re: #132 Sir John Barron
What strikes me about the presidentās supposedly ānew toneā isā¦.that it still doesnāt seem particularly urgent. Rather he still sounds pretty disinterested in the whole thing. No real sense of urgency. Heās mouthing the words about āsocial distancingā heās been told to say, but you can tell his heart really isnāt 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, donāt know how to respond either. In the span of a week theyāve 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 Governmentās 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 heās going down in history as American Nero. Tweeting while Washington burns.
