This has got to be the most cogent, fact filled presser by Agent Orange & Co…
Oops, the broadcast hasn’t started yet!

And the feed is live. Gotta say that’s one crowd I’d gladly avoid. Now for the ceremonial standing there in silence looking and feeling like dopes waiting for His Tardiness to deign to arrive. Oh good, let’s see what the very important task force meeting said.

Tax cuts cure pandemics. This is well known.

We’re going to handle it. We have handled it. We will have handled it. We will always have handled it. We handled it before it even needed to be handled.

Somebody told him to shut the fuck up and get out of the way quickly, because it would be a total shitshow otherwise.

I love this construction where they’re taking care of things and will have taken care of things and already took care of things. So literally everything is perfect and nothing is to be worried about.

Anyway yeah this is disgusting. In a week or two this happy talk about border closings will be forgotten as the cases skyrocket.

Maybe he’s going to announce he’s stepping down. Ha! He’s down so far now, there’s no clawing his way back up. Finally, finally screwed.
