President Trump in an early morning tweet on Sunday accused the “Fake News Media” of attempting to “make us look bad” on the administration's coronavirus response.

The president called the White House’s plan to combat the growing outbreak in the U.S. “perfectly coordinated and fine tuned.”

“We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend,” he tweeted. “V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!”

We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus. We moved VERY early to close borders to certain areas, which was a Godsend. V.P. is doing a great job. The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to make us look bad. Sad!

I am so looking forward to the day that we have a President who does not constantly complain about how he is being unfairly covered by the media.

1. Ugh.

I always thought that if Katrina has happened one year earlier, Bush would never have been re-elected. Trump is botching this event more.

I beginning to wonder if he is going to find.some excuse to resign.

[cstanleytech]

5. He would only resign if a Republican will be taking his place and will grant him a pardon.

If that does not happen then I fully expect him to flee to some country where he is unlikely to be extradited from to the United States before his final day in office like Russia.

14. If only!

Thanks to Putin and the traitors in the gop, we are stuck with this mess of a human until we vote him out.

[smb]

25. That Might Not Work Out For Him

Once he's no longer useful, Daddy Vladdy will probably serve him a Chef Paul Onium hamberder.

[doc03]

2. Trump doesn't need help from the Fake Media to look bad nt

[captain jack]

3. I'd call him a piece of shit but that's insulting to a piece of shit. Shit can serve a purpose. n/t

[Haggis for Breakfast]

4. No trumpie, you don't need any help making yourself look bad.

you're doing a bang-up job all on your own.

You're an incompetent, lying buffoon, and a threat to our national security.


RESIGN. NOW.

[Skittles]

6. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!

WHY CAN'T HE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

NO ONE HAS TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD, HE DOES THAT ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!

[pat_k]

7. Yep. Perfect. A perfect storm of lies and failures

[captain queeg]

8. What a Self Centered snowflake

Words fail because he keeps going deeper and deeper. When will his followers open their eyes? I guess when they start dying.

[AlexSFCA]

9. even if Ivanka gets the virus he won't change

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

18. He might stop patting her butt.

You can't be too careful.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. You would not believe the level of disbelief at RW sites

Many of them have next to nothing about Covid-19 on their front pages.

An imbecile mistakes anecdotal data for significant data:

Fox this morning interviewed an individual who was quarantined because he tested positive for the virus but never suffered any symptoms then tested positive again. His wife tested positive then came down with a fever that lasted all of 6 hours and that was the end of it........

This is all media driven bull shit..........

Ann Barnhardt, comparing 233 dead in Italy (so far in two weeks) vs 24,000 dead of flu there in 2017, and forgetting that this two weeks has just the first few doublings of many doublings yet to come (in other words stupid lack of understanding):

Given the Italian statistics, the only way this is different than normal seasonal flu is that it is considerably LESS severe.

Bottom line, satan has convinced Christendom, fallen, to commit economic suicide. No actual, real plagues needed. Just gaslighting. And he’s laughing his ass off.

Satan and Diabolical Narcissists consider driving a person to suicide to be the ultimate rush, victory and proof of their elite power over others. That is exactly what is going on here on a macro level. And if you’re angry with me for pointing this out, take it to Our Lord in the Tabernacle and figure out why.

Some voices talk about how unprepared the US is, but have not figured out tRump is to blame for that unpreparedness and ongoing incompetence.

[Initech]

11. NO!!!! You are doing everything possible to make yourself look bad!

The media doesn't even need to edit anything, Chump!

[Scarsdale]

15. Can someone remind me

when was the last time the orange ass looked good? He is a bloated mess.

[Lulu KC]

22. He always looked despicable to me--

but when watching Hillary on Hulu, I noticed that he looks like an actual human being on the Access Hollywood clip. Now he looks like a collage--bloated, painted, with the hair glued on (and partly falling off). It's adding to the horror movie effect. It's all like a horror sci-fi film and his character is perfectly made up and costumed for the part.

[Scarsdale]

23. From the very first time

I had the misfortune to see him, I thought he was repulsive That strangely shaped mouth, the constant bragging, the drama queen actions. He tries to appear to be smart, and fails miserably. He does look like a caricature of himself from many, many years ago. He has NEVER been the "hot stud" he sees himself as.

[Initech]

28. Never. He's never looked good.

[duforsure]

12. trumps failure with his horrible response

Should be more than enough to oust him using the 25th now before he makes its much worse.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Even if Trump could make a cogent argument against "Fake News," how

could/can he explain the news from the rest of the world. THEY'RE doing something productive to combat this virus.

[MissMillie]

16. Credibility,... sucks when you don't have any

spend years exaggerating, stretching, obfuscating, embellishing, and out-right lying, and well, yeah.... even when you do tell the truth (not sure that this is the case this time either) people are going to check into what you're saying.

[Mr. Ected]

17. History will be his harshest critic

Because history will write about things we've yet to experience: the future.

Donald J Trump will not be blamed for the virus itself, of course, but his administration's response will be dissected, scrutinized and pummeled to a fine powder. Trump will be responsible for the loss of many lives. In conjunction with his health care and refugee decisions, Trump has a lot of blood on his tiny little hands.

[Juneboarder]

19. He talks as if nobody has access to media in other parts of the world.

"Fake news"? Give me a flipping break! There are so many stories coming out of China, Japan, Italy, and now starting in the US that do not require any hype of the media for people to rightfully be scared, feel threatened, and lead to what we are seeing today. A great leader would know how to keep the country calm, but ... Trump. Trump is the epitome of failure and will be his own demise.

[Scarsdale]

24. His answer to everything is

accuse the news media of being fake, then go golfing. It cures everything in his tiny little brain.

[Juneboarder]

30. Haha...

Tiny little brain. Tiny little hands. Tiny little (fill in the blank).

What baffles me is how so many people blindly follow this idiot, regardless of how it affects them.

[Scarsdale]

32. It boggles the mind.

He looks like a caricature of a human being, exaggerated to the max. By the way, didn't Ivanka get a trademark on COFFINS along with other items from Jyna? I seem to remember reading that little nugget a while ago.

[Juneboarder]

34. Maybe she's "planning ahead"?

The gravy train's gonna end soon, but I don't think it will be soon enough.

[Lulu KC]

20. "Doing everything possible"

Yup, just say "roll 'em, cameras" and there all the scary and crazy is!

[marble falls]

21. Donnie, Donnie, Donnie: Don't be so modest. You did it yourself.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

26. PANIC is setting in.....Look to the Stock Market......

This is NO hoax, Donnie.

Better stock up on your tan makeup......

[Bengus81]

31. I cashed in my IRA this morning about 30 minutes before the markets opened....

I can't afford to watch Trump run it down to zero with his endless denial and FAKE NEWS claims about the CV. I'll bet that FUCK has posted 30 times on Twitter today. He's still doing it.

[Raven123]

27. Wow, that's a high bar, given how successfully Trump has made himself look bad.

[Newest Reality]

29. Well,

We all know that it is better to look good than to feel good, as Fernando used to say.

I didn't think we would be living it.

[aquamarina]

33. Yes Donald.

Because once again, everything is always the fuck about you. Always.

[SKKY]

35. Well, they don't have to try very hard. In fact, they don't even have to try at all...

...they just report.
