Donald Trump has failed miserably when it comes to any number of the things he was elected to accomplish. Trump promised the economy would boom under his leadership. But coronavirus has the nation on the verge of an economic depression, with 3.3 million Americans filing for unemployment last week and the overall unemployment rate possibly […]
As the U.S. death toll rises to nearly 2,400 and 135,000 Americans are reported to have contracted coronavirus, one of the biggest problems facing medical professionals in the United States is a lack of equipment needed to treat patients with COVID-19, including gloves, masks, and ventilators. But according to the U.S. State Department, we now […]
Donald Trump hates all media except the outlets that praise him, i.e. Fox News or other right-wing propaganda shills that are only too happy to carry water for the administration and tell the president what a great job he’s doing. So it was more than a bit uncharacteristic of Trump to tweet out praise of […]
On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a $2 trillion stimulus package that is intended to provide some financial relief to the millions of workers who have lost their jobs as the places they work have been shuttered in response to the coronavirus pandemic which has now killed nearly 1,600 Americans and infected another 101,000.

Poor Eric Trump! He desperately wants to be his father’s favorite child, but that position will always be held by his sister, Ivanka, who seems to be “close” to her father in ways that make most people’s skin crawl. Eric isn’t even as relevant as his brother, Don Jr., who at least gets to flash […]
Today we learned that Donald Trump is planning to pretend the COVID-19 crisis is all gone as soon as Easter, maybe sooner, not because the danger will be gone, but because he’s terrified of losing in November if the economy goes down the tubes, which it very likely will no matter what he does. Keep […]
Even though he loves to attack NBC, MSNBC, and their parent company, Comcast, Donald Trump almost never mentions the biggest star at MSNBC, Rachel Maddow. That probably has something to do with the fact that Maddow is a Rhodes scholar with a doctorate in political philosophy from Oxford University and he’s terrified of what would […]
Despite Donald Trump’s constant promises that he’s making sure healthcare workers have the protective equipment they so desperately need as they treat patients with coronavirus, there are reports of shortages of gloves and masks across the country.
