What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Brian Kilmeade speculates that if Trump easily overcomes his covid infection, "doesn't that also send a message that you could say whatever you want in stats & graphs but I give you an example of somebody who's in that danger age of 74 who is out there, gets it, and beats it?"

Considering there must be rampant chaos and confusion in the White House now must be the optimal time for the Russians or the Chinese to launch a nuclear first strike, yes?

I've always been worried about what happens during Trump's lame duck season, should he lose the election.  He definitely seems to be the type of person capable of taking everyone out with him.  Maybe Trump's illness actually reduces the chance of some kind of a first strike by the Russians (not nuclear, obviously, but I guess there are a lot of "strike while the iron is hot" things they can do that require "now or never" response from the US).

All this talk of who Hope Hicks and Trump have had close contact with and now must quarantine makes me think of this:

I hope Joe stayed a good distance away from him during the debate. Has he been tested?

Everyone in Biden's entourage is being tested today.

They didn't shake hands and they stayed at their podiums which was maybe 2-3 meters apart

But it was also inside with the President constantly talking in his direction 

Here is hoping.

If Trump skates by and Biden dies, you know he's going to brag about it.

I repeat, she was a clerk.  Morons don't get to be clerks.  Only morons would question or attempt to buttress the academic bona fides of a clerk.  Both seem to be happening.

Trump spokesperson tried to inflate her academic record and reporter questioned that. Reporter pestered and spokesperson made it clear they had plumped up the CV.

Where in there was someing questioning her academic credentials? Twitter and online commentary? If they are it is because Trump spokesperson made it seem like her academic credentials were not good enough with out embroidery.

You may have noticed that I included Morons who attempt to buttress the academic bona fides....

The Russians?  When their candidate still has a chance of living and winning?

I recall the story the NY Times ran a while back about spray from a loud talker going much farther than 2m.

In other news, apparently Melania is the Grinch:

Melania Trump complains about work on 'Christmas stuff' in profane secret tape recording
"Who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?" the first lady is heard saying.

Melania Trump complained about working on "Christmas stuff" and suggested migrant children separated from their parents in detention centres were glad of the facilities there, in a series of secret recordings.

The tapes were revealed by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former aide to the first lady who released a book last month entitled Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady.
