'Democrats really must stop': Trump begs his critics to quit treating him like he treated Barack...

[Soph0571]

During the Ebola outbreak in 2014, Donald Trump repeatedly took to Twitter to attack President Barack Obama’s administration for its public health measures, arguing that all of the medical experts were wrong and that the United States should close its borders to Africa, even though this would prevent doctors from traveling and make matters worse.

Now, in 2020, Trump is facing COVID-19, a far more widely-spread virus, and his administration is facing serious questions about everything from messaging to whether they are following their own containment protocols. But the president, at a rally in North Carolina on Monday, complained that all of these questions are unfair and Democrats are just trying to make him look bad.

Trump, who relentless & baselessly attacked Obama over an Ebola outbreak in the lead up to the 2014 midterms & has systematically destroyed America's pandemic response capabilities since taking office, demands Democrats cease any attacks against him over the coronavirus response

Can't lie his way out of how shit a job he is doing on this one so he wants a courtesy that he would never give anyone. Fucking sociopath....

1. At least Mike Pence

Gave a coherent PC yesterday. I also noticed he walked out in the middle of the group. No fanfare Emperor, 2 minute wait for him.

Pence may be a Science denying Evangelicalbut I did not cringe when he walked out the way I do when he gazes adoringly at Trump. He let the experts do the talking.

This will probably infuriate Trump, too. Mike getting credit for acting like a decent human.

You can tell when Trump is in a meeting he does not listen, or even understand what others are saying.

[lastlib]

3. When he's in a meeting, he's not paying attention to the meeting--he's

focusing on how good he looks, and how to diminish the others to make himself look better. It's all about him.

[True Blue American]

5. Exactly!

[Ilsa]

30. He also searching for

"Traitors" in the room so he can sic Ginny Thomas and the kid on them.

[gab13by13]

7. Pence is scarier,

because he sounded coherent and sane without saying anything, without giving specifics. The fact that he only picked a handful of journalists to ask questions speaks volumes. If they give press conferences like this and only allow 4 or 5 questions then we aren't getting real facts.

[True Blue American]

11. But at least Pence has experts

And had them answer questions instead of blathering on like Trump would.

That does not mean I like Pence or would ever vote for him. But Pence does show he can turn things over to the experts.

[atreides1]

18. Uh huh

But is Pence listening to what those experts are saying...or is he just putting them in the line of fire, so he doesn't get the blame for upsetting Donnie Small Fingers?

Pence is a politician, regardless of his religious fanaticism...and that's what you and everyone else is seeing, Pence being a politician!!!

[True Blue American]

19. Oh, yes,

I am quite aware of what Pence is but he can at least cover it up to hire experts. But will Trump allow them to act?

His dream world says there is a vaccine right around the corner. Polio devestated a lot of families before Jonas Salk found a vaccine.Iron lungs,paralysis.

I watched the courageous battle FDR fought to try and walk again. The body brace he had to wear to take a few steps was horrible.

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. I have inside information...

telling me Pence has refused to meet with female experts in favor of junior male colleagues at times, looks constipated when greeting groups of people in ops center environments, and eyes glaze over in briefings. No confidence he understands critical information he should be able to process.

Why am I not surprised by any of that?

[wishstar]

16. That's why I don't get Repubs total reluctance to ditch Trump for Pence

But Repubs thought mild mannered Pence has so little charisma he couldn't deliver the rabid cult base of support in Nov. and it would be like after Nixon resigned in disgrace and Ford's pardon sunk Ford in election.

[Scarsdale]

2. Ivanka is also getting in on this.

She tweeted about how we should all get together, make potus a success. Hey, nobody can "polish a turd" grifter princess. The tRumps are terrified that if daddy loses the election, they will have to get actual JOBS, after the lawyers drain their bank accounts. I read that she is on the committee for the virus. Probably to keep Pence in check.

[central scrutinizer]

25. Making license plates

May be the jobs in their future if IMPOTUS loses

[subana]

4. after all of this time,

why would we even care about how he wishes to be treated?

[True Blue American]

10. I don't care,

Do you?

[AZ8theist]

20. HAHA!! I see what you did there...

Good one!

[True Blue American]

31. :)

[Harker]

6. If he didn't know it, nobody did.

A common refrain of his.

[johnthewoodworker]

8. Der fuhrer demands fawning attention at all times. After all, everything is about him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Just learned that the flu can be deadly?

What bubble has he been living in?

[AZ8theist]

21. The bubble of IMBECILITY

I knew he was a fucking moron 30 years ago when I worked in NYC...

[True Blue American]

32. It seems

Everyone who ever ever lived in New York knew what Trump is. Why can’t those who voted for him see.

I spotted a self aggrandizing bully the first time I noticed him. They are easy to spot. Most 8 year olds could do the same.

[MrModerate]

12. It's unfortunate that the virus doesn't specifically attack moron-Americans...

We could do with 2-3% fewer of them.

[rickyhall]

13. Poor baby...

[MrModerate]

14. I dunno about you, but my patience with these people is about used up.

Did you notice that they've installed an historic kakistocracy in Washington?

[dalton99a]

15. For once in your life, do your job, asshole

[usaf-vet]

17. Trump doesn't need my help to look bad. History will surely rank him as the worst POTUS EVER!

Hopefully, the only one to go from the WH to federal prison.

[AZ8theist]

22. Hopefully the only one TO DIE in prison...

[usaf-vet]

23. He will certainly suffer when he can't feed his drug habit. And can't get Big MACs, KFC & Diet Coke.

[marieo1]

24. Common knowledge

DJT deserves everything he gets, he attacked and is still attacking President Obama all the time. President Obama is a true gentleman, a patriot, and a kind human being. DJT has no good qualities at all. That is the whole story!!! He is a degenerate human being. It's common knowledge.

[True Blue American]

33. That is the very reason Trump

Hates President Obama. He is everything Trump is not!

[Gothmog]

26. trump is an idiot

[vlyons]

27. We don't have to "try" to make him look bad

need I say more?

[SWBTATTReg]

28. What's that saying that what goes around, comes around? Seems rather appropriate being that...

rump has mouthed off against everyone else, is tasting his own verbal medicine from others now that's he is in the same situation. I hope that the bile taste in his mouth chokes him.

[skip fox]

29. We had a month to manufacture and distrube test kits. Trump deferred.

The rest of the world has been testing for Coronavirus for weeks, whereas the United States lacks an adequate supply of test kits.

Why?

Because Trump believed he could solve the problem by closing down flights from certain areas and ignored the urgency of his experts.

So whatever time was spared was squandered!

Trump also felt testing wasn't in his political interests. It would tank he stock market and thereby putting his election into more question.

It's easier to pretend there are 15 cases rather than knowing there are hundreds or thousands.

So Trump withheld life-saving information as well as test kits.

Where's the stink?
