He may be doing so to a point of hurting the Dems; instead of folding tent and falling in line; he's battling to try to get the party's ideals to slant more left. If this Covid-19 crisis carries into the summer the kinds of policies we will need to recover will make Bernie look quaint.

Imagine where we'd be if the POTUS took it seriously & wasn't calling it a Democrat hoax as recently as 3 weeks ago. Had to give his handlers time to sell off their stocks though.

December at least, but up until 3 weeks ago the Dotard in Chief was still calling it a hoax that was meant to make him look bad. Obviously everything ever is about him in some way, but his own actions have nothing to do with how he's perceived. IT"S NOT FAIR! 😭 So now thousands of Americans will die so the Trumpanzees can "Stick it to the Libs" or whatever-the-fuck they tell themselves. Hope it was worth it!

Hell, it wasn't that long ago, Short or selective memory perhaps. WTS, the point is: Folks that don't like Trump will look for anything to condemn him. They don't have answers mind you, they just know he's doing it wrong. As to cultish apologia: you've got me confused with someone else. Donald Trump is a terrible human being. I just try to look at things through a rational lens.

In a rational discussion with Jamie, I freely mentioned I am conservative and couldn't disagree more with many of Bernie's policies, but I applauded his conviction. I have never claimed to be a centralist. You might not believe this but it is possible to be left or right and still be rational.

I would say that left/right aren't really an accurate way of describing anyone. It really varies too much from one topic to the next. Authoritarian/Libertarian is the popular y axis that I've seen but that doesn't seem terribly accurate either. Anyway, for someone that doesn't support Trump you sure seem determined in defending him.

Especially the staged photos and the ones taken during the Obama administration. No doubt many of his policies are divisive and many will simply dismiss them as racist as opposed to actually considering any merit they may have. FWIW, in my opinion, the most racist thing Trump has done during his Presidency is when he questioned the Indiana Judge because of his heritage.

I would say appointing Steve Bannon as Chief Strategist or the "go back where they came from" remark top the list. It's a long list.
