Trump is an egomaniac, a narcissist and a control freak. Nothing happens in his world without his knowledge and approval. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a damned fool.

Trump’s latest f**k up is his mishandling of the coronavirus. He is desperately attempting to misdirect the blame for another mistake, but this time he won’t be able to hide the facts.

In another sad attempt to misdirect the facts and the extent of the threat to Americans, the orange bully called it a “foreign virus,” and blamed the European Union for it coming to America. Like a good little wooden-headed puppet, fake Secretary of State Mike Pompeo constantly refers to it as the “Wuhan coronavirus.”

Everything Trump says about his administration’s efforts to battle the virus is a lie, but his most egregious was related to testing kits. Trump told his cult that ‘anyone who wants to get tested, the kits are available.’ The truth is that when he told this lie, only 25,000 kits were available for 330 million Americans.

“The system is not really geared to what we need right now,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Thursday. “That is a failing. Let’s admit it.”

But Trump will never admit that he is overwhelmed. His ego won’t allow an admission of failure. This is especially sad because his life’s story is a history of failures. He is an extremely poor businessman who was forced to accept bailouts from the Saudi Royal Family and Russian oligarchs. He failed at two marriages, and it appears that his third is in jeopardy. He did the impossible and was forced to declare bankruptcy on his Atlantic City casinos after discoveries of money laundering by the New Jersey mob were exposed. Trump’s business “empire” settled multiple lawsuits out of court including his fraudulent “Trump University.” Trump continues to make hasty and harmful decisions as he did with “Trump Airlines,” “Trump Steaks,” and “Trump Wine.” His favored Trump Tower in Manhattan is partially vacant. Multiple high-end retail outlets left the establishment after Trump’s illegitimate election.

However, Trump continues to use his illegitimate presidency to further his foreign and domestic business interests. To receive access to Donny Boy foreign dignitaries continue to use Trump Hotels whenever possible.

Trump is indebted to Vladimir Putin and America’s television “news” broadcasts for assisting his illegitimate win in the Electoral College. He desperately needed his position to promote his failing businesses.

Trump has been impeached, but a cowardly Republican senate refused to remove him from office. Remember this fact when you go to the polls on November 3^rd. Several Republican traitors are up for reelection, including Moscow Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham. No Republican is worthy of receiving your precious and powerful vote.
