Pence is a fucking robot. He was put together without artificial intelligence as well.

Actually, he’s more like a toaster.

No confusion. They spent the rest of the evening 'clarifying" the policies because all presidential addresses end with the markets in a free-fall.

I once heard about a toaster that had the ability to be brave … but pretty sure Pence did not get that feature.

Pence’s very existence refutes the notion of Turing tests

He has to.

Toasters are designed to do one thing. If you get a bad one they don’t even do that one thing very well.

Curious that he would exempt the UK, which has more cases than many other European countries.

Yeah. Me, too.

I’m confused about how easy it still is for “Europeans” to travel to the UK, and thence to the US?!?

And Italy locked down, but when it was known how much it was spreading people still got out of Italy into the rest of Europe and in to the US without even a question let alone any screening.

Yeah, still confused…

Like every other decision.

He has no forethought or afterthought.

I suspect that the Travel ban was the last option said out loud so it was the one he picked (because he can’t remember the things said before)

100% Pure political pandering.

He thinks Boris Johnson is like himself. He likely thinks he is looking out for Boris.

Trump probably has more hotels in the UK and less in Europe, If any.
