This Completely, Totally, Utterly, Thoroughly Bizarre President and His Administration

Yet more bizarreness today from this Republican Party Presidential Administration.

First this:

Trump says keeping US Covid-19 deaths to 100,000 would be a ‘very good job’

He actually said if only 100,000 Americans die from and because of this coronavirus pandemic, he will have done "a very good job."

This after first dismissing it entirely, of course, as a "Democratic (party) hoax" then saying it was under control, etc., etc.

Insane.

Next up, also breaking earlier today, is this from a spokesperson in his administration:

Dr. Birx predicts up to 200,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths 'if we do things almost perfectly'

From the article:

The White House coronavirus response coordinator said Monday that she is "very worried about every city in the United States" and projects 100,000 to 200,000 American deaths as a best case scenario.

In an interview on "TODAY," Dr. Deborah Birx painted a grim message about the expected fatalities, echoing that they could hit more than 2 million without any measures, as coronavirus cases continue to climb throughout the country.

"I think everyone understands now that you can go from five to 50 to 500 to 5,000 cases very quickly," Birx said.

"I think in some of the metro areas we were late in getting people to follow the 15-day guidelines," she added.

Birx said the projections by Dr. Anthony Fauci that U.S. deaths could range from 1.6 million to 2.2 million is a worst case scenario if the country did "nothing" to contain the outbreak, but said even "if we do things almost perfectly," she still predicts up to 200,000 U.S. deaths.

Mixed signals, anyone?

Then he did this, over the weekend.

'Insulting' Frontline Health Workers, Trump—Without Evidence—Accuses Hospital Staff in New York of Stealing Protective Gear

Everyone else is praising the health care workers hard work, diligence, sacrifice, sacrifices and efforts. This President?  Heck! Accuse them of stealing medical equipment!

And then he squeezes in time for this, this morning, of all things, big man and big thinker he is.

Trump's Fifty-Four Minute Call To Fox And Friends: Attacks Pelosi As 'Sick Puppy'

Not done there, this news also broke this morning:

Mark Meadows resigning from Congress to become Trump’s chief of staff

There's a great deal of crazy about this, of course, but I'll just point out here that this is Mr. Trump's fourth---fourth--Chief of Staff since taking office.

As if we haven't got enough on our hands and enough bad news already, there is also this breaking today.

Coronavirus job losses could total 47 million, unemployment rate may hit 32 percent, Fed estimates

And to put this in historic perspective?

"The projected unemployment rate would top the Great Depression peak of 24.9 percent."

If the deaths across the planet from this pandemic didn't already concern you, this might.

How much more bizarre and erratic and completely unpredictable and unreliable can this President and all his people, his administration, get? Meanwhile, we need a leader in the White House, not insanity and irresponsibility and someone needy for attention and who wants to blame others and literally call others names like a 3 year old.

Thanks, Republicans! That's quite a guy you've foisted on us all, on the nation there.

It very much reminds me of a scene from the movie "Animal House" with Kevin Bacon.

Gods help us.

Heavens help us.
