Bear witness to the atrocity – Digby's Hullabaloo

Today’s Coronavirus Campaign Rally. He seems to be upset and also incoherent.

Trump claims the military was "literally" out of ammunition when he took office, which is one of his laziest and most egregious lies yet pic.twitter.com/qqhRveeHJB

Wow. Trump unloads on a reporter who dared to ask him about Kushner saying on Thursday that the federal ventilator stockpile is "our" stockpile & not the states'.

"When he says 'our,' he's talking about our country … it's such a basic, simple question. You oughta be ashamed." pic.twitter.com/HWWkTWs00e

He goes on spouting gobblydygook that makes no sense whatsoever. It’s stunning:

TRUMP: "We have a stockpile. It is a federal stockpile. We can use it for states, or we can use it for ourselves. We do use it for the federal government. We have a very big federal government." pic.twitter.com/1MdFHpP7Lz

.@jonkarl: Cuomo says NY may be days away from running out of ventilators. Can you assure NY that they will have the ventilators they need?

TRUMP: "No. They should've had more ventilators at the time. They should've had more ventilators." pic.twitter.com/j2I94iiXas

Trump ends the press briefing with some thoughts on voting rights: "I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting. I think people should with ID — voter ID … you should have a picture for voting. It should be called voter ID." pic.twitter.com/0ehNlxao3H

It’s so, so bad. So bad. We would do better to have just plucked some guy from the end of the bar and put him in the White House.
