No Erik, what you are trying to avoid there is that in a near future dictionary we will see Trump’s image when one looks for the definition of chicken.
(just noticed that the emoji does look like if it is using a Trump tie)
^This. Other Presidents have probably at least jokingly asked for information on those things—but it would never occur to Donald to ask about anything other than his polls or his rally-sizes.

A lot of this (the tweet, I mean, not Twitter’s rather half-assed attempt to flag it) is about Trump wanting to resume rallies.
There may also be an element of claiming, retroactively, than even though he knew he’d tested positive and chose to expose others anyway, it’s all okay, because he’s a Superior Entity who can’t possibly infect others.
Instead of what he actually is: a tantrum-prone toddler who knowingly spread a potentially deadly virus, because he Wanted To Do What He Wanted To Do, even after a positive COVID test.
Trump got briefed on Roswell. The aliens are in cages, and the infants have been separated and taken to different cages. We don’t understand their physiology, so there’s no way to give them any healthcare.
So there was really nothing Trump saw in the briefing that required his attention.
He even retroactively changed his story from how he wasn’t really sick, the doctors made him go to Walter Reed to he was nearly on death’s door and now he is God’s miracle.
I just donated some money to the cause. 100$… About what I can afford but it’s the first time I’ve ever donated to a political cause as far as I can remember. Hope it helps. I feel bad for not putting my money where my mouth is in the past.
My birthplace of Johnstown, PA improbably is in the news as the destination for a Trump campaign rally/superspreader event this coming week.
That this long-dead steel town has somehow attracted both major candidates (Biden chose Johnstown as the end point of his recent whistle-stop tour) frankly puzzles me. Yes, I know that PA is very much in play as a, perhaps the, critical swing state, but Johnstown’s role is not obvious nonetheless. This WaPo article from 2016 (worked without paywall for me):
…ruminates on how this came to be and still seems relevant today. I do have to wonder whether the city’s residents feel Trump’s Presidency has been a net gain for them; so far as I know, the area remains just as depressed and poverty-stricken as at the time he gained office, if not more so.
Of course, since the Air Bud Amendment there’s nothing in the Constitution that says a dog can’t be president. (Although if your dog is 35 years old or older, that’d be pretty damn impressive.
Making it a close second in the Worst Thing To Happen To Johnstown rankings, although I suppose in terms of number of deaths caused we’ll have to wait and see if it makes it to #1.
Apparently, this threat I predicted has gone from the hypothetical, to reality:
I figured Bill Barr was not above doing something like this. Don’t be surprised if he starts threatening mail-in voters en mass before long. I suspect he’ll try to get the most bang for his buck by going after organizers or groups that help register and drive voters to polls, but his actions could also ensnare voters who show up to vote in person in good faith, simply believing that their mail-in ballot wouldn’t make it on time.
I can imagine that rotting Cartman of an AG scrambling to find some kind of ratfuckery to get Don off his back about arresting all those bad’n nasty Hilary/Pellosi/Brennan types.
