6 IV 2020: Trump’s public psychoanalysis

So I see that Trump had another meltdown at his daily corona virus briefing.

1) Why do the media continue to report on these so-called briefings. If Trump needs a psychiastrist (and he does), he should get one and not do his free-associating and re-living boyhood traumas before the American people. What set him off? Oh, it was the truth again.

2) Dr. Christi Grimm is the Assistant Inspector General for HHS, and Trump, we recall, has had trouble with inspectors general. She deserves the nation’s gratitude for her honest report. That it reflected badly on the Trump regime is only to be expected as should we also expect that Trump would blow his top and abuse his office by playing the bully and unchallenged liar. His ass was not wholly without kisses, however, because the asst secy of HHS, an Admiral Brett Giroir, also read the report as a criticism of HHS and lost his temper. When you screw up really badly it’s only natural to regard any statement as a criticism.

3) Someone has to but a bridle or a face mask on Trump. I don’t care who Trump is or what he is, the nation should not tolerate his contemptible behavior. The Republican senators are, of course, complicit perjurers, and there will be no help from them. Won’t some credible figure from the right speak out against this national disgrace?
