Well, now here's an example in the Washington Post of what I mean in my earlier thread in this posting about how the Orange Nightmare is a clear and present danger, and even though I'm a light-minded individual I can see Trump being such a danger now to the entire nation that he should be removed before he can kill anyone else.
Trump declared to reporters at the White House that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine for a week and a half, as a purported preventive against covid-19. Moments later, he received a stern warning on the dangers of that much-discussed possible treatment for the novel coronavirus. And that warning came from none other than Fox News
“That was stunning," said Cavuto, reacting to the president’s remarks. “The president of the United States, just to acknowledge that he is taking a hydroxychloroquine, a drug that [was] meant really to treat malaria and lupus. The president is insistent that it has enormous benefits for patients either trying to prevent or already have covid-19. The fact of the matter is, though, when the president said, ‘What have you got to lose?’ a number of studies, those are certainly vulnerable in the population have one thing to lose. Their lives.”.....Such remarks served as a potent reminder that Trump’s views don’t particularly engage with knowledge. Over the past week and a half — roughly the same period during which Trump says he has been taking the drug — two studies have emerged casting doubt on the drug’s efficacy vis-a-vis the virus. “The nail has virtually been put in the coffin of hydroxychloroquine,” William Schaffner, an adviser to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told CNN. One of the studies showed that patients who took the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were more likely to suffer cardiac arrest during the study period.
Clinical trials now underway are expected to produce more definitive and reliable information about the drug and covid-19.
Citing “heart rhythm problems,” the FDA in late April advised against use of hydroxychloroquine “outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial.” Trump has a “common” form of heart disease. A small Brazilian study of chloroquine — which is related to hydroxychloroquine — was stopped in April after “coronavirus patients taking a higher dose of chloroquine developed irregular heart rates that increased their risk of a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia,” according to the New York Times.
I'm glad. Humor helps.
One of my favorite epic name-calling rants is from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where he loses it over getting a jelly-of-the-month club membership instead of his bonus.
We've all had those moments where there just aren't enough foul nouns and adjectives to express how we're feeling. ?
He is mad at Fox now. He said not many trump supporters since Roger Ailes left and that he is looking for a new propaganda machine, I am sorry I meant news outlet.
I also like how Pelosi called him morbidly obese.

Hmm, I had a vision (posted in Random predictions) a while back that Don Jr. would be attempting to create a new media empire as a Fox replacement. Wonder if that has already been in the works, or if this harkens to some other game in town they'll be throwing their support behind.

Dear Female Howard Hughes,
I think what Nietzsche meant to say was: What doesn't kill you toys with you mercilessly, like a salivating cat.
I've long since mastered the self-haircut. It can be done. What's more, I believe in you!
Love,

Yikes! If I ever heard about that at the time, I don't remember it now. And I'm sure I wouldn't have taken it seriously in 2016. It would have sounded to me like the manic grandiosity of a con man/tv personality trying too hard to stand elbow-to-elbow with Oprah. Oh, wait... ;)
Now I guess he's aiming for Rupert Murdoch status. The writers of Succession must find all of this darkly hilarious.
I just now clearly heard....

Literally, "trumps" = "playing cards"
