This F*cking Shit AgainTrump Haunts His Team With Diversions to Demon Sperm and Obsessions With Faucihttps://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-haunts-his-team-with-diversions-to-demon-sperm-and-obsessions-with-fauci
Itd been three months since Donald Trump had given his staff a break. For weeks, some of his top advisers had repeatedly warned him that his madcap performances at the White Houses coronavirus press briefings were tanking his poll numbers and helping Joe Biden, until finally the president decided to stop doing them. Senior administration officials and task-force members were elatedtheir infamously stubborn boss had actually taken their advice.
But in the months following the cessation of those pressers, Trumps numbersnationally and in critical swing stateshave kept falling. And according to two sources whod spoken to the president this month, he began insisting that it was time to start going with his gut, again.
The president restarted the press briefings last week, after having asserted to his aides that the resulting three months of political foundering had vindicated his instincts to control the agenda and to flood the media as much as possible. His return to the lectern, he predicted, would help his poll numbers.
But while the early results suggested that maybe Trump could keep a lideven if just for a few secondson his self-destructive impulses, increasingly, the worst fears of the presidents staff are being realized.

Since their efforts don't work maybe they should just stop and let the man tear himself to shreds.
