You watch these daily so-called press briefings for 1 of 2 reasons. 1.) He truly is must see tv. He’s the worst possible president who is a narcissistic psychopath and he’s the leader of the country. If he was the manager at Wendy's, you’d never go back to that Wendy's. If he--
was the president of your high school, you’d throw away your diploma and home school your kids. He’s a train wreck you just can’t stop watching. It’s like watching Boyz In Tha Hood. You KNOW Ricky’s gonna get shot but you watch every time, just hoping that he doesn’t stop to
scratch that damn lotto ticket. You know he’s going to get up there and lie and contradict scientists and health experts. You know he’s not going to take any responsibility for dropping the ball on the response to this. You know he’s going to shift blame, disrespect people,...
talk about his ratings and peddle medicine and cures that haven’t been proven and worse, put you at more risk. ‘Cause he “tells it like it is” and I guess that’s cool but he literally will lie or contradict himself in between sentences so you never even know what “it” is and how
he’s telling it. But it matters not b/c deep down inside, you somehow still hope he does or says the right, mature, presidential thing. So you watch to see if it’s actually going to happen. If, somehow, Cain just packed that car up 1 hr earlier and left to go to Atl with Ronnie.
But nope. That car comes around the corner and the end of Menace II Society ends the same way. What's up now, potna?" Every time. And then you yell “FUCK!” I can’t believe this shit!! Get mad. Tweet. Drink. Rinse repeat.
OR
2.) You actually think he’s a good president/leader &
it doesn’t matter what he does because at this point you’re on the train and there is literally not a single thing he could ever do to get you to see with clear eyes. You are on that titanic and coooooooooool with it. You’ll take whatever medicine he mispronounces that might--
actually f*cking kill you, you’ll lick an escalator handrail if he said it helps the economy, go to church & think a blonde hair Jesus is invisibly karate kicking the virus away from your face as you pass the collection plate because that’s how you think Jesus works.
You’ll call Muslim people terrorists while white Christians shoot up Black churches, Mexican people lazy/illegal as you run to your grocery stores & horde produce from Mexican farms, you’ll call liberals or democrats socialists or whatever goofy-ass nickname he told you to say,
as you collect your mail and drive on paved roads and rush to line your pockets with a new small business loan and teach your kids that name calling and bullying is bad. And you’ll do all of this because you’re all- in. On a shitty hand but too prideful to admit it or--
isolated enough where you think his actions don’t affect you. But now your ass can’t leave the house & your private business isn’t doing so hot & those stocks are f***ng you up & people around you are literally dying, it’s starting to get a little warm. But still, you stay..
Rock solid and watch these briefings, hoping he’ll do or say the right thing. But you too, will be disappointed.

Tune in tomorrow if you want. But just know, The Red Wedding, all the Starks die. You’ll watch anyway...
