Trump Gives Himself a 10 Out of 10 for Handling Coronavirus Outbreak

Donald Trump gave his coronavirus response a 10 out of 10, Monday, during a White House press conference on the situation.

“Mr. President, the other day you said that you were not responsible for the testing shortfall. Very simple question, does the buck stop with you and on a scale of one to ten how would you rate your response to this crisis?” A member of the White House press corps asked.

“I’d rate it a 10,” Trump said. “I think we’ve done a great job. And it started with the fact that we kept a very highly infected country, despite all of the even the professionals saying, ‘No, it’s too early to do that,’ we were very, very early with respect to China and we would have a whole different situation in this country if we didn’t do that. I would rate it a very very… I would rate ourselves and the professionals, I think the professionals have done a fantastic job.”

After being asked again “does the buck stop with you?” President Trump responded, “Yeah, normally, but … This has never been done before in this country.”

Trump actually started off saying it was a "hoax." Then he claimed there were only a handful of cases, and those would be gone by the end of the week. What a bullshit artist,

Trump will see the truth. He will lose all 50 states. The con game is over. Only one way he will not lose all 50 states,.............that is.... if Trump resigns

Lock him up.

... by huge margins, and why not FL, OH, NV and maybe AZ also by huge margins!

Georgia and Texas both BLUE by ANY margin would be GREAT!

We would not be in the fix we're in now.

He wanted to save the stock market by not releasing information and coast to re-electioin. In the process he's ruining the whole economy "like it's never been ruined before!" What a guy.

"How you doin' Trump?
"Wel, not so good Charlie. My back's gone out and I cut my finger kinda
Gnarly.
The job's the same and so's the boss. Mitch's still a big ass and my
money got lost.
Melania's sick in bed she says she'll never get well and
All thes candidates today have gone to hell and all that government paperwork
Caught up with me, had to hire a Bill Barr for an outrageous fee.
And I Don't know if the chicken or the egg is to blame, but all things
Considered, I guess I can complain..."
"Cheer up, " Charlies said, "things could be worse."
"Well, yeah, I know, but did I tell you that my party is crap, my
Pelosi's insane, but all things considered, I guess I can compalin..."
CHORUS

He’s really something, constantly building himself up, because deep down he knows he’s empty inside.

White House. You have done nothing for the majority of the American people. You have used your position to line your own pockets and to enrich your millionaire and billionaire cronies.

You will go down in history as the worst president in history. Nothing would make me happier than to see you and your family in prison for the rest of your miserable lives.

Just asking the question is a rhetorical exercise in delusion and grandiosity.

If you were to ask Trump any question that begins with "On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you think you did...", he'd answer "10" before you could even establish what he was being graded on.
