This man is an idiot, good grief

[OhioChick]

Wasn't this supposed to be about COVID-19 alone?

Not much of this is being devoted to the virus. Wash your hands, we're in good shape, etc. He's making this out to be no different than the flu and is even mocking this. WTF?

Why am I only hearing about the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, his lawsuit against the NYT, how the DOW is dropping due to the Democrats, etc., etc., etc.

He's being asked direct questions about this virus and preparedness and is talking in circles.

The lady from the CDC keeps raising her eyebrows, swallowing hard and looks like she doesn't want to be there.

Kindergartners talk better than he does...."very, very, very bad", "very, very, very good", etc.

Mike Pence is handling this virus?

Why did something like this have to happen under this idiot and not under someone who could've handled this, like Obama?

[guillaumeb]

2. Trump will blame Obama for this. eom

[dchill]

29. Logically, he can't do that.

Hahaha.

Ha.

[guillaumeb]

55. Agreed. eom

[Kurt V.]

3. Horrible

[Skittles]

4. it's always about HIM

he resents ANYTHING upstaging him, including a FUCKING VIRUS. He is a sick, SICK man.

[OhioChick]

6. I'm in shock to what I just witnessed n/t

[Skittles]

25. nothing he says or does shocks me anymore

but the fact that he is STILL SUPPORTED by so many people, that I find DEEPLY DISTURBING

[OhioChick]

5. I've listened to other country's leaders throughout this

Most sound intelligent.

Trump sounds like a complete idiot.

Why does he always have to say "really, really, really" and "very, very, very."

Gupta is asking him direct questions, concerned. Trump is rattling on like a very, very, very big idiot.

Good Lord.

[3catwoman3]

15. He doesn't just...

...sound like a complete idiot, he IS a complete idiot.

I’m sure we all remember his ridiculous boast, “I know words. I have the best words.” He doesn’t know very many - his vocabulary is pathetically limited.

[hangaleft]

48. Sorry, but I have to correct you

His vocabulary is not “pathetically limited”.

It is very, very, very pathetically limited.

[3catwoman3]

52. You a very, very, VERY correct...

...and I am so very, very VERY sorry about my grievous error. I hope you will accept my very, very, VERY humble apology.

[Ms. Toad]

23. Like I tell my students avoid using intensifiers

(clearly, absolutely, without a doubt, exactly, etc. - or in this case, "really, really, really&quot . They are typically used to empjasize a point, but they also typically have the opposite impact on the reader by making the reader skeptical. They are also used as a substitute for content, typically by someone who doesn't understand the content in order to avoid explaining things about which the have no clue.

[ginnyinWI]

28. +10000. Nt

[klook]

31. That is totally true.

It is egregiously bad.

[Skittles]

26. filler words

he lacks the intelligence to have a meaningful dialogue so he repeats the same words over and over and over

[hangaleft]

49. ...and over

Very sad!

[Skittles]

56. TREMENDOUSLY sad!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

42. In my many years of teaching elementary school, the great majority of the children

have been far more eloquent speakers than the fking moron in the White House now. It's pathetic. Horrifying really.

But worse, a great number of Americans are not smart enough to know Trump is a such a very, very, very big idiot.

[Blue_Tires]

7. Was anybody expecting anything different from him?

[OhioChick]

9. I was expecting some seriousness in regard to mortality rates

He wanted center stage, I barely heard anything from the CDC.

[Blue_Tires]

10. It's really late in the game

to expect Donnie to start acting like a grownup who actually believes in science now...

And now that he has literally gutted the leadership of every federal agency/department and installed unqualified loyalist toadies, I have no reason to believe this crisis will be handled in a halfway competent manner...

Hell, tomorrow he'll probably accuse Hunter Biden of injecting the stuff into Mexican gang members and then smuggling them across the border...

[procon]

8. My morose thinking wants to believe that Trump's

stupidity, arrogance and ego will turn this virus outbreak into his very own Katrina incident and drag him down to hell.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. W seems to be just fine, enjoying retirement and painting. He and Four deferment Cheney should be..

elsewhere. I'm being kind.

[OMGWTF]

30. Elsewhere (for me) is The Hague

[Totally Tunsie]

19. If he isn't killed outright by COVID-19,

I'll take this as a suitable alternative.

[babylonsister]

51. Could happen, but who dies in the meantime? nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

11. He is shockingly moronic.

It's incredibly painful to know that 35ish% of Americans can't see this.

[Skittles]

27. they see it

they just DO.NOT.CARE.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

39. That may be even worse.

I knew there were a lot of idiotic and/or awful people out there. I just didn't know there were so many as it's become clear there must be for someone as blatantly despicable as DJT to become and remain POTUS.

[pazzyanne]

12. Jerad must have been busy? nt

[hellno45]

13. Everything he does in front of a camera is going to be campaigning. Remember his grand entrance

walking down the staircase when he first announced his run for office? Nothing has changed.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. Oh hell..he didn't WALK down a staircase. Chump doesnt walk if he doesn't have to.

He RODE the Down escalator. His laziness was apparent even then.

[hellno45]

58. you're right, they were on an escalator, I compltely forgot that, must have tried to remove

that disgusting image out of my head

[Totally Tunsie]

59. I just remember him riding down the thing and thinking

to myself "There's no way this A-hole is serious about running for POTUS." Damn.

[yaesu]

14. The idiot in chief in charge of a country full of idiots who voted for him. nt

16. This is Dense's audition for 2020 Veep-- screw it up and he'll be gone.

[mainstreetonce]

32. That is exactly

what I think the plan is

[MyOwnPeace]

37. Funny you say that -

I was thinking today that I'm willing to bet he'd love to have Junior as his running mate. That would assure the family dynasty in the White House. (you know, I should be struck by lightening for even THINKING of such a possibility!)

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

40. OMFG, no!

Another horrific possibility I hadn't even thought of.

[a la izquierda]

50. Do NOT put that shit into the universe. Nt

[Mila18]

18. Give him a break

He knows more about diseases than the scientists and physicians. Remember, STDs were his personal Viet Nam.

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Did you say "STD"?

22. He blamed the 2,000-point stock market drop on Monday/Tuesday on last night's Dem Debate!!

Last edited Thu Feb 27, 2020, 12:36 AM - Edit history (1)

If anything, the Dem debate calmed the market. It only dropped about 100 points today.

[SergeStorms]

33. Think of it this way.....

smart people will take precautions and do everything in their power to keep from contracting this disease.

MAGAts will heed Trump's advice and contract the virus. Remember, this idiot stared straight into a solar eclipse. This could be nature's way of weeding out earth's parasites. My sympathies to those with MAGAts among their family and friends.

[NoMoreRepugs]

34. Pence has a prayer solution at the ready I'm sure.

No science, flat earth , yada yada.

[PufPuf23]

35. May today be Trump's Brownie Katrina moment.

Not that I want a pandemic but I do want even the most impervious to see that Trump is a malevolent incompetent fool not a leader or protector.

Plus Trump and minions are anti-science and have hollowed out and put in charge maladroit leadership in the CDC and agencies tasked to respond to threads as presented by this virus.

[hay rick]

36. Answering your question.

Q: "Why did something like this have to happen under this idiot and not under someone who could've handled this, like Obama?"
A: God hates us. Answer also explains a lot of what has been going on lately...

[Ferrets are Cool]

38. The Orangeanus makes Bush look like a genius when he was reading My Pet Goat

during one of our nations calamities.

[Ilsa]

41. Trump is a WHINER!

"Boo-effin-hoo, it's not my fault!"

[Demovictory9]

43. kick

[sarcasmo]

44. Trump can never stay on topic, he has the attention span of a 3 year old.

[OhioChick]

45. A 3 year old?

You give him a lot of credit. LOL

[sarcasmo]

46. They know the same amount of words and both still eat crayons.

54. I'm glad we had Obama to handle Ebola. I think that virus is probably worse than this new one.

I'm no expert though.

https://www.mdlinx.com/internal-medicine/article/6080

[The Conductor]

57. It did happen...

Why did this have to happen now? The corona virus seems to have a death rate of something like 2%. That's the one this gang of dim bulbs is mismanaging.

Obama had to face Ebola, which has a death rate of 90%. He did. And with careful science and sensible planning using every tool available, they kept Ebola from spreading to the U.S., even as some aid workers from Africa did return and some died of the disease in the U.S. Anyone remember Trump criticizing that? Or failing to notice that the Obama response calmed the stock markets, rather than making them dive because our government now hasn't a clue? Our government did better managing the Influenza Epidemic in 1918, with only the crap medical techniques then available over a century back, which were just this side of bleeding people with leeches.

History is going to be extremely unkind to this orange idiot.
