President Donald Trump had a physical reminder to refer to COVID-19, aka the coronavirus, as “the Chinese virus” in his notes for his press conference on Thursday.
Just wait til the Chinese come up with the COVID-45 vaccine first, Dotard. Ya know, the country that already manufactures most of our pharmaceuticals already? And are months ahead of us in dealing with the virus, thanks to you?
That Jina…
Tiny impotent little man
Whats with the 48 point type
Eyes getting bad grampa?
Syphilis does affect the vision
He can’t pronounce “corona.”
Every time, he says, “covfefe” instead.
I wish someone would glue his lips shut.
It just makes this calamity ten times worse when he insults the Chinese and pisses them off. We need their knowledge about this virus now.
Only if they do his nostrils at the same time.
Classic Trump MO: Con people into trusting you and investing, screw up massively by making lousy decisions, take off with everything that isn’t nailed down, then scapegoat someone else while you scurry off to hide in the woodwork.
Except, as president, you can’t escape people’s attention like you did as a private citizen.
Getting more Presidential with every passing day. He is a loser and an amateur.
There is one priority—shift the blame to anyone else. He doesn’t care that they make most of our medicines. He doesn’t care about anything but the one priority—avoid blame, avoid shame, avoid feeling small and inadequate. He would betray any other priority, he has no other priority, right now he’s Winston Smith in Room 101, and he’s screaming do it to Julia, and Julia is us. Anything is better than his feeling shame.
Morons gotta moron.
I wish to god he would resign. Or STFU at the very least. Of course, he could always do the polite thing , which is to simply die.
can’t he just catch it and be out of commission for enough time for the grown ups (the actual scientists etc) to address this in a non-international-incident inducing fashion?
For the love of god, take the Sharpie out of his hands.
I cannot find any news on TPM re content of today’s presser: he said Gyna virus again, he peddled false hopes…was this the big FDA announcement? What was it?
Mitch McConnell and the GOP senators are being exposed for the frauds they are ,with this crisis.
For example.
" Lindsey Graham urging Trump not to send direct payments to Americans as part of coronavirus relief"
So this is the pivot we been waiting for.
That’s because he thinks he’s grabbing them by the pussy.
Yes, its racist, infuriating, asinine… But what’s new? He wants us talking about this buffoonery rather than taking the actions necessary for the good of all and which, non-coincidentally, sidestep him. He must gobble up the news cycle by any means necessary.
As far as I can tell the big news was he took shreds of interest in a couple different medications as maybe possibly having some application and blew it up into miracle cures he’d moved heaven and earth to make available. In any meaningful way, none of it was true.
ETA by the way the live blog is where they cover these extravaganzas. But you have to see the back and forth across the media to learn about how nonsensical and misleading it was, because in real time that’s often not obvious.
So we should call it the trumpvirus instead.
