Trump on Tuesday said he had been sailing to reelection before the coronavirus pandemic struck the United States, and could have won reelection even running against George Washington.
George Washington would have had a hard time beating me before the plague came in, before the China plague, Trump said in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. And then, you know, like every other nation, like other countries, when you get hit, it affects you, and we went down a little bit. And then we went down a little bit more, and now were coming up at a level that we havent seen.
In both national polls and surveys of key swing states, Trump has fallen behind former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, as voters register disapproval of the presidents response to a pandemic that has killed more than 160,000 Americans and infected more than 5 million.
The president also suggested that if Biden were to win the election, everyone in the United States will have to learn to speak Chinese.

But probably not. Probably just means the Russian Puppetmaster will put more efforts in interfering with this election.
GET OUT THE VOTE. AND TRUMP, STFU.

(38,427 posts)....I am glad that he said this, because it shows this facet of his personality to everyone, and it is loud and clear to everyone......
....Washington as everyone knows was a great leader. Comparing himself to one who is a "great leader"
shows the absolute worst side a personality. It makes Trump look worse to people who have knowledge of who George Washington was..
...And almost everyone knows who George Washington was and what he did. Even republicans will be offended by this statement. Maybe just enough to vote for Biden. and.................................
..I doubt Trump will admit his mistake in saying this...

(1,648 posts)tRUMP actually wishes that George Washington be replaced on Mt. Rushmore with his ugly mug with his anus mouth... That way he is the "1st" President to be seen. Hell, he is probably even fantasizing about changing everything named after George Washington with his tRUMP brand. This falls into what Putin has been telling him, that he can rebuild the U.S. in his image.

(11,738 posts)The pandemic DID HAPPEN and it is so bad BECAUSE YOUR RESPONSE WAS AND IS HORRIBLE. The pandemic is not just a thing that magically appeared like an asteroid or super volcano eruption. There were warnings. There were opportunities to intervene to slow the spread or even head it off. OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL.
It was Trump's ridiculous response that has is in our current situation. Trump and the entire Republican Party are to blame.

If he had presided at Philadelphia, our Constitution would be four pages of infantile gibberish (word-vomit) written with toddler crayons.
Shitstain, George Washington would eat your lunch, hand you the sack, and stuff your fat ass into it.
