All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

Kidnap plot somehow ties to hatred of Trump:

CNN
A federal criminal complaint unveiled earlier Thursday said that 13 people were arrested in the kidnapping scheme aimed at Whitmer, a Democrat. The alleged plan included plans to overthrow several state governments that the suspects "believe are violating the US Constitution," including the government of Michigan and Whitmer.
Following the announcement by federal and state officials, Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller lambasted the governor, who had tied Trump's rhetoric to the plot in earlier televised remarks, saying she "wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart" for Trump.

...she "wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart" for Trump...

So does 90% of the world...

...she "wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart" for Trump...

So does 90% of the world...

US exceptionalism at work: Right now 43.2% of its inhabitants approve of Trump. 53.4% don't.

...and 3.4% are too stoned to care either way...

Well here comes the 25th from Pelosi:

Pelosi: Congress will discuss rules for Trump's removal under 25th amendment

Democrats plan to create commission to review president’s fitness for office as speaker warns of ‘disassociation from reality’

Democrats in the US Congress have announced a plan to create a commission to review whether Donald Trump is capable of carrying out his presidential duties or should face removal from office.

The office of the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, announced a Friday press conference about the bill after she expressed concern that Trump, who is under treatment for coronavirus at the White House, is suffering a “disassociation from reality”.

The president has unleashed a barrage of erratic and self-contradictory tweets and declarations in recent days that have left staff scrambling and raised concerns over his stability.

In a zigzagging interview on the Fox Business channel on Thursday, his first since being hospitalised, Trump, 74, boasted: “I’m back because I am a perfect physical specimen and I’m extremely young. And so I’m lucky in that way.”

Pelosi, who is negotiating a Covid-19 economic stimulus plan, responded at her weekly press conference: “The plan isn’t for the president to say that he’s a perfect physical specimen. Specimen, maybe I can agree with that ... And young, he said he was young.”

A grandstanding waste of time, and this close to election day probably counter-productive. Sort the Coronavirus package out Nancy, Trump will covfefe regardless.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing (i.e. Counter-productive)

There is no need to test all the time because he will be positive for at least a week more!

Asked by Hannity whether he had had a test since testing positive last week, Trump said: “Well what we’re doing is, probably the test will be tomorrow. The actual test, because there’s no reason to test all the time.”

In the rambling interview, during which he spoke with a hoarse voice, at times pausing to cough, the president leapt from one rightwing talking point to the next. He also referred to abortions as “early term executions”, after reports confirming that treatments he has taken to treat his Covid-19 were developed using cells derived from aborted fetuses – a practice his administration opposes.

During an hour-long interview with the Fox Business channel earlier in the day, Trump said he wouldn’t participate in a virtual debate with his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the new format amid concerns that the president could still be contagious and spread the virus.

In the interview, Trump said of the virus, “You get better. That’s what happens, you get better.”

Trump plans to do another interview with Fox News -- this time on camera with Dr. Marc Siegel, a medical analyst for the channel -- that will air Friday night. It will be his first on-camera interview since contracting coronavirus.

Trump to give Mussolini balcony speech

Trump addresses idiots (black conservatives):

In excerpts of remarks Trump will deliver from a White House balcony this afternoon to a group of Black conservative activists, the president will defend law enforcement and say police are needed to protect Black lives.
“No one is hurt more by the left-wing war on cops than African Americans,” Trump will say. “Last year, in just 4 Democrat-Run cities, over 1,000 African-Americans were murdered as a result of violent crime. And the riots, looting, and arson disproportionately hurt Black and Latino communities.”
