      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/ …

          Pelosi and McConnell have ensured he will never have to bother with signing a stimulus or not

          Wonder at what numbers the COVID cases per day will be in the US at that point ? 300k ? 500k ? WIth Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up this is likely going to get so much worse

          This has been my fear from the beginning. That he would hole himself up in the white house, raging and vengeful and petulant, and would do absolutely nothing as the worst phase of the virus claims thousands and thousands of lives.

          And that he would break shit as he leaves. Which he is absolutely doing. (And I still think he is going to get sticky fingered with the white house art. Dude has debts.)

          Empirical evidence that the government that governs least does not, in fact, govern best?

          He's focusing on a TV show to badger Biden for the next 4 years.

          We’ve been on our own since we learned of the Coronavirus pandemic. We have been riding a trump driven train. He’s no longer even driving. We are on a runaway train. It’s up to us. Isolate, mask up. Too many people have let down their guard.pic.twitter.com/i08qvjEKIC
