Get this pariah out of the White House


He's looking a bit haggard.  Not sleeping well?  Fever?  Worried about the stock market and November?
While Cuomo, Whitmer and other governors have been among the most vocal critics of the federal coronavirus response, they have been far from alone. The Trump administration has come under a steady drumbeat of scrutiny over its inability to quickly ramp up coronavirus testing capabilities as well as its weekslong rhetorical campaign to downplay the virus' threat to Americans. Only recently has the president reversed course in his own public utterances to warn the public about the severity of the pandemic's threat.

[...]

The president's criticism of Whitmer on Tuesday appeared to be triggered by her appearance on MSNBC, where she said her state is working to flatten the curve by closing restaurants and bars after a federal government response that did not take the outbreak “seriously early enough.” She also outlined her plan to expand unemployment benefits as workers lose jobs and are forced to stay home amid the pandemic.
How dare she.
"Cuomo wants ‘all states to be treated the same.’ But all states aren’t the same. Some are being hit hard by the Chinese Virus, some are being hit practically not at all," Trump tweeted, referring to the novel coronavirus by a controversial name that some in his administration have adopted. "New York is a very big ‘hotspot’, West Virginia has, thus far, zero cases. Andrew, keep politics out of it.”

  Politico
Only Dear Leader is allowed to make politics a big factor.

And still calling it "the Chinese virus." Pathetic.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
