Sense I'm getting from CNN and MSNBC is that this speech was a disaster for Toad-You agree?

[NewsCenter28]

Seems like it was a disaster, minimized the crisis, and didn't take the needed steps to contain this pandemic.

I can't bear to watch him. So, just watched the analysis a bit. You agree? Maybe the broadcast networks said something else?

[killaphill]

1. How does eliminating all air travel from Europe minimize the crisis?

Seems like a pretty big step to me...

[uponit7771]

2. +1, might as well attack Iraq again

[PubliusEnigma]

3. How does it stop Coronavirus from getting into the US when it's already been here for weeks?

Trump is trying to cover his ass, but it's too late for that.

[GulfCoast66]

6. Because it already fucking here, established and growing.

Does cutting off travel at this point hurt? No. But it does nothing to mitigate the situation we find ourselves. A gesture that does not help but is being done to make it look like action is being taken is minimizing the crisis.

Since Europe has a much better grip on their total numbers they should cut off travel from here. Which I’m sure is only hours away. But the dipshit never considered that.

[0rganism]

14. yep, we've got everything under control now

best people working on it, right?
EU is fucked specifically because they didn't close their borders
and deregulating pharmaceutical companies gets us a vaccine in record time
elderly gotta be very very careful (not just one very, but two!)

good job Donald, a very ambitious attempt at gaslighting humanity

[sop]

4. He exempted travel from the UK

[GulfCoast66]

7. Which still has open travel to the continent. The stupid. It hurts.

[yardwork]

12. Got to support his Brexit buddies. Putin says.

[Frances]

5. I was too distracted by all the sniffing to pay close attention

I kept wondering if the sniffing meant he has the virus
It was definitely not normal

[mobeau69]

8. He has no leadership skills whatsoever. He's just like a half-assed used car salesman.

"For courage , not complacency, is our need today; leadership, not salesmanship. And the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead, and lead vigorously. A tired nation -- A tired nation, said David Lloyd George, is a Tory nation. And the United States today cannot afford to be either tired or Tory."

9. He sounded like a robot

Reading words someone else wrote.

[yardwork]

13. That's probably exactly correct.

[sop]

17. It looked and sounded like a hostage video.

[Ohiogal]

18. That's a very accurate description.

Certainly no feeling or emotion ... as if he was being forced to do it.

[HarlanPepper]

10. CNN was praising it

I had to turn the channel

[Volaris]

16. Praising it means---hey look!...he didnt try to suck his own dick on national tv...

He just took it out and stroked it a little. What a good job he did!!!

[ooky]

11. It didn't have any different sound than anytime else he has opened his mouth

about it. Other than blaming Europe for it, so I guess that is kind of an acknowledgment from him that he no longer thinks it is a "hoax".

[Flaleftist]

19. Trump has zero credibility. I don't think there is anything he could have said

to ease the concerns of anyone but his gullible cult followers.
