Now, the course of his infection may be another matter. I personally know people who got Covid-19 but insisted that it was a mild case — only to hear indirectly that it was actually very severe. Just saying 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

I'm seeing some people suggesting Trump may be faking it. Look, he lies about everything, but that doesn't make sense. His whole campaign strategy was to get people to forget about covid, insisting that we'd turned the corner. How do you think this news affects FL seniors? 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Not a day when I expect people to pay much attention to macroeconomics, but maybe if you want something else to read about. Both Moody's and Goldman very optimistic about Biden plan, for good reason https://t.co/X4ujRgVUAG — PolitiTweet.org

Debates, in other words, remove some of the filters, external and internal, that keep people from seeing the obvious. And that's bad for Trump 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

There are still some people who have managed to remain oblivious: people who rely on news sources that sanitize Trump's rantings, long-time Republicans in denial about what their party has become. For some of them, Tuesday was revelatory 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

A quick thought about Dilbert turning on Donald Trump: for people who follow politics seriously, debates can seem nonsensical. We know who these guys are, and you shouldn't choose a president based on the ability to deliver sound bites. But ... 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Back in the day — and boy am I showing my age — Dick Tuck had to trick the band at a Nixon rally into playing "Mack the Knife" as he walked in. The Trump people do it to themselves. https://t.co/691o8W5DuE — PolitiTweet.org

First they relabeled NAFTA the USMCA — which had many trade economists calling it the Village People agreement. Now this. I have a sense that the Trump campaign doesn't understand its implicit allusions https://t.co/C1utBslxJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Independent estimates like ADP don't show a V-shaped recovery; they show a reverse square root, i.e., a partial snapback but stalling. Friday's official report will probably be similar. And this will be the last report before the election https://t.co/tupX6yyInx — PolitiTweet.org

This is important: the health care issue isn't just about the havoc Trump would wreak, but the gains from the Biden plan. It isn't single-payer, but it would effectively give us universal health insurance https://t.co/3hIHtJlSLb — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Another trivial but still revealing economic bit: Trump dismissed job growth under Obama as just a recovery from the financial crisis, but boasted about job growth that's just a partial recovery from the covid crisis. Of course, Obama actually tried to deal with his crisis — PolitiTweet.org

Actually I like "plunders". Like Anderson Cooper calling Trump "obesely immoral" when he meant "obscenely", it kind of fits. — PolitiTweet.org
