Giant Banana Slug In A Red Hat Tours CDC. Claims To Be Medical Genius. Insults Jay Inslee.

[TrollBuster9090]

Trump's entire presser at the CDC is shown below. Here are some highlights:

14:40 Repeats his 'gut instinct' that the COVID-19 mortality rate is much lower than the reported 3.4%.

15:30 Azar gleefully jumps in to kiss Trump's ass by (incorrectly) claiming that a 'paper' that Dr. Anthony Fauci just published 'today' in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) 'agrees' with everything Trump said.

In fact, it wasn't a paper, it was an editorial. It wasn't published today, it was published Feb. 28th. And Fauci didn't say 'he believed' the mortality rate was less than 1%. He speculated that IF there were large numbers of subclinical cases, THEN the mortality rate MIGHT be lower than 1%. You can read it for yourself. Obviously Azar didn't.

18:40 Trump admits that he gets all his pandemic data from "a great network called Fox News," and that the (COVID19) 'numbers' are 'getting better' from China and Italy (they're not). He then asks the Fox News reporter how their RATINGS were for the show he watched last night.

20:10 Trump bullies a CNN reporter for smiling.

30:50 What the ACTUAL FUCK? Trump has a brain fart, and somehow manages to conflate Coronavirus test kits with "the perfect letter and the perfect transcript." Presumably from the Ukraine affair? I have no idea. Can anyone translate idiocy into English for me, because I'm lost.

40:00 Again repeats his GUT INSTINCT that the mortality rate is much lower than the WHO and CDC calculated number.

40:50 Boasts about how he's a natural MEDICAL GENIUS, who amazes the doctors with his knowledge; and how he should have perhaps spent his life at the NIH than running for President. (Remember: this is the guy who asked Bill Gates...TWICE...to explain the difference between HPV and HIV.)

42:00 (the best for last) Goes on an unhinged, psychotic rant about Washington Governor Jay Inslee being a "snake," and how he has 'a lot of problems' with Inslee. (Why the hell didn't you do this six months ago? You could have BOOSTED Inslee's chances in the Democratic Primary!)

43:30 Blows up at the CNN reporter again for suggesting that Italy might be doing a better job of testing than the USA.

1. such a sick little man

[Haggis for Breakfast]

2. Listen up, you fat incompetent fuck

Jay Inslee is a GREAT governor and actually understands governing and governance. And unlike you, won his elections fair and square and with a CLEAR majority.

3. This is the most malignant, most dangerous man ever to occupy the White House.

The narcissism, the unquenchable ego, the bullying, the ignorance, the need to never be contradicted--it's all on display here. And it's disturbing AF.

4. for the record...

the guy in the goatee to the right of trump is Alex Azar, most people know that.

But I don't think most people know he was CEO of the USA Division of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly,
HE was responsible for jacking up the price of insulin x 3.

So of course trump found him qualified to be HHS head, esp. with new drugs needing to be made and sold.

5. I can't put up with this clumbsy buffoon for another 10 months....

Being embarrassed by this toad is one thing, but having to suffer through his egotistical bull shit and lies is torture. I'd rather be water boarded...but that was the last repuKKKe administration.

[Skittles]

6. Trump says doctors are amazed at his medical knowledge

didn't he just ask if the flu vaccine could be used to combat coronavirus?

[tomhagen]

7. Every day I shake my head; what is this no nothing narcissistic buffoon doing in the Oval Office?

How did he possibly even get there? Will this Orange Nitwit be responsible for 10 million Pandemic deaths?
