In his effort to whitewash his administration’s botched handling of the pandemic, President Donald Trump is now actively shrugging off the daily COVID-19 death toll in the U.S.
Trump “rolled his eyes”. 
What’s next? He’ll roll his poo into little balls and start flinging them at reporters who ask tough questions?
Nothing has changed, he just can’t be bothered by it. It is understandable that he doesn’t want to get involved because he has so many other things on his plate – like playing golf and tweeting. I would say that dealing with COVID would be improved if he resigned but Pence has already proven he will be worse than useless.
Someday the world will “sigh” with relief when he is either terminated or dead.
hey, It is What It Is.
Come on SDNY. get to work and make his life as miserable as possible until he either goes to prison or flees the country into Putin’s arms.
I just have to trust Cristina that he did that because I ain’t watching any Trump video.
“You have to go by the cases.”
So Trump bitches that we have so many cases only because we have such a magnificent testing program, but then uses that number to minimize the number of deaths, in which we are doing terribly in comparison to the rest of the world.
Anyone else notice a logical problem here? He can’t both ask Swan to disregard the high number of cases as irrelevant and then use that number to make himself look good.
The people killed off by COVID-19 can’t vote for him, so they’re not worth losing sleep over.
“They are dying, that’s true, and it is what it is,” the President said. “But that doesn’t mean we aren’t doing everything we can. It’s under control as much as you can control it.”
“Are you still going on about that pandemic thing? That’s old news. Bo-ring. Can’t we get back to talking about important things, like how awesome I am?”
Just got my copy of Mary Trump’s book yesterday…
I’m not sure that remark by Trump was the most damning part of the interview. From
what I have seen, his fumbling, embarrassing, almost hysterical attempt to use the charts was the worst part. As far as I could tell the charts were unlabeled. Trump’s way of “understanding” them—“See we’re the lowest which means we’re the best”—showed once more just how impossibly slow he is.
It is unbelievable that this moron is our President. He babbles about ratings, what the heck is that all about?
“You can’t do that.”
You’ve got to use Republican math. Ask Karl Rove how that works.
That eyeroll is soon starring in a Lincoln Project clip.
Probably even by tomorrow,
I remember when Obama rolled his eyes then replied “it is what it is” over the Benghazi deaths. Good times!
twisted logic.
it sorts out the trumpets from the truly sane who are anxious for Nov 3rd
Had enough Republicans?
Asking for a friend.
He isn’t even good at faking empathy…
The reporter actually tried to pin him down, but the lies and backtracking cane so fast it was impossible. My favorite was when Trump said the famous “some people” said you could do too much testing. The reporter said who, Trump dances, the reporter again asked, Trump returns to “some people” and adds “the books,” and the reporter asked “which books” and Trump danced away again. It really was a masterclass in how Trump lies
You need to view our death count in proportion to the loaves of bread at Walmart on a Friday evening. We kick Malaysia’s ass and their stupid tuna on a Tuesday metric.
And kudos to Swan for not backing down and looking like an actual journalist
Somebody send a link to Chuck Todd
And all the “liberal” reporters will write how - both sides do the eyeroll.
