A Sitting President, Riling the Nation During a Crisis

[Zorro]

By smearing his opponents, championing conspiracy theories and pursuing vendettas, President Tru​mp has reverted to his darkest political tactics in spite of a pandemic hurting millions of Americans.

Even by President Trump’s standards, it was a rampage: He attacked a government whistle-blower who was telling Congress that the coronavirus pandemic had been mismanaged. He criticized the governor of Pennsylvania, who has resisted reopening businesses. He railed against former President Barack Obama, linking him to a conspiracy theory and demanding he answer questions before the Senate about the federal investigation of Michael T. Flynn.

And Mr. Trump lashed out at Joseph R. Biden Jr., his Democratic challenger. In an interview with a sympathetic columnist, Mr. Trump smeared him as a doddering candidate who “doesn’t know he’s alive.” The caustic attack coincided with a barrage of digital ads from Mr. Trump’s campaign mocking Mr. Biden for verbal miscues and implying that he is in mental decline.

That was all on Thursday.

Far from a one-day onslaught, it was a climactic moment in a weeklong lurch by Mr. Tru​mp back to ​​the darkest tactics that defined his rise to political power​. Even those who have grown used to Mr. Trump’s conduct in office may have found themselves newly alarmed by the grim spectacle of a sitting president deliberately stoking the country’s divisions and pursuing personal vendettas in the midst of a crisis that has Americans fearing for their lives and livelihoods.

1. Trump is questioning Joe's mental and physical abilities?

A man who cannot form a cogent thought to save his own life? Who can barely read, much less write a complete sentence? With the attention span of a hyperactive two-year-old? A morbidly obese, doddering slug, with labored breathing, glassy stare and garbled speech? That guy?

Trump has the political instincts of a rabid sewer rat. There is no end to this man's spiritual and moral depravity. He is, quite simply, the worst human being ever conceived.

2. People are dying and he can't show any sympathy for their families

The man is a sociopath.
