Ex-GOP Lawmaker Spots The Coronavirus Moment Donald Trump Will Come To Regret

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) predicted the moment that may come to define President Donald Trump’s haphazard and widely criticized response to the coronavirus crisis.

Jolly, speaking to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday, likened Trump’s February claim that the number of cases in the U.S. would soon fall from 15 to “close to zero” to President George W. Bush’s misguided 2005 assertion that then-FEMA chief Michael Brown was “doing a heck of a job” tackling fallout from Hurricane Katrina.

More than 1,000 people in the U.S. have now been sickened by the coronavirus outbreak. It has killed 31 people nationwide.

“It was that moment where he can’t take it back,” said Jolly, a GOP member of Congress from 2014 to 2017.

Heckuva job Trumpy

[Javaman]

1. typical in orange asshole fashion, he will deny saying it. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

21. Good thing there's video

[DanieRains]

24. Fake News According To 41% Of Voters

They would never believe it.

[catrose]

28. Yeah, having a recording hasn't mattered yet

[LizBeth]

2. I would think that refusing to allow tests from the start and the disinformation we will see

is going to be the larger moment of regret.

[dewsgirl]

5. +1000

[riversedge]

6. tRUMP WILL only regret that if it interfers in his Re-elction .

[LisaM]

3. I wouldn't wish an extra year of harm on anyone...

but if Katrina had happened one year earlier, Bush could easily have lost.

[durablend]

4. No matter

His shithead followers still think it's a hoax by Soros.

[CaptYossarian]

7. How is it that a bunch of goofy bastards who can't read or write,

don't believe in science and definitely flunked social studies know more about Soros than I do?

That's one hell of a powerful boogeyman we've got on our side.

[jalan48]

8. It will if the MSM repeats it over and over, otherwise it will go down the rabbit hole.

[RVN VET71]

13. Which is why it will go down the rabbit hole

unless things worsen and Trump continues to try to lie about it -- or blame Obama.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. March 9: "It will go away." Previously at CDC he had said doctors asked him how did he know so much

[Coventina]

10. Trump will never regret anything. He is always the victim.

He will go to his grave never experiencing that particular human emotion.

He is a sociopath.

12. "Close to Zero"

The Cheeto's regime's unofficial motto.

Unless we're talking about emoulments.

[Hassler]

14. Props to TDS for "Pandumbic"

[LW1977]

15. Chump doesn't know the feeling of regret

[Danascot]

30. This sums it up well

There is always something malign in Trump’s incompetence. He has no care or concern for others; he cannot absorb the trouble and suffering of others as real. He monotones his way through words of love and compassion, but those words plainly have no content or meaning for him. The only thing that is real is his squalid vanity. This virus threatens to pierce that vanity, so he denied it as long as he could. What he refuses to acknowledge cannot be real, can it?

16. If you are working on a scale of 0 to infinity, then 1000 cases is "close" to 0.

It's all relative.

[Orrex]

19. I am fed up with GOP assholes finding their spines after leaving office

[Coventina]

20. + a million n/t

[llmart]

22. Narcissists don't do "regret".

It's not in their wheelhouse. How much shit can one idiot rain down upon us and still get away with it?
We have surely lost our way in this country and I no longer believe we are a country of laws. The law only applies to the plebians.

[Catherine Vincent]

23. His worshipers were constantly saying...

"Thank God president Trump decided early on to halt air travel to and from China."

[central scrutinizer]

29. "I like the numbers where they are"

Is even worse, IMHO. Unbelievably callous.
