Trump: "Therapies are sort of another word for cure," and Ivanka created 15,000,000 jobs

"Therapies are sort of another word for cure" -- Trump still hasn't figured out what a vaccine is

"She started out with 500,000 jobs, and she just broke 15 million" -- Trump once again suggests his daughter Ivanka was somehow responsible for the creation of 15,000,000 jobs, or more than twice the amount of total jobs created during his term

Not sure the point of bringing that up.

The Ivanka 15M jobs thing though ... is well worthy of ridicule ...

"Therapies are sort of another word for cure" is symptomatic of his need to come across as well-versed, an expert. Even if therapies are sort of another word for a cure, so what? What's the point of him saying that? He's taking an indirect route to what could be a more direct and meaningful statement. It's a nuance thing...not challenging the accuracy of what he said, but the way he chose to say it.

trying to make it sound like he knows about shit when he actually has no freaking clue.

It's a classic symptom of Narcissistic Personality Disorder ... you can't ever be seen as 'not knowing everything about everything', cause it's weak (in the sufferers head) to NOT know all there is to know.

Trump is literally incapable of not always fronting in this manner. Pathological Lying and NPD go hand in hand.

Therapies are ATTEMPTS at a cure. Therapies help to minimize symptoms, hopefully to the point of remission or cure. Therapies however, can fail.

They are not cures. He did not get that right.


The problem with Trump aside from the lies, is that he is not smart and he is not curious. His world is simplistic and he gets an idea (mostly wrong) in his head, then he cannot be dissuaded from that idea by any evidence.

CNN analyst ‘guarantees’ Trump will replace Pence — and predicts the exact date



https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/cnn-analyst-guarantees-trump-will-replace-pence-and-predicts-the-exact-date/

CNN’s Paul Begala strongly believes President Donald Trump will dump Vice President Mike Pence — so strongly he’s even predicting the date.

The political analyst predicted Trump would drop Pence from the ticket on Thursday, July 16 — exactly four years after he was formally announced as the 2016 running mate, reported Huffington Post.

“That’s the date the Democrat gives her or his acceptance address,” Begala said Monday. “On that day, to interrupt that narrative, Donald Trump will call a press conference at Mar-a-Lago.”

“This is not a prediction,” Begala added, “it’s a certainty.”
