It looked better for him if he said it was done earlier so he claimed it was done earlier.

  1. He lies.
  2. Standard operating procedure.
  3. Anyone who points the discrepancy out is a terrible person spreading fake news
  4. Also standard operating procedure.

The shitgibbon thrives in chaos. Did he sign it? Did he not sign it? Well, wouldn’t you like to know!

No, he doesn’t give a rat’s hind end about a thing except himself and his money.

He is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth, even about things as simple as what he had for dinner or when he issued an executive order that could save lives. Facts frighten him. He hides behind half truths and lies.

This a$$hole has his 40+ minutes of bullshit every day. It may as well be one of his f’ing rallies after fux edits it and feeds it to their sheeple. It’s all disinformation but it’s working for him.

Exactly. He doesn’t appear to be able to tell the truth even when it is in his interest to do so.
He is deathly afraid of facts which reveal him as the insecure failure that he has been his entire life.

Not only are these press conferences providing disinformation (with a side of racism) for his followers, the fawning from Pence and others, gives his ego the shoring up it needs. However, it is a poor substitute for the hate rallies and you can see it when he gets angry at questions he doesn’t like.

It’s past time for the media, all of it, to completely ignore Trump and shut him out of all coverage related to this pandemic and the gov’t’s response. He never knows what he’s talking about, he confuses the facts and messaging over every little detail and he lies constantly.

List to the medical and other industry experts, listen to Democratic leadership, and stop listening and repeating anything Trump says, it just adds to the confusion which is making the situation worse.

He jumps in front of the camera, and wastes SO MUCH TIME, all the time. Let’s stop covering his ‘live’ announcements because his words are lies, he’s distributing destructive information.

And of course Trump always lies.

I believe Schumer. Yesterday Trump was admonishing states to get their own damn PPE.
