It's not about the WHO, and less about blame. It's about the MONEY. How much is he looking to collect/conserve/cover up and where will he spend it instead? Follow the money... always, but especially with a narcissistic psychopath.

Judd, thank you! It's so hard to keep up with everything today in this constantly changing and information-saturated environment, but your daily newsletters really help cut through the noise and focus on the most important topics we should be paying attention to. I love how you directly link all of your sources so we can read it for ourselves if we want. Keep up the good work!

He has the media blazing his daily message in living rooms every where. Why the hell does this continue? Have we gotten one good piece of info from his briefings. I just can not longer watch his sickening me-ism filled rants and ignorant gibberish. The more you see him, if you are unintelligent, the more normal he becomes.

In my conservative area, the push back to the stay home and non essential war cry in Virginia is getting louder. Lansing, Michigan is a similar good indication of what the Trumpers are believing from this president.

His message of blaming everyone but himself has been part of his life since childhood I am sure.

Things are going to be tough for the next year or so.

He never stops. Miller must be pushing this because Trump isn't bright enough to think it up on his own.

I read yesterday, Trump apparently is talking about dismissing Congress because his judgeships are stalled in the Senate.

Wake up, America. There is nothing stopping this wannabe dictator short of November elections. By then, all bets might be off.

My mantra remains:

Stupidity is killing America.

Hardcore, diehard Trump supporters won't be converted by anything mainstream media reports, but (call me Pollyanna) when he consistently goes off the rails, some in that percentage who still approve of his presidency have got to be having 2nd thoughts. We know he can't stay off "the stage," significant numbers have not only left but are actively working to defeat him (the Lincoln Project,) and I'm hoping for more. Inch by inch.

Well, now he has his talking points for the election (summed up in short, "IT'S EVERYONE'S FAULT BUT MINE!"), and his supporters on Conservative talk radio, Fox News and OAN will lap it up and spew it forth to the mindless supporters who will accept it without question. That will make fighting this election very difficult for the Biden campaign.

Thank you for another great article. I’d like to point out though that WHO discourages travel bans in response to epidemics because it leads to less transparency and countries being less likely to provide accurate information. In addition it makes it more difficult to trace the spread as people will be incentivized to keep hidden or lie about where they have been in order to get where they want to go. https://www.statnews.com/2020/01/31/as-far-right-calls-for-china-travel-ban-health-experts-warn-coronavirus-response-would-suffer/

Well better surely to remove him but that ain't about to happen as you say.

Well simple. Remove him as mentally unfit and dangerous, eh GOP? There is a clause in the constitution that legally provides this way to remove mentally deranged Presidents.

It would be great if we could be more like New Zealand. I don’t think the comparison stacks up though.
