Trump Loses It During Coronavirus Briefing And Rants About Biden

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/03/18/trump-biden-credibility-coronavirus.html

"SNIP.....

Trump cut off a reporter who asked about his lack of credibility then went on a rant about beating Joe Biden in an imaginary poll.

Trump said during the coronavirus briefing, “Who are you asking that question — I see that they’re very high. 95% of the Republican party. We just had a poll that was done by a very reputable group where I’m beating sleepy Joe Biden by a lot in Florida, in the state of Florida and in other states. I don’t really know who you’re talking about.”

Trump was at a briefing about the coronavirus response and refused to answer a question about his lack of credibility. The question is critical because if the American people don’t believe what a president is saying, they aren’t going to listen to him/her.

6. Of course he can't address a question about his credibility. Even he knows he has none.

He's also incapable of a deft pivot, so he comes off sounding exactly like the unfocused, unprepared, uncaring jackass he is. It's criminal that he is still in office at all.

Odd thing about that poll is Medicare for All / Universal healthcare is supported 2:1

And 40% said they did NOT benefit at all from trump’s economy

8. Cable TV needs to stop airing his entire daily forums grandstanding and spewing garbage

In my household, we have stopped watching these pressers since he obviously has decided to substitute them as publicity stunts to replace his campaign rallies to get his fix of being center of attention. Guess he couldn't stand for Pence to get so much attention and good press.

12. Does tRUMP know about Russian plans to make Democratic votes disappear?

That is the only way his republican base can win.

It is very telling that donnie dipshit was flailing everywhere without any plan, until Biden gave his speech addressing COVID-19 and what he would immediately do to turn things around.

Was little donnie whining about the Democrats not helping him, because he expected them to tell him what to do, so he could then turn around and use it as leverage against them to get things he wanted?

Yes, he and his brilliant team was completely lost and needed the Democratic Party to resolve it for him, just so he could take credit for it and extort things he wanted.

There are no doubt various parties looking at ways to benefit from the pandemic and economic crash.
