Donald Trump

Retail sales at a record? Is he claiming credit for sales with shops open now as against shops closed last month?

Yep, that’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s boasting about an unprecedented 17.7% growth from April to May without mentioning the even bigger drop of 22% from Feb to April.

(the -14.7 in the graphic looks like it’s just March to April but that follows a further 8% from Feb)

We're talking about a guy who literally bragged about boosting the DOWJONES when it bounced back 50% from it's biggest fall in history.

It’s sad that there are idiots that lap all this shit up. A lot of them.

President Chump has admitted he has tried a mask, a black mask, and he liked the way he looked - like the Lone Ranger

This old twat should be in a home

Dakota the next place for trump rally with no social distancing or masks required

Red covid all over the American map,just what the fuck,he has literally said I can't be arsed anymore

Brought up all the global supplies of remdesier (sp) hope we can make it ourselves or a generic version

I keep having a look into the rabbit hole that is GoP social media.

Apparently the figures are all false and made up to try and stop Trump winning in November.

Was there a turning point in the odds that we can point to or is it just the culmination of COVID, the economy melting down and George Floyd?

It was when I backed Biden at 8/1 after the first two primaries.

Even allowing for expectation bias I still find a lot of the stuff in GOP social media feeds utterly f*cking batsh*t crazy.

Seriously, some of the stuff on there you struggle to understand how the people that believe that sh*t function as human beings, and in some cases actually have respectable jobs and careers (doctors/teachers/lawyers).

It just baffles me.

What you have to remember is that there are genuinely millions of people who believe the earth is flat and that the generally held belief that is globe shaped is a massive conspiracy (still not sure by who and to what gain). So never underestimate how fucking stupid some people are and how willing they are to believe any conspiracy they hear.

Also, you have to remember that in the US, it's not that hard to become a lawyer/doctor/teacher, compared to a country of literate people, so you will get a lot of cranks. Being top of your class isn't hard when the rest of the class are busy licking windows

Its a perfect storm for them, they built the machinery to propagate lies and conspiracy theories designed to support Trump and cover his failings. And then a virus comes along and starts killing Americans and the machinery just does what it does and you have all these Trump fans dismissing the Virus and treating it like a partisan political issue. They can't turn the machine of so Trump can't go against it, he is stuck between his own incompetent administration and his social media BS machine that can only work one way.
