It's difficult to even keep up with, let alone believe all the things this Republican Party President is saying and doing in these his last days in that office.
First today, this morning, there was this. He's still pushing this nonsense, this lie, this untruth.
In odd video, Trump falsely suggests he received a Nobel prize
Added to that, check out just a bit of the article:
The fact that Donald Trump is still releasing campaign-style ads is itself bizarre. Election Day was eight weeks ago; the Republican incumbent lost badly; and if these commercials are intended to create a groundswell of support for the outgoing president, he's likely to be disappointed.But while the effort is odd, the details of the latest campaign-style ad are considerably more ridiculous. In the new, minute-long video that Trump posted online late yesterday, the first on-screen text reads, "Trump stands for America," which is a strange message for a president who's spent months attacking his own country's democracy. It's followed by, "Trump stands for American jobs," which is also weird given his poor record on job creation.
The video goes on from there, making other curious boasts. "Trump stands for American justice" is belied by his corrupt pardon abuses, while "Trump stands for military might" is an interesting choice given his recent veto of funding for his own country's military. It culminates in a five-word message: "Trump: He's what's for America," which is a rhetorical construction so clumsy, I wonder if the president's communications team was drunk when they wrote this.
Just loony. Fortunately, either his insanity or his stupidity, whichever it is that moment, helps his perceived enemies, hurts him and hurts what is supposed to be his own political party.
WSJ editorial board: Trump's push for $2,000 checks will hand Democrats the Senate
On the $2000 COVID assistance for Americans today, first this happened, no surprise.
McConnell blocks quick vote on $2,000 stimulus checks
The wonderful thing about the $2000 stimulus check in COVID assistance is that it's tearing down this President's own political party.
Senate GOP in Stimulus Bind With Trump Ramping Up Pressure
The two GOP Senators in the Georgia runoff, Perdue and Loeffler have had to come out for it, too.
The irony of this next issue and headline just stunned me.
Trump lashes out at ‘weak and tired’ Republican congressional leadership
Donald Trump. President Donald J Trump. Saying someone else doesn't lead. You can't get any more ironic, or hypocritical, than that.
Then, what he is doing is attacking members of his own political party, instead, God love him.
Trump targets congressional Republicans on multiple fronts
Honestly, this President and his unpredictability and lashing out is not just unprecedented but...what? Insane? Certainly unpredictable.
Speaking of no leadership...
Nashville mayor says Trump hasn't called since bombing
Nashville, Tenn., Mayor John Cooper (D) on Monday said that he has not spoken directly to President Trump since the intentional detonation of an RV in the city’s downtown on Christmas.
“No, I haven’t,” Cooper told CNN when asked if he had heard from the president since the bombing.
Keeping in mind he could be leading us all through this worst, most deadly, killing international pandemic in the last more than 100 years.

Not done there...
Fauci: You 'have to assume' pandemic is going to get worse
But no.
Instead of leadership, this is where his attention has been and where his insanity hurts us, hurts the nation.
Trump's desire for 'wild' protest sparks fear among US officials
It was nine days ago when Donald Trump announced via Twitter that there would be a "wild" protest in the nation's capital on Jan. 6, the day Congress will formally certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The Republican has referenced the gathering while insisting he won the election he lost, and Trump has returned to the subject several times since, including in a weekend tweet in which the outgoing president declared, "Never give up. See everyone in D.C. on January 6th."
More on the possibility of violence issue.
Ex-Pence aide turned Trump critic 'very concerned' about Jan. 6 violence
Fortunately, this went in our favor the last few days. Ultra-conservative, Right Wing, Republican Party supporting Rupert Miurdoch's own New York Post blasted this President Trump for denying our election with a big front page story.
Murdoch’s New York Post Blasts President’s Fraud Claims
A snippet of the original Post article:
Mr. President, it’s time to end this dark charade.
We’re one week away from an enormously important moment for the next four years of our country.
Meanwhile, Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen came out with this.
Michael Cohen says the associates Trump pardoned may now be forced to testify against him because they can no longer invoke the Fifth Amendment
President Donald Trump's former lawyer and self-described fixer, Michael Cohen, said the president's pardons and sentence commutations for close associates such as Michael Flynn and Roger Stone could be a big mistake. Cohen told MSNBC on Monday that by pardoning these allies, Trump could be unintentionally giving prosecutors the power to force these close associates to testify against him. Cohen suggested that the people Trump pardoned would no longer be able to invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and therefore must comply with investigations into Trump. Trump faces multiple lawsuits and criminal investigations when he leaves the White House.
It might well help to explain the pressure on Trump and his seeming unraveling.
And yes, this next article is the Washington Post and they are tough on this President but it shows he is getting lots and lots of really bad press.
Trump, in his final days, goes full King Lear
Then there's this from Salon.
The final, desperate days of our psychopath in chief: How bad will it get?
It's gotten so bad now, at the end of this presidential administration, it's even falling in on his Vice President Pence.
Gohmert, Other Republicans Sue VP Pence, Demanding He Throw Out Non-Trump Votes
I can't imagine anyone other than Mike Pence has been more loyal to Republicans but they attack him for not supporting Trump in his fraudulent effort to overturn our votes and election. Incredible.
But wait, there's more. There's much, much more.Trump biographer says the humiliation of Mike Pence is ‘reaching a crescendo’
So far in this administration, I think Vice President Mike Pence did just what he wanted to do. That is, he laid low, quiet, rather out of sight and so, hopefully on his part, I believe, out of mind. No more. At the end and seemingly clear unraveling of this President and his administration, even he is finally getting some negative hits from all of this. It's no way a complete surprise bad as this administration is failing and flailing but it's certainly not the way he VP Pence, planned this, that's for sure.
So stay tuned, America, Americans. There's no telling where we're headed or what this President Trump will say or do, as we've seen. Hoping the worst isn't still ahead of us.
The good news? We're down to only 3 weeks left in this nightmare administration as of tomorrow.
Hallelujah.
