He doesn't understand that he's dealing with human beings, not partisan politics.In his Fox News town hall this afternoon President Trump said he needs good treatment or favors in return if states want the federal governments assistance as hospitals are overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. Read the words and then watch them.
“Usually we’ll have 50 governors that will call it the same time. I think we are doing very well. But it’s a two-way street. They have to treat us well, also. They can’t say, “Oh, gee, we should get this, we should get that.” We’re doing a great job. Like in New York where we’re building, as I said, four hospitals, four medical centers. We’re literally building hospitals and medical centers. And then I hear that there’s a problem with ventilators."

I suppose this is what is meant by referring to the Grifter-in-Chief as being "transactional." He views federal aid to states as an opportunity to get something back. Like not being criticized for his abysmal performance in preparing the nation for the outbreak he was warned about many weeks ago.
He tried to deny there was going to be a problem by making light of it. He claimed things were under control. Due to the fact that the virus didn't impact us as early as it did other countries he pretended things were going well here. Then the fantasy world he created blew up in his orange face.
Cases multiplied, the market tanked, shortages of materials to slow the virus were exposed, as was our lack of preparation. Now, far too early according to medical experts, Crooked Donald wants people to go back to work soon. He understands his incompetence combined with a faltering economy (the debt fueled economy being the only thing he had going for him besides bigotry) jeopardizes his re-election. So damn the torpedoes, surely unnecessarily killing thousands more human beings to keep him in the Oval Office is worth it. Right granny?
He is devoid of empathy, and he doesn't possess the intellect to just think things through.
They need to keep him locked away somewhere. He is a menace, and his sycophants don't care.
He wouldn't be nearly as dangerous if not for his enablers. Not just the sycophants in the admin and right wing media but most importantly............The Following...........Trump's cultists.
Forums are for venting ranging from personal beliefs to sewing views that will illicit responses even if personally one does not believe those views. The truth is we all must not bring the worse that can come here to reality. There has to be enough good in people to bring sway over those who have to much bad in them. So if you see a person passed out on the street, do you help that person or do you let him lay in his distress? Humanity is on trial here also.
Sorry. I think that ship sailed the day Trump was elected. Because that's what Trump does, especially to the sycophants who worship him. Bring out the absolute worst in them. Again, this guy has no interest in being President of the United States. That's why he's always in campaign mode and that's why he's being completely exposed during this crisis. The rest of us will do (and are doing) whatever is required to help neighbors, friends, and relatives to make sure they make it through this in one piece. Give a buck when you see that annoying box pop up as you're checking out at the supermarket. Give a pint of blood (if you can), hell, if you have some N95 masks hanging around that haven't been used, drop them off at your local hospital. Check in on people that might need help or can't get out of the house. Stay in touch via electronic communication. I will say one thing for our infrastructure, 50 years of build up (for most of the country) and the Internet handled the increased pressure like a champ.

Yes! I was expecting all kinds of trouble. With everyone Zooming and so forth, I never expected we'd get online without a crash. Kudos to them!
