His presidency went exactly like I predicted.

He'll be back in Office, the impeachment was a waste of time. Like I always mention, "Common sense" does not exist in the world, I dont think it ever really much has. And we are doomed until the end of time..... Especially future generations. The world that has been created by the actions and irresponsibility of previous generations up to 50 years ago, and especially the Gen X and Millennial effect on the future generations contributes heavily to that.

Donald Trump’s 3rd State of the Union Address Tumbles in Broadcast TV Ratings
www.yahoo.com
This third SOTU from the 45th president of the United States of America is currently down 26% in Big-4 broadcast viewers from his second. According to early Nielsen returns, CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox drew a combined 16 million viewers for the 2020 address. That tally is preliminary, however, and should be considered subject to (upward) adjustment.

The supremes will rule for agent orange, forget that document, the constitution!
Here's what the Constitution's 10th Amendment says about Trump's claim to have total authority over states
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...al-authority-claim-10th-amendment/2988013001/
While discussing whether he or the nation's governors have the power to lift restrictions states put in place to fight the spread of the coronavirus, President Donald Trump declared at a news briefing Monday, "When somebody’s president of the United States, the authority is total."
The president's unprecedented claim of total power met with immediate pushback from Democrats and Republicans, many of them explaining the U.S. Constitution explicitly refutes his claim to absolute authority.
"The federal government does not have absolute power," said Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who went on to quote the text of the 10th Amendment in a tweet that went viral.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said changes to the social-distancing orders should be made by the governors. Federal guidelines "will be very influential. But the Constitution & common sense dictates these decisions be made at the state level," he tweeted.

An Ohio man who dismissed the coronavirus pandemic as a “political ploy” and ripped his state’s lockdown as “bulls–t,” has died of COVID-19, according to reports.
John W. McDaniel, 60, passed away last Wednesday in Columbus — exactly a month after reportedly firing off a series of angry messages about the contagion.
“Does anybody have the guts to say this COVID-19 is a political ploy? Asking for a friend. Prove me wrong,” he wrote on March 13, according to the Sun.
Two days later, McDaniel reportedly called “bulls–t” on Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s stay-at-home order closing bars and restaurants.

From what I hear these are not easy deaths. Respiratory system shuts down. You basically suffocate.

‘Most Dangerous’ Conflict of Interest Yet? Trump Owes More Than $200 Million to China’s State-Owned Bank
President Donald Trump and his business partners are on the hook to the Chinese government to the tune of $211 million. Now, critics are starting to wonder whether that substantial financial leverage might be used for political leverage against the White House as well.
Politico dredged up the relationship between Trump, Vornado Realty Trust and their lenders in a Friday article contrasting the president’s occasionally tough-on-China rhetoric with his own monetary ties to the People’s Republic via the state-owned Bank of China.
As a multi-million dollar Manhattan realty deal, the financial situation is perforce complex. The New York Times offered a thorough breakdown of the situation in an August 2016 article titled “Trump’s Empire: A Maze of Debts and Opaque Ties.” The Times explains:
One of these investments involves an office tower at 1290 Avenue of Americas, near Rockefeller Center. In a typically complex deal, loan documents show that four lenders — German American Capital, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank; UBS Real Estate Securities; Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company; and Bank of China — agreed in November 2012 to lend $950 million to the three companies that own the building. Those companies, obscurely named HWA 1290 III LLC, HWA 1290 IV LLC and HWA 1290 V LLC, are owned by three other companies in which Mr. Trump has stakes.

Tensions emerge between Republicans over coronavirus spending and how to rescue the economy
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...conomy/ar-BB13cuVz?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=spartanntp
The economic havoc wreaked by the coronavirus pandemic is opening up a rift in the Republican Party — as the Trump administration and some GOP senators advocate for more aggressive spending while senior party leaders say now may be the time to start scaling back.
President Trump is promoting costly ideas such as infrastructure investment and a payroll tax cut as his top economic official plays down the impact of additional virus spending on the national debt. But at the same time, senior Senate Republicans are increasingly warning about the effect on the nation’s liabilities, even as some of their own members lobby for expensive proposals to rescue an economy still in a free fall.
“As we start thinking down the road in future iterations, my hope would be that it’s more fine tuning what we’ve already done rather than taking on big, aggressive new initiatives that are paid for by additional debt,” Senate Majority Whip John Thune (S.D.), the chamber’s No. 2 Republican, said in an interview. He warned that at some point, “we’re going to run out of capacity at the federal level.”

GOP faces pressure to get tougher with Trump
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...get-tougher-with-trump/ar-BB13mCNG?li=BBnb7Kz
Republicans in the Senate are under growing pressure to take the administration to task for its response to the coronavirus.
GOP senators, with a few exceptions, have been reluctant to criticize the administration, but they are starting to re-evaluate that kid-glove treatment amid public frustration over the lack of virus testing kits and protective equipment and reports of taxpayer dollars going to questionable causes.
Some GOP strategists say it would be smart for Republican senators to use oversight to distance themselves from some of the administration's problems and to burnish their reputations with independents.
Republicans have a 53-47 seat majority, but the Senate is increasingly seen as in play this fall given the health and economic crises the nation is suffering.
"This may be an unprecedented circumstance in terms of public health and the budget, but it's not unprecedented politically for the party in Congress to look at the incumbent president in the election and say 'How can we protect ourselves from the drag of the White House?'" said Vin Weber, a Republican strategist.

Trump v Fox News: why the president is furious at the conservative network
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...e-conservative-network/ar-BB13mr6k?li=BBnb7Kz
Donald Trump’s longtime close relationship with Fox News, like so many other unions in the time of lockdown, is beginning to buckle under pressure, with an increasingly sensitive president furious at the conservative media channel.
Trump has attacked the conservative channel in recent days, accusing the usually uncritical network of being “fed Democratic talking points”, with some observers suggesting his ire may have been caused in part by a string of anti-Trump ads due to run on Fox News this week.
The breakdown between president and news channel was laid bare in a string of tweets from Trump on Sunday evening. Trump has occasionally criticized Fox News in recent months, but this attack went further, as Trump declared he wants “an alternative now”.
“[Fox News] just doesn’t get what’s happening! They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research,” he tweeted.
“They forgot that Fake News @CNN & MSDNC [a term Trump has used for MSNBC] wouldn’t let @FoxNews participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates.”

Trump Officials Are Said to Press Spies to Link Virus and Wuhan Labs
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...k-virus-and-wuhan-labs/ar-BB13ppUW?li=BBnb7Kz
WASHINGTON — Senior Trump administration officials have pushed American spy agencies to hunt for evidence to support an unsubstantiated theory that a government laboratory in Wuhan, China, was the origin of the coronavirus outbreak, according to current and former American officials. The effort comes as President Trump escalates a public campaign to blame China for the pandemic.
Some intelligence analysts are concerned that the pressure from administration officials will distort assessments about the virus and that they could be used as a political weapon in an intensifying battle with China over a disease that has infected more than three million people across the globe.
Most intelligence agencies remain skeptical that conclusive evidence of a link to a lab can be found, and scientists who have studied the genetics of the coronavirus say that the overwhelming probability is that it leapt from animal to human in a nonlaboratory setting, as was the case with H.I.V., Ebola and SARS.
