(30,613 posts)Next up: Clorox. It kinda rhymes with hydroxycloroquine, so it must be even better, right?

(138 posts)He knows the risks. This is along the same lines of bullshit where:
It's fine for kids to go back to school, but too dangerous for Manafort to be in prison.
Testing is unnecessary and a waste of time unless it's the White House.
This criminal-cum-POTUS, as WE ALL KNOW, will say ANYTHING on the teevee.
Him taking this malaria/lupus drug is simply more Trump bullshit lying.

(138 posts)Media should assume automatically, instantly, that anything Trump says is a bald-faced lie.
They should stop with the "give him the benefit of doubt" routine. It's beyond stale.
Plus, it should be fucking easy for them, if they would merely pretend to be lucid at the pressers.
There's always a "tell" with Trump - e.g., anytime he refers to himself as "sir" in a monologue, he's just made up shit.
And now, for this recent example:
When asked, Trump said this (about his doctor):
"I asked him, 'What do you think?' He said, 'Well if you'd like it.'" I said, 'Yeah I'd like it. I'd like to take it. A lot of people to take it a lot of frontline workers are taking hydroxychloroquine."
The media response to this "tell" (incorrectly attributing behavior to someone) should immediately have been, "No, doctors don't prescribe shit if the patient, you know, would like it - this is another bald-faced lie."
And follow-up, "No, there's no record of frontline workers taking hydroxychloroquine as you're suggesting - please give us specifics and details."
..at which point Trump would angrily refer to the questioner as part of the fake lamestream media, and storm off camera.

(70,204 posts)She is right. She just stated facts. And Trump is a dangerous example for all of us.
Hes our President and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, that is morbidly obese, they say. So I think it's not a good idea.

(38,187 posts)but S.E. Cupp has a point. I am normally against fat shaming, but as much as Trump treats women like shit, AND fat shames them too, let him take some shit himself for a while. He's no Twiggy, himself. Let him take some shit back for his slovenly appearance. He's disgusting. Why should men get away with being disgusting but women are constantly called every name in the book for not being plastic and fake and shaped just perfectly enough? Fuck Trump. Let him take his lumps.

Let me end the suspense. Trumps called multiple women fat, slobs, pigs, dogs. He bragged about grabbing us by the pussy. He attacked female journalists and wishes wed be more like a subservient 1950s housewife. So, yeah. When Pelosi calls him obese I find it f*cking hilarious.

(33,339 posts)He is either morbidly obese or he is not. If he claims he is not, let's see the measurements that prove him correct.
I suspect that the Grotesque Orange Pustule does not even understand that the term "morbidly obese" is not fat shaming.

(10,167 posts)The King fell from his Graceand throne onto the bathroom floor, where was found dead in a pool of his own vomit. I can foresee something similar happening to Trump, found dead on the floor, next to his golden throne at Mar-a-Lago.

(33,515 posts)Of course, there's no one to play the Eva Braun role in the Reich Chancellery, but there are similarities inasmuch as both fascists were surrounded by sycophants at the end who were incredibly clueless about the realities of the outside world.
Aristus
(66,328 posts)Fat, disgusting, and culturally irrelevant?
No, that's where Trump started
With any luck, he's moving into his Jabba the Hutt phase; morbidly obese, overconfident, blind to the strength of those rising against him, and if he keeps up the hydroxychloroquine, gasping helplessly for breath as he flings his tub of suet around...
CaptainTruth
(6,589 posts)He was a great singer & performer but in a way he built his career on other people's work (other artists' songwriting).
Trump has built his career on other people's work, but unlike Elvis, he has no talent.

(5,640 posts)Elvis was a flawed human like us all. He loved his mother deeply and had insecurities. He was pushed by the industry he was in to produce music he did not really feel like recording and thus he fell into a pattern of eating and drug abuse that no one helped him to overcome because he was their cash king.
Dump is a narcissistic, hate filled, ignorant racist who eats McDonalds because he is afraid of some enemy poisoning him.
I guess I see the superficial comparison, just hate to compare such an obviously evil person to someone who was a pretty good guy who died because of a disease. Addiction is a disease.
Sorry, I loved Elvis...
