Asked about his change in tone yesterday, Trump says, "I have seen that, where people actually liked it. But I didn't feel different. I've always known this is a real -- this is a pandemic." He then claims, "I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

"This word--pandemic-it means 'hoax', right? That's what 'pandemic' means. Hoax. Either that, or something relating to panda bears. One of those two things. So yeah, pandemic."

1. All that's surprising about this is he didn't say he had his pandemic removed along with his tonsils

Why, yes, he did. And Lordy, there are tapes.

3. Trump is running for re-election on his handling of this pandemic.

I realized that this morning when I turned on my TV at about 10:30 MDT and saw Trump and crew on camera talking about their unprecedented response.

8. That's not gonna work. He's already screwed it up.

11. People don't know why, they're not connecting the current lack of testing with losing their jobs

... because we can't isolate those who are sick.

Their needs to be those in the DNC who are going to push this meme and do it as a warning for the sake of the country

13. This may be the craziest part...

That we STILL have to worry about him winning the election

In a sane world he would already be tarred and feathered

Instead he may get 4 more years - our final 4 years

5. "I have seen that, where people actually liked it."

This is the telling part of the quote from Trump. The rest is bullshit but even in his lies Trump reveals himself.

He tries to read his audience like any confidence scheme. He reacts to the reaction of the crowds. When he is at his rallies, he is usually energized and bombastic because the crowd is angry and hostile. He eats it up and reflects it back. When he has to give a "sober" speech to the public he is usually subdued, almost appearing sedated. He doesn't like doing that and it is all an act to him as shown in the "hot mic" moment recently captured.

He is a con artist, his actions and affect are typical of people who have both Narcissistic personality disorder and Antisocial personality disorder.

6. Really

He called it something else.

16. A media hoax. Those words are interchangable for him.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Yannow-- it really does take some strange sort of talent to stand up there...

where two days ago you called it a hoax and now say you knew about the seriousness all along.

Maybe 'talent' is the wrong word...

12. It's amazing what can be accomplished when your government is staffed with dedicated ball-lickers...

9. Is that a pandemic in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

He doesn’t have the first clue of what a pandemic is, even still today. He is just letting his lips flap and what ever sound comes out he proclaims as poetry.

10. But .. owning the libs

ama' right?

15. No it just proved to Americans to vote him out. Majority of Americans wanted him convicted
