freebeard, you think he is pretty. I get it.
I don't. Reading my mind may not be your strongest power. Who is 'pretty'? Our President, it turns out, is a dead ringer for Genera Patton.

Nobody is perfect. As Fat Charlie pointed out, nobody will believe that it is a real tweet, it lacks all caps.
Do you doubt I could go looking and find a twat that doesn't have any all caps?

The real question is: Why didn't he listen to experts like Dr. Fauci earlier?
A realer question is why you ignore the Doctor's tamping down that speculation.
Quote:
Fauci has similarly credited Trump with approving travel restrictions that he argued were critical to tamping down the initial spread of the virus in the U.S. and on Tuesday said during a radio interview Trump was not to blame for testing delays that have welcomed scrutiny.

But he has been unafraid to chime in with a dose of reality even when it cuts against what Trump himself has offered to the public.

The president for weeks told the public to “relax,” insisted the government had the virus “under control” and suggested it would go away “like a miracle.” Fauci on Sunday, speaking moments after Trump left the briefing room, cautioned that “the worst was yet ahead.”

During a meeting with pharmaceutical executives this month to discuss a possible vaccine, Fauci played the role of educator for Trump, who appeared to misunderstand the timeline of when a coronavirus cure might be viable.

“So he's asking the question, ‘When is it going to be deployable?’” Fauci said. “And that is going to be, at the earliest, a year to a year and a half, no matter how fast you go.”

People in the health community say Fauci’s role has been important and note that the White House has not pushed back on or silenced the top health official after he has contradicted the president.

He's stopped being an *ss? How would you compare him against Tim Pool (the milquetoast centrist)?
