“I don’t take responsibility at all.”
–Donald Trump, response to a question on March 13 about a lack of widespread access to testing for the coronavirus.
“I’d rate it a 10. I think we’ve done a great job, and it started with the fact that we kept a very highly infected country, despite all of the, even the professionals saying it’s too early to do that,”
—Donald Trump, on March 16 in rating his administration’s reaction to the coronavirus pandemic.

He made himself quite clear. If something bad happens it is never his fault. If something good happens he takes full responsibility – simple, right?
Right. Seems to be working for 40% of the voters for sure.
Yes, Mr. Winham, you are RIGHT! In fact, a look at the check off list for diagnosis of Malignant Narcissism makes it very easy to predict what Trump is going to do. So far, he has proven to be textbook perfect in his narcissistic behavior. While this is good to know….it doesn’t offer how we, as Americans, are going to be protected from his rampant, corrupt abuse of power, while he is being aided and abetted by Republican Congressmen. He did more damage by abusing his presidential powers yesterday than most presidents would do in their entire terms….if ever.
“If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted treatment, several pharmaceutical companies stand to profit, including shareholders and senior executives with connections to the president. Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drug maker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.” As reported in the NY Times April 6, 2020.
Sounds like pretty much every politician ever; If it is good, I did it, if it is bad, I had no control. When the spread of virus softens and economy gets going, Obama will emerge and claim he had something to do with it. And Biden will say if Obama was involved, then so was he. Keep lying to yourselves, there will be a lot more than 40% of voters supporting Trump.And Cuomo will be remembered for buying Chinese in a crisis. And Biden and Obama will be remembered for, , well, nothing at all.And the Governor of California will be remembered for concern over illegals health care above taxpaying citizens.
(Sigh.) There’s just no end to Zoe’s rationalization of everything Trump does and says against her endless criticism of everything Obama despite the overwhelming evidence of Trump’s deep-seated corruption (just watch, she’s going to come back with examples of Obama ineptness so Zoe, here’s something for you to remember: we’re not Obama devotees either. But Trump’s ego, stupidity, ineptness, corruption and dishonesty so far outstrip anything you could possibly come up with on Obama. I know you can provide us with a list of Obama failures but I bet I can give you three or four of Trump’s for every one of Obama’s).
The fact of the matter is Trump has bankrupted virtually every business venture he’s undertaken; he’s defrauded workers, students at his so-called university, laundered money through his casinos (a known fact because he’s been fined for just that offense) and most likely through his real-estate ventures, i.e. sales of properties to Russian oligarchs; refused to release copies of his income taxes (wonder why that is?), refused to reveal his college grades, abused women, paid off hookers (illegally, from campaign funds), contributed to pro-abortion candidates, reversed himself so many times that we now just expect it as a matter of course, called himself a “very stable genius,” while not even being able to explain what busing means in the context of school desegregation, tries to pass himself off as an authority on everything from COVID-19 treatment to international intelligence to the Bible (remember Two Corinthians?), tries to govern by tweet (don’t try to say he doesn’t because he does), instead of draining the swamp, he re-stocked it with more Wall Street lobbyists; instead of making Mexico pay for his precious wall, he’s taking money from the military to pay for it; instead of eliminating the deficit, he’s increased it by a couple of trillion dollars; instead of eliminating ISIS, he may well have given them new life by abandoning the Kurds; instead of fighting socialism, he’s enhancing it with the stimulus (which was probably necessary,—if proper safeguards were put in place to keep a check on corruption, which they weren’t). I could go on, but why bother? You will justify anything he does, even the 180-degree reversals, lies, and denials.
Zoe, sorry. Not quite what you want to believe about Cali:

Zoe is hopeless–if she could only be rational and base her arguments on fact..but well, what to expect..following the drumbeat.
From a story published by Forrest Saunders on WTXL in Tallahassee, Florida.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — “On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that the state will receive more than 1 million doses of an anti-malarial drug that’s being touted as a treatment for the novel coronavirus by President Donald Trump.
While Trump has touted the use of the drug during press briefings in recent weeks, some health experts in his administration remain wary of recommending the use of the drug without further testing.”
As of a few minutes ago, Florida had 15,456 reported cases. Not that this will not go up dramatically. But ordering 1 million doses??? Coincidence that DeSantis is a good friend of Trump and talks to him daily??? Money to be made using a pandemic as a backdrop???
Trump allegedly has an interest in the concern that manufactures said malaria drug. This is typical. A narcissist without remorse and an operator who weaponizes the law these kind of violations of the emoluments clause is standard operating procedure, You can safely assume some of the volatility in the markets comes with advance alerts to cronies. Can someone spell insider trading?
Read Plaintiff in Chief by Jim Zirin. Its all layed out there, The Republican mercenaries are without mercy. Ruthlessly killing people to keep their
knucklehead in office. Making money for all the oligarchs. And fancy this if Agenda 21 is behind this-Trump as King of the World? Maybe that is a deep state indication of why he and Putin are so cozy. Putin as Premier for Life. Trump refusing to leave office. Autocrats popping up globally. Covid 19 as a useful diversion.
Sorry Fred, what did I say that was incorrect ? In your quote, sentence two. Can see if they are eligible for FREE………and that refers to ILLEGALS !!
cor·rup·tion
/kəˈrəpSH(ə)n/
noun
1.
dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery:
“the journalist who wants to expose corruption in high places”
If there was a shred of evidence, don’t you think Mr Schiff, Mr Nadler, Ms Pelosi would have exposed said evidence ? Your hollow accusations are without merit to date. If he has committed criminal acts, I am pretty certain the New York D.A or Attorney General of New York state (neither friends of Trump) would have charged him. But you prefer to make statements that you cannot back up; Be honest…you just do not like him and let it go with that.As for Mr Obama…He set a new standard for ineptness; he was not qualified to manage a snowball stand. What exactly was Obama’s qualifications for being a chief executive ?
Jack Brown, that is about as bad as gossip can get. Show your evidence before you parade statements like that in public. We do have a lot of evidence about members of Congress using inside info to make money, apparently. Republican mercenaries !!!!??? Members of Congress, both parties, have used position as a vehicle of obtaining wealth. Killing people ? Clinton rumors ? And CJ, you must know better than that ! Your implication is based on ??
And “OH”. I am hopeless ? I follow a drumbeat ? And I guess you drink lots of Kool-Aid. I am not rational ? I am the one not stating facts ? Virtually every post above is based purely on supposition OH, including yours.
(Sigh).. Name a politician that has not reversed their opinion; Hillary, Obama, Biden, John Bel, Bernie; I am anxious to see your list. In the meantime, if you do not care for my response or point of view, just ignore them.
Zoe,
It is ironic that you are criticizing others for not providing facts to support their allegations. Most of your allegations against Obama and the Clintons are based on conservative alternate reality faux facts, not actual facts.
One brief example is impeached trump’s criminal behavior. The Mueller Report documented at least four examples of obstruction of justice. Over a thousand former federal DOJ employees from both parties have said anyone other than impeached trump would have been prosecuted. I don’t know why these crimes were not included with his other crimes in the impeachment proceedings.
And don’t claim he was exonerated in the hoax trial. Moscow Mitch announce that he would be violating his oath to be impartial and would be doing whatever impeached trump’s lawyers wanted him to do. There was absolutely zero evidence presented to refute the charges.
When the checks and balances in the Constitution don’t work because Republicans in the Senate do not fulfill their responsibilities, our entire form of government is in danger.
I oppose impeached trump because of his actions. His mentally illness, incompetence, ethical failures and criminality are just issue that help us understand his behavior, but in no way excuse it or make less dangerous.

This sir, is corruption. Angelo and Edith, when you show me anything like this that Trump did, I will most certainly be educated. Until then, i respectfully ask that you are not so cavalier with your accusatory adjectives.
