I still remember the tears streaming down President Obama's cheeks ...

as he mourned the deaths of 27 innocents in Newtown, Connecticut. (God I miss that man!)

Now contrast that with Trump's demeanor during yesterday's press briefing/campaign rally ... a snarling, combative, and, oh yeah, batshit crazy display of unfitness for office.

Hell, let's even pretend that the lying bastard WAS being sarcastic (he clearly wasn't) in his invitation to Americans to inject toxic disinfectants into their bodies.

Can someone then please explain to me how in the FUCK sarcasm would be an appropriate rhetorical tool to employ during a briefing designed to inform the country about a pandemic which has resulted in the deaths of over 50,000 American citizens?

November can not come soon enough.

My GAWD, we we have lost........
