Trump’s willingness to punish a state’s residents amid a pandemic over a feud with a governor appeared evident in a statement at his press briefing Friday. The president said he had instructed Vice President Mike Pence, who heads up the president’s coronavirus task force, not to call the governors of Washington or Michigan. The two states have among the highest number of coronavirus cases in the nation, and Michigan is experiencing a dramatic spike in cases from 350 a week ago to nearly 3,000 Friday.

“I say, ‘Mike, don’t call ... the woman in Michigan. It doesn’t make any difference what happens,’” Trump said.

Next time you're wondering if you can get hold of hydroxychloroquine, see if a double gin and tonic might work.

The Brits figured that quinine water (tonic) would help agst malaria in "the Colonies".

8 months.......8 months.

We've got 8 months until we can get a new LEADER/POTUS in the White House to take the wheel of this car that is careening towards the ditch.

Until then.....

It's a mystery:
Seems recent "polls" show Trump's "approval ratings " going up...particularly his handing of the pandemic. One of the polls showed he had a 97% approval rating amongst Republicans. Only thing I can imagine is that a lot of Republicans have switched parties ( but probably not ).

BTW, I'm going to remove that "signature" below. It just isn't true. There are some men that you just can't help but despise completely.
