Americans wonder when Donald Trump will quit swinging from the White House rafters. The mega-doses of steroids the doctors are giving him, usually for a five-day treatment plan, seem to have taken an irrational, emotion-driven president and sent him over the moon. His reaction is “bigly.”
No one is telling the people when Trump had his first negative coronavirus test or his first positive test after he left the Walter Reed Military Medical Center. But keep in mind, the president can convince his White House physicians to let him grow an inch, moving from 6’2″ to 6’3.” What a remarkable growth spurt for a man in his mid-70s.
Needless to say, it is impossible to believe what the man who sits occasionally in the Oval Office says. Thursday morning, following the vice presidential debate Wednesday night, Trump had an interview on Fox Business with host Maria Bartiromo. He tried his best to climb upon that rocket headed up toward what he probably thinks is a place made up of Swiss cheese.
Let us take a look at how that went in five easy pieces. First off, he claimed that his Attorney General Bill Barr’s success depended upon his ability to arrest President Barack Obama and Trump’s presidential rival Joe Biden:
‘Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes — the greatest political crime in history of our country — then we’ll get little satisfaction. And that includes Obama and that includes Biden.’
A journalist for Vox Aaron Rupar tweeted:
‘”I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate” — Trump, on with Maria Bartiromo, begins his first post-coronavirus interview by saying he’s pulling out of the second debate. (He sounds a little hoarse.)’

We know that Trump has never liked strong women, particularly strong Black women. Senator Kamala Harris is both. He started calling her names he learned in fifth-grade, “monster” and “communist:”
‘She’s going to be, in my opinion, within a month… look, I sat next to Joe and I looked at Joe, and Joe’s not lasting two months as president. She’s a communist! She’s not a socialist, she’s well beyond a socialist!’
Further into the interview, he called Harris “this monster” as the guy who “live-tweets Fox & Friends” Bobby Lewis tweeted from his personal account:
‘On Fox Business, Trump repeatedly calls Kamala Harris “a communist” who would usurp Biden’s presidency within a month.’

The president has not had any faith in the polls, and 2016 laid truth to that idea. The conservative Rasmussen Poll showed him down a full 12 percentage points. He said he gets that he is winning due to boaters, that’s right, boaters:
‘I don’t believe them,” Trump replied. “Because we’ve never had this much support! They have a boat thing, they have 5,000 boats, they have thousands of trucks all over the country! I don’t believe the polls!’
“I don’t understand it. I don’t believe ’em … they have a boat thing, they have 5,000 boats, they have thousands of trucks all over the country. I don’t believe the polls” — Trump on polls showing him trailing Biden by a dozen or more points pic.twitter.com/Y072VS7VKq

Next, POTUS told Bartiromo that there was no argument that he has “done more for Black Americans than anyone since Abraham Lincoln.” Historians rolled their eyes. Presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson were deeply involved in the civil rights movement. The sitting president said:
‘Nobody’s ever done what I’ve done for the Black community other than Abraham Lincoln!. They don’t even challenge me on that.’
Lewis tweeted about Trump’s lies:
‘Trump’s dumb fucking ass tells one of the most obvious lies of his life: That “people don’t even challenge” him on his claim that he’s the greatest president for The Blacks since Abraham Lincoln.’

Then Trump went on to attack his 2016 presidential opponent, Secretary Hillary Clinton. He yelled:
‘Why isn’t Hillary Clinton being indicted for terminating 33,000 emails? Everybody else I know gets indicted… she destroyed 33,000 emails! Forget about the fact that they were classified, maybe Mike Pompeo finally finds them!
‘I don’t understand it. I don’t believe ’em … they have a boat thing, they have 5,000 boats, they have thousands of trucks all over the country. I don’t believe the polls:’
Bartiromo tried to calm the stormy waters called “Trump,” but he shouted at her, which made people wonder about his health — physical and mental:
‘Maria Bartiromo tries to praise Trump but Trump shouts her down with 2016-era complaints about Hillary Clinton’
