#Presidementia Fox News Trump Ramble Today: Bill Hemmer genuinely tries with softball questions to get Trump focused & responsive, without success. Trump responds each time with old tapes about "Chain-Ah," his compulsive hand washing, "Sleepy Joe," & his "instinct" about how...

...to deal with #coronavirus based on his own ideas. Blames Democrats for everything from oil to windmills to killing birds. Hemmer attempts to redirect, but Trump just keeps talking tangentially. He does not understand anything about the pandemic threat. Harris Faulkner asks...

...about small business & shoring up the economy. Trump says, "Harris is one of my favorite people, a fantastic person, but the bill is very much focused on the small business person, and... [drifts off into vague, meandering stuff]...returns to a "Sir" story...

...and repeats that "I gave it two weeks, but we have to open this country up, we need to socially distant ourselves and go to work...but you won't be shaking hands, at least for awhile." Says "You will have suicides by the thousands" if we don't end the restrictions on work....

...Trump wanders into a weird comment about Turkey & the Kurds (!) to show how he makes deals. He is strangely unhinged mentally. "We've had really bad epidemics, and other things, I mean this pandemic, but we've had some epidemics, I'm sure they can be called pandemics...
...but we've never had anything like this before, but... I had to do it, but it's been very bad for our country, and destabilizing for our country, but we had to do it." He even manages to work in "perfect call on Ukraine!" At this point Hemmer, perhaps in frustration, stops.

Harris Faulkner joins in. Asks about logistics. Trump trashes Cuomo's plea for ventilators this morning, says Cuomo rejected a chance to buy ventilators in 2015! This is really bizarre. Trump gets agitated saying Cuomo should have acted 5 yrs ago.

The "town hall" is simply the same as the press briefings. Trump does not speak WITH others, he talks AT others. His cognitive impairment is such that he literally never gives a substantive answer to a question. #TrumpNotFitForOffice #TDS #TrumpDementiaSyndrome #Presidementia
