What do you think the Trump kids will do the moment their old man dies?

Don Jnr and Ivanka have a child which they pass off as Jared's. Chelsea finds out but falls out of a Macy's window resulting in acute retrograde amnesia. Tiffany finds out her dad is actually Michael Bolton and flees beyond The Wall. Barron suspiciously hangs a crossbow up on his living room wall and begins a life of drunken debauchery. Eric eats some marbles.
 
Trump Tweets

Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is complaining, for publicity purposes only, that I should be asking for more money than $2.5 Billion to prepare for Coronavirus. If I asked for more he would say it is too much. He didn’t like my early travel closings. I was right. He is incompetent!

Dow plunges over 1,000 points. 3.5% loss, worst drop in two years.

Trump takes credit for the gains but he's being quiet about the drop.

Nothing to worry about. The virus is "going to go away" and the futures market is doing well.

The President maintained his sunny optimism about the virus that is showing signs of spreading around the world from its Chinese epicenter and is already having a huge impact on global commerce.
"I think that's a problem that's going to go away," Trump said during a trip to India, expressing confidence that the epidemic will not seriously harm the global economy.

Trump acknowledged Monday's Wall Street plunge, but noted futures were higher ahead of Tuesday's market open in the United States and he said that his administration was putting "a lot of talent, brainpower" behind tackling the virus.
The President ticked though administration efforts to contain the virus, claiming the US had "essentially closed the borders."
"We're watching very carefully," Trump said. "We're fortunate so far and we think it's going to remain that way."

Sounds like a 100-season TV show designed to keep the Trump brood off the street.

Mexico may be paying for things on their side of the border but it's still the American taxpayer who is footing the bill for that damn wall.

Yes, he lied. Who is paying for that wall? Mexico? No. The American tax payer is. The military and their families who won't get the much needed housing, etc. because Trump is diverting that money to The Wall are paying.

Again, this is true to you and I. In a world of alternative facts it really doesn't make a difference what the truth of the matter is. The decrease in immigration over the Southern border is a win for him and he'll scream it from the rooftops. When someone brings up the wall, and the money for it he'll simply side step like every other time. It's like John Oliver hitting the "We got him this time" button only, we never do. He got Mexico to do his bidding on their dime, and he's just simply taking the money for the wall with all of his supporters cheering him on. There's no loss here for him.

I like it. But it needs an evil twin.

Evil Michael Bolton?

I think there’s some serious graft going on to get Mexico to pay on “their” dime. Some of it might even be legal. But I have a hunch money is changing hands under the table. Cost overruns, doncha know.

What "brainpower"?

The Trump administration has tried to slash funding for the CDC in previous budgets. (You know, the CDC, the organization that helps deal with various diseases.)

The government had a special team as part of the National Security Council to handle global health issues that had been set up under Bush (and continued under Obama), but the team was disbanded when John Bolton joined the administration.

The head of Health and Human Services (Alex Azar) is a former drug company executive with no actual science background. Meanwhile there is a turf war over health care between Azar and Seema Verma (who helps run Medicare).

This is not accurate. Florida has 29 electoral votes and Pennsylvania 20, a total of 49. In 2016 Trump received 304 electoral votes, Clinton got 227. So in the scenario outlined above, Sanders would win with 276 electoral votes to Trump's 255.

Bah! I used a map that was a prediction rather than the actual results. So Trump keeps Florida and Sanders flips Pennsylvania, Michigan, and the extra two votes in Maine for a 269/269 tie. (Note that you can't just add and subtract from the 2016 votes because there were 7 faithless electors).
 
For being the most physically fit, best looking, and most healthy POTUS ever, it's odd that his doctor had to sneak cauliflower into fatty's mashed potatoes and hide his ice cream:

A former White House physician who memorably said Donald Trump might have lived to 200 if he had improved his junk-food heavy diet has confessed to sneaking cauliflower into the president’s mashed potatoes.

This next part might be the most shocking of all:

“The exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to,” Dr Ronny Jackson told the New York Times. “But we were working on his diet.”

Strange, that. I am absolutely astonished that Trump doesn't have the motivation for exercise.
