"As soon as I said you should have a new election ... all of a sudden they announced a winner ... did they do something for the opponent?" -- Trump thinks the fact that Carolyn Maloney was declared the winner of her Democratic primary is a conspiracy against him pic.twitter.com/8rP5I08CUx— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 5, 2020
If it's on the internet, it must be true.
Maloney won by 3000-plus votes.— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) August 5, 2020
(Yes, I recognize the irony.)
And if Trump is not the nexus of the universe and the unmoved mover of all American politics and elections, who is, I ask you?
"It's been such a successful endeavor" -- Arizona had over 1,000 new coronavirus cases yesterday, more than many large countries, yet Trump is holding it up as a shining example of a successful coronavirus response pic.twitter.com/pCgZdw5A4M— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 5, 2020
I'm sure he has a chart in bright primary colors.

No, they’re not.
Saying it does not make it so. Has no one taught him this yet?
"Somebody left some terrible explosive-type devices and things around, perhaps. Perhaps it was that. Perhaps it was an attack" -- Trump is just out here conjecturing about the Beirut explosion. Absurdly irresponsible. pic.twitter.com/lLBKD9q89O— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 5, 2020
Asked why Trump speculated the Beirut blast was possibly an attack or bomb given the defense secretary said most think it’s an accident, Meadows says, “From Secretary Esper’s standpoint, he doesn’t know."

Meanwhile, another White House official speaks:
“Well, here’s the numbers … if we’re talking about children that are 18 years of age and younger, and we look at so many deaths that have happened, there is 54 deaths between 18 years of age and younger,” said Meadows. “As a parent, I care about my kids, as your viewers right now, they’re thinking about their kids or their nieces or nephews or grandchildren. We do need to make sure that they’re protected. And, yet, at the same time, we’re taking every step that we can to do that and make sure that we open our schools responsibly and safely.”
54 deaths, not even a haircut, right? And if they just bring that disease home and orphan themselves? Well, hey, they aren't dead, right?
Ghouls; these people are ghouls.
That 25th Amendment really might as well not be there.
