A week ago, Donald Trump was riding high when it came to how the American public perceived his handling of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has left over 4.600 Americans dead and another 209,000 infected with the often lethal disease. Specifically, a Gallup tracking poll showed that 49 percent of those surveyed approved of the […]
With each news cycle, Donald Trump draws closer to being a failed one-term president who was unable to rise to the greatest challenge of his presidency: The national crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Consider some of the headlines that have been burned into the public mentality: Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, […]
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 […]

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.
