I have idea how you read that and came to that conclusion. No wonder we have the disagreements that we do.

"The country is beginning to open despite Trump's efforts not because of them"

It means that many of Trump's efforts have not been particularly helpful to getting us quicker and many of his efforts have been a hindrance to the efforts to return to normalcy as soon as possible.

I can't believe I had to explain to an adult what the phrase "something happened despite him" means. Man, this day had been super weird. I am going to log off for the day and get an early start on my drinking.

Its weird because the phrase despite him would reference a persons desire to have it not happen as well. Cant imagine the confusion, cant beleiev o had to explain that to an adult. Have fun with your mojitos.

perhaps “in spite of” would have been better

Kayleigh McEnany had a bad day today.
Only mentioning it because the Trumps actually publicly (on Twitter) celebrate when she has a good one.

And what sane person walking this planet would attempt to make the statement that Trump does NOT want the economy to reopen as fast as possible? Come on.

Apparently, her "day" wasn't much wasn't much better, yesterday:

All she has to do is show up and it's a good day.

Which is why I called it odd.

Wow, those Lincoln Project guys do know how to press Trump's buttons.

I know none of you are paying attention, and that's probably a good thing but....
Our President is bored so he's doing his typical bullying against China on Twitter right now.
I'm wondering if/when China stops ignoring him and fights back.
Crazy thing is there is a good chance the majority of the world will be on China's side.

"Bullying against China" is an odd phrase.

Not as odd as the phrases twocoach uses, of course, and then screeches at others for not understanding. But odd nonetheless.

I mean...I see Wilson -- and knowing who and what he is and what he believes or doesn't), I look at him tweeting that and think...this is the scene in his head:

Perhaps I should have hyphenated between bullying and China.
Forgive me if you disagree but I feel it's probably not the best idea to go on and on and on in the manner in which he is when he is on record giving them praise for the things he is blaming them for - and he has failed on himself.
Of course it's probably a good idea in terms of his rallying and catering to his brainwashed bat shit crazy "flock" but probably not in terms of how the rest of the world feels about him and our country.

Oh.

I mean...oh.

Anybody confirm he's alive today? No tweets. I'm worried about him.

You know the great plague of london was just a made up conspiracy to get Charles II to abdicate his thrown.

Someone needs to smack him in his head. HARD.

The Ford plant he visited on Thursday requires masks for all visitors, at all times, in all locations.
When asked why he didn't wear a mask - "I didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it."

The following statements are both true.

Trump should wear a mask for things like this.

The media makes too big of a deal about Trump not wearing a mask.
