How much would you pay for this incompetent pandemic response? Wait, there’s more! It’s also corrupt! Now what would you pay?

That would imply an awareness his words causes uncertainty in the stock market. I’m not buying it.

It is critical that Trump express or acknowledge the unusual territory the US, with 18,000 dead already, has entered. Testing blindness remains a problem as do the structural issues with our healthcare system, intergovernmental relations, public health and economic literacy.

Please, Mr. President, do not add more cyanide (or hydroxychlorquine sulfate) to this already toxic stew.

Even his allies are telling trump to STFU. But he will go blithely on without a care, except for himself, cuz ratings.

Got the orange juice, but fresh out of champagne. I’ve got some vodka though, that’ll do.

From that graph, it would appear presumptuous for us to say we’ve flattened the curve. Maybe, but need more data points. So, no way we should be talking about taking vacations in June.

He knew about Trump, the eternal “optimist”, didn’t he? Twain had a gift for spotting a bullshitter, sort of being one himself.

He will
He has nothing else. No national testing response, no accounting of numbers of ill or dead Americans… He uses ventilator access as political favor. He has fed agents steal PPE shipments and they do ot get to the intended places. There is no national coordinated response to this crisis. The economy is dying and he does NOTHING about any of this but fret over his ratings. And he has the balls to say he is a great war time leader
