Trump CDC Press Conference.....WOW

[USALiberal]

To recap what just happened at this Trump CDC press conference on coronavirus:

The president wore his re-election campaign hat and interrupted the event to ask a Fox News reporter if his town hall on the network had good ratings.
He attacked CNN.
He called the governor of Washington state, the epicenter of a major outbreak, a “snake” and “not a good governor”, and said he disagreed with his own vice president saying nice things about the governor while visiting the state.
Trump said he has not considered canceling his rallies and is not worried about risks.
He made false and exaggerated claims about the availability of coronavirus tests, ignoring the reality that his vice president has acknowledged, which is that there is a shortage among US healthcare providers right now.
He said he would prefer if people on the Grand Princess cruise remained on the ship so that US numbers would not go up.
He gloated about his “natural ability” to understand the epidemic.

1. If there is a just and merciful God - and maybe even if there isn't -

His Lardship will come down with the fuckin' coronavirus and will no longer be a bigger plague on the universe than the virus itself.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. LOL (nervous laugh) we sure it isn't time to be hysterical?

[SunSeeker]

3. Good God. 25th Amendment that mother fucker. This is an emergency.

[Celerity]

23. We have erected a truly fucked up system where someone like this monster

has this much power.

[superpatriotman]

25. Don't worry

It will all be fixed before a Democrat takes the presidency

[Celerity]

26. I have little to no faith in that. Almost zero Republicans will lift a finger as he destroys the

nation. Most will, in fact, applaud.

[renate]

4. OMG... he's claiming that the doctors are asking him "how do you know so much about this?"

I think we can all agree that there is literally no way a medical professional was astounded by his depth of knowledge.

The guy is batshit crazy.

[MontanaMama]

13. Gah! What?

Astounded by his lack of knowledge...that’s a gimme.

[klook]

35. Was a big strong working class guy crying

when he asked him that?


So much smdh.

[mmbrevo]

42. Fuck every one of of his batshit crazy followers.

Fuck them all.

[58Sunliner]

5. Please, DT, just fucking crawl into a dark hole and expire you POS.

[USALiberal]

6. You talking to me??? :-)

7. Are you wearing a maggot hat? If not, no.

9. He's a defective unit. My Gawd.

10. Trump is just too stupid to know that he is "STUPID"

[USALiberal]

11. LOL, that cracked me up! nt

[paleotn]

16. Ironically, most stupid people are exactly that.

19. classic Dunning-Kruger personality /eom

28. Yes, yes he is

38. This! n/t

[Rebl2]

33. Got that right!

[BigmanPigman]

12. Why am I not surprised.

If I saw this I would be in a bad mood all day. That is why I can never hear his voice. He is worse for my health than the virus at this point.

He will bankrupt and kill more people while he and his Swamp and spawn profit. This is a guarantee. He is probably profiting off of this as I write (did he invest in test kits, masks, etc). Is he unloading some stocks and buying others...you bet. He probably dumped a ton of stocks or personal deals involved with tourism and travel already.

22. Well said.

And spot on.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Love the word "schmozzle". Someone said CDC presser

Equal to Charlottesville speech

[onecaliberal]

15. When the fuck is it going to be enough?

18. Dunning-Kruger in action

It's like the scientists who developed the theory of the Dunning-Kruger effect knew in 1999 that some day we'd need a way to explain Trump.

[cwydro]

20. We are so screwn.

Please let there be an end to this nightmare.

[USALiberal]

41. +1000! Nt

[wackadoo wabbit]

21. At some point aren't even the Republicans going to be worried about their health . . .

. . . and the health of their loved ones, and recognize what an absolute danger he is — and at that point, do something about it? McConnell seems as if he values his life (very much, I might add). The question is, which does he value more: his life or his kiss-ass allegiance to Trump?

This sounds hyperbolic, I know, but I don't really think it is.

[AlexSFCA]

29. they should, it affects old ones the most...

[Kablooie]

32. Trump blames Obama ...

so they will go to their graves cursing Obama and praising Trump.

Trump won't take any of the blame at all.
If fact he'll probably be proclaimed a hero for saving all the people who remain living after this passes.

[USALiberal]

44. Good point. nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. I certainly hope you are FUCKING PROUD of what you have done

REPUG SENATORS!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!! It's YOUR fault we are HERE.

[dewsgirl]

27. I missed it live..no words.

30. At least he's going to continue to have his rallies. That's good to hear.

Maybe a lot of his Maggets will drop dead.
That would be good for the future of this country.

[bullwinkle428]

31. How did this presser measure on the Helsinki or Charlottesville scale?

[Initech]

34. He is such a piece of shit

[patphil]

36. Trump needs to do things like this more often.

I can't think of a single campaign message by a Democrat that could be more devastating to Trump than the words he speaks.
Sad, just very sad.

[USALiberal]

37. So true!! nt

39. We need the Mr. Magoo test for these news conferences.

For 15 years ASI has used this cartoon, “Mr. Magoo Goes Skiing,” as “thermometer” to gauge if an audience is “warm or cold” and to adjust data accordingly. Having been “tested” hundreds of times, the Magoo cartoon has provided voluminous statistics, and a typical audience response profile has been developed. Any given audience can then be measured against this standard.

40. He needs to be forcibly removed by men in white coats.

Or women. I don't care. Get this crazy piece of shit out of the White House before he kills us all with his infantile stupidity.

[Hamlette]

43. I will never understand why he surprises me anymore. Surprise and disgust.

[sinkingfeeling]

45. Is 'involuntary committment' still a thing?

[bucolic_frolic]

46. "Heckuva job, Trumpie!" You can always count on Republicans to maximize the crisis at minimum cost

GWB couldn't have done it better himself.
