Today's COVID-19 task force news conference by President Trump and his team was extremely challenging to watch and listen to!
I watched the entire thing and yes of course I felt my emotions connecting and getting aggravated at the entire theater of the absurd!
I started doing what I usually do, which is really looking at them for emotions (or lack of them)and then into and eventually through them to the truth.
I look for all the tells, the subtle body signals we all subconsciously make. Initially the blonde woman doctor had a very telling and very immediate quick head pull to her right every single time Trump lies. She bobble headed with the entire larger back row initially but then came the tell to her right. Over and over repeated each and every day.
But after many of these news conferences she suddenly, completely or almost completely got it under control and wasn't doing it any more. Wow! When I heard her give a private interview with a journalist a few days ago she very clearly made statements acknowledging that the president likes to be "optimistic" but his comments didn't coincide with current medical information that had been released. Another wow.
I'd already watched Dr.Fauci give almost imperceptible tells as well--a quick, tiny lower side of his mouth twitch (which I saw as the beginning of a quick pleased smile) when he'd quite deftly played Trump and reiterated part of a comment by Trump but saying quite the opposite of him. I loved it!
Ah I remember thinking, science will eventually win here. He's still getting to stay in his truth and in there in the team, just by very carefully holding his space to stay in the game and hold his own! He did it 3 or 4 times today. Subtle correction of Trump but in a conciliatory even somewhat placating Trump way and into a nodding sort of agreement by him.
Dr. Fauci said in another private interview "You know I said I will always be frank and honest with you about the facts" but "I'm not here to politicize this" and he's trying to do that.
He doesn't antagonize Trump directly or even egg him on with facts or figures or "you saids" as the aggravated and frustrated journalists sometimes do but he stays in there and tries to self correct the understanding.
It just that Trump can't hold on to facts or even thoughts much less factual statistics or the reality of our situation, so he never advances by very much. Today he actually loss it completely!
The gigantic furious loss of control and yelling at Peter the journalist who was simply asking for an explanation of differences in saying they'd do one thing and then seemingly not have done anything at all since yesterdays conference.
It was incredibly, expressively volatile by Trump and the fire and fury shook me in its ugliness to the core. I had to really, really shake off the energy in all ways! No way was I letting that stay with me and turn me into him emotionally and reactively.
Even though we all have that volatile anger in us as our shared shadow, I recognize it and exorcise it for my own good as much as I can and its challenging and tricky but it's for my mental and physical health to recognize it and let it go. For my own good and the good of the collective world.
It was indeed, pretty obvious that he can only focus on using White House briefings as not only his contant need for praise and affirmation but even more desperately needing the approval of the base while playing their tune in his own twisted platform of using a news conference to make up for his desperately needing and missing his own political rallies.
He is desperate to win, be best (thank you, Melania) and be seen as a true wartime president better and best than any president, during any war of any time.
You did it Mr. Trump. Not President, not presidential President Trump just Mr. Always needy, completely breaking down and regressing more and more into older and older patterns of either the big baby balloon all puffed up having the air knocked out of him at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and knowing it but trying to stay inflated and upright none the less.
No longer aggravated by him, certainly not angry or furious at him (phew!) just sad that he's so stuck in the bravado bully child that he can't seem to truly escape or spiritually transform his vibrational energy from such a low level to the beautiful and transformative light of spiritual growth and love
Oh my what a show we had today!
It's actually sad, the people who continue to ignore the advice of science in favour of Trump's rose coloured glasses are most likely to suffer the Darwinian consequences regardless of our attempts to shine a light. There is a term for this that I can't recall.
I've seen the term "trumpademic" used a few times recently. History is cruel, I suspect the mismanagement of this crisis will mean that will become the term applied to this, Covid-19, will merely be the academic term. I believe someone predicted the trump name would become reviled the world over. Given both the deaths and long term health consequences we are just now learning about, if this is not the event, I really am at a loss to what could come next.
I am glad you have someone like Faucii down there.
You mean 'Winning a Darwin Award"? "The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions" Here in the Deep South we call that "Hold my beer, Watch 'is" or "Pour some bleach in that gene pool son"
I am livid right now. They are trying to cut protections for disabled students via the COVID relief bill under the guise of flexibility. When When WHEN are these people going to go away?
The most vulnerable always get the shaft. I'm so sick of it.
You can thank the Turtle faced turd for that... I swear.. .I despise his mewling fawning greedy worship of all things GOP and Fearless Leader.. almost more than listening to Orange Foolius.
Thank you everyone for your warm welcome! ? I can really feel it, and it's a nice change from the fear and uncertainty of recent days.
He's probably the only person on earth who makes sane people feel like beating up an appliance.
That made me laugh so hard, thank you!

AKA "Hey y'all, lookit me!"
AKA "Well that gene pool was always shallow"
So, I was reading an Australian psychic blog and here's a prediction they posted in response to COVID-19.
"Spirit Friends: Possibility Trump and family flees the US, with intention of governing from off shore: May/June"
I was taken aback when I read that because isn't there a few predictions on this forum about 45 and his family getting away?
