    I agree, that’s probably what he meant. I think the POTUS needs at least an elementary level ability to effectively communicate what he means. Trump clearly does not have that. He’s a painfully poor communicator. Quite the liability for the most powerful person on Earth, don’t you think?

    Painfully poor communicator for leader of the free world. And exceptionally misinformed / intentionally disingenuous on every important topic.

    Unfortunately he communicates exactly at the level and the type of misinformation that fires up his target audience. And that's all he cares about.

    Trump has that covered.


    Trump speaks at fourth-grade level, lowest of last 15 U.S. presidents, new analysis finds

    Agree. When Trump speaks before his supporters at MAGA rallies precision and accuracy really aren't that important, it's all about timing and inflection which is what makes him such a great entertainer. Not so when he has to address the country or the world on a serious issue.

    It would get great ratings. Make it pay per view, I'd buy in for entertainment value alone. Maybe Vince McMahon can return the favor and shave that beaver pelt off Donnie's head. Stone Cold could even pitch in.

    I suspect that something may be coming down soon. I have received three emails from higher ups in my organization on planning today. It looks coordinated, although nothing new has been announced except for a hint that we might have to plan for not going to work soon.

    So many unanswered questions that would be helpful in preventing panic. For starters, why have they not released demographic data of those that have died? Is it just the elderly? Infants? How many had medical conditions that enhanced the illness? But the one big question is why the lack of knowledge on a virus that they had no problem identifying at the start of the epidemic? Seems that there is a bit of answers not being given for some reason.
