enough to take him down - because the GOP backs him, no matter what. The cultists will either buy the bullshit and start ingesting Clorox, or they'll accept the latest spin that he was just kidding.

really can watch that and believe it I suppose, but most are full of shit. They know better, but no one has given them a better excuse.

...and most of his supporters would still stick with him.

Susan Collins "concern" might reach an all-time high, however.

is whether he gets blamed for the economic pain that is coming (more widely than it is now).

Actually, they're probably going to blame China. Which might be kind of a risky proposition.

It is up to Democrats to turn out to vote against Trump and the GOP in November. There are many more people who agree with Democratic policies than with Trump and the GOP. The problem is that the GOP is able to motivate and mobilize more people while suppressing Democratic vote.

Lock him up.

He forgot to mention over 50,000 deaths and 26 million unemployed.

Long lines at food banks, and all he cares about is himself and disinfectant.

Stable genius...

to become "Presidential" or to finally "pivot". We're 3.5 years in and he only gets worse, with no one stopping him. He is a black hole of endless outrage, corruption, chaos and insanity. There is NO bottom and he sucks in and destroys anything near him (see Dr. Birx).

A majority of Americans already dislike Trump, so, obviously, it will make no difference to them. As to his supporters...well, they'll either agree with his claim that he was joking, or just dismiss it as "fake news" (because, you know, the fact that you have him on live video saying these things means nothing, when it comes from the Lying Liberal News Media. They probably Photoshopped the video or something.
