Benedict Donald told the White House press corps today that the 1918 flu epidemic happened in 1917, and that it helped end the Second World War, which ended in 1945.
But it's Joe Biden who has the cognitive decline?
Trump is looking and sounding awfully wobbly these days. Watch the video of security escorting him from the Briefing Room when Monday's shooting outside the White House took place. He's like your doddering uncle. And since every accusation this Administration makes is a confession, it's clear: All the stuff they've been hurling at Biden means that it's Trump whose synapses are no longer firing.
His political position continues to be precarious, which is why they're desperately trying to sabotage the Post Office, among other ploys. The "right track-wrong track" polling question sits at 72 percent wrong, 22 percent right. (Who are those deluded 22 percent?) The generic Congressional ballot is Democrats plus-six. And the University of Wisconsin has released three new battleground state polls: Biden is up 49 to 43 in the Badger State, 47 to 43 in Michigan and 50 to 41 in Pennsylvania. And that was before college football announced that, thanks to COVID-19, it might not have a season.
It's hard to imagine what would make voters in those states madder than having to lose the Big Ten. The impact on school revenues will be huge, but local businesses in the college towns and the TV networks will suffer bigly, too. Not to mention the beer industry. And it will be all Trump's fault for letting the coronavirus run wild.
Yes, America is very cranky, and if schools open and then shut down, and if there's no Big Ten football, and maybe not even an NFL, we'll get crankier. Voters who are annoyed tend to take it out on the guy in charge. You know, the one who thinks the 1917 flu epidemic ended World War II. We cats HISS.
