Cascade

You're all fired.

   Add a fourth inspector general to the list of senior officials fired by the president in just two months, whose sin seems to have been leading an investigation into allegations of presidential improprieties.
   Meanwhile, the national death toll from the corona virus went above 90,000, but the president focuses instead on anyone who questions his actions and motives, even to alleging, without specifics or evidence, that his predecessor Barack Obama committed some sort of crime.
   Also, the president still refuses to wear a face covering and he volunteered the information that he is taking the pill hydroxychloroquine as a preventative against the corona virus. He has touted the drug for weeks as a "potential game changer," even as the government's Food and Drug Administration warned that the anti-malaria medication has not been proven to work against covid-19, and may cause "serious health problems."
   Perhaps he will issue an executive order exempting himself from any viral infection, and will fire the FDA director for contradicting him on health issues.
   And despite his continuing attacks on the news media, independent outlets continue to publicize presidential comments and actions, especially those that conflict with truth.
   For example, here's a comment from the Los Angeles Times web site:
   "Experts have struggled to think of a historical parallel where a U.S. president has turned the world’s most powerful and influential office into a megaphone for wholesale fabrications and bizarre claims in an effort to confuse voters and salvage his own political future."
