The President continued to downplay the threat posed by the COVID-19 epidemic Tuesday, falsely saying that testing for the disease was available for all who needed it and asserting that the novel coronavirus would “go away” with time.
Everyone was powerless to muzzle Benito Mussolini too.
Vaguely surprised that there aren’t any Trump brand COVID-19 test being marketed yet.
Can we please just call him a fucking idiot at this point?
When 100% of the human population is dead the virus will run out of hosts and ‘go away.’
They’d all come back negative.
Because he really prefers to keep the numbers low.
ETA: Unless there’s also a Trump brand miracle cure (with a minimal price mark-up), in which case …
Hail Lord Trump! We who are about to die salute you.
Like Jim Bakker’s Silver Solution?
Oh, that happened long, long, long ago.
“It will go away,”
That’s what the 2016 polls told us about Trump.

I hope he shared long, hearty handshakes with all of them.
Is it wrong for me to wish —REDACTED— with additional —REDACTED— and —REDACTED— happens to Trump?
REDACTED
What’s so frustrating is that the proper message is that we shouldn’t worry because we’re taking this seriously and panic only makes things worse. Instead, the message is that we shouldn’t worry because the only real threat is bad publicity, which is the exact reason we SHOULD panic.
But since Republicans successfully used the Ebola scare to win a midterm election, they can only assume we’re doing the same thing to them.
Time for the 25th amendment…way past time, actually. The rest of the world can’t take much time to look up and see what’s happening in the US, but as they do they must be horrified. It’s so obvious but need’s to be repeated over and over: for him it’s all about - and only about - him.
He thinks Stormy loves him, too.
“It will go away,” Trump told reporters of the virus, after a meeting with congressional Republicans Tuesday. “Just stay calm, it will go away.”
… … …
Saying that does not mean reality will conform to his wishes. He thinks therefore it is well… that is not a strategy. It’s a lazy man’s bullshit.
Doctor Don’s traveling kool-aid show coming to a grave yard near you.
I am so so tired of the stupidest, most ignorant among us controlling the levers of government, because it’s becoming, more and more, an existential issue for my family and yours.
We can’t do anything on climate change because they ignore the data and scientific consensus. Ditto that for gun safety. But now, they want to pretend a pandemic is just something to sneeze at, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Reiterating that I will support any Democrat up and down the ballot, because this can’t continue.
“It will go away.”
Trump’s pronouncement is correct. Someday it will go away.
Jasper McLevy, the (socialist, by the way) Mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut, was asked why he didn’t spend any funds on snow removal. His response: “God sent the snow, and is His own good time he will take it away.”
