We used to see something similar here all the time. Claims that he had "all the power" while simultaneously being stopped in his tracks by sabotage from the Democrats.

The opening of a Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough was not a Donald Trump original thought, this has been going on for years, long before I joined the chorus. In 2016 when Joe & his wacky future ex-wife, Mika, would endlessly interview me, I would always be thinking....

....about whether or not Joe could have done such a horrible thing? Maybe or maybe not, but I find Joe to be a total Nut Job, and I knew him well, far better than most. So many unanswered & obvious questions, but I won’t bring them up now! Law enforcement eventually will?

Probably mostly originated by him, he's primarily the one I see and hear holding directly contradictory positions simultaneously. Perhaps the adderall helps take the sting off the cognitive dissonance.

I have zero interest in moving the Republican National Convention to Doral in Miami, as falsely reported by the Fake News @nytimes in order to stir up trouble. Ballroom is not nearly big enough & would like to stay in N.C., whose gov. doesn’t even know if he can let people in?

I hate that trump does this. How can the governor of North Carolina 'guarantee' the August convention will be able to proceed as planned? No one knows where we will be in August in terms of the virus. Why does trump insist on politicizing this to score cheap points with his base. trump is so disrespectful to people he doesn't agree with.

A rational response would be for the president to say, "Are we going to have the convention in North Carolina in August? Right now it's too soon to answer that question. But we have reached out to state officials and we will work with them to try and resolve this." The problem is, if trump reacted that way -- given his track record -- he never would have gotten elected. Instead he's doing what he's always done. Whatever works for him and screw everybody else.

Even Fox News polls show trump losing to Biden in November. Other polls show McConnell in a dead heat with his opponent in November. If these two are voted out of office it would a huge step in restoring democracy and a normal way of life. I have my fingers, toes and even my eyes crossed! ;)
 
I'd like to see the governor of NC treat Trump like the toddler that Trump is and refuse to allow the RNC happen in his state. Also, it would be a wise choice. With Covid-19, the increased use of prostitutes in August would only worsen the situation.
 
The cognitive dissonance extends to within Fox, with the News section desperate to rejoin the fold of respectable News outlets, and the Opinion section trying to given Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones a run for their money.

I can't understand how anyone can have Fox as their primary source of information and not become schizophrenic.

Not to mention Trumps habit of stiffing locations he visits for the increased expenses. While the convention would probably be covered by the RNC, why take the risk?

This morning the conservative talking heads were complaining about how certain area have asserted they don't want trump coming there. Pontificating that they don't want to give him a platform to reach the people in that area. While potentially a valid concern it also simply ignores the history of other localities being stiffed for increased costs.

Also no other city even put in a bid to host the convention. What city is going to decide now to bid on it?

Well, I don't take such hosts of shows (conservative or liberal) as necessarily actually holding the positions portrayed.

The only way I can see people watching and listening to the conservative taking heads and not immediately being slapped in the face by how buffoonish and deliberately misleading they are is simply because it is ones primary, if not only, source of information.

Oh, I'm sure Trump is more than willing to host it at one of his resorts. He'll provide the hookers too and take a small commission.

Stock Market up BIG, DOW crosses 25,000. S&P 500 over 3000. States should open up ASAP. The Transition to Greatness has started, ahead of schedule. There will be ups and downs, but next year will be one of the best ever!

We made most Governors look very good, even great, by getting them the Ventilators, unlimited Testing, and supplies, all of which they should have had in their own stockpiles. So they look great, and I just keep rolling along, doing great things and getting Fake Lamestream News!

Joe Biden’s handling of the H1N1 Swine Flu was a complete and total disaster. Even polls on the matter were terrible!

U.S. deaths from the H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic = 12,469.

U.S. deaths from the Coronavirus Pandemic = 99,498 and climbing.

Maybe evangelicals are saving that for after Trump either loses the next election or the White House is won by the Democrats....

Before Trump: "The president must be Moral. Clinton must be impeached for his affair!"

During Trump: "It doesn't matter if the president has cheated on his wife or has never been to church."

After Trump: "We were tricked by Satan! We now think the president must be a godly person after all, and will now proceed to attack the Democrats because we don't think the president is Christian enough."

That post is about 4,000% more effort then they will actually bother putting into it. They just won't bring it up and will flat out never address it.

But, as I've said, their hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. Adulterer Bill Clinton didn't give them 2 seats on the Supreme Court, Adulterer Donald Trump did. Brainteaser solved.

Or.
President Trump is constitutionally incapable of that type of rational response.
