    1. Amid all the liberal fear of a coup, it's worth noting that the real hazard of the current moment is almost the reverse: Trump has become so disengaged from governing that basic White House functions aren't being taken care of.

        2. Most of the coup stuff is Trump day dreaming about some way to stay in power. In the meantime, Covid is raging out of control and there's almost no possibility that Trump will sign the needed stimulus.

        3. Trump's presidency has always been more about performance than actually governing. But that's become more extreme after election. Back in March, he could still sign a stimulus check. Now he's gone AWOL.

        4. Trump's disengagement is in keeping with his narcissism, now wounded and lashing out. It means that amid the worse health crisis in a century, the USA won't have any president until Jan. 20, 2021. Biden will step into a vacuum.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-dereliction-duty-biden/ …

        What, we can't multitask? There's a whole shitstorm of bad things happening and issues that aren't only exacerbating the pandemic but also weakening our national security and democratic institutions. NOT an either or, really.
