@deetoo and in the run up to the 2016 election I recall the republicans were divided, ridiculing and tearing each other down and the man who won the nomination had received the most searing criticism of all from his colleagues. Still once the nomination was decided they changed their tune and supported him. While it would be nice to see more unity right now, it will come once the nominee is picked.
Hi, I am new here, have been lurking for awhile and finally registered this evening. On my way to sleep the other night, not thinking about DT consciously, all of a sudden I saw him in my mind's eye, and it was the month of March, and he was in a tight enclosed space like very large clam shell plastic packaging that was olive drab green. Like he was a captive.
Hi @amyv. This is very similar to what I've seen and posted about:
The Orange Nightmare is in India. Over 100,000 people showed up to a "rally" there at their stadium. They gave him a big warm welcome (YUK) He's there to sell arms or something I think. I also just feel he's there for hidden reasons too. He doesn't do these things unless there's something in it for him. He can stay in India! ?
Additional Side note: everytime he is out of the country something damming comes out about him...hmmmmm
I'm surprised he is traveling overseas right now. With the news of the coronavirus spread, anyone who comes in contact with him could be a potential carrier of the virus (Remember, many people who contract the coronavirus may have minimum or no symptoms. Therefore, they do not know they are infected and can spread the disease).
On the other hand, if Trump could get sick for a bit, that wouldn't be too bad. Not deathly ill or anything like that (I rather he drown in scandal or a blue wave in November). But a few weeks of him being quaranteened and silenced in the White House would be like a vacation for the rest of us from the evil he inflicts. No Trump rallying his supporters with threats and violence. No Trump to use Twitter to shock the nation with insights into his lack of empathy and depths of cruelty. No Trump for several glorious, peaceful weeks.
Again, I don't want his death or severe illness. But I think it would be highly ironic if he caught the virus, came home, spread it to his followers, and yet still maintain that everything is "under control."
It will show karma at work, in any case. And hopefully keep him away from the news and our lives while we recover a bit from his evil.
A prescient and hopeful photo I took at the September 2014 Climate March in NYC. Notice the Trump Tower is in the background. I think it is both prescient and hopeful.
Has anyone looked at the impact coronavirus will have on Trump in regard to the economy (as well as his mental state)?
@besoulinspired If we end up with a recession in 2020, then it will hurt Trump. If elections go as they have in the past, people vote against the incumbent party if there is an economic downturn in the 8 months prior to the election.
That's why Trump and the GOP, including FOX, have been downplaying the threat of the virus even though the Centers for Disease control is saying we should expect it will spread here.
I just watched Trump on MSNBC where he did 180 from yesterday. Yesterday his people said there was very little chance of the virus causing big problem in the US. Trump removed all the protections in 2018 that Obama put in place to handle pandemics. Today he says that the government is ready for what ever the coronavirus has to throw at us. It seems he only began to take notice when the stock market took a major fall. This may be the straw that broke the camels back for Trump. We can hope.
In today's press conference T also contradicted what the CDC said, commenting he didn't think it's inevitable that the virus will spread here. @laurie, I agree about T being concerned only when the stock market takes a hit, and how that might affect his election. But then, he also partly blamed the stock market plunge on last night's democratic debate. Trying to wrap your head around that one will make your brain explode.
