Trump Has Only Had One Job In His Entire Life: Celebrity. Will It Work For Him in November?
 With one simple understanding, everything about Trump's life and presidency comes into focus. Why would it be that Trump refuses to do his job, including reading intelligence reports? Why would Trump revel in lies and outrageous statements? Why would he retweet a game show hosts conspiracy theories about the coronavirus while trashing his own scientists? Why is Trump, every day, waking up and asking how he can capture the news cycle regardless of its impact on public health or democracy? The common line through all this is that Donald Trump thinks that his job is to be a celebrity. That has been his job since the 1970s, and it's all he does. He hires some people to do real-estate deals, but his job is to be the celebrity. He goes on TV as a celebrity businessman. And now, as president, he again thinks that his main job is to be a celebrity. This is really the only job he knows how to do. Get in the press, get your name on the top of the newspaper every single day, say and do outrageous things to get other people to talk about you. Celebrity. It's the survival strategy employed by lousy students who have become the class clown and the school's worst bully. Trump just never outgrew it. Read more here. -Thom |

Tweet: " This ongoing thread is dedicated to the 1000s KILLED by #COVID between the ages of 18 and 45 due to the LIES of 45 @realDonaldTrump" by Cleavon Gilman, MD. Quote: " If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State" - Joseph Goebbels.
Quote: " That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants, and at all times amenable to them" - George Mason.
