re: #132 Sir John Barron

What strikes me about the presidentā€™s supposedly ā€œnew toneā€ isā€¦.that it still doesnā€™t seem particularly urgent. Rather he still sounds pretty disinterested in the whole thing. No real sense of urgency. Heā€™s mouthing the words about ā€œsocial distancingā€ heā€™s been told to say, but you can tell his heart really isnā€™t in it. He thought he was going to skate through his WH years without a crisis, amusing himself by shitposting on Twitter and having his rubes eat up every word.

And his rubes, especially at Fox News and on talk radio, donā€™t know how to respond either. In the span of a week theyā€™ve leap frogged from This is No Crisis to Look How Great MAGA POTUS is Dealing With This Crisis to Well None of This is Really The Federal Governmentā€™s Responsibility, all while other misanthropes on the Right are still leading with the LIBERAL MEDIA HOAX GO SHOPPING AND EATING OUT TURN THE MACHINES BACK ON.

It was more fun for him when he could enrich himself by the Presidency and now heā€™s going down in history as American Nero. Tweeting while Washington burns.
