Trump calls for purge of opposition
So apparently having a sick authoritarian hooped up on meds as president is bad:
President Trump berated his own cabinet officers on Thursday for not prosecuting or implicating his political enemies, lashing out even as he announced that he planned to return to the campaign trail on Saturday just nine days after he tested positive for the coronavirus.
In his first extended public comments since learning he had the virus last week, Mr. Trump went on the offensive not only against his challenger, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., but the Democratic running mate, Senator Kamala D. Harris, whom he called “a monster” and a “communist.” He balked at participating in the debate next Thursday with Mr. Biden if held remotely as the organizers decided to do out of health concerns.
But Mr. Trump secured a statement from the White House physician clearing him to return to public engagement on Saturday and then promptly said he would hold a campaign rally in Florida, two days earlier than the doctor had originally said was needed to determine whether he was truly out of danger. The president again dismissed the virus, saying, “when you catch it, you get better,” ignoring the more than 212,000 who have died from it in the United States.
Even if he loses this is going to be a brutal 3 months.
