Not much happening here today. I didn\u2019t listen to the presidential \u201cupdate\u201d yesterday. Probably won\u2019t listen today\u2026 as of Sunday, I think about one or two a week is all I can handle.
Sunday was painful \u2014 here\u2019s a couple of exact<\/em> quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut a lot of good things are happening. Some very good negotiations. I just got off the phone with the Secretary of the Treasury, and we have some very good negotiations going on right now. And I think you could have a nice answer tomorrow, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d
And\u2026
\u201cThat\u2019s \u2014 somebody said to me, \u2018President, you look tired.\u2019 I said, \u2018I should be tired.\u2019\u201d
And
\u201cWe continue to procure millions of swabs, test collectors. I have something here. Just happen to have it. It\u2019s a swab. It looks innocent. Not very complicated. Anybody like to see what it looks like? Should I open it? Does everybody? I will. I will. This is what it\u2019s about. Right? Is it \u2014 does it remind you of something? It reminds you of this, right? One is a swab and one is a Q-tip. It\u2019s actually different. It\u2019s very sophisticated, actually. But it\u2019s a little bit like \u2014 so this is the swab.\u201d
Actual quotes from the President\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminds me of another quote…. ” I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.”
