Ad Nausea--Cryin' Won't Help

 
"Super Facepalm" by Herr D on heromachine.

Herr D? Are you prepared for commentary?
What
Will you comment upon a commercial?
Ok
[plays ad for Trump]Special condition: you may comment upon him specifically at this time.

[agitation of laptop, uncertain meaning] He hasn't changed a bit. He's still lying.
Specifics?

The economy WASN'T doing better before COVID19 hit--it was doing approximately as bad as when he took office. My few international contacts asked me whether we"had more breadlines" because of Trump or whether the numbers they had were right. All I could tell them was that food bank use WAS up, underemployment had skyrocketed, unemployment was about the same. We were NOT the envy of the world. We were making America worse again under our laughingstock of a failed leader. Now our failure as a nation to react to COVID19 as well as we WERE prepared to do so under . . . Shelob? You claimed to have insight into this. I think Obama, Clinton, both Bush's, and Reagan would have done better.
Current information says that those presidents and Carter and Ford would have reacted more successfully.

So every recent president.
Before Ford, some presidents historically did react to unforeseen crises deftly. Kennedy, notably. The reason to withhold judgement is that less is certain about many of the presidents' personality traits.

Well, as far as the ad goes, I wish it made me laugh, 'cuz cryin' won't help. It's all stupid-wrong. I hope most people know better. I'm not sure that they do.
Thank you. [disconnect]
