I see "good" King Donald has passed a historic milestone today.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa/u-s-coronavirus-deaths-surpass-vietnam-war-toll-as-florida-governor-meets-trump-idUSKCN22A278
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. coronavirus death toll reached a grim milestone on Tuesday, surpassing the number of American lives lost in the Vietnam War.
The human toll has likewise been staggering. As of Tuesday, 58,233 have died of COVID-19 in the United States, according to a Reuters tally, eclipsing in 12 weeks the total number of Americans killed during 16 years of U.S. military involvement in Vietnam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_of_the_United_States_in_the_Vietnam_War
September 1950 — Truman sends the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) Indochina to Vietnam to assist the French.
November 1, 1955 — President Eisenhower deploys the Military Assistance Advisory Group to train the Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
May 1961 — Kennedy sends 500 United States Army Special Forces personnel to South Vietnam to train South Vietnamese soldiers following a visit to the country by Vice-President Johnson.
1966 — Lyndon B. Johnson expanded the number of troops being sent into Vietnam to 385,000.
1969 — Richard Nixon continued the war
On January 15, 1973, citing progress in peace negotiations, Nixon announced the suspension of all offensive actions against North Vietnam

Let's see that's five Presidents and 23 years. King Donald, 12 weeks. Yep, he needs to be first.

But wait, the Civil was killed more and just one President.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-trump-liability/trump-orders-u-s-meat-processing-plants-to-stay-open-despite-coronavirus-fears-idUSKCN22A2OB
WASHINGTON/CHICAGO (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered meat-processing plants to stay open

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-smithfield/smithfield-to-close-illinois-pork-facility-after-workers-test-positive-for-virus-idUSKCN22636X
(Reuters) - World’s largest pork processor Smithfield Foods Inc said on Friday it will suspend operations at its Monmouth, Illinois pork processing facility next week after some employees tested positive for COVID-19

I guess "good" Kind Donald wants to send COVID-19 contaminated meat to every American table so he can reign as the undisputed President who killed the most Americans. Remember, his narcissism requires him to be first.

King Donald has acted like Nixon from the moment he chose the same election strategy. America has already had its fill of Nixonian crap.

Actually not quite true, the corona effect started in the last 2 weeks of the 1st quarter. But your point is well taken since 2 bad weeks took what was om track to be a + 2% down to a -4.8% a full quarter will be most impressive.

Reality setting in
Trump is standing up a council under the first deployment of the Presidential Transition Act by an incumbent running for another term after Congress moved in 2015 to better ensure continuity of government when one president hands off to another.

Landslide for King Donald
(CNN)As he huddled with advisers on Friday evening, President Donald Trump was still fuming over his sliding poll numbers and the onslaught of criticism he was facing for suggesting a day earlier that ingesting disinfectant might prove effective against coronavirus.
Within moments, the President was shouting -- not at the aides in the room, but into the phone -- at his campaign manager Brad Parscale, three people familiar with the matter told CNN. Shifting the blame away from himself, Trump berated Parscale for a recent spate of damaging poll numbers, even at one point threatening to sue Parscale.

Trump is working very hard at getting a clean sweep that he has earned in the electoral college.
What ever Trump touches dies.

https://theweek.com/speedreads/911804/report-trump-incensed-by-internal-polling-that-shows-losing-biden
In an attempt to get President Trump to stop holding daily coronavirus briefings, several advisers shared with him last week internal polling showing him lagging behind former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee
During a call last Wednesday with campaign manager Brad Parscale and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump was informed of two polls — one from the campaign, the other from the RNC — that showed him behind Biden.
During a briefing the next day, Trump suggested injecting bleach could fight COVID-19.

Is the plane made by Boeing and is the pilot delusional?

When the pilot has the mental stability of Andreas Lubitz (Germanwings Flight 9525) knowing what will happen isn't hope, it is a forgone conclusion. The only thing that can change that is a different pilot.

Trump vs. Bezos
In the past Mr Trump has said that Amazon doesn’t pay enough in taxes.
Coming from a bankrupt who doesn't pay his bills. :-)

Basically there are 3 types of people who v2.0 doesn't like, women in power (except when it's convenient), those who are taller than him (I fit that bill) and those who have more $'s than he does (and there's plenty of those). ;-)

That's the "Blamer in Chief" for you blaming everyone else for his own shortcomings, but he won't admit to them as he hasn't got the gonads to do so (it's a bit like those tiny hands of his and his huge illiteracy problem). ;-)

v2.0 still can't come to grips with reality.

Trump erupts over poll slump and threatens to sue campaign manager.

There's only 1 person to blame for your poor polling Donny, or can't you understand that?

And this didn't even come from Special Council Durham....those are gonna be epic.

Michael Flynn's lawyers seize on note showing how FBI official approached key interview in White House
...Michael Flynn's attorneys made public on Wednesday a handwritten note from Bill Priestap, the then-counterintelligence director at the FBI, that mused how agents should approach a critical interview with President Donald Trump's first national security adviser in the White House in January 2017 and gave Flynn's team new reason to cry foul.

"What's our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?" Priestap wrote. "If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ & have them decide. Or, if he initially lies, then we present him [redacted] & he admits it, document for DOJ, & let them decide how to address it."
