More evidence [as if additional proof is needed] that Donald Trump is completely out of control, incompetent, imbalanced, and yes, unhinged—but most of all, dangerous:
“The president’s statements this morning encourage illegal and dangerous acts. He is putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19. His unhinged rantings and calls for people to ‘liberate’ states could also lead to violence.”
—Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, in response to Trump’s irresponsible tweets of “LIBERATE MINNESOTA,” “LIBERATE MICHIGAN” and “LIBERATE VIRGINIA.”
“I think elements of what they’ve done is too much and it’s just too much.”
—Donald Trump, in justifying the tweets about restrictions imposed by the states in efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19—without expanding on what orders he thinks have gone too far. [The states in question have imposed restrictions that precisely follow the recommendations laid out by Trump’s own White House coronavirus task force last month that go by the name “The President’s Coronavirus Guidelines For America.”
“Every one of us has a role to play in winning this war. Every citizen, family, and business can make the difference in stopping the virus. This is our shared patriotic duty.”
—Trump, on Friday, in a typical [for him] mixed message, adding more confusion to the national dialog.
“As the governor of the commonwealth of Virginia I, along with my staff, are fighting a biological war. I do not have time to involve myself in Twitter wars. I will continue to do everything that I can to keep Virginia safe and to save lives.”
—Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, when asked about Trump’s tweet.
“If he’s sitting home watching TV, maybe he should get up and go to work.”
—New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, responding to another Trump tweet which said Cuomo should “spend more time ‘doing’ and less time ‘complaining.’ Get out there and get the job done. Stop talking!”

Tom great quotes from Black Face Northam and unpaired Cuomo.
Yep, the blackface apparently was Northam (though it’s never been determined for sure) and was/is inexcusable. No doubt about it’s being racist and completely unacceptable. But it seems you’re bringing it up only as a deflection from the real issue at hand. Are you planning to use that for every issue that arises? If so, I’m certain we can dredge up many more Trump actions and statements that were inappropriate.
BTW, what exactly does “unpaired” mean? Just curious.
Ben, did it ever occur to you that Northern is the one deflecting ? I think Jim meant impaired. If he meant unprepared, then the statement is definitely accurate.
It’s worth repeating again: “Donald Trump is completely out of control, incompetent, imbalanced, and yes, unhinged—but most of all, dangerous.” – Tom Aswell, Louisiana Voice April 18, 2020.
In yesterday’s New Yorker Magazine, Susan B. Glasser wrote: “The novel coronavirus is truly a new type of American crisis, but it has been met by the same old, same old from America’s President: unhinged press conferences and unfounded conspiracy theories; lies, attacks, and bizarre non sequiturs; and abrupt, seemingly incomprehensible policy shifts from a leader who has no problem changing course at the expense of his own credibility.”

MAFTA – Make America Free of Trump Again
Well CJ, you can wear that hat in about 4 years when the Dems run Cuomo (?).
