President Donald Trump says coronavirus aid talks have restarted, just days after he shocked financial markets by announcing he’d ordered Republicans to end negotiations altogether.
“Now they are starting to work out,” he told Fox Business Network.
Earlier this week, Trump announced he had instructed Republicans not to negotiate a coronavirus financial stimulus package until after November’s general election. He appeared to reverse course the following morning,
telling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that he is “Waiting To Sign” a bill authorizing stimulus checks as soon as it lands on his desk.
The President’s remark came as he quoted his own tweet from Tuesday in which he said that he’ll sign a bill for $1200 stimulus checks that would “go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY.”
Trump’s mixed messages confused financial markets and came after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said more financial relief would be needed to help the economy recover.
“This appears to be a none too subtle effort to cherry-pick the bits of a fiscal stimulus plan that are directly vote-winning potentially,” said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst for Asia Pacific at Oanda. “Whether the American public buys it or not is another thing altogether.”
It is unclear if a stimulus deal will be reached but Pelosi aide Drew Hammill said another conversation will take place today.
Yesterday, Pelosi said Trump had made a “terrible mistake” by halting negotiations.
“It’s hard to see any clear sane path on what he’s doing but the fact is, he saw the political downside of his statement of walking away from the negotiations … he’s rebounding from a terrible mistake he made yesterday and the Republicans in Congress are going down the drain with him on that,” she said. “But I will say this, it is really important for us to come to this agreement. When the president just popped off and made that announcement without even informing us that that was the case, he insulted the Constitution of the United States.”

Dr. Jonathan Reiner once served as Dick Cheney’s cardiologist. Earlier today, he explained that it would be a mistake for Trump to rush to get back in front of people.

He’ll have trouble standing at the podium for an hour and he’ll look weak.”
While it is difficult for anyone in his orbit to control Donald Trump, Dr. Reiner said that someone has to step in for both his health and his political fortune. “If I were his adviser, I would use just that word.

The scheduled Senate debate between Jaime Harrison and Lindsey Graham has been canceled after Graham refused a COVID test.
The debate cancelation announcement:
The 2nd #SCSen debate tonight has officially been scrapped hours before it was scheduled to begin after @harrisonjaime insisted that @LindseyGrahamSC get a coronavirus test and Graham refused. It will be replaced by separate interviews hosted by WSPA.https://t.co/loH4MQQ1jG — Jamie Lovegrove (@jslovegrove) October 9, 2020
The only reason for the cancelation of the Senate debate is Lindsey Graham’s refusal to be tested for the coronavirus.
Either Lindsey Graham knows that he has the virus, or suspects that he has the virus. Either way, Graham’s behavior is Trump-level irresponsible. It is not difficult to get a test. It only takes a few minutes, and it could save lives.
The debate should be happening. The South Carolina Senate race is a dead heat. The voters deserve to be hearing from their two candidates on the same stage.
There is no reason for Lindsey Graham given his close proximity to the Trump coronavirus outbreak not to be tested.

The debate moderators and his Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison have all agreed to be COVID tested before the debate, but Lindsey Graham refused.
Harrison tweeted:
I'm excited for tomorrow's debate with @LindseyGrahamSC, but we need real leadership in this pandemic. The debate moderators and I have agreed to take a COVID test prior to debating. I've scheduled my test, and I am calling on Sen. Graham to do the same. — Jaime Harrison (@harrisonjaime) October 8, 2020
Graham replied with a Twitter tantrum:
Mr. Harrison is demanding special treatment. Other than Mr. Harrison, is any other South Carolinian demanding every person they come in contact with be tested before they meet? — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 9, 2020
South Carolinians do not appreciate Harrison putting himself above others. If Mr. Harrison is not able to interact with South Carolinians on the same terms they live their lives, he should not be their senator. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 9, 2020
Why is Lindsey Graham refusing to be tested for the coronavirus?
The answer is that confirmation hearings for Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, are supposed to start next week. If Graham tests positive, those hearings aren’t happening.
Lindsey Graham is choosing to jeopardize the lives of everyone at the debate in order to hold Supreme Court nominee confirmation hearings.
Graham is placing Donald Trump’s desire for another Supreme Court justice ahead of the health and safety of the people of South Carolina.
South Carolina deserves a senator who will take the pandemic seriously, and place the people of South Carolina ahead of his own political agenda.

Trump is so broke that he had to use an illegal loan to keep his presidential campaign afloat during the 2016 election.
The New York Times dropped a fresh bombshell from Trump’s tax returns:
Then, seven weeks before the election, something else unusual happened. The Trump-Ruffin partnership borrowed $30 million from City National Bank in Los Angeles. Mr. Trump signed the loan documents in New York City, but tax records show that Mr. Ruffin personally guaranteed nearly the entire amount, should the company ever be unable to pay.
The partnership was not required to disclose on its tax returns how the borrowed money would be spent. But the timing of the loan, combined with the partnership’s lack of available cash that year, strongly suggests that the loan funded the millions of dollars in payments to Mr. Trump.
Experts say that if these expenses were not for legitimate business purposes, they would be looked at under the law as an illegal campaign contribution.
Based on what is known about Trump’s tax returns, then-candidate Trump was deeply in debt with his revenue streams drying up. Trump struggled to raise money in 2016, and he was so bad with his campaign resources that even after raising over a billion dollars in 2020, the Trump reelection campaign is too broke to match Joe Biden’s TV ad spending.
The publication of his tax return information has been a disaster for the president. Trump sold a lie to the Republican Party and voters in 2016. The President is not a billionaire. He is a failed businessman who is deeply in debt and living off of bilking the taxpayers.
If Trump did fund his campaign with an illegal loan, there should be criminal consequences.

politicususa--2020-10-10--Opinion: Wall Street Sees Biden, Not Trump, as the Best Bet for a Powerful Economic Recovery for Ame

Opinion: Wall Street Sees Biden, Not Trump, as the Best Bet for a Powerful Economic Recovery for Americans

Donald Trump continues to attempt to scare Americans into voting for him , painting a doom-and-gloom portrait of a collapsing U.S. economy should they elect Joe Biden president this November .
Wall Street and big bank economists , however , paint a very different picture .
According to their vision , not just a Biden victory , but a Biden victory accompanied by Democratics also winning control of both chambers of Congress , would fuel the most powerful and stable economic recovery .
Who says so ?
Well , Moody ’ s Analytics , led by Mark Zandi who advised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run , concluded quite clearly in its recent report : Moody ’ s analysis affirmed what Biden had been trying to assert in the first presidential debate over and against Trump ’ s incessant interruptions : Biden ’ s economic proposal would create 7.4 million jobs .
Moreover , the report elaborates , if enacted , Biden ’ s plan promises to return the economy to full employment in the second half of 2022 , two years earlier than the projections in Trump ’ s plan .
And what about the crash of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden presidency ?
Well , Goldman Sachs has alerted its clients that polls “ suggest a ‘ blue wave ’ in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely , ” and they have informed their clients that such an outcome bodes well for a strong stock market performance .
Far from advising clients to sell stocks , Goldman ’ s chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote , in a report issued last Monday on the heels of a tweet from Trump predicting economic disaster , that , in fact , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blue wave would most likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts.
” Recent fluctuations in the market have been motivated by uncertainties regarding the passage of a fiscal stimulus package to provide relief for struggling Americans during the pandemic .
Trump ’ s flip-flops on whether or not his administration will negotiate such a package have been the chief cause of this uncertainty .
The report from Goldman Sachs underscored , in particular , that a blue wave would “ sharply raise the probability ” of Congress passing a stimulus bill in excess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inauguration .
In short , Wall Street even supports Democratic policy as better for the economy .
Additionally , the long-term spending Biden has proposed on infrastructure , healthcare , climate change , and education are seen as positives for the long-term health and stability of the economy , such that even though the bank foresees increased taxes and regulations , these increases would be offset by these improvements to the overall economy .
In the words of the report , “ It would likely result in substantially easier US fiscal policy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a firmer global growth outlook , ” the report said .
Wall Street seems smart enough to take a larger view of the economy than Trump does , recognizing that the economic health and wherewithal of the average American has a lot to do with the success of the overall economy .
As CNN business writer Paul R. La Monica put it in his recent piece “ Biden wants to undo Trump ’ s tax cuts .
Wall Street is backing him anyway ” : Indeed , as one fund manager @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
.
.
any new policies that strengthen the middle class should give consumers more confidence to take out more loans.
” In other words , Wall Street is now looking for a trickle-up economic policy to ensure the ongoing creation of wealth and health of the economy .
The markets sent this same message for most of September .
Last Monday , September 21 , for example , after the S & P 500 index posted its first four-day losing streak since February and the Dow Jones Industrial plummeted 500 points , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decline on “ fears about the potential worsening of the coronavirus pandemic , as well as uncertainty on further U.S. fiscal stimulus , ” which had both “ rattled traders.
” That brutal Monday for the stock market began a week that would end marking a four-week losing streak for both the Dow and the S & P 500 , their longest losing streaks since August 2019 .
While Trump continues to engage in his incessant denial of reality—whether it is the reality of the coronavirus , of systemic racism , or the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been seemingly refusing to participate in Trump ’ s panglossian denials of what we are all witnessing , should we care to pay attention , right before our eyes , particularly when it comes to Trump ’ s abject failure to manage , much less care about , the pandemic , as well as his penchant for generating political chaos rather than leading his party in passing more fiscal relief for desperate Americans .
As Brad Kinkelaar , a global portfolio manager at Barrow Hanley , told CNBC , “ This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ haven ’ t made any progress .
We still don ’ t have a vaccine ; obviously , there ’ s still no cure and we ’ re still figuring out how to deal with the crisis.
” According to Kinkelaar , the markets had , at least for a while , bought into Trump ’ s magical thinking that the coronavirus would just fade away without taking action with a national coordinated response , returning us to normalcy .
He explained , “ So it ’ s not surprising we ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pricing in a resumption of normal activity , within a reasonable time frame , to one pricing in the notion that we haven ’ t figured this out yet.
” As strategists at another firm noted , “ After a buoyant and hopeful summer , financial markets are cooling in the face of reality.
” Markets bounced back this week as prospects of a fiscal stimulus package improved , but also because the prospects of Biden victory and Democratic sweep of the Congress brightened .
It seems best to disregard Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wall Street ’ s crystal ball .

Moody’s analysis affirmed what Biden had been trying to assert in the first presidential debate over and against Trump’s incessant interruptions: Biden’s economic proposal would create 7.4 million jobs.

Trump’s flip-flops on whether or not his administration will negotiate such a package have been the chief cause of this uncertainty.
The report from Goldman Sachs underscored, in particular, that a blue wave would “sharply raise the probability” of Congress passing a stimulus bill in excess of $2 trillion after the January inauguration.
In short, Wall Street even supports Democratic policy as better for the economy. Additionally, the long-term spending Biden has proposed on infrastructure, healthcare, climate change, and education are seen as positives for the long-term health and stability of the economy, such that even though the bank foresees increased taxes and regulations, these increases would be offset by these improvements to the overall economy. In the words of the report, “It would likely result in substantially easier US fiscal policy, a reduced risk of renewed trade escalation, and a firmer global growth outlook,” the report said.
Wall Street seems smart enough to take a larger view of the economy than Trump does, recognizing that the economic health and wherewithal of the average American has a lot to do with the success of the overall economy.
As CNN business writer Paul R. La Monica put it in his recent piece “Biden wants to undo Trump’s tax cuts. Wall Street is backing him anyway”:
“A Biden win could also lead to a slightly higher personal income tax rate for the upper middle class and the wealthy. But you can’t look at the tax picture without analyzing what the broader economy might look like with more stimulus coming from either Biden or Trump.”
Indeed, as one fund manager points out to La Monica, “ . . . any new policies that strengthen the middle class should give consumers more confidence to take out more loans.”
In other words, Wall Street is now looking for a trickle-up economic policy to ensure the ongoing creation of wealth and health of the economy.
The markets sent this same message for most of September. Last Monday, September 21, for example, after the S&P 500 index posted its first four-day losing streak since February and the Dow Jones Industrial plummeted 500 points, CNBC’s Fred Imbert pinned this decline on “fears about the potential worsening of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as uncertainty on further U.S. fiscal stimulus,” which had both “rattled traders.”

As Brad Kinkelaar, a global portfolio manager at Barrow Hanley, told CNBC, “This is a health-care issue and we still really haven’t made any progress. We still don’t have a vaccine; obviously, there’s still no cure and we’re still figuring out how to deal with the crisis.”
According to Kinkelaar, the markets had, at least for a while, bought into Trump’s magical thinking that the coronavirus would just fade away without taking action with a national coordinated response, returning us to normalcy.

Here is Trump who is still sick with COVID claiming that the coronavirus is disappearing:
Trump falsely claims the coronavirus is "disappearing," then suggests the situation in the US isn't that different from elsewhere, saying, "very big flareup in Canada." Canada had about 2,500 new coronavirus cases on Friday, whereas the US had more than 58,000. pic.twitter.com/gzeHPZ2O6O — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 10, 2020
Trump said, “I want you to know the nation is going to defeat this terrible China virus as we call it, and we’re producing powerful therapies and drugs. We’re healing the sick, and we’re going to recover, and the vaccine is coming out very very quickly in record time, as you know. It’s coming out very very soon…Science medicine will eradicate the China virus once and for all. We’ll get rid of it all over the world. You see big flareups in Europe, big flareups in Canada, a very big flareup in Canada, a lot of big flareups, but it’s disappearing, and it’s going to disappear.”
The coronavirus is not disappearing, and Canada’s “flareup” was almost thirty times smaller than the number of positive cases in the United States on Friday.
Jennifer Jacobs reported that Trump could only speak for 18 minutes at the event:
“Get out and vote and I love you,” Trump said to South Lawn guests from White House’s Blue Room balcony in an uncharacteristically short speech of about 18 minutes, his 1st since coronavirus hospitalization. pic.twitter.com/GN5MdKYw39 — Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) October 10, 2020

politicususa--2020-10-10--Opinion: Trump’s Taxes Suggest That When It Comes to Genocide, He’s Pay-for-Play

As the coronavirus sweeps through the White House , infecting Donald Trump , advisor Hope Hicks , Kellyanne Conway , three Republican senators , and more , the bombshell report on Trump ’ s tax returns The New York Times dropped in late September already seems to be receding from the news cycle .
Updates on Trump ’ s health status dominate the headlines and television news coverage .
The president is now suffering from the behaviors resulting from his repeated public denials of the lethal nature of the virus and his refusal to wear a mask and take other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the pestilence .
While Trump ’ s denials of the dangers of the coronavirus have proven deadly and certainly newsworthy , the Times reporting on Trump ’ s tax returns sheds light on another deadly denial that hasn ’ t received enough attention , and certainly not sharp focus : Trump ’ s enabling , indeed participation in , the genocide of thousands of Kurdish people in northern Syria carried out by Turkey ’ s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan .
There is far more than Trump ’ s $ 70,000 hair-styling write-offs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ At the time , Trump ordered the removal of the U.S. troops stationed in the region in part to provide protection for the Kurds , thus creating an unfettered genocidal path of destruction for Turkish forces against the over-matched and largely defenseless Kurds .
And for what ?
A few more million dollars in the pockets of the man who already holds one of the most powerful positions on the planet and who already brings in tens of millions of dollars each year from foreign sources .
The mass murder of thousands of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who is already doing just fine , at least financially , in his life .
Back in November 2019 , Trump ’ s pliability to Erdogan ’ s influence , or blackmail really , did receive attention .
Media coverage highlighted , for example , statements by Trump ’ s former national security advisor John Bolton , who had recently left the administration , raising suspicions that Trump ’ s own financial interests were influencing his foreign policy decisions—or , to put it more pointedly , that foreign leaders were financially leveraging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , his decisions .
Newsweek , for example , reported that Bolton expressed frustration at Trump ’ s Turkey strategy , suggesting “ that Trump ’ s personal financial interests might be influencing his decisions as they were so far removed from his aides ’ advice.
” The reporting highlighted how previously , when Trump had banned Muslims from entering the U.S. , Erdogan called for Trump ’ s name to be removed for the hotel in Istanbul with which Trump had a licensing agreement from which he had collected more than $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when Trump publicly supported his suppression of domestic opposition after a coup attempt .
Writing for the conservative journal The Bulwark , Tim Miller put it this way at the time : But even the outrage and alarm registered implicitly in this reporting does not capture the absolute criminal inhumanity of Trump ’ s behavior .
Nor does , for example , reporting by Vox in the wake of the Times ’ reporting on Trump ’ s tax returns , which fairly typified a good deal of the coverage .
Alex Ward , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Trump ’ s tax returns , articulated the key issue this way : Trump abusing his office to serve his own interests at the expense of the American people is indeed horrible—and horribly dangerous for the nation , for all of us .
But participating in a genocide , in mass murder , in the most vile crime against humanity , so one can stroke one ’ s ego by preserving one ’ s name in big letters on a hotel and maybe rake in another million dollars when one is already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s behavior to a whole other extreme level of grotesque evil and inhumanity .

As the coronavirus sweeps through the White House, infecting Donald Trump, advisor Hope Hicks, Kellyanne Conway, three Republican senators, and more, the bombshell report on Trump’s tax returns The New York Times dropped in late September already seems to be receding from the news cycle.
Updates on Trump’s health status dominate the headlines and television news coverage. The president is now suffering from the behaviors resulting from his repeated public denials of the lethal nature of the virus and his refusal to wear a mask and take other basic precautions to protect himself and others from the pestilence.
While Trump’s denials of the dangers of the coronavirus have proven deadly and certainly newsworthy, the Times reporting on Trump’s tax returns sheds light on another deadly denial that hasn’t received enough attention, and certainly not sharp focus: Trump’s enabling, indeed participation in, the genocide of thousands of Kurdish people in northern Syria carried out by Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. There is far more than Trump’s $70,000 hair-styling write-offs that need attention in this reporting.
At the time, Trump ordered the removal of the U.S. troops stationed in the region in part to provide protection for the Kurds, thus creating an unfettered genocidal path of destruction for Turkish forces against the over-matched and largely defenseless Kurds.
And for what? A few more million dollars in the pockets of the man who already holds one of the most powerful positions on the planet and who already brings in tens of millions of dollars each year from foreign sources.
The mass murder of thousands of Kurds has a price tag for Trump, who is already doing just fine, at least financially, in his life.
Back in November 2019, Trump’s pliability to Erdogan’s influence, or blackmail really, did receive attention. Media coverage highlighted, for example, statements by Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton, who had recently left the administration, raising suspicions that Trump’s own financial interests were influencing his foreign policy decisions—or, to put it more pointedly, that foreign leaders were financially leveraging Trump to influence, if not coerce, his decisions.
Newsweek, for example, reported that Bolton expressed frustration at Trump’s Turkey strategy, suggesting “that Trump’s personal financial interests might be influencing his decisions as they were so far removed from his aides’ advice.”
The reporting highlighted how previously, when Trump had banned Muslims from entering the U.S., Erdogan called for Trump’s name to be removed for the hotel in Istanbul with which Trump had a licensing agreement from which he had collected more than $13 million. Erdogan dropped this campaign when Trump publicly supported his suppression of domestic opposition after a coup attempt.
Writing for the conservative journal The Bulwark, Tim Miller put it this way at the time:
Bolton’s accusation, if accurate, would amount to the biggest scandal in the American presidency in half a century: The most senior security staffer, a man with unparalleled access to the president, believes that Trump acted in a way that is indistinguishable from double-dealing despots the world over.
But even the outrage and alarm registered implicitly in this reporting does not capture the absolute criminal inhumanity of Trump’s behavior. Nor does, for example, reporting by Vox in the wake of the Times’ reporting on Trump’s tax returns, which fairly typified a good deal of the coverage. Alex Ward, reporting on the conflicts of interest spotlighted in Trump’s tax returns, articulated the key issue this way:
Yes, foreign governments funneling money into business linked with the president goes against federal law. But since such rule-breaking hasn’t — and likely won’t — lead to immediate action, the biggest concern is this: If the president makes decisions based on his private interests, and not the public’s, then he’s subjugating the demands of US foreign policy for the bottom line of his family’s business.
Trump abusing his office to serve his own interests at the expense of the American people is indeed horrible—and horribly dangerous for the nation, for all of us.
But participating in a genocide, in mass murder, in the most vile crime against humanity, so one can stroke one’s ego by preserving one’s name in big letters on a hotel and maybe rake in another million dollars when one is already quite comfortable—well, this brings Trump’s behavior to a whole other extreme level of grotesque evil and inhumanity.
This isn’t just about America’s national interest or security. It’s about how Trump feels—or doesn’t feel—about people, about lives, including the American people and their lives.
As I wrote back in October 2019, Trump needs to brought to the United Nations and tried for crimes against humanity based on the U.N.’s Genocide Convention.
And I also pointed out that Trump’s attitudes and actions toward the Kurds were no different from the attitudes he held toward the American people and the policies he pursued to undermine American lives—the lives of the white working class who supposedly support him, of people of color in the U.S., against LGBTQ people, against all Americans.
While Trump likely won’t be brought before the U.N. to face charges of genocide, he will be brought before the American people on November 3 for judgment.
It is important Americans recognize, and the media puts sharply into focus, Trump’s absolute disrespect, even hostility, toward life itself.


politicususa--2020-10-11--Susan Collins Whines That Her Opponent Sara Gideon Is Raising Too Much Money and Will Do Anything To

Susan Collins Whines That Her Opponent Sara Gideon Is Raising Too Much Money and Will Do Anything To Win

When Donald Trump was elected president , it was hoped that Maine senator Susan Collins would help keep him in line .
But the moderate Republican has far too often given the president a pass .
Especially offensive when she refused to vote for impeachment saying that she was sure Trump had learned his lesson .
And thanks to her actions , Collins is now facing a very tough re-election bid against Democrat Sara Gideon .
The troubled incumbent senator lashed out at her opponent during a recent interview with Politico .
Collins first complained that her opponent was running @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ She will say or do anything to try to win .
This race is built on a foundation of falsehoods — and trying to convince the people of Maine that somehow , I am no longer the same person.
” The long-serving Maine senator is also angry that Gideon , who was born in Rhode Island , is trying to take her spot .
Collins continued , “ I grew up in Caribou , I ’ ve lived in Bangor for 26 years .
My family ’ s been in Maine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Maine for about 15 years and lives in Freeport .
That ’ s a big difference in our knowledge of the state.
” And like her South Carolinian counterpart , Lindsey Graham , Collins is angry that so much money has flowed into her race .
She lamented , “ It ’ s very frustrating because it ’ s backed by so much money .
And it ’ s been going on for two years now : non-stop negative ads .
That eventually it pulls you down.

And thanks to her actions, Collins is now facing a very tough re-election bid against Democrat Sara Gideon. The troubled incumbent senator lashed out at her opponent during a recent interview with Politico.

The long-serving Maine senator is also angry that Gideon, who was born in Rhode Island, is trying to take her spot. Collins continued, “I grew up in Caribou, I’ve lived in Bangor for 26 years. My family’s been in Maine for generations. She’s been in Maine for about 15 years and lives in Freeport. That’s a big difference in our knowledge of the state.”

Polls have shown Gideon leading Collins by between 1-12%.


politicususa--2020-10-11--Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to Self Quarantine After Staffer has Positive COVID-19 Test

Andy Beshear is somewhat of an anomaly in the state of Kentucky .
In 2016 , Donald Trump easily won the state , defeating Hillary Clinton by a margin of over 30 % .
But in 2019 , incumbent Republican governor Matt Bevin had become one of the most unpopular lawmakers in the country .
And shockingly , Beshear was able to defeat Bevin by a narrow margin in the November race .
And the Democrat has made a point of governing like a Liberal in the deep South and setting an example unseen in Washington .
Unlike Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a staffer had a positive COVID-19 case .
The Kentucky governor made the announcement via a video submitted to his social media accounts .
He told viewers : “ The Beshear family , since the start of COVID-19 , has been committed to setting an example .
Of doing all those things that we ’ re asking Kentuckians to do .
One of those is to answer the call .
That ’ s when contact tracers call you because someone around you has tested positive .
And ask you to do various things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yesterday , we got that call .
One of those in my security detail got a positive test back late last night.
” These actions differ mightily than those taken by Donald Trump .
Not only was Trump around people that had contracted the virus , he himself was suffering from COVID-19 .
There is still no answer as to when Trump had his first positive test as his Doctors have been less than honest with the American public .

Twitter flagged Donald Trump’s tweet after the President made the false claim that he is now immune from getting the coronavirus.
The warning that Twitter put on the tweet:
This is Trump’s tweet:
A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune), and can’t give it. Very nice to know!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2020
Twitter has so far been the only social media platform to consistently flag, remove, and warn about Trump’s pandemic lies. There is no evidence yet that people who had the coronavirus are immune to getting it again.
Trump is so desperate to sell himself as health that he is jeopardizing the public health by spreading false information during a pandemic, but this is nothing new for Donald Trump who started spreading false information with the launch of his first presidential campaign.
Social media companies have a responsibility to democracy and to the public health to flag Trump’s misinformation and potentially dangerous statements.
