Jack Ohman for March 13, 2020

More wishful thinking, sigh.

He doesn’t convince anybody  when he’s reading a script. And he doesn’t convince a majority of voters when he’s just being himself.

let him drown!

Shades of the wicked witch of the Wizard of Oz. This time he’s been hit by reality instead of water.

The steady drip, drip, drip of his presidency melting away.

Biggest lying POS ever to sit in the WH! As a germaphobe, he’s probably dying inside but his machoism won’t let his fears come to the surface.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!

His standard responses: brag about what he has done and shut the boarders. Even the sports franchise owners are ahead of him.

He did seem a bit off.. while reading the script. The man (?) has not been well for some time and one wonders just how much drugs are required to keep him standing.

At least Obama could read and deliver what was shown on the teleprompter – Tiny not so much. Thank God for staff that will explain what you were really meant to read and say on national TV broadcast from the Oval Orifice.

A perfect melt down.

Red, white, and flu — these colors run.

All is well. . . .

We have a space-age military and a 1910s health care infrastructure.

The civilized world has health care and gun control. The USA has gun care and health control.

Pundit Jonathan Bernstein about Trump’s “speech”:

Wow.If there’s been a worse Oval Office address ever, I certainly can’t think of it. All of President Donald Trump’s personal pathologies and his ineptness at the job of presidenting came together Wednesday night in a short, awful, counterproductive address to the nation.At least he managed to avoid wearing a campaign hat. But this was bad. Begin with the obvious: There’s absolutely no excuse for the White House to have to walk back not one, not two, but three policy elements in a short prepared speech almost immediately after it was delivered. The biggest? The president declared a thorough trade boycott of Europe, only to call “backsies” soon after the speech was over. He also mischaracterized a new travel ban, and claimed that he had talked insurance companies into a deal that they quickly let everyone know never happened. [insert by Godfreydaniel: Maybe hack speechwriter and notorious bigot Stephen Miller was ONLY short, but not prepared?] […] In fact, the core of the speech was likely counterproductive: […]Indeed, by continuing to brag about his supposed success in keeping what he called a “foreign” virus out, and by pinning his hopes on a new travel ban targeting passengerfrom Europe — even though the virus is already spreading across the U.S. — Trump still spent much of this short speech in his fantasy world in which he’s heroically defeated the pandemic. There was virtually nothing to prepare people for what’s actually going to happen. It still seems Trump himself doesn’t understand what’s happening.I have to admit I can’t quite guess how his strongest supporters manage to reconcile all of that with the rapidly mounting number of cases and the increasing changes in daily life that have to be difficult to ignore at this point. Not to mention the plunging stock market. But for everyone except those strongest supporters, his speech must have seemed out of touch with the realities of their lives.

From me, not Mr. Bernstein: I can only assume what I’ve assumed from the beginning, that Trump’s strongest supporters must necessarily have a great deal of brain damage. I will not speculate on the possible causes, but what else makes sense?

The contrast between these two is amazing. I’m not much of a Joe fan, but he sure beats Trump. Joe has a plan, which he said Trump is welcome to, but of course Trump tweeted something derogatory in response.

Nice job Jack; the melt-down looks realistic to me.

The country is sick and tired of the orange liar.
