Every day seems to provide a new opportunity to declare that Donald Trump has done or said something that is even worse than anything he’s done or said before. It may seem redundant or hyperbole, but somehow Trump actually does rise to the challenge and manages to exceed whatever heinousness he excreted the day before. It’s a gift.<\/p>\n

\"Donald
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday morning Trump took to his Twitter machine to unleash another series of frenzied, paranoid, and nearly incoherent rants. Among them, he has apparently abandoned his “Sleepy”<\/em> nickname<\/a><\/strong> for Joe Biden and is trying out “Corrupt”<\/em> because nothing is working for him<\/a><\/strong>. Biden continues to expand his lead in national polls, as well as in every swing state. Trump’s desperation shows in his Twittering that is now rampant with QAnon conspiracy crackpots. And he’s touting his efforts to kill healthcare for 20 million Americans during a pandemic in which he has already killed more than 125,000 people. It’s notable that he’s been promising to repeal and replace Obamacare for 4 years, but still doesn’t have a plan. The GOP has been running the same con for 10 years.<\/p>\n

Of particular interest is one tweet that reveals just how shallow, delusional, and devoid of substance Trump is. His background as a failed real estate grifter and self-proclaimed “King of Debt<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em> (with six bankruptcies under his bulging belt) never prepared him for the presidency. Nor did his most recent professional experience as a reality TV game show host. But that’s the one that continues to guide his conduct in office:<\/p>\n

Do not believe the Fake News Media. Oklahoma speech had the highest Saturday television ratings in @FoxNews<\/a> history. @seanhannity<\/a> dominated T.V. with my interview on Thursday night, more than @CNN<\/a> & MSDNC COMBINED. These are the real polls, the Silent Majority, not FAKE POLLS!<\/p>\n
