President Donald Trump’s address from the Oval Office on coronavirus Wednesday night didn’t just send markets plunging (again) — it also required some immediate clean-up from the President and others because of numerous significant errors.
The sky is blue, the water is wet…Trump is stupid and inept
He’s stroking and struggling right before our eyes.
Well, aside from the expected screw-ups by Trump, including not telling the EU in advance, here’s something just as weird. Q-Tip Pence claiming today that there was no miscommunication at all! See, in their world, ‘clarifying’ whatever Trump said is not fixing anything that he said was wrong. Oh no, never ever never bend to saying Trump was wrong, misinformed, outright lying and more!
And Mike Pence claims there was no confusion about what Trump said.
I don’t know about anyone else, but my stress level was at about “5” yesterday evening. After the speech, it went to “11.” That’s as high as the numbers on the dial go.
“We have taken unprecedented action” (inaction)
“Against a foreign virus”
(China, scapegoats EU)
Sniff, sniff, sniff
If it had been a drinking game we’d all have been plastered halfway through it.
MAGA: Morons And Greedy Assholes
What did you expect from a Ritalin addict with a 3rd grade reading level who presenting something written by a speech writing staff made up of fluffers who fear for their jobs? Truth? Facts? Honesty? Competence? What you see is clearly what you get. A senile illiterate orangutan throwing his faeces at the camera and hoping it sticks and looks presidential .
Leaving aside all the things he didn’t address, in an 11 minute speech using a teleprompter he managed to bungle the delivery of every point he was making and lied about another. The only coherent things he could muster were, spoiler alert, describe how awesome he and his administration were doing.
Even given the incredibly low bar he had to cross to seem Churchillian compared with expectations, he managed to slither under.
He will soon announce that the chocolate ration has been raised to 20 grams.
The Payroll Tax Cut is a perfect example of the Shock Doctrine.
It is a cynical manipulation of the crisis to attack Social Security.
Nancy and the Democrats know this.
“[T]rade will in no way be affected by the 30-day restriction on travel from Europe. The restriction stops people not goods.”
Um…what about the people delivering those goods? Will they be screened?
The travel ban decision itself is bizarre and filled with errors.
Worst presidential speech ever.
But not for long. I have faith he can go lower.
Fake news. It was a perfect speech. People are saying the most perfectest.
A big strong guy 6’5” came up to Mr. Trump after the speech, tough guy, very strong, lumberjack, big hands, he came up with tears rolling down his cheeks, crying and he said, “Sir, thank you, thank you. You have saved me and my family. Thank you, sir.”
All jokes aside, this son of a bitch is dangerous.
Can we get enough of these sycophants to ever invoke the 25th Amendment?
Mine goes to 45.
You’re gonna need a bigger dial.
Well, it certainly goes to the model: create a problem, create a cure that is worse than the created problem, but a money maker for friends and family, put the proceeds in a numbered account in the Caimans, declare victory, then blame the democrats for politicizing collateral damages.
