Despite his manic and lie-riddled propaganda video on Monday, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46967\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump has learned nothing from his coronavirus adventure<\/a><\/strong>. Not only is he still a potentially deadly COVID-19 Super Spreader, he is mentally distancing from reality. A review of his Tuesday morning Twitter rant is all the proof that any competent psychiatrist would need to involuntarily commit to Trump to an institution for his own safety and that of others. For example&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Did anyone get to see that absolute \u201cJoke\u201d of a Town Hall interview that Joe Biden did with Concast <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NBCNews<\/a> , hosted by Lester Holt? What a disgrace to our Country that FREE public airwaves can be used that way. All SOFTBALLS. A big FIX. Time should be paid by the corrupt DNC!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1313529166265020417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 6, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>No will be surprised that Trump is lashing out at the press that he so frequently maligns in Stalinist terms as <em>&#8220;the enemy of the people.&#8221;<\/em> But in this instance he is also insulting the American citizens participating in the NBC town hall with Joe Biden. After all, the people in the audience were undecided voters who were asking their own questions. And contrary to Trump&#8217;s whining, they were hardly <em>&#8220;softballs.&#8221;<\/em> The topics ranged from everything from Biden&#8217;s plans for reopening the country and schools to his age and mental health. He was also asked about defunding the police, domestic terrorism, abortion, and accusations that he&#8217;s a secret socialist.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s hysterical that Trump would criticize this independent town hall as a disgraceful use of the <em>&#8220;FREE public airwaves&#8221;<\/em> when his own Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) unloads rabidly biased and partisan commentaries 24 hours a day. And for much of those hours Trump himself is on their air to disseminate his lies. That time should be paid for by the RNC. But Trump was just getting started. He also tweeted that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1313449844413992961?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 6, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>First of all, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_influenza_statistics_by_flu_season\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">fatalities due to common influenza<\/a><\/strong> have averaged about 37,000 a year for the past decade. And the ten year high was 61,000. When asked about this tweet, Dr. Anthony Fauci contradicted Trump&#8217;s nonsense rambling, saying that COVID-19 is far more lethal than the flu.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s insane for Trump to suggest that we <em>&#8220;learn to live with&#8221;<\/em> COVID-19. Doesn&#8217;t he realize that the families and friends of the 211,000 Americans who have already died can hear him? And while he&#8217;s pretending that he has conquered the virus (it&#8217;s way to soon for him to say that), and that we shouldn&#8217;t be afraid, he also doesn&#8217;t get that he has access to medical care that far exceeds that of anyone else in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also tweeted an outright lie about Biden&#8217;s position on reproductive rights and Roe v. Wade. Trump falsely claimed that Biden supports late-term abortions. Then he tweeted that he&#8217;s looking forward to the next debate with Biden on October 15. Although Trump should not even be allowed in the studio. He and his entourage should be considered highly contagious and a risk to Biden, the press, and everyone else involved in producing the debate. He complained that the media <em>&#8220;refuses to discuss how good the Economy&#8221;<\/em> is doing. But the media only refuses to discuss that because the economy is in recession, more than 10 million people are still unemployed, thousands of businesses have gone bankrupt, and tens of thousands of Americans have been evicted or foreclosed on.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump tweeted that he&#8217;s terminating discussions with Nancy Pelosi and Congress for a pandemic relief bill until after the election. He claims that Pelosi is negotiating in bad faith, despite the fact that she has already lowered her proposal by a trillion dollars in a compromise with Republicans who want it to go down a trillion more. Trump says that he&#8217;ll resume negotiations after he wins the election. So that, presumably, will be never. Those tweets resulted in the stock market taking a nose dive in the last hour of trading.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we can expect to see more of this aberrant behavior from Trump as election day draws near and his prospects for reelection continue to dwindle. It may even get worse after he loses. The American people and the press are going to have to be vigilant in order prevent further deterioration of our democracy. Trump is dangerously unstable and would like nothing better than to take the country down with him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The more that Trump sinks into electoral oblivion, the more desperate and bizarre he becomes.
