This morning on Meet the Press Chuck Todd stated the obvious. Donald Trump has lost interest in performing the critical duties of a president. Duties like doing his utmost to keep Americans safe from a dangerous and deadly pandemic. It seems to me like Trump has shown little interest in containing the pandemic since the beginning of May, after suggesting that disinfectants could be injected, and ending his daily CIVID-19 “briefings’.

So it's a four-way conversation now, but he's not part of it. And so the benefits have run out. He's not contributing. He's not only heckling from the side but he's creating misinformation, retweeting that viral video of the suspicious doctor and her miracle cures, which went around the world, if not, you know, and all over the United States.
