🤥Lying POTUS🤥 Lying “Live” About “The Chinese Virus” Part 4

He is sounding very nasal today. more so than usual. No sleep? Cocaine?

They’re wasting military resources on drug busts while the nation drowns in its own mucus?

Who that that crazy babbling general? Lord he made trump seem sane!

CNN & MSNBC cut away from the uniforms conference.

I feel like he is deflecting with this sudden Drug Mission to throw Yamiche and Jim Acosta off so they won't have any prepared questions.

CBSN cut away also.

WTF, this is bizarre. Cuomo is throwing things at this tv in Albany I'm sure.

President distract and ignore - WTF are we listening about drug wars for now? How can anyone watch these kiss-ass sessions and not feel embarrass that this is the date of our Presidency?

I'd ask why he doesn't have the different branches of the Armed Forces bid against each other for supplies and equipment.

I mean, what, is the Federal Government "a shipping clerk"?!

That was really disgusting.

This clearly is not a C-V briefing.

Omg. Maybe this diversion means the virus crisis is over.

The American people want info on the virus.

Rum being nice. Yeah right. The day he goes down I will be dancing in the street.

He should let those guys behind him get back to work.

I’m not an accountant from China. He is truly a monster.

Oooh, now he's threatening a big retaliation, if Iraq does something! Like never seen before!

Now praising his alleged trade deal with China, and claiming "our farmers are being paid $50 billion...."

Then why are we subsidizing them?

Is Pence stuck at the printer or copier waiting for more of his blue and white cards to print out?

Where are Fauci and Birx? Consulting with their lawyers to make sure narcissist can't place any culpability on them which is his M.O.

NOW the Big Lie is "We'll soon have more ventilators than we need"!!!!!!!!!

Trump is ordering from Walmart!!!!!

AKA, CHINA!!!!!!!

Trump is killing people with his stupidity.

Now he’s back to “how can these hospitals possibly need all the masks they’re ordering?”

I really don't care if people take drugs.

Walmart. The Wall. The Wall. Walmart.

[quote]NOW the Big Lie is "We'll soon have more ventilators than we need"!!!!!

Next up: “We’re testing MORE than any other country!”

I would Love to stick the wall up his ass

Very powerful air power.

CNN really puts rump in his place

oh god. “I’m #1 on Facebook, did you know that? I have millions of people.”

Does he ever listen to a question in its entirety before answering?

He's Number One on Facebook ... and on the International Shit List.

Mr President - Your handling of the Chinese virus and the Mexican gangs and the cheap Jews and radical Muslim Obamas is causing the liberal lying media to have meltdowns. How do you keep yourself so handsome while single handedly saving us from our enemies?

Not bad enough we have to worry about the virus. Now we have to worry about nuclear war. Rump would kill us all to save face.

Dickhead

I miss Dr Tony and even the scarf lady. They make me feel like someone is reasonable working with Rump.

DeSantis stroked tRump in his briefing today when he finally issued order for Florida to stay home starting TOMORROW, not last week or during spring break, tomorrow 4/2.

I wish they would catch the ‘bad people’ talking right now.

I think he comes off worse when he tries to act humble.

I’m so diverted! The man is a genius!

Phew... there’s Fauci! Was having withdrawals. Why the fuck was he spending sooo much time chatting about drug wars? He’s such a joke.

Last-tag repeated slam at John Kerry before abruptly departing.

Somebody needs to ask him when he's scheduled for "the rest of" that purported start to his annual physical, and is dementia included?

Oh, Jeez, he's back.

Christ, he is such a piece of shit. Nice try, Donnie boy.

Can no one call him on his disgusting lies? God he makes me sick, I pray that some day he goes to prison where he belongs.

How come they don’t put orange makeup under his eyes ?

New York doesn’t love you

[quote]Mr President - Your handling of the Chinese virus and the Mexican gangs and the cheap Jews and radical Muslim Obamas is causing the liberal lying media to have meltdowns. How do you keep yourself so handsome while single handedly saving us from our enemies?

He's open to "finding help, if it can help."

DONALD TRUMP YOU MAKE ME SICK

I’m in hell. This virus had made me watch a Rump rally.

Now he's hepped up on bringing back tax deductions for strip-club "business lunches."

Russian-Mob-owned places must be putting the squeeze on Trump.

How many fucking times has this fool said “no one’s seen anything like it”?

"Things". I hate that.

“Billions of dollars worth of THINGS. No one’s done anything like it.

Serious query: How does Trump form his mouth in that jutting-and-pursing of lips style?

They have ships all over the sea.

^^^I don't know but Alec Baldwin has it down pat in his impersonation.

He knows what to do to solve it (falling oil prices.)

Heret what Trump might have informed us of, if he had to pick a topic other than C-V:.

How, as he speaks, his Administration is working assiduously to rollback environmental laws, in a perverse homage to Earth Day 50.

It’s gonna go up very quickly. Or maybe slowly.

Oh my FUCKING GOD... Why?

Dr. Birx’s teeth are scary.

R59 I never noticed it before but her front teeth are discolored. It looks like meth mouth.

And BTW, if it is not yet abundantly clear, Trump the Sociopath, the Narcissist, the Demented, is looking forward to "horrific days" ahead.

He hates this country. US banks stopped lending to him. We citizens denied him the Popular Vote, then gave him a small Inaugural crowd that his narcissistic mind couldn't allow to go without challenge, photographic proof notwithstanding.

The short version? He wishes us dead.

And he hates Germany for three reasons: he despises Merkel; Germany kicked out his Grandfather the Draft-Dodger; and Russia hates Germany.

Remember: When Trump sat with some schoolchildren to draw our flag, he started with a horizontal blue stripe.....as on the Russian flag.

Now Dt Tony is a 80 year old I wouldn’t mind as President.

Has everyone stopped watching?

Has anyone started watching?

I'm still watching. I temporarily went over to the "scarf lady" thread. Consensus there is she acts like a pageant contestant and is too cheery.

Pence's turn to lie. "Commercial labs now processing tens of thousands of tests..."

I guess he's given up on his Immortal Soul!

Did Trump laugh at the Veep and (nicely) call him and obfuscating liar concerning health care coverage? I could have sworn that's what he was doing.

So Fauci and Birx have to stand there while the imbecile says scarves are better than masks?

Will donald have the decency to acknowledge Governor Cuomo's family and his brother's battling Coronavirus?

Scarf lady is also wearing a turtleneck today.

[quote]Before the briefing began, a representative of the correspondents association asked OANN’s Rion to leave the room because it wasn’t her day to attend, but she refused, claiming she was there “as a guest of Stephanie Grisham,” the press secretary

I love the honesty of her teeth. She dresses smartly and presents well, but her teeth represent the truth and our future.

The local channels went back to regularly scheduled programming with that fuckhead Bill Barr came on. Not that it mattered, we already had Trump's early top ten hit 'Let's Bomb Iran!' playing alongside his newest single 'Fuck The Cartels: The Wall 2' before there was any real talk of the coronavirus. These briefings just need to end, everyone feels the same way.

R71: is she the guest of Stephanie Grisham to whom we pay a double salary (as press secretary to both Acting POTUS and his FLOTUS) yet never witness her public job performance? *That* Stephanie Grisham?!

These grifters are swinging titanium balls!

I love how the right wingers on Twitter go nuts that the evil MSM is no longer broadcasting the Dump shitshow. Why do you care? Watch your Dark Lord lying on your favorite network Faux News.

R74 Oh yeah, baby. She’s bff with Ivanka too.

Didn't he claim that tons of hospitals were being built like never before? He was referring to tent "hospitals", was he not?

Each and every day, while he treats these pressers as a fill-in for his Nuremburg rallies, we're actually seeing the disintegration of a Presidency.

Imagine him gleefully defending the deaths of a quarter of a million Americans while giving himself high marks for a job well done. The lunacy!

Ivanka looks like she's headed toward Dr. Scarf neck.

Agree r78. She’s really showing her age.

I just voted on a poll whether or not Trump is doing a good job or not. I think it is a trick one question was about the Democrats the choices were 1) they want to help the president 3) they are only doing their political gain. Helping the resident is helping Donald Trump. The guy on the commercial looked like a classic republican

If you want to vote text GROW to 39747

Is she covering up hickeys or just her neck wattle?

I think you just got suckered into some Rethuglican propaganda site like Judicial Watch, R80.

[Quote]Before the briefing began, a representative of the correspondents association asked OANN’s Rion to leave the room because it wasn’t her day to attend, but she refused, claiming she was there “as a guest of Stephanie Grisham,” the press secretary

They voted to exclude OANN from future briefings apparently.

Trump is like "Why was she excluded? She asked all the softball question I love to answer and always reminds everyone how great I am."

R83 They really did.

[quote]”WHCA Board has voted this evening to remove a news outlet from the rotation for a seat in the briefing room. We did this because a reporter for this outlet twice attended press briefings in contravention of this policy,” WHCA’s Jon Karl says. “This is a matter of public safety.”

OANN is not even a ‘news outlet.’ It’s Trump’s personal propaganda outlet.

R82 not a troll know I want suckered. It was a commercial it says NEWSMAX.POLL. THERE is small black print I can't read. Let me get closer. It just says charges may apply.

NewsMax is a conservative outlet that very much supports DT

And the parade of ass-kissing continues unchecked.

I knew that jerk in the commercial looked like a Repug. I should have done a search. I was excited about finally getting a chance to vote on a poll.

Newsmax Media also operates a print magazine called Newsmax as well as the cable news channel Newsmax TV. The website has been described as influential in American conservative circles. In 2015, Newsmax was ranked the third most trafficked political news website in the United States by comScore.

Chris Ruddy (CEO of NewsMax), a friend of President Donald Trump, said he believes the President is considering dismissing special counsel Robert Mueller. CNN's Alex Marquardt reports.

How many people have to die before Trump is removed from office?

[quote]OANN is not even a ‘news outlet.’ It’s Trump’s personal propaganda outlet.

Isn't a news outlet anything an Administration deems it to be? I ask in all seriousness because early on in the Trump Administration I distinctly recall a GateWay Pundit (of all blogs) reporter attending a press conference and asking questions.

I don't know how this works. I recall the Obama Administration tried to ice out FOX but all of the media stuck with FOX and threatened to boycott all pressers unless FOX was allowed. Look where that got them...

So, Trump is trying to kill us here in NYC? I'm listening to Rachel Maddow and she reported that the navy ship "Comfort" has less than 5 patients and the Javits Center has less than 10 because they are non-coronavirus facilities as deemed by the federal government. Meanwhile the hospitals are busting at the seams.

R92 he’s Frances Farmer having his revenge on Seattle

If it means anything, I keep seeing Fox News listed as an entertainment channel. Do they do this to remove any responsibility from factual reporting so they won't get sued for misinformation? If they herald themselves under that label, as an entertainment channel, isn't that telling in itself?

[quote]If it means anything, I keep seeing Fox News listed as an entertainment channel. Do they do this to remove any responsibility from factual reporting so they won't get sued for misinformation?

Yes, they do.

Why hasn't Lorne concocted a satire of these pressers with Baldwin and put it out on Youtube?

Terrifying.

The Javits Center and the ship were never intended for COVID-19 patients. they want to fill the hospitals with COVID up to capacity and every other type of hospital care goes elsewhere.

New York did NO infrastructure for quarantine of COVID-19 patients with mild sickness. This was done in the Asia response.

Who knows what we will find in 3 weeks time in the Metropolitan area. Hopefully not like Italy where in fact thousands have died at home, have not been counted, and never were tested.

Not true at all, r91.

R96, Maybe because the underlying reality is neither funny nor enough in the past.

[quote]Not true at all, [R91].

Gateway Pundit: Pro-Donald Trump blog granted White House press credentials--Gateway Pundit published false reports about Hillary Clinton's health and voter fraud/ Andrew BuncombeNew York @AndrewBuncombe Tuesday 14 February 2017 19:10

What's True--President Obama attempted to delegitimize Fox News by calling their oppositional stance "destructive" for the country, took questions from Fox News correspondents less frequently than he did from those of other major networks in press briefings, and his administration expressed a willingness to exclude Fox reporters from interviews with top officials.

Also R99;

The White House attempted to block Fox News from a round of interviews with “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg Thursday, but the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks included in the White House pool refused to interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.

Fox News says that the White House “failed in its attempt to manipulate other news networks into isolating and excluding Fox News.”

The attempt to shut Fox News out was the latest move in the administration’s ongoing battle against the cable news channel, which several senior administration officials have claimed is not a legitimate news organization.

The decision by the network bureau chiefs to stand with Fox News is one of the first instances of the mainstream media defending Fox News against the White House’s claims.

“I’m really cheered by the other members saying “No, if Fox can’t be part of it, we won’t be part of it,’” Baltimore Sun TV critic (and regular Fox News detractor) David Zurawik said Thursday.

White House Grants Press Credentials to a Pro-Trump Blog ...www(dot)nytimes(dot)com › 2017/02/13 › business › the-gateway-pundit-trump Feb 13, 2017 - Gateway Pundit gained notice for its support of the Trump campaign and for posting false stories about voter fraud and Hillary Clinton's health.

SCARIER than the Covid 19 is the coming economic collapse which will be FAR WORSE than the depression of the 1930's.

I disagree r103, I really do. And it’s not wishful thinking... but I do think we’ll have a recession on a par w 2008, maybe worse...

Who fucking cares about the economy when millions of people will have senselessly died?

Anyone prioritizing finances over human life doesn’t deserve to live in a society. You are literally unfit for society.

Adam Schiff telling it like it is. Why is Schiff never mentioned as a VP candidate or better yet Presidential candidate.

R106 Schiff would make a great president, but I guess he's not flashy enough for us dumb Americans.

Trump called it a hoax. Trump still decided to golf. Trump still had MAGA hate rallies. Trump knew about it in January. Trump chose to cover it all up. Trump is attacking blue state Governors. Trump is sabotaging efforts. Trump chooses to lie.

Trump owns every death. Trump has blood on his hands.

Here we go.

Why does he make the people he’s appearing with line up on the stage looking like a prison lineup before he makes his grand entrance?

SBA woman kissing Ivanka's ass along with the requisite others.

Who are these people?

No health experts today?

Trump looks tired. Do you think the seriousness of all this is finally feeling real to him?

Oh, we’re bashing Obama.

Trump looks like he is about to topple over

This stuff he's reading is something he should know.

He just can't help himself. What a nasty man.

Nooooooooooooooo Jared's going to speak.

"We have a wartime President behind me."

Oh shut the fuck up.

So, all supply is going into the commercial system. Only a few companies are getting rich?

It boggles the mind how much chaos exists in the White House. We'll be lucky if we all don't die.

Trump doesn’t answer questions. He just blusters.

And MSNBC cuts out in mid sentence by Trump saying we are not getting any new information.

Annddd CNN cuts out.

I listened to it while driving and he didn’t come off as a total idiot like usual and every word wasn’t bragging about what a good job he is doing. I have grown to dislike a Scarf Lady I think she likes numbers more than people.

The ass kissing by that little guy is obscene - the “Harvard” guy he appointed to run things a few days ago. The level of ass kissing is just excruciating to listen to - embarrassing even for a third world dictator.

Cuomo praising Pelosi in his briefing today. Andy better be prepared for a whole new level of spite and retaliation coming his way from the Narcissist In Charge and his ghoulish son-in-law.

Can’t believe Dump never heard of an infrared thermometer. He was amazed that such things exist - very few people know about them I guess. And then he said that ventilators are very complicated machines, know one knew about that either apparently. What a putz. And then Pence follows up minutes later to tell us people are retrofitting other devices to use as ventilators because ventilators are really very *simple* machines. Geez the incompetence.

I don't feel like watching today. Probably will miss something good.

[quote] I have grown to dislike a Scarf Lady I think she likes numbers more than people.

I prefer Fauci but he’s an exception to the rule we often forget: most doctors are science geeks. Your average touchy feely liberal arts type couldn’t make it through med school. So different temperaments. She’s also ex-Army. And did a boatload of work on AIDS/HIV. I’m not mad about her either most days but I think she knows her stuff for the most part, she probably just cannot cope with the politics of this hopeless place she’s working these days.

CDC is recommending to wear face covering. Trump just said it's voluntary and "I won't be doing it."

His “hair” is really weird today. And his eyes are very pink.

Whoa - Dr Scarf is wearing a shawl today.

What was "artificially induced"?

CNN says Fauci was EXCLUDED from this briefing. What now?

Trump "It's getting better".

R136 Fauci said earlier that he doesn't know why we don't have a national shutdown. I'm sure that pissed Trump off.

What was "artificially induced?"

Do these guys even get that we are losing this battle? We have a quarter of the cases in the world and the death toll is doubling every three days. All this positive messaging isn’t changing that.

That beautiful resolute desk....

Someone from the CDC should be present at these briefings.

[quote]Do these guys even get that we are losing this battle? We have a quarter of the cases in the world and the death toll is doubling every three days. All this positive messaging isn’t changing that.

It's all about perception...

Does the Attorney General have a slight speech impediment? A lisp?

Trump says a whole lot of nothing which is exactly what's in his brain.

He ALWAYS knew pandemics could happen....

It's a bit of a sashay voice, r144.

Jim Acosta is pushing Trump's buttons with excellent questions.

Somebody is over-medicated this afternoon.

I hate when he says "I allowed..."

These briefings make Trump feel powerful as he picks out reporters, insults them, and cuts off questions.

So! Trump just said to hell to New York. "No more ventilators for you!"

"...never involved with the model, at least this kind of model..." -Donald Trump, 4/2/2020

A projected mortality rate of north of 200,000 requires a bit levity, don't you think?

Can we all agree on that?

Ooops. correction, 4/3/2020

So which is it-- is it a CDC "recommendation" or a "suggestion" that we wear face coverings? donald seems to be disputing the CDC, and the CDC guy is at odds with himself/his agency.

Are donald and Jared selling "our" ventilators to overseas markets and pocketing the proceeds?

[quote]Are donald and Jared selling "our" ventilators to overseas markets and pocketing the proceeds?

Yep, and they're getting their taste.

[quote]Omg. Maybe this diversion means the virus crisis is over.

Oh, can it? Will it? What we need to know is what started the virus...how it has spread, and if it was made in a laboratory to create havoc, or was it accidentally leaked out? We need to know the origin now!

We'll see what happens.

Dr. Birx lays the smack on the WHO. Of course that will be ignored.

The states should have had enough ventilators

Nobody saw this coming and could know how huge it would be. ( Said to cover his gelatinous, criminally negligent ass.)

Both said by Trump and both will be bought by Trump's knuckle-dragging, stupid Trump Rabidians.

I refuse to watch these daily shit shows but I just saw a clip and he looks even more red faced than usual. Could this be the day he strokes out? (fingers crossed)

How shocking that outsourcing manufacturing, including that of medical supplies, to China of all places would be catastrophic in the event of global pandemic. Instead saying so is considered racist.

I’ve read too much of the news today and made the mistake of watching part of the presser. I’ve never been so angry and ashamed of our country. I just pray that other people feel this way too and remember it come election time.

Today was a parodist's challenge.

"Our" means either "the United States of America"; or "the Federal Government, it's big"; or "for the country." Or maybe "the states, because the states are part of the country"; "but 'our' is for us to see where it's needed, and then we can give things to the states that need them."

"I knew you would ask that 'gotcha ..It's such a basic, simple question. You know what 'our' means? The United States of America. You oughta be ashamed of yourself. It's such a simple question. He said 'our,' and 'our' means 'for the country.'...The states are part of the country."

PART OF!!???

The biggest lie was that "the previous administration's tests were not good."

The previous administration did not have a test for a virus that did not exist.

And, the Newspapers and TV news should cover the FACT that the Feds very much fucked up the tests from January through end of Feb. They developed a SHIT TEST and refused Asian and European expertise.

BLOODLY LYING KILLERS = TRUMP ADMIN

I know, I know r163, it was a pathetic, ignorant shit-show as usual from Trump.

I can't not watch, though, because the moment I do, I JUST KNOW Trump will suddenly, finally, mercifully topple over dead and I'll miss seeing it on live TV.

I’m still hoping he will get the virus. He is old and not in great health to begin with. If he gets it, Pence and Mnuchin and a bunch of others could get it too.

I consciously avoided the last several pressers. Felt so much better. Saw part of this one, now depressed and frustrated. He is incompetent, but he lives on media presence...good or bad, doesn't matter. Just keep him on TV, twitter, SM. Paying any attention to him at all is like putting out a fire with gasoline. Best to let the fire die out on its own.

What r164 said.

Indulge me for a minute as I'm about to be Pollyanna. Maybe it's good that these pressers/faux rallies are on every day. Everyone is trapped at home, forced to watch them. Maybe some people are actually seeing the incompetence and crazy for the first time, in real time. I don't think these things ultimately will work in his favor.

Then again, it may not matter if we can't vote in November. Good night, I'll be over at the liquor cabinet.

R169 Nope, this was the mistake in 2016. He was such a shit show that media carried him relentlessly. It only amplified his presence and support. Covering him 24/7, thinking he would be "exposed", did his advertising for him.

His a virus.. .he needs to be isolated.

Sirius is letting people access their content for free during the pandemic. Yesterday, I listened to Howard Stern's interview with Hillary Clinton. She was so serene, well-spoken, and direct. So...presidential.

Thanks, r171

Don't watch the fat fool. I don't. Fuck that traitor.

I've been watching Cuomo's pressers for the last two weeks. He's direct, to the point and speaks well.

He understands the long game here and says exactly what needs to happen to keep the deaths from spiraling out of control. He's very angry and frustrated that he can't get the equipment he needs

Anyway - stop listening to the orange fool. I don't even live in New York but I listen to Cuomo because what NY is going thru now will be hitting my state soon enough. Same for the rest of you.

Turn the idiot off. Andrew was saying today that when he put out a call for healthcare volunteers to come help the stat, they had over 20,000 people respond. The way he described it made me get all teary eyed and it wasn't anything stirring or lofty. He just said that if you ask the American people to help, we will always come through and we need that sort of spirit now more than ever.

Much more informative and coherent (and a little hopeful) than the fat orangey traitor.

Yep, Cuomo is a must watch and I don't live in NY either. c-span.org has Cuomo's daily briefings.

R159 But he knew it was a pandemic before anyone else knew it was a pandemic. So how can he say no one saw this coming when he literally said he saw it coming before anyone else.

It's impossible to keep track of his lies.

R175 We also have Senators that were briefed on this in February and dumped their hospitality stocks before the shit hit the fan. THAT story seems to have gone away very quickly with the daily distractions of Cheetolini's rose garden rallies.

Where are the insider trading investigations?????

He lies from one sentence to the next. I think it will be a decade most people can wake up to the staggering onslaught the USA and world went through under this colossal tool. It's such a tornado, by design, people can't cope and stop processing it. This includes the media.

FUCK Dr.birx that bitch is COMPLICIT. Going for weeks knowing how much trouble we were in and how woefully ill prepared in but not saying the truth in time to save lives because of president fat piece of shit Donny? Deaths on her head too.

OP, do you really think Donald Trump lies to the American public?

Don't they have a special intern that keeps track of their lies for them? I also wonder if they get new everyday memos requiring them to finger point at the Democrats/China/Obama administration. It's all so shameless.

R179 Yes, I know he does.

I've come to believe that everything he says is a tic. Not lying, not dissemblance, but something pathological, a Pavlovian reaction. The same pathetic responses, the same unconvincing, pointless catch-phrases over and over again don't indicate any kind of processing or consideration of a given question but a programmed robotic response.

Why did he state that it was “artificially induced”? Was he trying to give us a hint?

The miscreant is holding his daily rally at 3:30.

Re-scheduled for 4:00.

WH Briefing soon. Nicole Wallace is on MSNBC now.

I predict Jim Acosta or Yamiche Alcindor will ask the stable genius about the IG he fired and he will call it a "nasty question".

What is an "IG"

his tie is different color depending on the feed

R188 The inspector general of the intelligence community. The one who made sure Congress saw the Ukraine whistleblower’s complaint.

Thank you

This guy here! It's not even 5 minutes in and he attacks someone! This time the media. They should ROAST his ass.

Already ad libbing about the lying Fake News in his opening statement.

Does he write his own stuff or just supplement what someone else wrote with weird ad libs and repetition? He seems to be having a hard time reading today.

NOW, he's sending more help to New York? He must have seen numbers that show Florida being wiped out and now he's scared.

He’s cranky because he hasn’t had any Marine One helicopter or AF1 rides or motorcades to his golf courses for weeks now. He loves that shit.

This fucking gasbag.

He's saying it's on the states, and when they carry the load and turns this thing around, as if we don't know he'll claim ALL the credit.

R194 He alternates between reading his prewritten speech notes and ad libbing.

I thought R188 was predicting an alternate Trump reply.

"Theres's going to be a lot of death" and "we have to open our country again." Kind of a dissonant message.

[quote]Does he write his own stuff or just supplement what someone else wrote with weird ad libs and repetition? He seems to be having a hard time reading today.

He has writers (Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner--Great, huh?) who writes in his voice of which he approves. He gives his nonsense and then they see via the media of how bad it was received and then he changes it.

Trump still does not get the severity of this crisis. For him to truly get it will require the death of someone very close to him.

"We have to get back to work very soon". Screw him.

R198 You can see him marking his place on the speech notes with his finger, like a 10-year old reading a book report in front of the class.

Him and the Repugs want us to go back. Soon.. That their sorry asses go back. He is such a hypocrite. Talking about others playing politics.

“We hope it will be okay, but we’ll see. I think it will be okay.” So reassuring.

Incompetence is one thing, (we survived W's Katrina fiasco). But this man is willfully lying, giving bad advice, and breaking laws on a daily basis. Every day he's allowed to remain in office, more people will die. It's indisputable! At the very least, these pressers must stop!

Why can't anyone do anything about this? I just don't get it!!

“We’ll see what happens.”

Really r201? A sociopath is dead inside.

His notes.

I don't see how it's possible to stop this pandemic here in the USA unless we go on a national lockdown and all flights (except cargo) are grounded.

Washington has been good following the Federal (HIS) guidelines??? He's insane! Washington was taking action LONG before the Federal (HIM) government did anything!

Listen to all of these actions that are "supposedly" suppose to happen now! Governors have been begging and screaming for weeks for this type of assistance. Ugh...

Is he not aware someone has taken the drug and died?

You fucking idiot You need to check it out BEFORE you tell millions of people.

He FEELS like he can positive think a cure.

“We’re spending community dollars like you wouldn’t believe.”

Wait a minute.... "Houses of worship are eligible for money????"

WHAT?

My hatred of this monster has no limit.

Did he say everyone would be getting the same paychecks?

Is this Michale Stipe adjacent doctor gay?

"We must get back to work!" Projecting again.

Then he tells us that "they," meaning US, are "getting to know THEIR (meaning OUR) families better, and that's a beautiful thing." Why would he or his writers presume to tell us what we KNOW we are experiencing?!

Why are they all jumping right to good news for USA when its not the moment at all. There isn't even 100% lockdown in USA. Mitigation?

Get the people into their homes.

"It's soooo CONTA-A-AGIOUS!"

Ya think?

Fauchi has very elegant manicures

My god they are creating "good news" fluff out of ZILCH. Hopefully hopefully hopefully.....

And states are not locked down.

Dr Tony is getting on the going back soon bandwagon. He has sold his soul.

It's quite disgusting to witness.

“There are states that are big land.” This fool can’t even speak.

Making American Sick Again

You don’t speak for me asshole.

“Some restaurant man called and said he’s worried.”

"In my opinion". His opinion is shit.

Everyone will be close in the stadiums and there will be hotdogs and movie theaters, and little restaurants, and lollipops and unicorns just like you always have on this earth

Why would a small businessman call him?

OH MY FUCKING GDD: Why do we have to listen to this fat fucking PIECE OF SHIT go on and on and on, trying to show leadership by reading aloud names of people and sport commissioners, and nevertheless doing it so poorly, And OH FUCKING GOD why must our weary souls listen to him HISS how that the states couldn't possibly need the life-sustaining equipment and are just selfishly playing politics. How can You allow this?

Will be looking for divine intervention, OH MY FUCKING GOD .

It's incredible, restaurants will go back to the original for what they are doing and it will be wonderful like before and like nothing you have ever seen and executives will have reductions and it will never be the same but it will be incredible and wonderful

SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW SHIT SHOW

In other words it’s not my station who care if people die.

Here we go, a question about firing the Inspector General.

R233 Lies.

So Trump has repeatedly criticized Governors for not having the foresight that he nor his Administration had, to buy and stockpile months and years ago.

TODAY he declared that "some states have more ventilators than they need."

Isn't that doing precisely what Trump lambasted them for NOT doing??

And HTH would HE (or the Undead Jared) know what states "need"?!

Just as Trump exceeds the Circles of Hell and the 7 Deadly Sins, so, too, do we need a new word that means "worse than the worst evil, beyond Satanic."

Please stop me from watching this.

Please stop me from watching this.

It was a perfect call, and its a perfect wall, and this is a perfect management of a perfect pandemic, that's what they call it, a pandemic, and we're doing better than anyone and I get all the stars, really big ratings, the best ratings

The tape of what was actually said between him and the Pres of Ukraine is sitting in a hermetically sealed, bolted, guarded by poisonous snakes and spiders vault in the WH.

He's not sedated today.

Everyone on the stage just staring straight ahead during this rant.

How many Benzos does Dr. Scarf Lady take before each of these shit shows?

“Someone should sue his ass off.” Nice one.

Right, He seems wired today.

Who asked the question and Trump called a disgrace?

gracious gracious gracious

you have to say "Thank You Sir" to this Mussolini

Cuomo wasn't "gracious" enough in his briefing today, didn't provide the narcissist enough "supply".

Id give my right hand if he had an aneurysm right now talking about his perfect transcript. No both hands.

I can't be the only person who notices that the "tone" and "narrative" they spin - changes every 2 days. Its like whiplash.

Every day he gets even smaller and pettier.

He actually called another politician corrupt. One Republican voted against him.

Why did Lincoln get assassinated while this bastard gets to breathe ?

What a shitshow. So the citizens of the US only get necessary supplies to save their lives when their governor is willing to kiss Trump's ass and is "gracious."

I increase my health immunity by spitting out "motherfucker" whenever he comes on TV and I change the channel. I come here for the synopsis.

And please New Yorkers, ensure my faith in you is not misplaced--when the Kushners return to the city, make every day of their lives a misery. Never let them forget your contempt.

It scares me when they talk about data from China, Italy and other states scares me. Our lives shouldn’t be determined by a graph.

Stopping people from China from coming to the US in January. The only thing the mf did in 2 months to stop the virus and he must have repeated the same statement 500 times now

This man is a fucking embarrassment!

We are going to surpass the other countries in the world for total deaths!

Death rates are stabilizing in Spain, not going down. Infections are going up (more testing) Spain is losing 900+ a day. There is NOT good news from Spain.

Liars on stage in USA

The letter told the truth about Rump.

He said Joe Biden isn't watching right now but if he is, he doesn't understand what he is watching.

Once again, everything Trump does makes exquisite sense when viewed through the lens of "Russian agent."

He wants, Putin wants, us dead.

We denied Trump the Popular Vote; we gave him a sparsely-attended Inaugural crowd; we impeached him. Trump hates America.

Make American Graves Abundant.

Some some disciple of Satan writes for you Rump.

Oh thank God he stopped Chinese from coming into the country! That’s why we don’t have any COVID19 in this country. Oh, wait - our outbreak is worse than theirs.

R257, Check today's date. 1968.

Dr Birx is thinking don't stand so close to me.

Dr. FAUCI - why aren't all states "stay at home". Mitigation??????

OMG! Capt. Crozier "wrote a letter. He wrote a LETTER!"

Meanwhile, Moloch Trump pardoned a convicted WAR CRIMINAL!!!!;

It doesn’t even matter if he’s doing the best he can, because he is failing miserably.

He's a mean old man.

Rump wear suits that are way too big to cover up how fat he has gotten. I know because I do the same with my clothes.

Do we still have a working Cabinet?

R5 You are absolutely correct. The business about drug busts and sending Naval ships to patrol down to South America is just a deflection from the CoronaV plus that gives him an opportunity to show why he can't use Defense funding for the pandemic. He's got to get those huge naval ships down South America way.

Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, AG

I think the important word was “working” cabinet.

No cabinet member today, all offering nothing relevant to the CV press conference; they're only there to asskiss Trump. It's Saturday, maybe he gave them the day off. So far, my favorite was Ben Carson. He looked like he was asleep until the President called on him and then he mumbled something and went back to sleep.

Ooooh, he's coming unglued!

Plant! No one gives a damn about Barron.

He reminds me of a VERY CRANKY ancient retired teacher they would haul into substitute teach, back when I was a kid in the 60s.

I think.. I heard... There's a rumour... It's a feeling... It's just a hunch... You should check it out...

Social distancing is working BUT we need to open the country because this country wasn't built to be closed. People want to go back to work. They are at home getting paid to do nothing. They don't want the money. They want to work.

Wow...

He's gone off the rails bigly this time. It actually makes me see red whenever this thing speaks.

No one cares about your opinion.

R283 Good call!

He wants to open us up so we start using oil again. He is invested in the Saudi/Russia oil fight.

40,000 Chinese have been let in the country AFTER Trump put his travel ban in effect.

No, he doesn't care. I remember watching the live execution of Nicolae & Elena Ceaușescu when I was very young and wondering if I'd ever see that transpire here.

He's going crazy with his hands today.

I always felt that the best way to live is isolated in a penthouse and on empty gold courses.

gold haha. GOLF courses

The people on that stage keep backing further and further away from him as he continues his bizarre rambling and rants.

His psychosis is on full display today.

Is it still going on?

R288 But he just said we've built the largest supply in the world. Did you know that? He knows that, so it has to be true.

Invoke the 25th Amendment and kill this shitshow of an administration before millions die of this pandemic.

R293 Absolutely!!

R261, And the bitter truth is that he did NOT at that time and afterwards prevent planes from China from landing here and discharging passengers, some from Wuhan, with no airport checks of any kind.

40K returning from China, was not Chinese, but yes, it was a shit show - no controls

Dr Birx scarves are such an affectation. I wish she's stop wearing them because it's distracting and becoming a joke.

He says that people with lupus aren't catching coronavirus. Then he admitted that "maybe it's false."

Where's the popcorn!

The cabinet would never dump Trump. They do ZERO work and are probably lining their pockets handsomely.

OMG sorry for all the punctuation errors! I'm just so pissed I can't type!

He loves saying how cheap gas is, which is great, except WE CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.

He loves saying how cheap gas is, which is great, except WE CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.

Pence is so fake.

Dull asshole Penny next. He's so boring they should just hide him somewhere. Not important or substantial to say anyway.

An wow, the US stole medical equipment from Germany, France and Canada in Thailand? Don't fucking call these countries when you need them in the future. Trump is a criminal pirate now.

He's concerned about people not being able to go to church on Easter Sunday. All of a sudden, he's Mr Church-Goer. He acts like he's going to miss going to a service. When is the last time he was in a church?

Trump acts like the medical professionals are shocked at the sight of death. The numbers, yes. But these professionals have seen death many times over. Stop acting like they're shocked at death. They're shocked at the numbers...

It's like a wedding speech by a great uncle who just goes on and on.

It's like an aging comedian who wrote no material and is ad libbing for 2 hours on a stage in the Catskills.

Who's the bald guy?

Like we need to put up with this raving idiot on top of everything else we’re currently dealing with.

What about the Hajj!!!!!????

Are we going to go through this every fucking day?

We aren't learning anything from this.

It's a fucking joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't those doctors SHAME Trump into forcing a national stay at home???

Very Stable Genius! Like a very smart person!

These are like those endless repetitive commercials on public access TV in the 90s.

Mitigation works but we're going to stop mitigating very soon.

Trump shamelessly exploits the simple minded faithful to his benefit. These are the kind of people that went into Chernobyl.

honestly, I don't know why anyone is still watching the old grifter r312. He's always the stupidest bitch in the room. Why is anyone pretending he isn't.

That other expert looks like a creep and another Rump asskisser.

So go back to work and die.

Cuomo is not "gracious" enough, Gavin Newsom was "gracious". FYMF. Jesus, what a joke.

The is also something HSN about it. Repetition repetition lies lies - drawing out filling up time filling up time sell sell bullshit bullshit buzz word buzz word

What we need is packed sports arenas and Easter services right now!

R287, According to Wikipedia, you watched a videotape after the fact.

But Americans my generation did watch a murder as it happened, that of Lee Harvey Oswald.

[quote]Why didn't those doctors SHAME Trump into forcing a national stay at home???

How can you shame trump? Not joking. trump is shameless. You can only speak to him through ratings and approval numbers.

I can't wait to hear what Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx really think of Trump after he hopefully leaves office in January. I'm sure there will be many interviews and books and commissioned reports that will detail what an absolute dumpster fire, shit show that this current administration was.

I'm sorry, but when he starts pontificating and lecturing I can't stop laughing. He's so out of his league intellectually. Oh God now he's talking about cars to explain the number "40,000" and comparing them to ventilators. HE IS INSANE>

He is also shamelessly copying Cuomo with his 'we're keeping ventilators in stock and move them to the most affected areas'.

R306, That and his plan to offer churches money are strictly about the MEGA churches, the TV "Prosperity Gospel" Elmer Gantrys, and the MONEY given to his campaign from those suckers in attendance.

Two weeks ago he was accusing Cuomo of hoarding ventilators in NJ and now we does the same thing.

Trump seems high, bitches!

He sounded trashed right before he threw to Dr Birx.

R292, He's incontinent, you realize. Dual.

Newsom is definitely a better actor, probably has a SAG card.

Cuomo on the other hand is using every ounce of restraint in his body to keep from unleashing a barrage of expletives in Italian with accompanying hand gestures.

PLEASE Dr Birx, lose the scarves. That look is so affected, like you're trying to create a brand. PLEASE!

Birxy trying double-speak now, how "co-morbidities" will be the real causes of death.

Oh now Trump is adding DRAMA to his pontificating. Like he's telling us a secret....

Hydroxychloroquine for EVERYONE!

And Birxy is singing the Trumpian tune if "The Federal Government us the last resort," as if this isn't a GD EMERGENCY!!!!!

“When people go into those ventilators, you know the answer to that.”

Well, now we know why Trump doesn't feel any urgency about ventilators -- he thinks anyone who requires one is dead anyway.

Where's Jared? I miss him. Maybe he's back in the Middle East trying to solve that crisis. Such a busy boy.

R334 we’re going to be hearing a lot about co-morbidities from these motherfuckers as they will attempt to downplay the death tolls.

What is he on????

Steve Schmidt said we're watching him unravel real time

OMG Pence is so horrible and fake.

I think Trump is on Molly? He is acting so spacey and euphoric.

Poor Mike P isn’t getting enough sleep. The prez is worried about him.

His creepy out of breath whisper voice literally makes my skin crawl

OMG, his creepy pedophile whispery tone....YUCKO!

And pushing this hydro-WETF .... Somebody track down the ownership and stockholders if whatever company makes this stuff!!

Like Gilead, Tamiflu, and Rumsfeld!

R342 He isn't on anything, this is the real deal.

Trump: Gretchen Whitmer, who the hell is that? Yeah right, I remember, the woman from Michigan.

I have it on pause. What does co-morbidities mean?

That creepy dramatic, whispery voice. Yes, R346, it makes my skin crawl. I wonder if that's how he love-talks to Melania...

He would probably be a better person if he WAS on something.

He’s playing doctor again. I’m watching delayed.

R350 Two diseases occurring at the same time.

Again, he berates a female reporter.

him pushing hydroxychloroquine when the FDA has given no definite guidance it is an effective treatment for COVID is almost akin to the plot in Contagion where Jude Law's right wing conspirator character goes on TV/youtube aggressively advocating for a fake cure for that virus. Deplorables will be soon be shooting up pharmacies to try to get their hands on it.

R350, most of the time it having asthma or COPD or hypertension, etc., as well.

I hope they all have fish tanks, r355.

OH! Now, Joy Reid is on. She'll destroy that mess that was just on.

Did anyone hear and understand the business about how "Executives" will get money (? credits? something?) to go out to eat at restaurants - it seemed to be very important to Trump.

R355 Fish tank cleaner is a good substitute! No prescription needed!

R355 They’ll all be calling their doctors demanding “hydroxy” first thing Monday morning.

You enjoy listening to Al Sharpton, R358?

R359 I missed that! Some kind of payment so Executives will be able too eat in restaurants? Too bad they're not eating their young now.

^Sure. Why not? Come on with it.

I much prefer Al Sharpton to the pig in a suit, who lies everytime he opens his mouth.

I much prefer Al Sharpton to the pig in a suit, who lies everytime he opens his mouth.

R359 R363 He wants to bring back tax-deductible restaurant meals for business executives. Because we have to save the corporations!

We now live in The Irony Age. Maybe Trump will die of hydroxychloroquine poisoning.

Thank you. Jesus H. Christ!

Here...read this thread. It will make you feel better.

WSJ:

Virus Toll Climbs as Trump Sees 'A Lot of Death' Ahead

Continuing my discipline avoidance of his shows. Such a good decision, good for my peace of mind and spirit. Reviewing responses without having seen it... it's like WWE. Yelling about the villain. He's just a TV villain... dumb and forgettable.

He needs to be taken out of office in Nov. Documenting his lies and narcissism on a daily basis doesn't help that. He's a virus. Isolate him.

There's a lot of death ahead. So everybody back to work. It's what we do in this country. Work/die.

The models (no, not those) show that up to 240,000 Americans could die. If that happens, the Governors will have done a shitty job.

We certainly don't want the money. We want work, and fast food. Greatest country in the world. When people don't have Obamacare, they are happy. What we're doing, nobody ever imagined possible. My son in law fixed the Middle East, and now we're gonna beat this invisible enemy. Lots of death, but people don't need ventilators. If they needed them, they would have ordered them. The previous administration, well, I'm not going to say it, but people say, there's no ammunition, but there were carrot in a garden on the White House lawn. The beautiful White House lawn. Some say it's a special place. The house was a dump when I took over, but now it's the best. Like my hotels, and my golf courses, and the Wall. Our great big beautiful wall.

You just have to face reality. R373. Nothing will happen until many more people start dying, and in particular, red States with Republican Governors. You have the Governor of Georgia who just issued a shelter-in mandate yesterday re-opening the beaches today. Do you think that these people care about New York or anywhere else outside of their bubble?

We have a pandemic crisis and you have a president that basically is encouraging people to attend Palm Sunday services and then Easter Sunday. Until more people die, and then people who are close to those who make the decisions, the severity of this crisis will not resonate.

This is just red meat for his base

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump·Apr 4

Palm Sunday is the beginning of a Holy week for many people of Faith and a great day to lift our voices in Prayer. I will be tuning into Pastor @greglaurie at @harvestorg Church in Riverside, California tomorrow at 11:00 A.M. Eastern.

Now... who believes that he will be really listening?

R364, That Mexico is still paying for! Like the billions we are being paid by CHIna!

Back to work! Our country wasn't made to stay home. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. I'll be watching services from the big, beautiful, very successful, they call it a mega-church, this Riverside, and you know, people really need to attend. They can wear masks, right? Not me, but that's okay. People can criticize, fake CNN. And you know, you won't report this, but Biden probably isn't even watching, and wouldn't understand if he was. It's called "Easter," very important for Americans. Maybe for other countries, too, right, Mike? Are they wearing masks? We'll have to wait and see. But Easter. Very important. We need to open up the country again. Americans want to work. The cure can't be worse than the problem."

Whoever R377 is has Trump down to a T.

R376, Bit of a digression here, but I find it, well, deplorable that none of our politicians uses the pertinent word "Christian" (prediction: neither Obama, HRC, or Joe will, either) in describing those who are, you know, Christian.

Palm Sunday isn't important to "many people of faith"; it's important to CHRISTIANS.

WH briefing at 7:00 PM.

Thanks r380.

I wonder if DeBlasio is going to get called "ungracious" or worse this evening. In his briefing today Deblasio stated the number of medical personnel he requested from the Feds and then said what he actually received was just a "down payment" and not the full amount needed. You in danger Bill.

[quote]WH briefing at 7:00 PM.

He didn't like the performances on the Sunday morning shows... and/or the message by the Queen of the UK got next to him. That was a beautiful message she delivered.

Last-minute too. There wasn’t one scheduled for today. Anus face must be getting bored and antsy what with no golf, motorcades or AF1 rides for such a long time.

[quote]WH had issued a press lid earlier today. Now it has lifted the lid and called press back for 7pm/ET briefing, after summoning Coronavirus Task Force members to the WH for a 5pm meeting, instead of a conference call.

He will mention his "good friend" the Queen.

Oh FFS this fat pig was supposed to give us the day off.

Hope Hicks is back at the WH, can't she keep him entertained and off our televisions?

Does anyone know if he stopped air travel from China? I wonder if he’ll mention that?

Dump can't travel to Mar a Lago and line his pockets with taxpayer money for overcharging the secret service for his protection. At least the Corona virus is saving us some money in these hard times. The grifter family must be pissed that money train has stopped and they are losing millions, but I bet they've already found a way to get their share of the 2 trillion relief package, selling our supplies to other countries, the test kits or future vaccines.

[quote]I bet they've already found a way to get their share of the 2 trillion relief package, selling our supplies to other countries, the test kits or future vaccines.

Omigod of course they have.

Ms Scarf already there. I won’t watch. Too many lies every night.

I’m sure Turnip is pumping and dumping the stock of that company which makes the drug he keeps mentioning. No question about it.

He’s flailing. He knows things aren’t going well.

[quote] “The Illinois Governor has not performed well”.

It disgusts me when he judges other people when he has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

Oh, he’s “inherited a broken system“, can you imagine?

“Rithromycin?” What the fuck is this idiot mumbling about?

“We’ve bought a tremendous amount of [that malaria drug]”

See, what’d I say in R391? 29 million pills.

Now the idiot is saying “doctors and nurses” should take hydroxychloroquine prophylactically? Seriously??

Is Fauci there?

Riboflavin

He truly is getting crazier all the time. I hope a lot of people are listening to this, as painful as it is.

vigorous hygiene!........ a punk band i played bass in,..... circa '83

i love when he waxes nostalgic for the stock market

R400...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guy in military fatigues behind the Anus keeps shifting his weight uncomfortably. What must these people be thinking as they stand there listening to this idiot ramble.

Trump taketh away (employment), Trump giveth (government checks).

He must really be worried about his re-election chances.

OMG, this Narcissist-in-Chief is asking us to "reflect."

He is definitely trying to compete with the queen.

“I see nurses running into hospitals putting on protective gear as they go.” His latest confabulation. Takes the place of the General telling him “Sir, we have no ammunition.” I wonder at this point if he even knows the difference between truth and his delusions and confabulations.

Dr F doesn't think everything's rosey. He's probably not there today.

Pictures. Big pictures. This is the only way to get anything through Dump’s thick skull.

Birxy loves her jargon, does she not? Has she said "granular level" yet?

Dr. Brix is working an asymetrical beige sash off the left shoulder... a distress signal universally recognized as "We're Fucked!"

There she goes with “GRANULAR.” She loves that word.

R496, Including "helmets."

WTF?!

R410, Last time I took the course, we learned that it stood for "We're lying through our teeth."

Ruh-roh. This Navy guy failed to acknowledge Trump.

You in trouble, Sailor.

Cuomo's graphs, charts and entire PowerPoint Presentation game is far superior.

Why is there a military guy up there? To emphasize it's a "war"??

Because, no, it is not.

And why is he wearing camouflage?

R412 here. I meant to write r406.

Fauci probably refused to return for this last minute shit show so they went and pulled this Navy guy out of a basement office and shoved out him in front of the cameras.

Kasie DC is doing a fact check on him, now.

MSNBC: "Fuck this lying bull shit, we're going to interrupt coverage and do some real-time fact checking."

Queen Elizabeth must be shaking her head in pity at this pitiful performance. Her opening act shat all over donald's embarrassing main event waste of the world's time.

Resign, already.

Shut up Pence you loathsome phony.

They cut away from Jonathan Swan who was talking about the Task Force fight that happened yesterday. Bring him back.

"Just how many shares of that Hydroxylchlorquine stock do you own, honey?"

Pence is praising the lezzie Chicago Mayor.

Wow. The administration is pushing this drug and Falchi is pushing back against it, as only anecdotal evidence supports its use.

Somebody in the press should just ask him if he or his family has a financial interest in the drug.

Fauci is upset that Trump and his cronies are pushing this pill. TY Doc.

I listened for. 30 seconds and of course he was lying, so I turned the channel.

I listened for. 30 seconds and of course he was lying, so I turned the channel.

Are we going to have to suffer through questions from the press.

This administration is more deadly than the virus.

No Fauci. Italians don't work on Palm Sunday.

What r423 said.

[quote]I listened for. 30 seconds and of course he was lying, so I turned the channel.

I think that this is what the Administration is noticing too. No one is listening to Trump very much anymore.

I want to interrupt my support of the President’s drug to Praise his leadership.

-Pence

What an ass, He can’t be fired. He can only be blackballed. So, there’s no excuse for his obsequiousness. But he accepted the job, it’s his own damn fault that he works with this sociopath.

[quote]Now the idiot is saying “doctors and nurses” should take hydroxychloroquine prophylactically? Seriously??

That’s why Fauci is not there, I bet.

[quote]The White House coronavirus task force had its biggest fight yet on Saturday, pitting economic adviser Peter Navarro against infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci. At issue: How enthusiastically should the White House tout the prospects of an antimalarial drug to fight COVID-19? This drama erupted into an epic Situation Room showdown.

[quote]Fauci pushed back against Navarro, saying that there was only anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine works against the coronavirus. Researchers have said studies out of France and China are inadequate because they did not include control groups. Fauci and others have said much more data is needed to prove that hydroxychloroquine is effective against the coronavirus.

Dr Brix is pulling off a horizontal print..... on Trump it would look like prison stripes.....

Could he be any more ignorant?

R430: the media are there on our behalf. Send your suggested questions to your print, tv, radio and cable channels so that they might weigh presenting them to Orange It & Co. They need and welcome our input.

“It feels right to me.”

He’s obsessed with his “hydroxy” GAME CHANGER.

exculpation!

I'm glad the press is jumping all over him about this drug.

I wish they put the money into testing, not this hydroxy medication. Trump promotes it, which means it’s probably BS.

You're brave! I'm sitting this one out and watching The Ten Commandments. Here is John Derick as Joshua. Rest your eyes a moment.

Thousands dying and WH toadies are focused on saving Trump from embarrassment over hydroxychloroquine.

This administration is now overtly guilty of criminal negligence and depravity. And the worst that could happen is that they may lose an election.

"Only CNN would ask that question. Fake News." About that anti-malarial hydroxysnakeoil that our taxes just bought "29 million doses" of.

Must be why Fauci didn't show.

And HTH old is Birxy, that she has annoying Millennial vocal fry??

R446 Trump says this a war so he should be charged with war crimes.

Good God, he needs to be imprisoned. This drug promotion is such BS. It’s obviously corrupt. “You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.”

The Press should ask him if he has a financial stake in it, then follow up by asking him to swear under the penalty of perjury.

I think that Birx should start using her scarves as a mask.

Her Royal Highness made me weep today, with her dignity, honest assessment of the present, and the acknowledgment of the hard work still to done to insure a future. No lies, no self-aggrandizement, no narcissism, but the regal bearing and responsibility of a ship of state.

it's not a patent medicine. It's dirt cheap.

Our anti-science president goes by gut feelings. We are so f’d. It must be excruciating for experts to try to work with him.

He insists on "What have you got to lose?" That dying patients should be GUINEA PIGS for his obsessive quackery!

The German in him comes out every now and then....

Why not just make hydroxychloroquine over the counter instead of prescription so everyone can take it. I mean, you know, if there isn’t anything wrong with your heart....

“Mike’s a very big part of this”

You mean, the guy you put in charge of it?

R451 a "ship of state"?

Why not ask: "Parents avoid flying together so as not to orphan their children in the event of a plane crash. Are similar precautions needed in your intercourse with the vice president?"

Also, "What have you got to lose?" LIVES!!!

[quote] it's not a patent medicine. It's dirt cheap.

29 million pills, the government just bought. At a dime a pill, that’s $3 million, right? But the speculation from the public is what will drive up the stocks. What I know is that every cell in Trump ‘s body is corrupt and this stinks. I don’t know how he’s grafting, but I know he is. For all I know, he’s invested in the packaging. Who knows?

^grifting

Look I'm not defending the criminal turd but he can't make money on this drug in "stock". Any company can make it. He's championing it because he's grasping at straws.

He's determined to "open the country" by the end of April, HIS deadline.

You don’t do Infrastructure construction in the middle of a pandemic that requires social distancing. That was a dumb question and answer.

He's probably playing the stock market in all kinds of ways. The "back to word by Easter" PR, 10 days ago, produced the desired BRIEF market rally but it was enough for insiders to make money.

R459, maybe, but I’m not giving this guy any credit. He’s an abomination. That’s been proven. We already know that there is no sleazy thing he would not do. He’s flailing, I agree, but he’s unexpectedly creative in his corruption and he deserves absolutely no presumption of innocence.

He is unfit and dangerous.

It's the Gov of IL's turn to be dragged through the mud. He must have been tremendously ungracious.

Frump: And some are even calling us to take back the stuff we sent them because now they have too much.

It's just keeps getting more and more insane. I never thought that possible, but here we are.

DJT: “Does anybody in this room think a thing like this could have happened?”

Fauchi raises his hand. Waves widely.

R468, That’s when the Illinois Governor deploys the Illinois National Guard to guard his supplies from seizure by Trump order, for being ungracious.

Trump is mentioning Easter and ministers ONLY to keep the Evangelical voters and Red states in his column.

If Easter were in May, he'd be talking about a May "opening date."

We need testing before we can think about reopening the country.

Location! Location! Location!

FYI: The governor of Illinois is J.B. Pritzker/Democrat

Gov. J.B. Pritzker calls for more ventilators, criticizes federal government in CNN appearance

By GRACE WONG CHICAGO TRIBUNE |APR 05, 2020 | 2:02 PM

Illinois needs thousands more ventilators than the federal government plans to give the state, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said during an appearance Sunday morning on CNN.

Pritzker requested 4,000 ventilators from the federal government last Tuesday, and Vice President Mike Pence responded, saying Illinois only needed 1,400, according to the interview on “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper. On the show, Pritzker said Pence was looking at a model from the University of Washington that, while good, was not intended for resource allocation reasons. He said Pence pulled from a central data point that didn’t account for worst-case scenarios, which actually indicated a need for “5 or 6 or 7,000 more” than what the federal government gave them.

“We’re looking at all of the numbers, and everybody is taking an educated guess because we really don’t know — this virus is unpredictable,” Pritzker said in the interview.

The state is looking “everywhere and anywhere across the world to get ventilators,” Pritzker said, expressing frustration about President Donald Trump’s deferred deployment of the Defense Protection Act, a point he’s made several times in media briefings and interviews. One of the companies deployed, General Motors, won’t have ventilators ready until May or June, which may be too late if the virus peaks in April, as models Illinois officials are following predict.

“In the latter half of April when we think we might be peaking, there are no ventilators available," he said. “New York does not look like it will be coming off its peak by the time we’re hitting peak, so the idea of moving ventilators from New York to other places, I pray to God that’s true, but right now it doesn’t look like that will be true.”

Pritzker threw jabs at Trump after Tapper played a clip of the president criticizing states for being underprepared and relying on the federal government.

“The president does not understand the word ‘federal.’ ‘Federal Emergency Management Agency,’” Pritzker said. “We have a state emergency management agency, but if he were right, why would we ever need a Federal Emergency Management Agency? It’s because individual states can’t possibly do what the federal government can do.”

States don’t have the power to use the Defense Production Act, Pritzker said. He also noted that intelligence sources advised the federal government in January and February, but no action was taken.

“If they had started in February building ventilators, getting ready for this pandemic, we would not have the problems that we have today, and frankly, very many fewer people would die,” Pritzker said.

A reporter just asked Fauci to weigh in on Trump pushing hydroxychloroquine. Trump jumped in saying “He doesn’t need to answer that. I’ve already answered that 15 times” and moved on to the next question. And Fauci just let it slide.

Unbelievable.

Wait until all the under-inspected pork products and Easter hams work their way through the general population. It's going to be a rough several weeks ahead, all right.

Fauci has sold out. Just like everyone else who works with Trump.

Absolutely, r471.

Next time he insults a reporter that person should retort with, "That's not very gracious, SIR."

Criminal in Chief not letting Fauci answer the medication question...what a scary world we live in.

R480 Fauci could have jumped in and answered that question if he wanted to. He let it slide. He’s sold out.

My error. I thought Fauci wasn't there. I wonder how he liked being silenced by the moron.

I think Fauci, and all the serious people in the administration, are afraid that, if they left, Trump would fill the position with a useless sycophant. That’s me being generous. I’m sure there are a lot of mixed emotions in it. I have to hope for the best.

R481, Discretion was the better part of valor then.

[quote]He's determined to "open the country" by the end of April, HIS deadline.

It's not happening until June 1st, at the VERY earliest.

Fauci seemed a little...I don't know...giddy or upbeat...even back slapping the Navy guy on their way out...this briefing wasn't supposed to happen today then the POS changed his and called them all back in...I wonder if Fauci hadn't already had a little vino with his dinner...

Anyway, I also want to be generous with Fauci and Scarf Lady and believe they are just grinning and bearing it for the greater good but my gut tells me otherwise...

Bet Dump wanted this presser bc the Queen addressed the nation today and was fabulous.

Re hydroxychloroquine, I wonder if the US govt bought the 29 million pills from a company controlled by Kushner.

As for today's performance, he was greatly aggrieved by Her Majesty's gracious statement. Moreover, BoJo going to the hospital and he's not for tests, he's going on a ventilator or the ICU, something that can't be done at home. Trump NEEDED to grab the attention away from them.

Look at ME, ME, ME and my wonder drug.

My doc put off an elective procedure for me in Boston until July 1. That’s when they are picking up again. We are supposed to reach peak Coronavirus medical usage here, on April 15. Will be back to near normal by June 1. But when we are, our resources will be deployed elsewhere, I assume, so we’re not “done” until the entire country is back to normal. The new normal.

God help people in developing countries, without advanced medical care!

At the link, graph shows peak medical resource usage by state and also by country.

Its really a big ?? why The Drs Fauci and Birx don't hold a press conference and spill the beans. One hopes its because they trying to be the grown ups in the room but.....

[quote] ...I wonder if Fauci hadn't already had a little vino with his dinner...

I was thinking that exact same thing. He did seem a little buzzed. Like when that reporter asked him what he thought about Trump pushing hydroxychloroquine and Trump cut him off and wouldn’t let him answer and Fauci just kinda stood there grinning. I thought I bet Fauci had a stiff drink before going out there.

I didn’t see the press conference today and I feel better. If I was there straight to his face I would ‘you crazy’. My question is to. Dr Scarf. Why do you wear a scarf everyday? Bitch, are supposed to listen to someone who can’t afford plastic surgery?

If Fauci did have some vino with dinner, you know Dump will bring it up if he’s fired.

Jim Jones to his followers : Drink the kool-aid.

Rump to the American public : Take the hydroxychloroquine.

Scarf lady had her jacked-up teeth whitened.

To be fair, r451, Her Majesty understands the gravity of the situation and she has done her share of wartime mobilization.

And she got to hear Churchill first hand during The War. So she's heard an inspiring speech or two.

And that's what the British people want from Her and She knows it. Honesty about the threat, where they stand and what needs to be done.

I'm just sorry it took so long for Her to speak. Johnson has fucked everything up and it's only fitting he came down with it after pretending nothing was going to happen.

[quote]Johnson has fucked everything up and it's only fitting he came down with it after pretending nothing was going to happen.

In that case, do you also wish it on Macron, Conte, and Sanchez ?

GOD BLESS BETTY!

I LOVE HER!!!!

Something tells me there will been another season of The Crown after all.

Morning Joe is all over him this morning, just shredding that insane press briefing.

I'm watching that, R500. Joe has actually screamed a few times. It seems as if they call Trump a liar every 3 minutes.

WOW! "Morning Joe" is advocating that the media no longer cover the Trump pressers. That's BIG!

Tomorrow they'll be kissing Trump's ass.

The press SHOULD cover the pressers. But the Dems SHOULD have a public announcement every 2-3 days and quite specifically SHRED Trump's bullshit. I don't know which Dem could do this - perhaps Elizabeth Warren. But maybe not an elected Dem. Where is Bloomberg with his war chest, by the way? Strike while the Bloviator in Chief is hot.

John Oliver's piece last night on that vile OAN network and its reporters.

Exactly,cr593.

Fuck that smashed face asshole and his shrieking bimbo.

These two cunts gave this fucking grifter endless free airtime in 2016 and helped get him elected. Now both of these useless cunts act like they are so outraged by his idiocy.

Fuck them with a chainsaw! They have never apologized for their bullshit and helping to elect this traitor.

Joe and Mika need to be brought up at the Hague for their enabling and promotion of this fiend. They also have blood on their hands for helping elect him.

I don't know of anything concrete but it seems that the unwashed right are becoming upset because no one is listening to Trump anymore;

Geraldo Rivera@GeraldoRivera; Really don’t like how #Hydroxychloroquine is politicized. It either works vs #CoronavirusPandemic or it doesn’t. That a fact question not a political one. Also, we need a steady reassuring voice like #QueenElizabeth to calm & unite us. Let’s put politics in the freezer for awhile

Dan Bongino@dbongino; I’m only 45 but I can’t recall a time in my life where “journalists” were as uninterested in getting to the truth. It’s all “narratives,” all the time now. Please, for the sake of your own sanity, do your OWN HOMEWORK. You’re being lied to on a regular basis by “journalists.”

Cunts

Yes, they are R508. Something is going on because Trump has been a banshee all day on twitter and his twitter minions are following his lead. There's something out there that shows his credibility dropping like crazy. "Morning Joe" ripped him apart this morning!

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump· Advertising in the Failing New York Times is WAY down. Washington Post is not much better. I can’t say whether this is because they are Fake News sources of information, to a level that few can understand, or the Virus is just plain beating them up. Fake News is bad for America!

Joe Biden wanted the date for the Democrat National Convention moved to a later time period. Now he wants a “Virtual” Convention, one where he doesn’t have to show up. Gee, I wonder why? Also, what ever happened to that phone call he told the Fake News he wanted to make to me?

Ted Cruz @tedcruz: Failing to prepare? Yes, fed govt should have done more, but you & Obama ran the executive branch for EIGHT years, you depleted the National Stockpile & didn’t replenish it. And when Trump rightly halted flights from China, you blasted it as “xenophobic.” Stop playing politics.

Her first, r498....

Government Watchdog: Hospitals Face Severe Shortages Of Medical Gear | Morning Joe | MSNBC

Thank you, R510. She IS a QUEEN!

BREAKING! BORIS JOHNSON IS IN ICU

His condition has worsened and he is now in the Intensive Care Unit

Just watched the John Oliver piece on OAN at R505. Graham Ledger comes off as a Fred Willard wannabe. In the "I'm getting a haircut" video, he has definite gay voice.

There is a link between the touting of hydroxychloroquine and Trump supporting big pharma co. Novaris. They aren't even attempting to cover up their money making schemes since the impeachment. His fucking base pretend to be law abiding and faithful but remain the biggest morons in their continued support of him. Let's see how this develops when they all start to die in the South.

Well. this is some good news;

Fox News is officially being sued for peddling coronavirus misinformation

Trump was Just calling it a hoax, and now he’s pushing a cure! For a hoax!

The orange blowhard is late. Again.

So... the Doctors of the United Kingdom are so inept that the Doctors from the United States are required to help Boris Johnson?

He is really berating the reporters for not being nice in their questions today.

Wow.

These reporters will have the last laugh ... but I do wish they would grow a pair in the meantime.

New cliche - "the cupboard was bare."

Well, somebody started a new thread today.

Trump’s OAN shill Chanel Rion is there, again, standing in the back of the room as usual. I thought the WH press corps banned her days ago but she keeps coming back like a cockroach infestation.

I've been restraining myself from pointing this out for weeks...but I can't hold back any longer:

I find the resemblance Scarf Lady bears to Ruth Fisher from Six Feet Under to be eerie.

She is a special guest of Grisham. These bastards have no respect for rules.

“GRANULAR!”

R526 She has a Girl Scout uniform vibe today with the scarf.

Ruth

What is so dispiriting, disgusting and infuriating is that that walking non-entity is completely disengaged from what he's reading in the briefings. It's so obvious he never reads it prior to being on camera, using his finger to underline the script and mouthing the words like a not-very bright kindergartener attempting their See-Spot-Run primer. Are there colorforms or pictures in the margin so he can connect the dots?

R531 And it’s always the same bored, mumbling monotone when he’s reading these prepared (written by someone else) statements. He doesn’t even pretend to give a shit.

Avoided this again. Truly recommend ignoring these pressers.

Chanel Rion should be respected by who she will become. Mrs. Donald Trump. Bye Melania. Chanel's pussy is dripping for him.

No, R534, Hope Hicks has that spot all wrapped up.

In the link is an official White House release, you all...

WaPo column says Trumps numbers are fading and Biden’s rising, but admits he could possibly turn it around.

Crazy Wisconsin is still voting.

Nauseating Kaylie McEnema is going to be Press Secretary. She makes Kellyanne look fit to move in society unsupervised.

[quote]WaPo column says Trumps numbers are fading and Biden’s rising, but admits he could possibly turn it around.

Anything can happen between now and November 3rd. That's like two lifetimes away.

[quote]Nauseating Kaylie McEnema is going to be Press Secretary. She makes Kellyanne look fit to move in society unsupervised.

I'm not a journalist and so I don't know the ethics, etc that they are held to. But, they need to go on on this one like they were rabid dogs and she is a fresh piece of meat! First question; Could you please clarify your statement here that was made on February 25th of this year;

"This President will always put America first ... We will not see diseases like the Coronavirus come here, we will not see terrorism come here, and isn't that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful Presidency of President Obama."

That’s assuming she reverts to the old model. Who knows until she does?

Scheduled to start at 5:00, late as usual.

Tuesday, April 7 - Orange It is going to lose it on-air this evening, and I can't wait!!

Gather round.

I’ll watch if you can guarantee it, R541. Why do you think he’s gonna crack?

Fauci is there but sitting on the side, don't blame him, I'm not even 79 and can't stand for two hours straight.

2 of the camera people next to the stage are wearing masks.

He's on. Doing his monosyllabic reading...Oh, now he's best friends with Boris Johnson.

I'm leaving.

He only has one flying monkey today apart from Pence, Birx and Fauci.

Navarro gave Trump the info on COVID in January so I'm sure a reporter will bring that up.

"If your governor fails you, I will protect you."

OP, we are going to hit 600 replies soon...

Tony an his "nasty numbers"

Anusmouth looks ready for bed. He keeps lying.

Thanks, R549. But we have a failing President!

I still want my test! I’m fussing on how to salvage my excess tuna, but if I was poz and no longer communicable, I could just go buy my missing mayo.

Why is he thanking super rich bank ceos? Is this the right place?

I wonder why other countries are not coming out and rebutting the Trump attacks upon them about being so far behind what the USA is doing? What Trump is saying is just not true.

Now he just stupidly monotonously recites the names of CEOs who are doing nothing but trying to take advantage of this situation. What a prick. And all those old guys are sitting at home puffing up because the president just said their names on national TV.

Do you want me to start a Part 5?

R554, he has too much power to hurt any opposition.

[quote]Why is he thanking super rich bank ceos? Is this the right place?

Sure it is. He's soliciting for campaign contributions

Oh, the travel ban again. I forgot about that,

Don’t fuss over tuna r552. Gross!

[quote]Do you want me to start a Part 5?

Yes. Or, pick up the thread that someone rudely started yesterday

He should paint eyeballs on his eyelids so he could at least pretend to be awake.

He's meeting with mental health experts on Thursday. They will place him under a 48-hour hold within the first ten minutes of the session. err meeting...first ten minutes of the meeting.

Did he just belch?!

R561 Oh no! Someone was rude on DL?

And now he blames the WHO because HE called it wrong. But he’s withholding money from them, anyway. R554, that’s why. He has too much power and he’s a vindictive jackass.

Next thread, from the original creator, moi.

CEOs and big corporations get praise, Governors get criticism.

Thanks OP.

[quote]I wonder why other countries are not coming out and rebutting the Trump attacks upon them about being so far behind what the USA is doing?

They've got much bigger things to worry about at the moment.

Yes, thanks OP. You're the king.

R567He likes Newsom though. Newsom knows how to flatter Dump and stroke his ego to get what he wants. I bet he laughs with his friends about the lines he uses on the orange halfwit.

Who covers new from other countries. Practically no one.

He said he never saw Navarro's memo. BIG.FAT.FUCKING.LIAR.

Will he fucking talk about closing air traffic from China for the next 6 fucking months now? Is this your only fucking accomplishment?

Blah, blah, blah, closed it’s down....

^That's his out.

The new drinking game: Every time Trump talks about the time he closed down the borders to China

Thanks OP!

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!

Obama didn’t close anything down!

How can we trust anything with this liar in charge?

So Presidential!

Oh, he hasn’t yet mentioned the drug he’s shilling!

[quote]Oh, he hasn’t yet mentioned the drug he’s shilling!

Why doesn't any journalist just ask him if he has any direct or indirect financial interests in these drug companies?

Well they should ask the question today. Because the reporting just came out in the major papers yesterday.

He'll say its fake news. But clearly he and several friends are invested.

Why doesn't any journalist just ask him why he's such a filthy fucking liar?

Why does any journalist put up with his daily put downs of journalists?

Why doesn't any journalist just throw a shoe at his fucking orange face?

Lie, whine, brag.... and repeat.... and repeat.... and repeat again.

What proof does he have that using mail ballots mean cheating?

....then the reporter needs to ask him to swear under the penalty of perjury.

It’s a miracle cure! Her husband just went to the drug store and bought this prescription med and gave it to her and 4 hours later she was fine. What bullshit.

He should be focused on the pandemic, not on saving pennies at the post office.

What pandemic? He’s forgotten all about that already.

God he’s ignorant AND stupid. It’s a frightening combination.

This was the last one I can bear to watch. It’s surreal and nonsensical. I figure if anything important comes out of there, it will surface in the evening on cable.

When is it finally going to sink in that we have to physically remove this lowlife shitstain from the WH to save our lives and the country? Fascism is here. He's getting rid of anyone who dares stand up to him with the truth. Using the pandemic to fuck up the democratic process and fill his pockets is only emboldening the thing.

Nancy must impeach him again.

He's

a repulsive

fool.
