He and Vice President Mike Pence spoke for about 20 minutes and then &#8212; <em>poof!<\/em> &#8212; they were gone.<\/p>\n<p>No answers to questions from reporters. No scolding the media for doing their job. No attempts to happy talk his way past the misery and tragedy caused by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>No sweat. I didn&#8217;t need to hear any more from the Moron in Chief. I have heard <em>enough.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What I do need to say without any equivocation is that Donald Trump continues to inflict grievous damage on the country he was elected govern.<\/p>\n<p>The abbreviated rant today does not dismiss the idiocy that poured out of Trump&#8217;s pie hole Thursday, when he mused aloud about whether ingesting bleach or other disinfectants might kill the coronavirus inside the body of the individual who ingests it.\u00a0Is there anything you&#8217;ve heard come from the president of the United States that is more certifiably insane than that? I didn&#8217;t think so. This one tops the charts, man!<\/p>\n<p>So now we hear that Trump might start reducing his TV exposure at these daily rants. He might not appear each day. Trump might have gotten the message &#8212; <em>finally!<\/em> &#8212; that he is doing himself more harm than good by blathering dangerous rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>I quit long ago taking a single thing that comes from Donald Trump with any semblance of seriousness. He is a serial liar who now has entered a dangerous new zone of danger: His absolute and astonishing ignorance is now threatening the lives of Trump adherents who might actually take this man seriously.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of my obvious dismay and disgust over Trump&#8217;s latest disastrous rhetorical rant, I am even more dismayed by the medical experts&#8217; surrounding him. They should be resigning <em>en masse<\/em> and they should condemn the moronic suggestion that swallowing, injecting or snorting poison might serve as a cure for a deadly viral infection.<\/p>\n<p>Drs. Deborah Birx, Robert Redfield and Anthony Fauci are brilliant infectious disease experts. They are a key part of the White House pandemic response team. Why in the world can they stand by while Donald Trump throws out such idiocy?<\/p>\n<p>I am shaking my head. I am slapping my forehead. I am beyond flabbergasted at the moronic blathering that keeps pouring out of Donald Trump&#8217;s yapper. What in the world is it going to take before we as a nation decide we have had enough of this imminently dangerous imbecile?<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=MAGA%20%23drinkingbleach%20%23coronavirus%20%23pandemic%20%23POTUS&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s daily White House press room rant was an abbreviated affair today.
