He’s like a drunken passenger vomiting all over the back of the cab while he berates the driver and keeps radically changing destinations, all while screaming, “Do you know who I am???”

So we can assume that he’s found some way to subsidize his golf clubs. They’ll quarantine all Americans and US Residents at them until they are “safe” to return home. Of course, the government will pay for the rooms and food–at a “discounted” rate.

He must have secured “economic considerations” for certain hotel owners.

Fun Fact: His golf courses in Turnberry and near Aberdeen have yet to turn a profit.

@docd beat me to it.

Well the “Trump resorts” cut out is gone. If people want to be infected they will have to go to Mar-a-lago.

And BTB, Boris Johnson with his crazy “get everyone sick, we are going for herd immunity” plan may end up having an even worse response to Covid-19, outdoing even our own Pathogen Don.

Boris and Trump have exactly the same plan, Boris is just being honest about it.

That’s why the CDC hasn’t kept guidance on how to actually avoid catching it up to date, rather just sticking with the handwashing advice

Don’t bother. Soon other countries will add the US to their ban lists.

Asked about the Reuters report, Trump said “We’re looking at it very seriously, yeah, because they’ve had a little bit of activity, unfortunately, so we’re going to be looking at that– We actually already have looked at it, and that is going to be announced.”

What fucking time/space continuum is Trump working in?
And you just know he doesn’t rehearse even if he does have a SAG card.

Does anyone remember any press event during the Obama administration where the price of admission for speakers was to begin by saying something nice about the president?

I thought so.

CNN:

Google will not be publishing a national-scale website for coronavirus testing anytime soon, contrary to claims made by President Trump during a Friday news conference.

I know, everyone is shocked.

I sense a pattern, when Trump answers questions, sort of like conjugating a verb.

“…the Prime Minister announced that his government was moving to the “delay” phase of its plan to tackle the outbreak, and warned Britons that they were facing their "worst public health crisis for a generation” and should be prepared “to lose loved ones before their time.”

That is Boris Johnson, UK PM and the British Trump!

It is really very illogical and irresponsible of Trump to exclude UK in the European travel ban.
= #TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

The farmer retorted that the barn doors were BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT and then blamed the previous barn owner for the loss of the horses, and then ordered all Mexicans to be caged.
