Trump calls Gov. Inslee 'a snake' over COVID-19 response

Donald Trump described Washington Gov. Jay Inslee as "a snake" on Friday, a day after Inslee, Vice President Mike Pence and state officials held a harmonious meeting to discuss COVID-19 in a state which has recorded 80 cases and 14 deaths in the state.

The president made his remarks in a rambling news conference after he toured a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory where testing for the virus is done.

"I told Mike (Pence) not to be complimentary to the governor, because that governor is a snake," Trump said. "I said, 'If you're nice to him, he will take advantage.' Let me just tell you, we have a lot of problems with the governor . . . so Mike may be happy with him, but I'm not."

Trump had been grousing about not getting praise for his administration's COVID-19 response, and zeroed in on Inslee, saying:.

"If we came up with a cure today, and tomorrow everything is gone, and you went up to this governor -- who is, you know, not a good governor, by the way -- if you went up to this governor and you said to him, 'How did Trump do?' He would say, 'Trump did a terrible job.' It makes no difference."

Awww is Twumpy having himself a sad again?

My state has been the first one that's had to deal with this disease.

We've had to depend the University of Washington Medical Center to get a COVID-19 test kit together because Trump's lackeys at the CDC haven't been quick enough.

Quit your crying, act like a full grown adult or fucking resign.

Just another spike in the Trump Reelection Coffin. Inslee,seems to be well regarded in the Western States. So the more Stupid stuff the Orange Anus hurls,the more damage he does to himself.
