HE'S CRACKING IN FRONT OF AMERICA

[spanone]

[irisblue]

1. Yep. Which reported asked that. He big mad.

[jls4561]

6. Think that was Peter Alexander from NBC

[leftieNanner]

7. What was the question that set him off? nt

[catbyte]

45. This:

Link to tweet

[MontanaMama]

52. That's badge of honor for Alexander right there.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

85. +1...if you're a Dem or reporter and he hasn't denigrated

You..you aren't doing your job!

[DENVERPOPS]

73. Question

who is that woman behind trump standing beside Pence?????????????????

In one of the last videos of him speaking, both Pence and her were sitting there like a couple of bobble heads dolls, constantly nodding their heads up and down every time he made a single statement........It was sickening to observe......

[ironflange]

77. I thought she looked like she was struggling to stay awake

[DENVERPOPS]

81. Yea, but who is she??????????

She was nodding yes like a lap poodle being patted on the head thru the entire Trump speech, as was Pence......

[Me.]

84. A Supposed Virus Expert

[DENVERPOPS]

87. There is no way

she is a science expert and backing the Republican Party's fucked up performance unless she has sold her soul......

Hell, she probably didn't even take Jr. High School Biology or any other Science classes in High School if she even went that far......

So basically, she is just another Trump Mindless Twat ??????????

[RelativelyJones]

90. That's Dr Deborah Birx and she and Dr. Fauci are trying to get real information out under impossible

circumstances.

[DENVERPOPS]

95. So why

was she nodding her head throughout the entire time, each and every time he started speaking........

[marble falls]

96. Maybe she's nodding as in "suuuuure you got under control"

[irisblue]

83. I do not have TV or cable, can't help there, I got radio.

Dark haired woman is Seema Verma, she is in charge of Medicare.

Light haired woman is Dr Deborah Birx, she is
the coronavirus response coordinator for the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

Hope this helps

[polichick]

2. Except his cult will admire him more for it.

[lagomorph777]

47. Who gives a shit about the MAGAts? They are killing themselves off.

and good riddance.

[WyattKansas]

68. Give it time... They'll be as humble as a puppy with two peters.

Especially when the tRUMP shit hits the fan in an up close and personal way, leaving them spattered with tRUMP feces in their dire need.

The rest of them will scatter back under their rocks just like they did with Dubya.

[kimbutgar]

75. Wait until they start getting the Coronavirus is big numbers

A lot of them have the high risk factors!

We’ll see how they feel after, saddled with high hospital bills and in massive debt because they got a frickin tax cut!

[MissB]

3. For those of us not able to watch

Could you elaborate a bit? Hoping he just completely loses it.

[spanone]

8. Trump is going off on malaria drug saying 'I'm a smart guy and I have a feeling' he's crazy as hell

[MissB]

25. Thanks!

[spanone]

27. He also went off on reporter Peter Alexander from NBC

trump said he worked for CONcast.

[gldstwmn]

20. Told the reporter

he should be ashamed of himself.

[MissB]

26. Thanks!

[tblue37]

40. Here:

[AllyCat]

44. A FEELING???? He bases all this on the shit in his guts??

What a sad state we are in and how dreadful a man is sitting there making decisions based on his intestines full of KFC and Filet-O-Fish.

[grantcart]

64. Wow

[Hamlette]

89. Malaria is caused by a parasite. This is a virus you idiot.

might help with the symptoms, that would be great, but we have not had good luck finding cures for viruses you flipping idiot. How does he not know that? Cure for the common cold? Not avail.

[Claustrum]

4. Thanks for reporting in.

I can't stand him so I turned my TV off the second he appeared on the screen. None of it is informative so it's ok to miss out anyways.

[cvs15ensign]

72. an F'ing moron

I can't stand listening to this piece of shit!

[SammyWinstonJack]

74. Reading what the Maggot says is bad enough. Listening to him would be unbearable.

[leftieNanner]

5. I just can't watch him

Anything new and special going on in today's circle jerk?

Or just his usual crazy BS?

Thanks for watching for me.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. He went WAY the fuck right off the rails right there.

[uponit7771]

10. K&R, People ... ARE ... scared that was a good question

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. "I know who you work for! I call it CONcast."

The fat orange fuck is raging at Peter Alexander.

[malaise]

12. More more

Lose it on air

[Maru Kitteh]

13. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE??????

[spanone]

15. Other than your life, don?

[Glimmer of Hope]

14. Wowee. He is out of control.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. Cannot watch. Meltdown details?

Hearing it's epic.

[spanone]

17. He's just fucking INSANE

[spanone]

18. HE'S CALLING THE REPORTERS DISHONEST

[dalton99a]

19. America is being held hostage by a crazy asshole.

[polichick]

21. Actually by his greedy enablers - alone, he's nothing.

[dalton99a]

22. +1

[blm]

78. ✔️✔️✔️

[DENVERPOPS]

79. The key to this whole thing

Is the Republican Senate, not Trump. If they weren't complicit, then Trump would be gone in a second.

By some miracle, if Trump got removed, the continuation of the Republican Controlled Senate would carry on without missing a step.

Putin, the mastermind, planned all of this and got a ton of Covert Russian money to many of the Republican Senator's Campaigns.
Full well knowing this, the Republican Senators have no alternative but to back Trump and the Republican Party's plays.......If Trump goes down, they go down.......

We should be going after Trump, but also equally going after every Senate race even more so.

As the Dems walk down the jungle path swatting at mosquitoes, they are missing the herd of charging elephants coming their way.

Sorry (NOT) for the "elephant" pun..........

[gldstwmn]

23. The fake plant reporter

was called on right after.

[backscatter712]

24. Now he's ranting about the Derp State.

[drray23]

28. Why does not a journalist have the courage to snap back ?

Like fuck you asshole, you are a disgrace. What could possibly happen ?get kicked out of the press room ? It's not like they are getting any useful info. They are enabling Trump instead.

[flibbitygiblets]

55. One of the reporters did follow up and ask if it was helpful to attack Peter

and that it was a legit question. Trump basically said "I've known peter a long time, and he's not a good journalist"

[sprinkleeninow]

58. "we've known you a long time and you're not a good anything." n/t

[McKim]

59. Yes!!!!

Yes, our press and media have been way too compliant and respectful for way too long. Why can’t some rebel, its just a JOB compared to saving the country!!!!!

[NYC Liberal]

70. Like Dan Rather to Nixon

[spudspud]

86. Because they're chicken shit...

and care more about access. Even in the face of a catastrophic pandemic coming on this country, they won't push back against that bully. They're partly to blame for him being in the white house to begin with.

[dflprincess]

29. The only reason I watch if for the final meltdown

which has to be coming.

[spanone]

30. Got real close today...and the day is young!!!!

[vapor2]

99. ME TOO

Watching for this adderall druggie to explode on national tv. Hie appearances indicate he is not well and read where he is given oxygen before and/or after his rallies. The only reason I watch this monster

[Demovictory9]

31. Pence never speaks without kissing trumps ass

[murielm99]

53. They all do it.

As each one is introduced, they begin their statement with an ass-kissing thank you to the orange turd.

If it had not been so early in the day, I could have made it into a drinking game.

[Demovictory9]

56. "bold and decisive" action from "our president"

what happens behind closed doors to make them behave that way! beatings?

[Volaris]

97. Right lol?

Usually his Public Ball Licking sessions arent till the afternoon...he must not have had the right amount of Addy Rails with breakfast.

[duforsure]

32. He's so screwed up now from whatever he's on

And making a fool out of himself again today. He exposes himself as a liar and a fraud every time he does these pressers, and he knows he's lost a large number of voters , so he's pissed. Anyone that doesn't praise him he attacks whoever asked the question then calls them a name, how childish and stupid .

[spanone]

33. HE'S LYING AGAIN ABOUT 'THE SYSTEM' HE INHERITED

POOR BABY

[exboyfil]

34. Three plus years into his term

It takes a cultist to accept that answer. Also he made substantive changes to institutions implemented by two Presidents (Bush and Obama).

[sop]

35. "A broken, old system...an old, broken system," punctuated by that crazy thing his hands do

whenever he's lying, which is pretty much always.

[flibbitygiblets]

61. Somewhere in that rant he lied that we're able to test "millions of people" quote:

"We inherited a broken old system that only worked on a limited basis, it's incredible what we've done hopefully you don't have a problem like this, but we have now a great system it's able to test millions of people, we inherited a broken, old terrible system, and we haven't been given the credit we deserve But mainly we should give credit to the American people, because they are doing incredible things that nobody thought they would do and we're making a lot of progress and we'll see you folks tomorrow"

[Tink41]

36. Not so sure

I've watched the clips posted here. I don't really see anything cracking, unhinged, losing it. Some have said yelling, screaming. I'm not seeing it. I'd be alarmed if I was watching a scene from my living room when I used to scream and shout at O'Lielly, back in the day. This is NOTHING!! Everytime someone posts here every week about Trump breaking down, becoming unhinged, on drugs, dementia, I'm not seeing it. I watch over and over and no sign of it.

[dawg day]

48. I think maybe we're jaded

Any other president who called reporters at a press conference 'nasty" and made up insulting names for news organization and refused to even address questions would have been thought either dictatorial or crazy. Trump has degraded our judgment so much we look at him and think, "At least he's not beating the CNN guy with his microphone!"

He melts down every day at these conferences, but we hardly notice.

[Tink41]

62. Maybe that's it!

I guess I expect to see "crazy" when the headline says "meltdown" This to me isn't crazy. Crazy for world leader behavior but in a general sense not really. So I'll take it to mean from now on the "crazy" being described here only applies to what is expected of someone.

[trueblue2007]

60. i can't believe you said that.

[liberalmuse]

63. That's weird!

He is obviously unhinged and on some sort of medication. I really wish I had a filter to not see him as a vile, vulgar, absolute horror of a human being, but I've clearly seen it since the 1980's. He turned my stomach even back then.

[dem4decades]

37. They had him on the ropes, they should have pushed him over.

[jaxexpat]

49. It seems like they back off at the last minute.

Possibly in horror at the realization of what a real, live, mean tantrum could damage. I'm betting some of those reporters are close to panic attacks after these episodes. I could feel the tension over the radio. Now that's Hi-Fi!

[RT Atlanta]

38. good

the sooner the better...

will the cabinet step up and 25A him to 'save America.'

[spanone]

39. Never.

[RT Atlanta]

41. I know you're correct

but a person can dream of heroes stepping up and 'consequences (as in donnie-t wont like me any more) be damned...'

[spanone]

42. I'm with you. I'm hopeful too.

[jcgoldie]

43. It was a FUCKING SOFTBALL question!

"What do you say to Americans who are scared?"

Ad he loses his shit and attacks the reporter... WTF?!? I know I feel MUCH SAFER NOW!

[Laelth]

88. It was, and he whiffed it. n/t

-Laelth

[OMGWTF]

46. I want Shitler to start swearing at people in public. Calling them "motherfkers", etc.

Maybe then the MAGAts would say, "Well, that's not very presidential." Then again, most of them are irredeemable.

[Harker]

92. He's always on the verge of his Col. Jessup moment.

You might well get your wish.

[CaptainTruth]

50. Every day since his campaign began.

[Dem2]

51. At least the market is more or less ignoring him

Seems they've factored in the "no valid president" scenario into their calculations.

[C_U_L8R]

54. Fuck yeah, we're scared

And I'm terrified that our lives are in the tiny adderall-craven hands of an incompetent insufferable nincompoop. No one is secure with this asshole at the helm.

[dlk]

57. Trump has become a potted plant in terms of significance.

He’s no more than a blathering clown polluting the airwaves.

[kairos12]

65. He's losing it, and no around him will say anything to him.

Miller is in his brain.

[spanone]

66. people are dying while he daily bullshits America

it's pure insanity that no one is repeatedly calling for his resignation

[NoMoreRepugs]

67. Where's a Dan Rather in the press pool when u need him?!

Let me amend that to read...”when the country needs him?”

[IcyPeas]

69. I don't want to hear about drug efficacy from a politician. /nt

[spanone]

71. Trump while touring the CDC: Doctors keep asking me, 'How do you know so much about this?'

While speaking to reporters about the coronavirus at the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control this Friday, President Trump revealed to the world that he’s actually a man of science, so much so that he could have taken a different career path.

According to Trump, doctors he’s encountered as his administration tries to tackle the growing outbreak have expressed to him how impressed they are with his knowledge of infectious diseases.

“I like this stuff,” Trump said. “I really get it … Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.

Trump muses that he could’ve become a research scientist instead of president.

https://deadstate.org/trump-while-touring-the-cdc-doctors-keep-asking-me-how-do-you-know-so-much-about-this/

[Pepsidog]

76. I want this question asked, "Mr. President for the good of the nation would you resign"

[tandem5]

80. I've had personal encounters with a sociopath...

and in my experience they don't "crack." We're the ones (people with empathy) that project all the pressure, anxiety, and most importantly the sense of progression and escalation on to him. In spite of the name sociopath, they are poor mimics of acceptable social dynamics. They will suddenly and strikingly fall out of alignment with an expected behavior that would come naturally to someone with empathy.

I guess my take away is that it's less about him and more about how we react to him. Do not make the error of projecting a sense culmination -- That his behavior is leading to a point where he can't keep up the facade and gives up. From his standpoint, even in the throws of apparent mania he's a placid lake inside. This is what exhausts the population: The eternal wait for that tipping point that will never come.

[Aquaria]

94. He's a psychopath.

Same lack of empathy as a sociopath + toxic narcissism + the ability to pass for normal that sociopaths don’t manage. Sociopaths are the creeps who scare you right off so you know to avoid them, like Jeffrey Dahmer. Psychopaths get close enough to fool people and do more damage, like Ted Bundy and Cheeto Benito. Or my father.

Or as my therapist once told me, psychopaths are sociopaths with people skills. It’s why they’re so dangerous. Surrounding every psychopath, you will find his minions and enablers who help him carry out his manipulation and gaslighting.

But your point is otherwise correct that they don’t change and they don’t break. Even as he was counting down the hours to Old Sparky, Ted Bundy was pulling a con and morphing into what that Focus on Your Own Damned Family idiot wanted to see and hear, to manipulate and gaslight Dobson and his audience.

That’s why the best way to end a psychopath’s power play with you is to cut him out of your life without mercy. Unfortunately, that isn’t possible when the psychopath is POTUS. The other tactic them is one that America isn’t smart enough or mature enough to pull off: Cutting off the diversions to gaslight with icy calmness and a refusal to stray off topic. Our culture is addicted to chasing the shiny, which makes gaslighting people oh-so-easy for the psychopath. Distract, deflect, deny—until you don’t know what the truth is anymore.

Sound familiar?

[cp]

82. Two questions

1. How can the people behind him keep a straight face?
2. Since these daily "press briefings" are full of BS and no useful information, why are any journalists still there?

Dumpy's there because he misses the juice from his hate rallies. Why is anyone else? Why pretend?

Thank you, Peter Alexander. Very pertinent question.

[Harker]

91. "When people are dishonest...

they truly do hurt our country."

Donald F. Trumpsky... Fri., March 20, 2020

[world wide wally]

93. Trump is like a virus himself...He only lives to annoy us and make us sick

[PolarPop]

98. They don't care...

Never did never will, and they will happily risk their lives voting for them, assuming the election isn’t canceled.

[ck4829]

100. K&R

[duforsure]

101. Donald "The Hoax" Trump will talk again today

And he'll continue lying , and the markets will react to his lying again by showing no confidence and dropping a lot more. Add to that trump and mcconnel;s stimulus package for the wealthy will just drive it down more from stiffing the American people while they funnel more into their pockets and they use their slush find to profit from. trump and mcconell are making huge mistakes costing this country's people with dying , and complete financial collapse while they self serve themselves up to this stimulus money , again.
