You know, if Obama was still president, Republicans would probably be even more fervent in not wearing masks as a dumb political statement. Imagine how Republicans would've reacted if Obama said: "We should all be wearing masks to protect each other" - we'd get responses like: "Obama is literally trying to institute sharia law!! He's trying to take away our freedoms!!"

If Obama were still president the American death toll would probably be about 10% of what it is under Trump. His administration did a fantastic job controlling Ebola. There would still be weird outliers refusing to take basic measures but Obama wouldn’t be throwing fuel on the fire. Spreading the virus wouldn’t be a normalized patriotic rite of passage under anyone but Trump.

Yea, the anti mask sentiment during a pandemic is probably the dumbest culture war this country ever engaged in.

Watching that recent Chris Wallace interview with Trump was surreal even though I should be used to it. Just the complete refusal to engage with reality is difficult to imagine in any other president.

Like another president would try to explain away inconvenient yet irrefutable facts where as Trump just denies them.

Not only did he refuse to engage with reality, he refused to accept the softball pitches from Fox ****ing News until even Chris ****ing Wallace was like, "Hey, you know what? **** you."

Yeah, but did you see how fast Trump could tell a lion from an elephant on the cognitive test?

Nobody recognizes elephants faster or better than Donald Trump, nobody.

My favorite quotes are probably:

"We won two world wars. Two beautiful world wars..."

"Joe [Biden] doesn't even know he's alive..."

He is a quotable machine for sure. I liked when he talked about Joe Biden crying for his mommy to take him home.

I'm telling you jwb, if they actually debate, the entertainment value will be through the roof. It would make up entirely for the possibility of no NFL season.

I wouldn’t be able to remember the numbers and especially not in reverse.

Meh... There's no way it's going to be better than the 2016 Republican primary debates. I still find Trump entertaining from time to time but to me his schtick got old a while ago.

He really peaked in 16. "I like the ones who don't get caught." That was peak Trump.
