President Donald Trump predicted that between this week and next will “probably be the toughest week” of the coronavirus outbreak replete with “a lot of death.”
When you’re a barker, everything is a carnival.
Sickening.
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself” would’ve been better, but that’s just me.
President Donald Trump predicted that between this week and next will “probably be the toughest week” of the coronavirus outbreak replete with “a lot of death.”
April is the cruellest month.

Toughest week in coronavirus outbreak…So far. It’s just getting warmed up.
“I heard people with lupus aren’t as effected by the virus. Maybe that’s true, maybe that’s false, you’ll have to check it out.”
He’s just gonna lie about something deadly serious, and tell us to go look it up.
Negligence, criminal negligence.
Why is this idiot at the podium recommending a drug cocktail to cure coronavirus? He’s saying he prefers patients to take this drug cocktail than putting them on ventilators! Trump is not a physician!
What is wrong with this lunatic! Somebody must stop him. Americans should not have to suffer under this sick dog!
When you’re a con man, everyone’s a mark.
Remember, the numbers are only painting a partial picture. The numbers only reveal those who QUALIFIED to be tested for infection of the coronavirus. What would the numbers be if ALL were required to be tested? We’d probably be over 1,000,000 and counting, infected by now.
He insinuated that anyone on a vent dies. This is not true. He is dispensing medical advice and opinion and it really needs to stop. Fauci tries but I fear he has no influence over Trump. Birx today thanked the governor of Oregon for loaning ventilators to NY just after Trump bashed governors. So, they try but he is not capable of shutting up.
Well, the Medical Boards should speak up and out about this misguided advice! This is criminal to allow him to spew off these medical misguided truths!
If I’m president, you’re gonna say, “Please, Mr. President, we’re winning too much! We can’t stand it anymore. Can’t we have a loss?” And I’ll say, “No, we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning… because we’re going to make America great again!”
Great at becoming desolate!
Not really OT, but this:
Now, didn’t Jared and the Feds say yesterday that the government isn’t a clearing house or stockroom for the States? Didn’t they insist that the States were on their own for PPE?
So if I’m reading that correctly, people that are trying to get equipment that they can’t get from the stockpile that YOU AND I PAID FOR now are bringing in the stuff from other sources and it is being confiscated to be used BY THE GOVERNMENT to fulfill national priorities.
So again, the Trump administration is taking advantage of everyone else’s efforts and taking credit for distributing PPE they didn’t feel like they were responsible for?
When do the lawsuits start? They need to start yesterday.
Trump Predicts Probable ‘Toughest Week’ In Coronavirus Outbreak, ‘A Lot Of Death’
Laid directly at his “no responsibility” doorstep.
Let’s talk about predictions.
Two months before the novel coronavirus is thought to have begun its deadly advance in Wuhan, China, the Trump administration ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to detect and respond to such a threat
The project, launched by the U.S. Agency for International Development in 2009, identified 1,200 different viruses that had the potential to erupt into pandemics, including more than 160 novel coronaviruses. The initiative, called PREDICT, also trained and supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories — including the Wuhan lab that identified SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
I assume that this grossly negligent “advice” will hit his base the hardest; those cult members who wouldn’t dare question the Leader’s word by using “the google” and end up dying
“I thought it was terrible what he did,” Trump said of Crozier’s writing the letter, adding that he agrees with the decision made by top Naval brass.
Of course. But, of course. Because it made the Leader look bad. Therefore, Crozier should have realized that sacrificing some naval shipmen was a small price to pay. Very small.
trumPP would rather talk of his own greatness. From Dowd of NYT
With the death toll in this country soaring past 7,000, Trump is focused on the same thing he is always focused on: himself. He proudly told reporters Wednesday, “Did you know I was No. 1 on Facebook? I just found out I was No. 1 on Facebook. I thought that was very nice for whatever it means.”
And from Jared who we’ve been told is leading the effort
Kushner drilled down on his role as the annoying, spoiled kid in every teen movie ever made. “And the notion of the federal stockpile was, it’s supposed to be our stockpile,” he said. “It’s not supposed to be the states’ stockpiles that they then use.”
Our stockpile?
Make Another Gaffe Again
As the the C.D.C. issued new guidelines to wear masks, the president said: “You can wear ’em. You don’t have to wear ’em,” adding he had no intention of wearing one because “Somehow, sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful Resolute desk, the great Resolute desk, I think wearing a face mask” did not gel with his image of greeting “prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know somehow, I don’t see it for myself.”
