21% of the world's deaths from #COVID19 have occurred in the world's richest, most technologically advanced country, home to just 4% of the world's population.

The whole world sees this as a total, absolute, incontrovertible failure.

Trump wants you to think it's a success.
#COVID19 is a deadly, contagious airborne disease, but it's transmission is largely preventable using face masks & physical distancing, cheap solutions that have enabled even the poorest countries in the world to #StopTheSpread.

But are still too complicated for Trump to grasp.
Instead of focusing on bring college football back, Trump should start treating #COVID19 like the World Cup.

Team USA has been put in a Group with Japan (12 deaths per 1M pop.), Cameroon (16 deaths/M pop.) and Germany (113 deaths/M pop.).

We got eliminated. (611 deaths/M pop.).

If you think Trump's sounding extra fascist today, you weren't paying attention to the rest of September.

"Trump's Hitlerian Month" by @TimothyDSnyder: snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-hitle…

"In September, in his most important remarks about international and domestic politics, Trump invoked blatantly antisemitic stereotypes." @TimothyDSnyder. Image
@TimothyDSnyder "In September, Trump told Americans that, were he to lose the elections, 'Jewish people would have a lot to do with the loss.'  Jews who did not vote for him would be, in his words, 'voting for the enemy.'" @TimothyDSnyder Image

🧵 How vulnerable is Speaker Mike Johnson, the Putin-friendly Christian nationalist, to Russian kompromat?

unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/man-an…
It was only after Mike Johnson was elevated to the role of Speaker of the House—second in line to the Presidency—that any real vetting began.

First up, journalists dug up his history of bizarre and troubling ideas. (2/x) Image
Then it emerged that House Speaker Mike Johnson—despite owing hundreds of thousands of dollars between a mortgage, personal loan, and home equity line of credit—didn't have a single bank account. WTF? (3/x)newrepublic.com/post/176550/wh…

Based on family history, advanced age & known lifestyle factors, Trump's risk of dementia or Alzheimer's is at least 5-10X higher than an average person's. Experts see signs of Mild Cognitive Impairment—putting him on a fast track to full-blown dementia.

"If the debate was a cognitive test, the former president failed," writes Richard A. Friedman, professor of clinical psychiatry and the director of the psychopharmacology clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College. via @TheAtlantictheatlantic.com/health/archive…
@TheAtlantic After the first debate, I interviewed @DutytoInform about the difference between Biden and Trump when it comes to cognition.

TLDR: Biden's executive functioning (despite other issues) speaks to normal aging. Trump shows clear signs of cognitive decline. unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/bidens…

🧵In the 2024 election, Trump is facing two very different futures: In one, he's a Supreme-Court-anointed King, beyond the reach of the law. In the other, he's a convicted felon & adjudicated rapist, facing additional trials for inexcusable crimes for which he knows he is guilty. Image
In August 2020, Vince Greenwood, Ph.D. (@DutytoInform), detailed exactly why Trump met the clinical diagnosis of Psychopathic Personality Disorder (PPD).

This interview soon became the most read and most shared article in my newsletter's history. unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/diagno…
@DutytoInform Understanding this diagnosis is important. And it's no joke.

As @DutytoInform explains now: "The psychopath is adept at sizing up a situation in terms of how it might benefit or hurt him. Trump may be stupid in many ways, but he is not a stupid predator."

#NeverForget that time Trump accidentally told the truth about the US withdrawal from Afghanistan: “I started the process, all the troops are coming back home. They couldn’t stop the process!"
#TraitorTrump capitulated to the Taliban and booby-trapped the US withdrawal from Afghanistan: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Image
The #TrumpTragedy in Afghanistan was made possible by @mikepompeo's genuflection before the leaders of the Taliban:

By threatening to withhold aid, Pompeo pressured the Afghan government to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners, including terrorists who subsequently attacked us. Image
