital-strength bottle of hand sanitizer on the table, next to my salad, ready to squirt.

He told me about the nightmarish feeling he had when a man emerged from the bathroom in a restaurant with wet hands and shook his hand. He couldn’t eat afterward.

Today, in a stunning twist of fate, germs are infecting his presidency and threatening a bad prognosis for his re-election prospects.

Trump is the first president to use the stock market as a near-daily measure of his success — and his virility — and now the market is slumping. If you want to own it on the way up, you have to own it on the way down.

I love how these writers admit, whether they realise it or not, how pathetic
and petty they are.

They feel helpless and afraid, and are living their lives in limbo.

Maybe back in the 1980s and to the mid-1990s....her writing was worth reading. But the past decade? It’s all two-star marginal stuff. She should just retire to Miami.

At one time, ol’ MoReen was pretty hot.

But like the Hot-Crazy Matrix warns:

“...strippers, girls named Tiffany, redheads...”

My meager investments at this moment are still about $56,000.00 greater than the lowest point in Obama's administration when I thought I might not survive my retirement. It is now only $11,000.00 down from the high less than two weeks ago.

Maureen Dowd, you are a feckless pathetic fool who I am sure once considered Donald Trump a friend.

She’s 68 years old now. Doubt she’s still a true redhead.

If they could do so and get away with it, the Left would do everything possible to spread the virus ahead of the election. They love it.

She would enjoy Havana more than Miami.
