Donald Trump's only successful business enterprise, The Apprentice, never ended. It just got a new set four years ago, with the same cast. And now it plays on all the networks, all the time. Cancel this shit already, once and for all. https://t.co/2iSIBAjQQH

People who watch Fox and get their news from the conservative press will literally see a different version of Trump’s arrival at the WH than the one we saw, which was his real arrival.

Some Trump advisers maintain they think they have a path, but it heavily relies on, between now and the scheduled second debate, convincing people Trump beat the virus/it's not that bad. That debate is in 10 days https://t.co/ctxBclwoCc

How long? How long until Trump is forced to make a U-turn back to Walter Reed? Perhaps the ICU. The fear and dread of a return to the hospital must be torturing Trump.#GaspingForAir #gasping pic.twitter.com/wC5LffXWur

"Many of these staffers are people of color, and, especially among the butlers, are more than 50 years old—two qualities associated with higher risk for COVID-19."

Anyway, if you want some indication of why you should care about this:
— Chris Stokel-Walker (@stokel) October 6, 2020
– Claudia Conway is single-handedly puncturing the narrative Trump's team are trying to build about his illness
– Her videos are seen an average of 1.6m times each
– 53% of her audience are 18-24

Really impressed by our tax-dodging President leaving his state-of-the-art government medical facility paid for by everyone else so he can go back to his other state-of-the-art government medical facility paid for by everyone else so he can keep working on killing the ACA.

A couple minutes after POTUS entered the WH, he came back outside with several people and a camera crew to apparently reshoot his entrance into the White House. He was not wearing a mask at any point during this.

I think/hope this moment will help Americans understand authoritarian regimes better. Yes all this propaganda is ridiculous – that’s why you have state-run television and internet controls and physical attacks on reporters, because without that it doesn’t work.

Daily reminder that the President is a dangerous sociopath of limited intelligence, and his silent enablers are as guilty of corruption, chaos and catastrophe as he is.

In a poll taken after Trump willfully exposed numerous people, including himself, to the virus, his support among Republicans remains at 90%. The only demo where he receives majority support is whites w/out college. Dems have big leads w/ youth & women. https://t.co/fNU8evwVBo pic.twitter.com/qZR2ZBaAxB
