Trump offers FIRM, COMFORTING SCIENTIFIC coronavirus data: "Just stay calm - it will go away"



President Donald Trump was on Capitol Hill begging lawmakers for a stimulus package to save the stock market from continuing its decline. Yet, at the same time, he said that everything was fine and would go away soon.

“Just stay calm – it will go away,” said Trump. “It’s really working out.”

it will, in fact, go away all on it's own... as our immune systems recognize the pathogen and attack it... only 30 Million or so of us will die in the process,

Or... in a year we will have a vaccine which will train out immune systems to kill the pathogen. Then perhaps only 3 Million or so of us will die waiting on the vaccine.

You go out and get infected first, Mr. pResident.

Honestly, I watched a segment from Fucker Carlson's show last night, that gave me far more comfort than I would ever have imagined.

With so much BS to unpack in this confabulatory rant, a bit surprised he didn't start on the "you're fake news" rants again there.
Still not one hint of truly compassionate selflessness in times of dire needs, just self serving rhetoric with bobblehead Pence silently pwaying to his Jeebus that reality doesn't catch up to either of them... not a scrap of admirability or dignity left between these thieves.

Didn't I hear some self-congratulatory "unbelievably tremendous job" rhetoric in there as well?
He got one part of that right.
