So he's fired the watchdog overseeing the $2 trillion bailout package. This is madness. Reposting this comment from reddit :
"This is the most damaging and openly corrupt act he has taken in office and that is an extremely high bar. He just created a multi trillion dollar slush fund to bail out his donors, starve out their competitors, save his distressed properties, and perhaps even get Deutsche off his back. And the very act of doing this has now made the second relief bill, which is now clearly needed and market rally was anticipating, functionally dead. Why would the Dems give him another blank check for hundreds of billions after he just made clear this is a full kleptocracy? "

Not coincidental at all. Novartis - the maker of the medicine he is advising people to take because they've got nothing to lose - paid 1.2 million dollars to Michael Cohen for access to Trump.
That said, there is no doubt he wants to be a big hero too.

According to Trump’s executive order, the US will object to any attempt to use international law to hinder its efforts to remove chunks of the moon or, should the opportunity arise, additional mining of Mars and “other celestial bodies”.

I'm not sure "hopeless" is the rights word. "Furious", "frustrated", "sad", and "a bit scared" might cover it. I alternate between two ideas: 1) run away where no one will find me, which is actually an option for me; or 2) get a white van with some political stickers on it and a 50 cal sniper rifle and head to Washington, DC to try my luck. Then, sense prevails and I go to work and get on with it.

Presume that was related to the Wisconsin Democratic primary where Republican judges made them hold it as normal this week. Still, Trump says he has no plans on canceling the Republican convention...so it might balance up in the end

So, another 4 years?
he has to lose by more than he did last time, but the number of votes that would have to swing is only in the tens of thousands. this time there's a bunch of campaign pros who are ex-republicans and just as bloody-minded as he is and are already stockpiling tape and producing stuff that's running over here (or was, before the c-virus made it temporarily unseemly). yeah he could wind up back in the white house, but he could also lose and the path there isn't hard to see.

Trump takes break from coronavirus crisis to sign order for US to mine the moon
As the US virus death toll hits 13,000, the president turns his focus to what Russia says may be "an attempt to privatise space".
"Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons."
Realistically though, how soon is America looking to mine the moon?

Get thee behind me, Santa
Nobody's going to be mining anything on the moon in Trump's lifetime, he's just throwing his supporters a bone by thumbing his nose at an international treaty and conjuring up visions of hardworking West Virginia coal miners having lucrative jobs on the moon - next he'll declare that the Endangered Species Act will not apply to hostile aliens from outer space.
