Let’s give him that one if he’ll give us “the Electoral College was just being sarcastic on 11/8/2016.”

Alrighty then…I’m so relieved that it was just all of our mistake for not understanding his greatness and humor.

That “sarcastically” excuse is getting old! How many times has he tried that in the last 3 1/2 years?

Almost all of us know how to interpret what another is saying by what they say and how they say it, as well as seeking validation of the comment.

Except Trump.

Yeh, I’ll buy that, because you were so obviously snickering after you said it.

Another lie added to the litany.

That makes it even worse. Playing games instead of dispensing information at a task force briefing.

Clueless and shameless.

So now it’s “I’m not a complete idiot, I’m just a depraved asshole.” That’s good.

  1. The media must stop covering these shitshows. They’re a substitute for his rallies. Give him a good Amish shunning.
  2. Birx must resign if she cares at all about the Hippocratic oath.
  3. Every GOP Senator must be voted out, this year, two years, and in four years. They built this.

The use of sarcasm implies having faculties of the mind and person that this man has proven in abundance that he is incapable of possessing.

  1. If they keep airing these shitshows, every reporter must roast him so thoroughly that he will no longer want to do them. Someone needs to say, today, why would you make a joke about killing people in the middle of a pandemic? It’s the very least they can do.

Libruls have no sense of humor.

I don’t believe he knows what “sarcastically” means.

Exactly.

Fifty thousand people dead, and many more to die; thousands more in hospitals now and many more to arrive there; thousands debilitated in various ways by this disease who will be living with compromised internal organs as a result . . . and this guy’s (claiming to be) making jokes about cures.

You’re just a laugh-riot.
