Consider you’re a white house staffer. Maybe even Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. You’ve got a global pandemic happening on your watch, uncertainty in the markets and now levels of racial tension not seen since the 1960’s. What to advise oh dear leader?

Well, obviously the right thing to do is to address the nation with a message of calm and try to get everyone to settle down. Assure everyone that justice will run its course in due time and urge people to hold fire. But he can’t do that.

Because every time he opens his mouth he steps in it. So the best advice they can offer is to say nothing at all, which in itself is a message isn’t it? It appears they convinced Trump to hold his tweets because he held off for 11 hours or so after the “LAW AND ORDER” tweet. But man, he’s taking a beating today on Twitter with the various #Bunker hash-tags calling him out for hiding out in his bunker while our cities burn.

That is indeed a choice between bad and terrible. Thoughts and prayers for KellyAnne and Mark.
