Should We Replace the Trump Administration With Chimpanzees?
b'
No, seriously. After turning the Rose Garden into a superspreader party, after lying 143 ways to Sunday about the virus and 17 more about the president\\u2019s health, maybe it\\u2019s time to let some other mammals have a shot. \\u201cI could release 50 chimpanzees in the White House and they would behave with more care,\\u201d says Rick Wilson on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. Molly Jong-Fast replies, \\u201cMy favorite moment was when they\\u201d\\u2014the White House staff, not the monkeys\\u2014\\u201dsaid, \\u2018you know, he\'s totally fine, but we\'ve given him this experimental drug that has only a compassionate-use approval... Being lied to about the president\'s health is a time-honored tradition. But this group has really done it with a kind of zeal and flare and incompetence that we have never seen before.\\u201d Speaking of those experimental drugs, Yale\\u2019s Dr. Howard Foreman breaks down all the different therapeutics the president is taking\\u2014and lays out why he thinks Trump has been sicker for longer than anyone realizes. Maybe as long as two weeks. Then! The New Yorker\\u2019s Susan Glasser and The New York Times\\u2019 Peter Baker compare covering Trump\\u2019s D.C. to covering Putin\\u2019s Moscow. Plus! Matthew McConaughey\\u2019s Camaro! Hugh Hewitt\\u2019s dumbest moment yet! White House moles emerge! Bill Barr gets even sneakier! And Rick shares his thoughts about Biden\\u2019s decision to take down his negative ads while Trump was in the hospital. \\u201cJoe Biden is falling victim to this asymmetric bullshit, civility, fuck that noise. Get on it. Get back on the negatives, do it. Now he\'s attacking you. He\'s attacked your family. He\'s attacked your campaign over and over again. Do not hesitate.\\u201d
