Now that Donald Trump’s ever-present psychopathy and worsening senility have made it all but impossible for him to hold press briefings without saying things that damage his reelection prospects, he and his team have been searching for other ways to keep him in the public eye. Now they’ve settled on one, and it should be a complete disaster.

Donald Trump is holding a coronavirus town hall tonight on Fox News. He’s holding it in front of the Lincoln Memorial, because apparently he’s decided that this was the missing ingredient that’ll turn his disastrous public appearances around. We know why Trump wants to do this. He likes the attention – particularly from the kinds of sycophants who would actually show up to a Trump town hall.

We’re mystified as to why Trump’s babysitters are letting him do this. The event is scheduled to last two hours. As we keep seeing from his briefings, Trump doesn’t have that kind of stamina. He’ll sound half dead for the first thirty minutes, then he’ll partially awaken from his stupor and begin incoherently attacking his political adversaries, then he’ll peter out and start rambling about injecting Lysol.

In any case, if you want to watch this flaming dumpster fire just to see how badly Donald Trump blows it, it’s airing from 7pm to 9pm eastern time on Fox News. If you can’t stomach it, we’ll watch it and report back after it’s over.
