Trump says he should do press conferences “five times a day” because of what happened to stocks yesterday. So he confesses that his coronavirus response is about manipulating the markets. He’s such an unforgivable ass face. Goddamn.

Today was different- she looked very serious and pressed him hard. When he seemed surprised that was coming from her and pushed back....she gave a nervous forced smile.

Things are getting real and she is showing that....

The hair we can see looks pretty white. Maybe he had to skip some of his morning routine. Never have seen him with a blue hat...must be some kind of distraction. Like he thinks a extra long tie makes him look slim. He probably thinks a blue hat makes him look smarter. Well maybe he’s subconsciously indicating that the Dems are smarter

Fauci is always good to hear. Spanky was stupid as always but brief. Pence is making an effort and not kissing too much.

At this point I think their political doom is sealed so I hope they do step up as much as possible.

Wash your hands and stay home.

Oh, that's right... we're supposed to blindly respect all the bobbleheads on the stage.

Democrats don't matter.

Maybe we can get some more CEOs to come up and "bend the knee" to Dear Leader... but don't you dare criticize those CEOs or the companies they lead.

That would be crazy!

I am not expecting anything new from this stupid news conference. rump is simply putting his fat face out there because he knows he missed the whole damn boat and now is trying to make up for up. The local news / local TV stations have been full of stuff on how to handle CV, e.g., stay apart from each other, wash hands frequently, etc., etc., etc.

The moron is guaranteeing his election loss in Nov. 2020. Guaranteeing it. For me, I don't have time to waste on a sniveling little creep like rump anymore.
