* Alas, thanks to technology and the 24-7 news cycle, we really can’t distance ourselves from Trump.
* “Heckuva job, Brownie” never seemed so nostalgic.
* Another day at the Oval Orifice. Needing good, if inaccurate, news to maintain his “stable genius” self-image, Trump announced that “Google has 1,700 engineers working on this right now. They’ve made tremendous progress.” That was also news to Google, whose Verily subsidiary was in the start-up phase of a website that would let people evaluate their symptoms and direct them to drive-through locations for testing. A pilot program is being planned, but the website hasn’t been launched yet. Other than that, Trump’s calculatingly optimistic update was spot on.
* “The Deep State Department”: How Trump disparagingly referenced America’s diplomats at a recent press briefing.
* “@realDonaldTrump & his administration are doing a great job working to keep Americans healthy & safe.” That was sycophantic Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Parallel Universe.
* “I didn’t say the end would be signaled by trumpets, I said Trump/Pence.”–God.
