Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible. Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape! @CDCgov.....

Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump

I will be having a News Conference at the White House, on this subject, today at 6:00 P.M. CDC representatives, and others, will be there. Thank you!

8:03 AM - Feb 26, 2020

Anyone else feeling fucked?

Info about COVID-19 that's inconvenient to him is labeled "fake news". This is beyond dangerous.

[PA Democrat]

1. Good to see he is putting politics aside during this critical time.

: :

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Just another prime-time rally.

I won't watch it. Fuck him.

[jimfields33]

26. Not prime time but point still stands

Most wont watch between getting home from work and dinner.

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. For those of us that actually work, unlike him.

[Retrograde]

44. It's 3 PM PST

Hardly prime time for a lot of the country

[bronxiteforever]

3. Lying liar will be telling lies.

[global1]

14. He's Pissed At The CDC Cause They Told The Truth Yesterday...

when they said its not 'if' but 'when' this hits the U.S.. So he's going to have people there at this conference that will lie for him to say its under control like he's been saying so he shows he's not wrong with what he already said.

I wonder if he will have Rush there to back him up?

[bronxiteforever]

15. +1 absolutely.

[tanyev]

4. Wow, the word 'possible' 3 times in one tweet.

I didn't think it was possible.

[Dennis Donovan]

9. Worse than that, he misspelled "Coronavirus"

Heaven help us...

[bullwinkle428]

24. FWIW, that was my first genuine belly-laugh as related to the coronavirus!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

27. I wish Toyota hadn't taken the Carona off the market.

As the new owner of a smartphone, I blame all misspellings on autocorrect.

[Pachamama]

33. He should call it "Catrinavirus" or "Katrinavirus" - because that is what it will be for him

This will be his Hurricane Katrina

[tanyev]

38. I bet Randy Rainbow's got a My Carona song parody in his future.

[Pachamama]

43. I bet you are right...

Funny....that song popped in my head too when I read the tweet from Twitler....

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. It's possible that Ivanka has trademarked the word "possible" for a perfume made in China.

She'll be racking up royalties every time the word is used.

[hatrack]

5. Let's see . . . Doctors in white coats with Red Hats? Check!

Chants of "Lock Patients Up!!"? Check!

Blame Obama/Hillary/Soros/Sunspots/Adam Schiff/Mister Ed/New Coke? Check!

Stumbling, mumbling bullshit as Donald J. Shitstain face-plants on words like "epidemiology", "virology", "recombinant", "today" and "it"? Check!

Can't wait!!

[milestogo]

6. This will be what does him in.

[Dennis Donovan]

7. One hopes he "gets it" eventually...

...not "the truth" so much as the actual disease.

[Sugar Smack]

39. I agree. Maybe this is the day trump's batshit supporters realize

this is much bigger than him. Half of them are probably Preppers themselves. They'd rather not risk getting a bug of any kind. They don't want all those MREs to go to waste. They want to finally hunker down with their own families, now that they're set up for it. And this guy, their leader, is demanding they ignore the
Democrats' warnings of a pandemic. Maybe they'll realize trump isn't looking out for them, and it's time to do what they set up to do in a catastrophe. Time to stop listening to the snake=oil salesman.

[spanone]

8. What is that 'Thank you!' Bullshit?

He's one sick fuck.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Oh great. I am feeling so reassured.

I am sure his words of wisdom are just what this nation needs to heal our wounds.

[lark]

11. Well, I for one will not listen, not to one minute of it.

I know he will just lie, lie, lie and spew more racist, hate filled, America destroying self-serving lies. What pisses me off the most is he and his party defunded the program, defunded WHO and now have to ask for 2 billion (not nearly enough) because they had zero in the budget for this. He couldn't profit so let t hem all die and now he's lying and callling out Democrats when McConnell is the one sitting on all good legislation and refusing to allow votes for anything that would actually help the country. The Russian Repugs only care about their personal profit and power and will stop anything that doesn't transfer money from the poor & working class to them and the other oligarchs.

[eyeofnewt]

12. Another virus?

I was a bit worried about the coronavirus, but now that there is another virus, caronavirus, warranting a news conference, I’ve become more concerned.

What a hateful, condescending jerk he is. 😡

[Tanuki]

13. He will take a Sharpie and mark out any red zones.

[Iliyah]

16. Who will he blame . . .

3. . .2. . .1

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. With luck, he'll be able to spell coronavirus by then.

[global1]

18. He's Worried He Won't Be Able To Hold Any Rallies.....nt

[50 Shades Of Blue]

19. COVID-19: Trump's Katrina.

[colsohlibgal]

20. He Hasn't A Clue About Anything

I won’t watch cannot tolerate that Dumb Orange Creep. I am sure it will be rambling with multiple mispronunciations. Dumb and Evil are a bad combo.

[Girard442]

21. Can't imagine what he'll say.

Mark my words, at some point soon censorship of the media is going to rear its ugly head.

[hatrack]

22. AFTER US financial markets have closed, I couldn't help but notice . . .

[Johonny]

23. So huge drop in markets Thursday then

after he lies his ass off and freaks the markets out because non-stupid people invest money in the markets.

[bullwinkle428]

25. "ALL IS WELL" is to 50 traumatic brain injuries, as "USA IN GREAT SHAPE"

is to "coronavirus on verge of killing thousands in America".

[durablend]

28. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

It's mostly win-win for him:

Democrats die: "Good riddance to bad rubbish"
His MAGA supporters die: (Trump thought...though he may slip and say it) "They're just a bunch of idiots anyway!"

[durablend]

29. So who's getting fired today?

Must...not...make...the...king...look...bad.

[Pachamama]

31. Oh isn't that cute - he refers to MSNBC as MSDNC

He is so clever

[yonder]

32. And if he takes questions aftewards, the first should be:

Mr. president, will you be restoring the funds to the CDC that you took in 2018?

[Baitball Blogger]

34. We're fucked because he will use the low stats to claim he has everything under control,

which means he will shut down the wide range of testing that might contradict him.

By the time the clusters start turning up, it will be too late.

[dewsgirl]

35. He is going to make things way worse with this stunt.

I worry we are all in grave danger, I know that sounds like an exaggeration, I assure you it isn't.😳

[Newest Reality]

36. News Flash!

Washington - The Chief Grim Reaper has stated that he will follow the President's talk with some important commentary on his own plans during this potential pandemic and that will be followed by an in-depth overview from the acting Specter of Death.

[IcyPeas]

45. (nice image) /nt

[Vogon_Glory]

37. Is it too late to rename the COVID-19 virus the Covfefe virus? n/t

Now this is something that deserves something for Donnie to be remembered by!

[liberalmediaaddict]

40. I'd rather have dental surgery

Than listen to this pathological liar gaslight the media and blame Democrats for this crisis. In my mind we don't have a President. Just a demented carnival barker who holds fundraisers and posts psychotic tweets.

[ScratchCat]

42. I hope every single Democrat in Congress

is prepared to demand he resign after this press conference. Because you know exactly how this is going to go.
